I was prescribed Diclofenac Sodium 25mg DR Tablets for my arthritis, and I've had a mix of experiences. The delayed-release tablets have definitely helped with pain and inflammation, but I've also noticed some side effects that I'm not sure are worth it. I've read about the potential side effects but didn't expect to encounter many severe ones. Has anyone else had similar experiences, and what did your doctor recommend? How do you manage the side effects, especially the severe ones? Should I consider switching to another NSAID?

I was surprised by how well these tablets worked for my inflammation. I didn't experience any severe side effects, but I did have some mild headaches and dizziness. Definitely worth it for me.

I’ve had some mild side effects like heartburn and gas, but nothing too bad. I make sure to take them with plenty of water and it seems to help. Also I make sure to eat something before taking it.

I was scared when I saw the list of side effects, and rightfully so. I experienced severe fatigue and dizziness. I switched to another NSAID and feel much better.

I've been on these tablets for a while now, and I've had some stomach issues. I know the side effects can be bad, but I didn't think it'd be this bad

I’ve had some stomach pain and nausea, but nothing too bad. I take them with food and it helps a lot. Has anyone tried a different NSAID and had better luck?

These tablets are a lifesaver for my arthritis. The side effects are manageable for me. I've been on them for years and no severe side effects so far. But I definitely understand the concern.
