Comments

I have had RSD following hand surgery for 3 years. I have been taking 20mg/day of Bextra in conjunction with Trileptal for the last 8 months. The Bextra gives some relief, although the majority of the relief appears to come from the Trileptal. I have not noticed any adverse side effects as yet. One positive side effect of a daily dosage of Bextra has been a drastic reduction in tension and migraine headaches. Thomas - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA
