| 1 | dental implant pain and swelling | Hot swollen face, hot all over (didn't check for fever but thought I was beginning menopause hot flashes it was so bad), a flat pink dotted rash on torso, chest, back, thighs, arms. My rims of eyes are also swollen and itchy. For those of you experiencing severe reaction especially blistering skin, affected genitalia, mouth, etc. Please check out "Steven Johnson Syndrome!"

Soon after I noticed a general feeling of being "loopy" and not myself. Then when people asked me things I would struggle to put full responses/sentences together. My sense of balance was slightly off and I was nervous. Last symptom took place about 10 minutes after my nervousness set in I began shaking like I had the chills but did not really feel all that cold. A general feeling of being tired and drowsy followed. | Had to be driven home by co-workers. Very embarrassing and unfortunate. Not taking this stuff again.

Had huge red bumps all over my body became very weak and felt like I was going to pass out which I avoided by laying down on the floor was still very weak and shaky the next morning... I recommended that this medicine be given to the people who are making it and let them find out for themselves... | Had me with nothing but boxers on being itched from head to toe by two people thought I had taken a shower in fleas. This drug should be used to combat terrorists | M | 48 | 1 days i pill 1X day | 4/7/2015 | 1 | Backpain | I took it for back pain 30 min later my heart rate was as if i was running yet i was sitting down in my work truck my hands feet and body became uncomfortably hot and itchy so i got out of truck to see if the air and drinking my water would do me good after which i almost fainted 4 times experienced blurred vision and weakness i almost nearly collapsed before i called co workers to come help me at my location I thought i was going to die this morning by myself in a parking lot waiting for calls in my tow truck i will never take ALEVE again ever...... | M | 30 | 1 days 1 pill | 3/31/2015 | 1 | muscle pain | pain/swelling in hands, forearms and pads of feet. Bottom of feet feel numb. | Used it a few months back for muscle pain, but started to experience numbness in hands/feet. I couldn't feel my feet on the floor when I got out of bed in the morning. Thought it was related to muscle pain issues. Doctors ran tests, but were negative. He thought issues were viral, so I stopped taking Aleve and issues improved, which made me think doctor was correct about virus. Took one (1 ) 220mg Aleve yesterday for 1st time in months for muscle ache and now have hand and feet numbness. Hypothenar muscles on both hands are really sore. Strange buzzing feeling in my body. Will never use Aleve again. | F | 54 | 1 days 220mg 1X day | 3/27/2015 | 1 | headache | Took 2 pills and was fine until about 2 hours later,when I started itching in my genital area and leg. As I was driving I was sneezing uncontroloable and felt my face swelling up. I was having difficulty breathing. I drove immediately to the ER. By that time,(about 15 mins), My whole body had swelled up,I was red and purple and tongue was swollen,airway starting to close. Had I driven home first I may not have made it.Injected with epi pen,IV benedryl and steroids. now I have to carry an epi pen at all times. I know I have taken Aleve before and never had a reaction, but this time I did. | This is a dangerous drug. People should be aware of just how bad it is. They may have taken it before with no problem but it could cause a reaction at any time. Why is it still on the market?!!! | M | 26 | 1 days 1X day | 3/23/2015 | 1 | Back pain | 12 hours after taking had hives all Over stomach. Woke up with itchy hands. By 3 in afternoon had two badly swollen hands and upper lip was badly swollen. Later that evening feet got real bad and forearms got bad. Has been 36 hours and the itching in bearable. Went to doctor and was given steroid pills. Drank 80 ounces of water and took 3 pills so far no change. The swelling on the back of my hands is amazing, so bad skin breaking and bleeding. | This is a bad drug for me that is for sure. I wish I knew about all these issues before I took this drug. | M | 55 | 1 days 2 gel tabs | 2/24/2015 | 1 | Headache | Genitals and feet began burning and itching. Began to have trouble breathing