| 1 | Headache | After taking this I started to notice these bumps on my skin, that later turned into a full blown rash. | I wouldn't suggest taking this because the rash is almost unbearable. | F | 19 | 2 days | 8/9/2016 | 1 | lower back pain | A rash of dime to quarter size red blisters appeared on the soles of my feet and, later, on the palms of my hands. After sopping Aleve, the rash broke open and is slowly healing. | Any pharm company who knowingly markets a product this dangerous should be held legally accountable. | M | 51 | 15 days 2X day | 7/31/2016 | 1 | swelling of foot | Throat felt like a pill was stuck in my throat for an hour, the following hour or so my throat began to swell, dizziness, seeing speckles and spots, heart beating fast, heavy chest. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICINE. | F | 28 | 1 days 220 mg | 7/11/2016 | 1 | Pulled muscle pain | Omg - took one aleve- got a hot rush as if I had taken a bottle of niacin- then collapsed to the floor as if drunk - room spinning -sweating like crazy- heart pounding - skin bright red and swollen - exhausted on floor for 90 min unable to move- woulda called ambulance if I coulda have reached the phone!!!! Eventually the feeling subsided and I regained consciousness I will never take this drug again | M | 1 days 1 pill | 6/14/2016 | 1 | Shoulder pain after playing golf | I had an allergic reaction after taking alleve in early evening. My lips and face swelled up and I had itching in genital area. I took some Benedryl before I went to bed and it reduce the swelling, however when i woke up the swelling returned. I took 2 tablets and maybe that was too much. | People should be aware of the possible allergic reactions of this drug. | M | 56 | 1 days 2X day | 6/3/2016 | 1 | Knee pain | Took two tablets and within 30 minutes my hands and feet began to burn then my eyelids began to swell. I immediately went to get my husband for help. By the time I reached him everything started turning white. Luckily I was able to tell him what was happening before my throat started swelling and I passed out. He immediately called for an ambulance. By the time paramedics arrived my blood pressure and heart rate had dropped very low and my skin had turned bright red. I was lucky to get to the hospital and get stabilized in time. The doctors said if I had not gotten to the hospital when I did I would not have survived. I spent two days in the hospital recovering. Please do not take this medicine. It is not worth the risk! Also for the record, I am an extremely healthy person and take no other medications so this was not an adverse reaction to some other medicine. | Aleve needs to be taken off the market! | F | 54 | 1 days 2 tablets | 5/30/2016 | 1 | Pain following knee surgery | Within 20-25 minutes of taking 2 Aleve tablets for the first time my lower lip started to itch and swell, followed by itchy chin, then hacking cough. Couldn't swallow water. Whole body turned red and itchy with hives on face. Went straight to ER and was put on IV drip with Bendaryl and steroids. Thankfully I was in a bed with the IV drip within one hour of taking the tablets, or I fear this could have been much worse. | I have taken Naproxen previously in the UK with no side effects, and have had allergy tests done in the UK which all turned up negative. I suspect it is one of the added ingredients that may have caused the reaction. I'm surprised this drug is sold over-the-counter, it is very dangerous. | M | 54 | 1 days 220 MG 2X day | 4/25/2016 | 5 | back injury and general inflammatio | bothers my stomach if not taken with food | M | 66 | 15 years 2X W | 4/12/2016 | 1 | leg injury | I had a serious reaction which began with feeling weak,then hives all over my body, extreme swelling of the face,throat and hands.I could barely breath. My husband called an ambulance. They immediately put benadryl IV in each arm and got me to the hospital.I lived thru it but know of someone else that died before the ambulance got there.Very dangerous drug and needs to be taken off the market | F | 50 | 1 days 30mg | 3/28/2016 | 1 | Joint pain | Within an hour of taking 2 aleve 200mg tablets my hands started itching extremely. Within a few minutes of my hands my feet and ankles began to itch too. Then I was breaking out in hives and itching on my legs lower stomach and armpit area. My wife googled Aleve reactions and got this website and saw that many people had these same reactions to Aleve that I was having. It was late at night and my wife didn't want to leave me in case my reaction turned severe so our son-in-law who lives down the street from us ran to get benedryl and I took it about an hour ago and the itching seems to be subsiding. | I know without a doubt it was the Aleve that caused this reaction. Although I had taken Aleve several other times in my life without a reaction I will never take this drug again. And in seeing how many people had reactions to this drug just through this website it shouldn't even be available to anyone, especially over the counter. | M | 56 | 1 days 200mg 1X day | 3/27/2016 | 1 | Back pain | Full body rash- extreme belching- thought i was going to die!!! Writing this in the hospital room the next day- btw took it many times before with no problem NEVER again- beware- read reviews - people HAVE died!!!! | M | 63 | 1 days 1 pill | 2/28/2016 | 1 | Lower back pain | Chest pain, bloating, indigestion, burning sensation and cramping in stomach, nausea, heartburn. | Took only one tablet three days ago and still suffering from these symptoms. Aleve should have skull and crossbones as their logo, as it is poison! | F | 65 | 1 days 220mg | 2/26/2016 | 1 | Joint knee pain | Nausea, fainted, seizure | After 15 minutes of taking I felt nauseous then I passed out I woke up confused and husband told me I had just had a seizure, I had a cut on my chin and a black eye from the fall! | F | 37 | 1 days 220 mg | 2/25/2016 | 3 | Back pain | Extreme itching-started on palms of hands then bottom of feet then entire head and body. | F | 49 | 1 days 1 tablet | 1/30/2016 | 3 | Shoulder pain | It gave me nightmares, | F | 39 | 1 days 200mg 1X day | 12/2/2015 | 1 | Arthritis | I took every 12 need it not to keep it in my system.

I felt like my heart was not getting signal to speed up. Most the time it was hard to find a pulse. | Never take more than 10 days like bottle says. If you feel numbness or shortness of breath. Put lid on time and dump in the trash. Took me along time to figure it out because it done so well with service pain. | 48 | 5 years 60 mg | 12/1/2015 | 1 | Severe Headache | Had awful headache.
