My insurance company will no longer pay for Celebrex. What drug will work as well as Celebrex does? I have tried diclofenac, mobic, and all the generic celecoxibs but none work for me. I have arthritis in every vertebra of my spine. With Celebrex, I have no pain whatsoever and complete freedom of movement. Without it, the pain is agonizing and debilitating. I have been taking Celebrex 200 mg twice a day.
What drug works as well as Celebrex?

Hum... Lyrica! I would say gabapentin but they always upset my stomach. I take 150 mg of Lyrica 3 times a day.It works wonders on my arthritis in my back and shoulder.

Thank you, Benny! I’ll see if my dr. will prescribe it. Have you had any adverse side effects with the Lyrica?

I took Lyrica 75 mg 2Xday and became manic. I went off it for 6 weeks and went back to just 75 mg daily 4 days ago and haven't slept for 40 hours but I feel happy. Can Lyrica have antidepressant properties? One of it's listed side-effects is indeed mania.