and went into anaphylactic shock. Passed out before paramedics arrived. Blood pressure could not be measured. Thanks to their efforts I survived trip to hospital. After several hours and many injections was allowed to go home. I am not allergic to any other insaid. | This is a dangerous drug and should not be over the counter. | F | 44 | 1 days 1 | 2/21/2015 | 5 | backache | None | F | 67 | 2 days three pill | 2/13/2015 | 1 | arthritis | I have taken Aleve on and off for the last 3 years. Never more the 3 days at a time. I was having sore lips and blisters inside my mouth and did not connect te dots. Thought it was from the dust during renovations. I took my Aleve last night (the first time in 6 months). This morning the inside of my lips are peeling, I have blisters on my gums a itching in my throat and blurred vision. I will rest up today but will never take this product again. It worked for the pain but the side effects are awful. | M | 69 | 1 days 220mg 2X day | 2/12/2015 | 1 | Cramps | Dizziness, blurred vision into almost not being able to see anything, hearing loss then ringing in ears. I was also extremely weak and shaking. It made my cramps ten times worse as well. | Do not use, is not a good drug whatsoever | F | 18 | 1 days | 2/3/2015 | 1 | Headache | I took 2 Aleve PM for the 2nd time in my life. Within 10 minutes I experienced severe itching, then my body became very warm, then I felt all energy leave my body. I made it to my bedroom and laid on the floor for about 45 min and had shallow breathing, also felt that I could not move. I got up into my bed, slept the night but was totally drained the next day. I thought I was going to die. I probably should have sought medical help, Its 3 days since that happened and I am OK now. | I think it should be taken off the shelves | F | 69 | 1 days 1X day | 1/15/2015 | 4 | Severepain Ear Pain, Pierced Cartil | No side effects | It didn't last 12 hours as it says, but a good 5 hours or so... it took maybe 1 hr to kick in. When I took 2 pills, 440mg total, it worked. I felt no burning/stabbing sensation. It wore out after 5-6 hrs... so then I took another one, "max dose of 3 pills 660mg (NSAID) in 24 hrs". Its been 18 hours since, and I will be taking a second dosage of 2 pills before the 24 hrs, 1100mg. (I would not recommend it but if your body can take this stuff like mine can, 1600mg is the max before you get long term kidney problems. Yay 1100mg. No pain. | F | 20 | 1 days 660 | 1/9/2015 | 1 | headache | Thought i had an std, lips swollen, bruising on my thumb, swollen genitals, all caused by an allergic reaction!!! I will never take this again. I will suffer through the headaches, this is so much worse!!! | F | 36 | 1 days 500 mg | 1/7/2015 | 1 | Headache | Throat started swelling shut couldn't breath Started passing out Ended up admitted into Hospital over night | Would never consider taking it again although I had taken it before this happened I never took over 1 OTC pill very dangerous | F | 58 | 1 days OTC 1 pill | 1/7/2015 | 1 | Arthritis | I was taking a leave for the arthritis in my knees and it did help with the pain however in the last year to six months I've noticed a lot of swelling in my legs and ankles. I attributed to the fact that I was overweight and some days it would be worse than others. However, these last few months the swelling in my ankles and legs has been horrible. Over the holiday I got the flu and I stopped taking it for a several days and suddenly my legs and ankles are back to normal again I have no Adema also my blood pressure went up a little bit last couple months it is now again back to normal I developed an allergic reaction to it I suggest that you look at the bottle and look at the side effects carefully because I am definitely happier without it now | You can develop an allergic reaction to his product overtime be careful | F | 58 | 1 years 2 per day | 12/28/2014 | 1 | fever | Genital itching, swelling on lips and red rashes on forhead, cheeks and nostrils. | F | 35 | 1 times 150 | 12/27/2014 | 5 | Headaches | None | I call it my magic pill because it gets rid of my headaches quickly. I can actually feel when my headache is escaping! Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, my body treats them like skittles...no relief. So thankful for Aleve. | F | 32 | 5 years | 12/23/2014 |
