| 1 | Flu symptoms/joint pain due to Lupu | Upset stomach and acid reflux/heartburn BADLY,constipation, gas, stomach pain | Doesn't help and I am taking more Prevacid than recommended since I started taking Mortin. Don't waste your money. | F | 44 | 30 days | 3/30/2006 | 1 | Herniated disk | none | This medicine is a joke. I was given this to reduce inflammation after I herniated a disk in my back. I was perscribed 800mg every 6 hours. It was like candy and did nothing for me. | F | 22 | 14 days | 12/16/2004 | 1 | Fibromyalgia | Did not help at all. Gained 5 pounds in 3 days, constipation and anger. | F | 53 | 3 days | 8/14/2004 | 2 | Carpal tunnel | Never worked at the non prescription 400mg to help with my carpal tunnel syndrome. So I started taking 800mg and it helped but not very much. After a while of taking it my stomach would get upset and I would get worse acid reflux so I desided that since it barely worked that I would only take it when my wrists hurt too bad to do things like chopping veggies and brushing my teeth. | M | 15 | 10 days 400 to 800 | 6/28/2014 | 2 | joint pain from old sports injury | I've taken Motrin in the past and don't remember any problems. But this time around, I had nightmares so vivid that I forced myself awake and had a slight anxiety attack. The worst part is that the pain is now back. I won't be taking this again. | F | 24 | 1 days 600 | 6/12/2013 | 2 | Rheumatoid arthritis & Fibromyalgia | Water retention in my legs that was so severe that when I elevated them to alleviate the swelling...the water pooled around my heart and landed me in the ER with arrhythmia and sky high BP! This happened to me several times before I realized that the cause of my edema was NOT any of my health conditions but rather was caused by my pain medication. Thankfully I finally made the connection and have had ZERO edema since stopping the motrin. I am currently relying on hot baths, Traumeel and the occasional Tylenol to manage my pain. | While this medication is, without a doubt, one of the best I have found for pain it also comes with a large kidney insult as a price tag. I won't ever take it again. | F | 47 | 3 years 400-800MG 3X W | 3/25/2012 | 2 | back/neck pain | I had an increase in gas/bloating, hemorrhoid pain, and bruising. I've had bouts of vertigo, ringing in the ears, and nausea. | F | 48 | 10 days | 8/11/2009 | 2 | Severe Lower Back Pain | Headache and stomach pains | I've been taking 800mg tablets and as the medicine starts wearing off I get a headache that doesn't go away untill I take another tablet. I also get occasional stomach pains that come really fast and go away really fast. It's odd. | F | 39 | 4 days | 6/8/2009 | 2 | Knee injury | the first day or two, just had the water retention, now severe vertigo which can't be attributed to anything else | F | 46 | 4 days | 4/13/2009 | 2 | plantar fasciitis | After two weeks of being on 800mg three times a day I became very bloated. I'm normally a size 6 and had to wear size 10. I was suppose to stay on it 3 X's a day for three weeks, however, I would rather deal with the pain than have stomach problems not to mention I wasn't sleeping well. | F | 48 | 2 weeks | 1/23/2009 | 2 | Injured Shoulder | Difficulty concentrating. Heavy head. Its as if I can feel my brain sloshing around inside my skull (seriously weird). | I can take one 200mg motrin, advil, or ibuprofin and be OK - it does work very well for headache, inflammation. If i take another that, or even the next, day, i get this feeling as tho i'm poisoned, can't think and generally feel bad. I don't know anyone else that gets this was motrin. | M | 39 | 2 days | 5/8/2006 | 2 | musculer-skeletal injury | gastritis, spasming, intense pain, constipation, | These side effects decreased dramatically after I stopped the Motrin. During this time, I went through several invesitgations trying to find the source of the gastrointestinal pain. All tests came back negative. Unfortuneately, these side effects were almost as bad as the pain I was taking the drug for. | F | 57 | 3 weeks | 1/28/2005 | 2 | headaches and arthritis | Terrible stomach pain and heart palpitations. | Works well for my husband and 2 kids, but ibuprofen makes me sick. I take Aleve instead, which they don't like, but it works great for me. | F | 47 | 3 times | 9/27/2004 | 3 | 1 days | 5/11/2016 | 3 | Period cramps | Depression, constant urination, feeling like I have a fever only at night, drowsy | The 600mg Motrin doesn't work that well.. So then I have to take two which adds up to 1200mg and that's a lot | F | 15 | 3 days 600mg | 4/8/2016 | 3 | wisdom tooth pain | Helped with pain and relax my body overall the first 2 days. Day 3 I started feeling disassociated with my surroundings and developed nausea. That night I experienced vivid dreams that eventually turned into full blown anxiety attacks. I was so scared to sleep I stayed up trembling the entire night until it was time for work the next morning. My tooth pain has returned but I'm too afraid to experience the psychological effects again. I'm shocked because I've taken motrin before and NEVER experienced anything like this before. | F | 23 | 3 days 800 | 5/11/2015 | 3 | pain | Leg cramps | F | 51 | 1 days 800 | 4/18/2013 | 3 | shoulder pain | I could not figure out why I had sudden water weight gain, to a shocking degree. I found this site here where others report the same issue. I will stop motrin today. It helped only slightly with pain management. | F | 35 | 3 days 600-800mg 1X day | 6/22/2012 | 3 | Level 2 to 3 Ankle sprain | Ringing in the ears, like when you put a sea shell over your ear. Very Vivid dreams, no panic attacks, but I'm susceptible to them. | Dr. doubted me when I told him about noise in ears. First time I've had the dreams, but don't generally take Motrin. Glad I found this site, today is the last day, will switch to Aspirin tomorrow. | M | 57 | 15 days 600mg 3X day | 10/24/2011 | 3 | Degenerative Disc Disease,Migraines | I developed severe GERD, with esophagitis | This was prescribed in a formula with 30mg of Codeine, It works good for me for moderate pain, but I developed severe gastric problems because of it that took 6 months of Prevacid and complete abstinence from Ibuprofen to heal. I now take it ocassionally (1-2/day, 2x per week) with Prevacid and have had no side effects. | M | 48 | 2 years 400 3X day | 8/30/2010 |
