I've been prescribed Indomethacin 75mg ER Capsules for my arthritis, but I'm really worried about the side effects. Has anyone else had bad experiences with this drug? I've read about some pretty scary potential issues like kidney problems, high blood pressure, and even severe skin reactions. I know it's supposed to be taken once a day, which is convenient, but I'm not sure if the benefits outweigh the risks. Has anyone found a good strategy for managing the side effects? Or maybe there's a better alternative out there? I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with this medication.

Has anyone had issues with weird vision changes? I've read that can be a side effect but it was glossed over in the side effects list.

I had no idea this drug could cause respiratory issues. That's a big deal for me since I have asthma. I'll talk to my doctor about this right away.

I've used Indomethacin for years and it's been a lifesaver for my arthritis. Just make sure to stay vigilant about side effects and talk to your doctor regularly. It's all about balance and finding what works best for you.

I've been taking Indomethacin for a few months now and I haven't had any major issues. Just a bit of dizziness sometimes, but it's manageable. I take it at night so I sleep through most of it. I think it's worth the trade-off for the relief it provides.

I started feeling flu-like symptoms and was so worried. Turns out it was just a side effect. I've also had some ringing in the ears, which I've read is rare. It's a bit disconcerting, but my doctor says it's just a side effect of the drug and should go away when I stop taking it. I'm not sure I want to go through with it if this keeps up.

Just a heads-up, make sure to read the list of side effects carefully. Some of them can be really serious, so it's important to be informed. If you notice anything weird, even if it's not on the list, don't hesitate to call your doctor.
