| 1 | headache | Took 2 at 3am. Three hours later woke up with itchy palms. Many body parts including hands, neck, eyes etc swollen and itchy. Went to store for benadryl. Several hours later hands like balloons along with neck and face. Ears especially inner still not good. After reading on the internet found I an not alone. | M | 49 | 1 days 440 | 11/25/2012 | 4 | Inflammatory arthritis | Wheezing, tiredness, pain in upper left abdomen, gas I am supposed to take a large dose for 3 months, I hope it goes okay. It has worked well in the past when I occasionally used it for cramps, etc. | F | 24 | 2 weeks 500mg | 11/23/2012 | 2 | neck pain | My index finger twitching started 3 weeks ago. It twitched in lateral (side to side motion) and the frequency started to increase. I started quickly losing strength in my left hand as well. Then i started having other neurological events - burning, tingling and numbness in my feet and hands. I starting waking up in the middle of the night feeling like my whole body was buzzing. I had hurt my neck a few months ago and was thiking that my symptoms had something to do with it, but the timing was strange because it had been some time since the injury and I was suddenly having mounting issues that all began with the finger twitching. Earlier in the month, I had begun taking Aleve to deal with my neck pain because I was looking for something longer lasting than Advil. Then last week, for two days in a row, i forgot to take Aleve before going to work. By the end of the second night, my finger suddenly stopped twitching. I was flabbergasted. Then the other issues also improved. I thought ab | Aleve caused neurological problems for me over the two weeks i took it: Finger twitching, hand weakness, numbness, paresthesia in my hands and feet, and a sensation of body buzzing/tremor. | F | 34 | 2 tablets 1X day | 10/22/2012 | 4 | pulled muscle in lower back | Just tired | M | 42 | 1 days 1pill | 9/11/2012 | 1 | Menstrual Cramps | I had taken this several times and I felt that it was my magic pill. but today i took my second dose and within 10 minutes my lip and my right side of throat and inside my mouth felt tingly and almost like i had been bitten by a mosquito and the itchiness continued. I felt some strange sensations on the top of my head and my ears also felt strange. I am not sure if it was my anxiety that caused my heart to feel strange or if it was the medication. I have just taken 2 Benadryl capsules and I am hoping that they will reduce these symptons. I don't think I will take this product again- I feel sort of out of it too and I think that other times I had felt that before getting this serious reaction this time. | F | 32 | 220 2X day | 9/9/2012 | 1 | Back sprain | Took 2 caplets as an initial dose (as directed), then one more caplet later the same day (also as directed). Within 30 minutes of the second dose, my entire torso, right side and back broke out in a red rash, which over the course of the next day or so, spread to my upper arms and thighs, turning a purplish color. Today, I seem to be in an uncomfortable itchy-bumpy phase, but thankfully the main rash seems to be subsiding. | I am a fairly healthy 52-year old on a trouble-free daily aspirin regimen, and have never had an allergic reaction to any foods or medication. Overall, I'm not sure if this drug helped to relieve any of the back pain. I will never use it again. | F | 52 | 1 days 220mg 2X day | 9/6/2012 | 2 | Headache | Itchy palms and fingers after 15 minutes of taking.. Developed hives on my sides within 30 minutes of taking. | Got rid of my headache, but not worth the itching! | M | 31 | 1 times 1X day | 8/2/2012 | 1 | back pain | have taken aleve in the past with no problems. took 2 and broke out head to toe with hives and itching. shot of benadryl and was okay but did not associate it with the aleve. took 2 more a week later and this time reaction was worse. swollen throat, blood pressure dropped extremly low and dizziness, trempling along with the hives and itching. something has changed so be carefull with this. | M | 46 | 1 days 2 1X day | 7/9/2012 | 1 | Back and leg pain | Have taken aleve previously with no side effects that I noticed. Took 2 Aleve yesterday morning @ 9:30 and by noon I had hives that began in my feet and then moved all over my body during the course of the day and night. Did NOT associate with Aleve, thought maybe a spider had bitten me. I was also VERY anxious all day--maybe it was from being irritated by the itching but I think probably not. Am sure my blood pressure rose too. I work for a cardiology practice and one of my doctors gave me 1 