Due to excess inflammation in my body and a swollen cornea my ophthalmologist started me on DEXPAK 10 DAY. The only serious side effect I had was about 24 hours after I had taken the final tablet, I suffered some serious withdrawal pains (severe headache and an irregular heart beat)... I thought I was having a stroke! The medicine has corrected the swelling in my cornea so it was very success...

i am not having bad stomach pains and it looks like i have placed an air hose up to my stomach due to how bloated it is. I have 2 more days of this med and i can't wait til i can get off of it. I would rather deal with the reactions i was getting from the other meds then dealing with all this pain in my stomach. I cant eat or drink anything without it hurting more.

The only serious side effect I had was about 24 hours after I had taken the final tablet, I suffered some serious withdrawal pains (severe headache and an irregular heart beat)... I thought I was having a stroke! The medicine has corrected the swelling in my cornea so it was very successful. Because it relieved my arthritis (good side effect) it made me realize I have excess inflammation in my body. I am now having extensive blood work done to identify what other problems I have with my auto immune system. I think I am currently suffering from polypharmacy (over medicated). I am currently taking 9 various prescription drugs prescribed by a number of specialized physicians that has been prescribed over the past 6 years. Read More Read Less

I am taking this for tendonitis in my foot. I have had extreme, uncontrollable hiccups since starting this drug and I have decided to discontinue its use on my third day. I cannot function even partially with this constant hiccuping.

This medicine can cause some serious side effects. I developed a UTI a few days after starting on this med which I'm being treated; however the worst side effect is trouble sleeping and the pain/swelling I have developed in my joints (especially my feet, knee and hip joints). The pain is xcruciating at times and I can't sleep at night due to the pain. This pain started on the 9th day of taking this medicine... it was a 10 day dose (DexPak). I hope that there has not been any permanent damage to my muscle, bone or joints.Read More Read Less
