Hi. I have chronic lower back pain that prevents me fro walking more than 50 yards at a time. I also have a severely arthritic left ankle that is painful. I will likely get a STAR replacement. I am on blood pressure, diabetes, depression, and anxiety meds. Will 15mg of Meloxicam help me? ## What other medications do you take? I am sorry, but I can't really answer your question without more details. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, and according to NIH studies, it may be contraindicated with some medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, it may also react with some other medications. Can you please post back with the names of the others you are currently taking? Thank you!

Hi my doctor prescribed meloxicam 15 mg for me however he had prescribed 7.5 in the past so I take the low dose instead however I still have pain in my hip can I take a OTC pain pill as we'll. ## Hello, Cat! How are you? Meloxicam is a pretty potent NSAID, so it would be best not to combine it with anything else, without your doctor's permission. Have you tried taking the 15mg he has prescribed, now? That might help you pain more adequately. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. ## Hello , hope all is well.

I am looking for a doctor in virginia who will take self pay patients and who is not against opioid medications. I'm currently on Amatriptalin Tizanidin and Meloxicam (which is killing my stomach due to many years of nsaid). These medications help but they are not enough. I'm in physical therapy and the pain is preventing me any my therapist from being able to progress in my therapy. I live in the Charlottesville area and every doctor has gone complete opioid prohibition. I just need a little more help with my pain so that I can progress in my therapy. I am willing to travel far. If anyone knows of any doctor in Virginia who may be willing to help, please let me know and thank you in advance.

I am taking Meloxicam 15 mg for my Carpel Tunnel, but it takes forever to work. Can I double up on the dosage? ## Hello, Kim! How are you? I'm sorry that you're in pain. The FDA classifies Meloxicam as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, which means that there is some risk of stomach ulceration, bleeding and liver damage, especially with higher doses, thus, it would be best not to raise your dosage, unless your doctor approves. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No, I thank you for your advice and help. Besides Meloxicam is there any medication that I can use for my Carpel Tunnel? ## Can Meloxicam be used for sore muscles? Worked out for the first time in a while and have severe muscle soreness.

I have been fighting with lower back and left leg pain. I've been on a walker for 9 months now. Can you please tell me if it's okay to take two meloxicam 15mg at one time, cause one is not helping? ## It would be best not to change your dosage, without your doctor's approval.

i found some pills in my room that are small, white, and oval with the number 15 on one side and they are blank on the other side. Please help me figure this out. Thank You ## Based on your description, the closest match is a light yellow (could be mistaken for white?) oblong tablet with 15 on one side and blank on the other. A picture is available for verification at this URL: If this is what you have, then it's Meloxicam 15 mg, manufactured by Lupin Pharmaceuticals. If this isn't a match, then can you please include any other details you can think of? Please post back if you have any other questions or information to add... ## I take that tablet, also, and what is described is probably meloxocam, but the image shown greatly exaggerates the shade of yellow. The actual product i...

would it be dangerous if I take my medical marijuana while on a meloxicam prescription? ## Hello, Rummpa! How are you? No, marijuana has not been known to cause any problems or interactions with any prescription medications, so far. That's why so many doctors are in favor of its use. However, combined with the side effects of the Meloxicam, which is classified by the FDA as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, you may experience more dizziness, drowsiness and dry mouth than usual. Other Meloxicam side effects may include headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Marijuana and effexor have a bad reaction together. They both bump serotonin levels up and the combo of them can range from nausea to seizures. I know this from my d...

Is it ok for me to take Meloxicam 15mg after expiration (3/16/2016 to 3/16/2017)?

Can Meloxicam 15mg and Oxycodone be ingested together for sciatica pain relief? I take Meloxicam once daily. ## They can be taken together, if your doctor has instructed you to do so, but you may experience increased side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness, according to FDA reports. The Oxycodone also carries the risk of being habit forming. Are you on any other medications? Were these both prescribed for you?

Hi, I was prescribed meloxicam for my tailbone pain. I took one 7.5mg dose and that gave me the worst panic attack. I am not taking it anymore but i still feel very anxious and I am not myself anymore. It has been 5 days since i took the dose. Will this take time to go away? Do I need any other treatments for these side effects? ## It has been known to cause anxiety/panic attacks, in some people that take it, according to FDA reports, but it is very rare. It is also very unusual for it to linger that long after having taken just one dose. Its other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. Have things improved, yet? Are you on any other medications? ## It's a lot better now but I still have anxiety ...

I have recently quit taking pain meds that I have taken for the past ten years. I was up to 8 Vicoprofen and 4 Tramadol every day. I was so tired of getting up and felling horrible from the toxins in the opoides that I just don't want to do it anymore. However, now I have to deal with how painful it is without the meds and how tired I am. I shower every morning and try to take a 2 mile walk each day, but I am too tired and sore to keep it up. I was hoping a good NSAID would help me, but am so afraid it will have severe physical affects...possibly non-reversible. The side effects on the bottle are nothing compared to the research I have found on the computer. I watched my mother go thru many months of daily dialysis and then eventually chose to quit and she passed away by drowning in...

My doctor diagnosed me with RA October 2011 and prescribed Meloxicam 15mg. I asked for the bloodwork to show my pain doctor and was told by his PA that my bloodwork does not show I have RA. I am in complete shock!!! 1st, why would he do this and 2nd, will taking this for all these years without having RA cause issues? I am having bouts of diarrhea and just had a colonoscopy and an upper GI is scheduled next month. I have extreme shortness of breath but doctor says it is my nerves & there is nothing wrong with me although I pulled reports from where I get all my tests and it shows emphysema, COPD, degenerative disc disease, bone spurs, mild scoliosis and endobronchial mucous plugs in both lungs. I was hospitalized in 2013 with COPD and he says it was asthmatic bronchitis. I just found o
