Scared me | 1 days | 10/27/2017 | 1 | back pain | 5 minutes after taking aleve my lips started tingling, and began showing signs of allergic reaction. Skin is extremely itchy and hives appeared after a few hours. Lips swell and sores form in mouth. | This has happened twice now, and until the second time, I didn't know it was the Aleve. | M | 33 | 1 days 220 1X day | 11/4/2017 | 1 | Headache | About 5 years ago I would randomly get a swollen pallet, lips and tongue. The swelling would then turn into blisters which would open after about 24-48 hours and become excruciatingly painful. Tried numerous remedies and went to the doctor and was given Valtrex which didn't do anything. I noticed that the last 2 times the outbreak happened I had taken Aleve. I stayed away from it for 2 years and didn't have another breakout. I accidentally grabbed a generic brand of Aleve from the store thinking it was advil, took 3 pills for a headache. Within 20 mins my lips started tingling which was always the 1st sign of the breakout. I checked the bottle I had bought and low and behold I had accidentally grabbed the generic brand of Aleve. Fml. After numerous dr visits and painful outbreaks I was finally certain that Aleve had been causing me all this pain. I am not sure of this is a side effect of the medication or itlf it's an allergy, I am certain though that I will never take Aleve again. | F | 32 | 1 days 100 mg | 4/10/2018 | 1 | Headache | I had a serious side effect. 20 minutes after taking Aleve I felt my eyes feeling strange.