Aleve before lunch which I took then looked at the bottle and saw hives is a side effect. Bingo! I knew at once this is the source of all the itching. Now 3 hours after that 1 Aleve, I'm itching all over again but not quite as severly as yesterday, probably because I took one not 2. I won't be taking this product again. | F | 64 | 1X day | 6/25/2012 | 1 | headache, fever, common cold | painful swollen eyelids | F | 14 | 1 days 2 1X day | 6/24/2012 | 2 | Pain in my back | Stomach pains, neck and shoulder pains, itchy arms and legs, rash, strong fatigue. It said children abvove 11 (ages 11+) could take aleve for painkillers. Dissatisfied | F | 12 | 1 days 50mh | 6/23/2012 | 1 | Not aspirin, not acetomenophin | Vomiting within 15 minutes, tingling across chest, light-headed, legs turned red, blisters boiled on both arms, massive itch attack in feet, then scalp. Scratched until my legs started bleeding. Duration 2 hours. Would have gone to ER but who has that kind of time. Aleve, meet bin. | I understand that it works for some people, but jeezzzzz. I now have 2-tone tinnitis and it won't go away. It started a week after my first Aleve. Coincidence? Maybe....... | M | 51 | 1 days 1X AN | 6/11/2012 | 1 | lower back pain | After two doses for back pain, began to experience severe stomach pain; fatigue, mild headache, lower abdominal pain, loss of appetite, bloating, trouble sleeping. Doc says allergic reaction to Aleve. Prescribed Protonix for probable stomach damage. | As I have a hx of stomach problems, I should have heeded the warning label. Suspected Aleve after 2 nd day, confirmed by MD. No more Aleve for me! | M | 65 | 2 days 30 mg 1X day | 5/25/2012 | 1 | My husband took one Aleve gel-cap. A severe allergic reaction set in almost immediately. The reaction was terrifying. I drove him to a hospital, where he passed out. His vitals were all at a dangerously low level. He has never had any allergic reaction to any over the counter or other medications. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PAIN KILLER TO ANYONE! | F | 68 | 1X day | 5/18/2012 | 3 | Tendinopathy | Various digestive issues, nausea, burning, diarreha | Even though it's OTC, very important to limit time on this drug. For my particular problem, efficacy wasn't all that great. Acetaminophen actually provided better pain relief. That drug of course has its problems as well. | M | 63 | 5 months 2x220 3X W | 5/15/2012 | 2 | shoulder pain | took aleve for shoulder pain, 4 in the morning, 3 @ lunch and then 4 in afternoon because shoulder was killin me, to night I have severe itching on legs and genital area, thought it was bed bugs,lice, ticks etc., but we wash our sheets every two days , itching moved all over then started looking at all the aleve I took, guess too much, hope this goes away soon! | M | 35 | 1 days 800 | 5/13/2012 | 2 | Sore muscles | Becoming dizzy in the mornings. I stop taking Aleve the dizzyness stops. Take it again, I am slightly dizzy through the day. | M | 60 | 6 months 440 1X day | 5/13/2012 | 1 | headache | Red spots that itched around my mouth and by my left eyebrow. swollen lips | Aleve relieved my headache but caused more severe problems for me. I will not take this again. | F | 45 | 1 days 1 1X day | 5/8/2012 | 2 | Pain in quadriceps and hip | I took one pill of aleve right before a track meet. I felt on cloud 9 after I took it, feeling no pain in my legs. I was literally jumping for joy. I did my events and still felt wonderful, despite the fact I was terrible in one event. About 5 hours after taking the aleve, which includes 2 hours of resting I felt a burning sensation in knees. My knees never even hurt, but for 15 minutes I felt excruciating pain in my knees. I was unable to stand or even bend my knees during the 15 minutes of pain. I will NEVER touch this medication ever again. Pushing through the original temporary pain in my quadriceps, pinch in my hip, shock in my feet, and sting in my ankles after jumping is better than the pain from this medication. | Aleve worked wonders on my friends who took the same dosage at the same time as me. I will never take it again. But, my friends will definitely use this medication again. | F | 14 | 1 days 220 MG 1X day | 5/7/2012 | 1 | pain from a fall | I had a bad fall and took aleve for the pain. I fell asleep and woke up about 20min later because I felt tingling on my hands and bottom of my feet. They were itching so bad and soon I broke out in a rash from head to feet. This lasted for about an hour till I had someone bring me Benadryl which took another 30-40minutes for it to relieve the itch. | F | 43 | 1 days 2X day | 5/1/2012 |
