Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Indocin sorted by most helpful.
I'm 47 yrs old and this is my first bout with gout. At first I thought I was having a Charley Horse in my foot until I realized it wouldn't go and I couldn't walk. The listed side effects had me scared to take this med. However it worked in just a few hours and I have noticed weight loss since taking it.
This drug relieves the painful onset of Gout, however for me it feels like taking chemo, I get nausia, diahrea, and a real funky feeling inside. That lasts for about 6 hours. BUT the pain is greatly reduced. Tough tradeoff sort of, although the pain is intolerable.
gout
relief from pain and some swelling. First time with gout.
Severe gout in the ankle but this cleared it up in 3 hrs also taken vidocin generic hydrocodin.Keep some spare for next attack !
HAS ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED WATER RETENTION WHILE TAKING THIS DRUG?
I have hip, knee and lower back pain, which this medication has helped more than anything else. I have been on it for four months, so far no side effects.
It will knock the glout out in a few days
Acid reflux is increased and some jitteriness and weird feeling. I got the prescription the 3rd day of the attack and it helped immediately although the attack was on the decline at the time. I will carry this with me at all times.
Since taking this medication, my blood pressure has increased from 125/72 to 160/100. I do not see this under the listed side effects. Has anyone else experienced the something?
Started taking 25mg 3 X day on Friday, today is Tuesday & no relief as of yet? Going to speak to my Dr soon if condition doesn't improve. None of the side effects others reported, but my big toe still hurts!
had severe ankle gout, after taking this med. te pain was gone in 3hrs
jI had a sciatic nerve attack, causing EXTREME pain,to the point I couldn't get out of bed. I went to hospital,they gave me 3 shots of morphine,which had no effect on the pain.They wrote an Rx for Indomethacin,which easily re- lieved almost all the pain for 10 hours. I should add I tried Ibuprofen and Naproxin 1st, neither had any effect at all.For the next 2 weeks of my Sciatica episode,the Indocin faithfully relieved my pain every time.This was severe pain that 3 doses of Morphine had no effect on! There are many side effects listed in my drug book for Indocin,but I had none whatsoever.It had a very "clean" effect, less side effects than Ibuprofen.This may not be true if you use it for months,though.But for short term use,you cant beat it.It easily out-performs the strongest narcotics! I can definitely recommend it!Was a Godsend for me!

I took the indomethacin (50mg) a few weeks ago for a painful knee. It worked great. I had a flare-up with my knee today and took a pill this morning (w/ food) and had a bad reaction. I got very nauseous and dizzy. It felt as though I was having a panic attack. I recommend you take your first dose of this drug at nighttime (as I did a few weeks ago) to see how you tolerate it.
