Celebrex and Robaxin

View More Posts Ignore
I started Celebrex last week at 200mg per day. In addition, I take Robaxin abour 3 times per day at 500mg. I have not really noticed if the Robaxin is having any effect... but the Celebrex if I wake up and take it first thing it starts to help by the time I exercise about an hour later. But it did take a few days to get this effect. It also seems to wear off by 5pm.

I'm still in a lot of pain, though maybe not as much as some other folks on here... I guess I'l just wondering has anybody had any better results from other drugs or perhaps higher doses of Celebrex?

" I have been on both at the same time and add Flexeral to the mix.
Roboxin is a muscle relaxer so between the two you are taking, you are also treating the muscles around the joints.
I now take Nanoproxin 550 mgs 2x a day, Roboxin 500 2x a day and Flexeral 10 mgs 2x a day. "
