Ed they announced it here in the USA yesterday that they are pulling it. That is a drug I NEED. I have arthritis, bad back pain from degenerated discs, a broken rod from years ago, and GERD. I don't do well on NSAIDS. I have worked my way through just about all of them. I don't want to have to take narcotics.
I am rationing out the last of what I have. Celebrex is still on the market as of today, but I don't know for how much longer. I was on Vioxx years ago before Bextra. It is banned, too.
For me depression and pain are mixed. My depression makes the pain worse, and of course pain makes the depression much worse. I am just sick over this.
