I've been taking Etodolac 200mg for my osteoarthritis, and the pain relief has been great. However, I've had some side effects that are pretty concerning. I've read the list and it seems like the side effects can be serious, but I want to know if anyone else has had similar experiences. I've been dealing with some severe headaches and dizziness, which I believe are symptoms of high blood pressure. I got it checked and my BP is normal. But, I want to confirm if this is not some other underlying issue. I've also noticed some minor kidney issues and I'm not really sure how to tackle it. Should I worry about it? Additionally, I've seen some comments about rashes and I want to know if anyone has had this. I don't want to stop taking the medicine, but these side effects are worrying me. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or have any advice for managing these issues?

I had some minor stomach issues, but nothing that kept me from taking it. My doctor advised me to take it before bed and it helps with the stomach pain. It's been a lifesaver for my arthritis pain.

I had really bad headaches and dizziness with Etodolac. It turned out I was also getting high blood pressure. I switched to a different NSAID and it's been much better.

I've been on Etodolac for a few months now and haven't had any major issues. Just some occasional stomach upset, but nothing too bad. Might be worth checking in with your doctor to see if they can adjust your dose or switch you to something else to see if you have a better reaction.

I've been on Etodolac for a while and haven't had any major issues, just some fatigue. I tend to get more tired with my arthritis, and I need a lot of rest because of it. But, I don't think it’s the Etodolac causing it. Has anyone else had fatigue issues?
