Does Taking Celebrex Cause Side Effects While Quitting Smoking?
Hello :) I am on Celebrex to help with inflamation and pain in my knees. I have not had any side effects until the last few days I have felt very light headed and feel anxious like I ma going to faint. Does the Celebrex and quitting smoking have anything to do with this?
