Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / September 2005Sulindac
Any first-hand experience with Sulindac (Clinorol)? I just started a few days ago and it's giving me stomach cramping and i feel really drowsy. Seems to take the edge off pain but not sure it's worth the side-effects yet. They're not horrible, but i'm not sure. Have tried quite a few NSAIDs and haven't been able to tolerate any on a regular basis gastro-wise, as i have IBS and get bleeding if i get even slightly constipated. I have tinnitus and it seems worse too. Thanks for sharing any experiences on this. Mary Lou I've been on it for about a month without problems but it really doesn't cover the pain either! Take care, Vickie B. Mary Lou, I took clinoril years ago and had no side effects. However, that was before I had an ulcer and tinnitus. Would probably be different now.

It didn't really cut it for me pain-wise either. Then again, most NSAIDS haven't done much for me, either that, or they work for a month or two, then wham! Nothing. I hope that your stomach quiets down and that the sulindac kicks into high gear for you, Charlene took clinoril 19 years ago, briefly. didn't help any, but no side effects for me. Taht said, everyone's different. I just went through 3 NSAIDs in a row that had unacceptable side effects for me before we found one that I can take (this all since they took Bextra away from me). You must feel like you're on the NSAID merry-go-round, but I'd say call your doc and see if there's anything else left that you can try.

The problem with nsaids is that everyone reacts differently to them. You just don't know how one partic. one will affect you until you try it - trial and error approach unfortunately. I went through about 5-6 nsaids before I found clinoril. I did end up getting an ulcer with it though. alison Alison, I think Clinoril is what gave me my ulcer also.

My stomach can't seem to tolerate it and it was making me feel kind of agitated (i also use Wellbutrin) and my tinnitus got too loud at night. If it can be beneficial for occasional use on a bad day, that would probably be fine. >Alison, I think Clinoril is what gave me my ulcer also. >Gwen [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> >> alison > Any first-hand experience with Sulindac (Clinorol)? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Mary Lou *IF* this is the same drug that I was first started on (~7 years ago) it was okay, but REALLY messed up my stomach and made my reflux unbearable (and dangerous). The drug name sounds VERY familiar, and I think it was the one that I was on before Celebrex.

Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too.
