I was taking Celebrex for a momth or so when I started noticing my hands shaking. It got to the point where it was hard to hold a book steady enough to read.  
Has anyone else noticed this or heard of it happening to others?  
I stopped taking it and it’s better but I still have minor tremors.  
Thanks in advance for any in-put.

I’ve never heard of Celebrex,(not a drug used here down-under) can you tell us the generic name, or the pharmacological name?

Then I’ll have a look and see what we can dig up! 🙂

Celebrex is celecoxid. I’ve looked it up on the web, but I’m wary of info that’s mixed with a commercial for the product.  
I was taking it for an arthritic knee and it seemed to work wonderfully well for a while, until the tremors began.  
Thanks for trying.
