In reply to Celebrex aggravating depression! WHY?, posted by nhgrandma on January 15, 2001, at 21:09:59
Hi nhgrandma -
I went to www.google.com and searched on "celebrex" and "depression". (Unfortunately, if you add in the term "celexa" you pull up a bunch of pages about how people are confusing the names of Celebrex and Celexa.) I did see some reports of depression beginning or increasing after starting Celebrex. I think you should look at them. Have you spoken to your doctor? Are there any other NSAIDs you can take?
best,
mary
> Why do anti-inflamatory medications (the latest being Celebrex) aggravate depression? I am currently on 20 mg Celexa and .50 mg Clonazepam for sleep. The combo has been working great until I added Celebrex for neck pain. I have experimented over the last 3 months and have found a definite correlation between Celebrex and increased depression. But the pain diminishes. Bummer. I do not understand. Is there any reason or answer for this problem? Thanks
