Comments on: A celebrated $32 million Vioxx case… https://www.overlawyered.com/2011/09/a-celebrated-32-million-vioxx-case/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Mon, 26 Sep 2011 04:32:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: William Aldrich https://www.overlawyered.com/2011/09/a-celebrated-32-million-vioxx-case/comment-page-1/#comment-126460 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 04:32:02 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=24420#comment-126460 I used Vioxx for 18 months (May 2000 through December 2001). Within the first few months I experienced dizziness. After that I developed visual migraines. In June 2001 I had a TIA while biking down a hill in N. Andover. Another TIA occurred a few days after 9/11/01. Only then did my PCP schedule me for a visit with a neurologist. Four weeks later in October, I had another TIA. I had been taking Indocin for thirty years without a problem. My PCP first tried Celebrex but that upset my stomach “big time.” Vioxx appeared more benigh but was a silent threat. If I stop taking Aggrenox for more than five days, I get a stroke. Merck knew before it released Vioxx that it was a threat to the CV system. You were lucky; 100,000 other people weren’t.

It is a national disgrace and tragedy that the corrupt Lawyer Industry forced Vioxx’s removal from the market.
