A member asked:

I've been taking meloxicam for about 8 weeks and for the past 2 weeks i've been feeling light headed and nauseous, why now?

Med side effects: Meloxicam side effects include GI irritation such as ulcers and also dizziness. The longer you take the med, the more likely you are to have side effects. Stop it and contact your doctor.

Meloxicam: Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and can cause stomach upset, nausea ....Less commonly, it can cause dizziness, faintness, or lightheadedness when getting up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. I recommend you discuss your symptoms with the prescribing doctor. Reducing the dosage might help.
