Hi Ginny
Yes, celebex is by prescription.I think it is fairly new (and expensive)
I know people who can't take aspirin and other nonsteroidal
antiinflammatories can take celebrex. I don't know if it would work for
your problem though.
Some people think Ultram is the greatest, others don't like it. I think
levbid is for bowel spasms, but I'm not sure. Don't they sometimes give
that to people with IBS and the thinking is now that it is a disorder of
the motility of the bowel so that it goes into irregular spasms and do
not function properly.
