Does Celebrex Withdrawal Result In Severe Joints And Nerve Pain?
I have been taking Celebrex 200 mg 1X day for about 5 months for arthritis and ulner nerve pain. I missed a few doses and I am now experiencing more pain than even before I began taking the Celebrex. Is this a type of withdrawal from this medication?

Hello,
First of all, it is not a habit-forming drug so the use of word withdrawal is not correct. other thing is that it is a normal pain killer.
The duration you take it, there will be a relief. the moment you left it, you will have pain. And the last thing is that you should not take this drug for so long duration. it will affect your kidney.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
