Hi all,
I was recently rx'd Vioxx for some persistent imflammation resulting from a knee surgery 10 weeks ago. Since starting it, my sleep patterns have been weird. I get very tired at night, but don't fall completely asleep. I get into that pre-sleep drowsy state and just stay there all night. I also notice that effect when taking Motrin and Advil.
I remember sometime in the last 4-5 months someone here posted about some strange side-effects from Vioxx and thought they might be having an interaction problem with their depression meds. I'm wondering if that's whats happening to me. I'm BiPolar II and taking Neurontin (900mgs), Zyprexa (2.5mgs) and Ambien (10mgs).
Does anyone have any experience or info about Vioxx or possibly remember the post that was left here about it? I've done some Net searches but haven't found any info on effect on sleep patterns. This is leading me to believe that it might be an interaction problem.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Greg
