A member asked:
Why is it when i take celebrex im so tired for a couple of hrs? wondered if i should just take advil instead, whats in it thats doing that?

Unusual: Fatigue or weakness is a most unusual side effect of celebrex in my experience. It is an anti-inflammatory that is more gentle on your stomach than other anti-inflammatory medications. You could try taking Advil or Aleve with food to see if you tolerate them better.
