Why we can't take NSAIDS

Oh yeah, I drank one without noticing or thinking it even had caffeine in it, and it was like crack cocaine, I was all jacked up.  I guess not having any caffeine for 5 weeks is what made it so amped.

Kelly, if you every have time and the inclination to do so, can you post the difference between a COX-2 Inhibitor (such as Celebrex) and an NSAID?  I know that COX-2 Inhibitors are in the NSAID family.  I have read some articles that say to treat them just like an NSAID and others that say they are a BIT safer than NSAIDS, although still not great for RNY patients.  But I know there are many of us that were on Celebrex pre op and I wonder how much different the two types of meds really are (if at all).

I have heard the same things as you but I am not clear on it.  A pharmacist might be a good person to ask.  Or maybe someone else here knows?
