For Osteoarthritis "I have only taken 2 pills! One last night and one this morning. I have had the worst stomach pains and diarrhea ever in life! I would rather have the agony. I was given it from my stand-in nurse/doctor, he told me it was new to the books. Why did I even try to take it? I will not take it again."

For Osteoarthritis "Have been on meloxicam for approx. 2.5 months for hip pain. Ortho doc decided to put me on Vimovo. Took my first dose on a Friday morning. By Sunday morning, wasn't feeling well in my stomach. Decided not to take Sunday night pill. Then the diarrhea started on Monday. OMG! Stomach pain, so far 3 days of watery stools, gas (both ends). Went to gastro doc yesterday, and they have me set up for a slew of tests, but... I'm really wondering if the Vimovo didn't cause all of this. I did have 1 bloody stool on Thursday before I started taking Vimovo, but none since. So it could be something else... but I'm not ever taking Vimovo again. Too much of a coincidence!"

For Osteoarthritis "This medication is awful. After 4 days of taking it, I had diarrhea, stomach cramps, dizziness, and weakness. Why is this medicine on the market? I took this after eating, and I still feel sick. This medicine goes in the bin!"

For Osteoarthritis "Horrible experience. Took for 14 days as directed and by day 11, there was blood in my bowel movements. Days 12 and 13 had me doubled over with severe stomach pains and watery diarrhea up to (no exaggeration... 18 times a day). I figured that it was from this new medication and stopped immediately. Stomach pain subsided, but now need a colonoscopy to be sure that I am okay. Also gained 8 pounds in these 2 weeks. Really helped with my hip pain, but no thanks... I'd rather deal with hip pain than this nightmare."
