So, if you read my other post about the horrible reaction I had from Methylprednisolone, this will make more sense.

So, I just got prescribed Relafen and, understandably, I am still a bit nervous about taking it, even though I started them about 4 days ago.

I have been told it is an anti-inflammatory and am trying to do some of my own research.

One thing that I am noticing.....nervousness. I am shaking like I have had WAY too much coffee or something. It is a major annoyance as just typing this post I have to keep fixing my spelling mistakes due to hitting the wrong keys cuz I am shaking.

Anyways, Has anyone been on Relafen? Have you had any other reactions I should look out for?

Thanks,
BJ

Hi

I do take Relafin twice a day. I have never had the experiences you mentioned. I do know that I need to take it with food or it upsets my stomach. There are so many NSAIDS out there that I think you should talk with your doctor about the symptoms you are having and see if another one might be more appropriate.

Thanks, Cloudyday! I have spoken with my Dr. and he just told me that it is part of the "normal" symptoms associated with it. I just wanted to see if anyone, other than a Dr. telling me, had any other experiences as sometimes the Dr.s don't tell you everything....ya know?!

I, too, have noticed that I need to take it with food!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
