| 1 | Headache | My 18 year old daughter just got back from Urgent Care after suffering from an alergic reaction. No other allergies to food, medicine, animals, etc. She suffered severe swollen lips and eyes and numb hands and feet. Aleve will never be in my home. Ladies, be careful, another website reported Naproxen can be found in Midol Extended relief and Pamprin Maximum Strength. | F | 18 | 1 days | 12/1/2009 | 1 | Headache | After about fifteen minutes of taking the drug I started developing terrible hives all over my body. My head swelled up to the point that I couldn't even recognize myself in the mirror and the itching and heat drove me crazy. It was a really horrible experience and lasted for about 24 hours. It left me feeling completely exhausted. I have suffered from hives in the past but nothing like this. I do also suffer from asthma but luckily it did not effect my breathing. | F | 37 | 1 days | 10/1/2009 | 1 | Migraine | Within minutes of taking Aleve my the skin around my eyes begun to burn and itch, within 5 minutes my eyes begun to swell shut. I immediatly took benadryl, and the itiching subsided. It is two days later and my eyes are still very puffy and itchy with hives. I am not sure what the after life is with the drug but I am hoping that my symptoms disapper soon. | M | 40 | 1 days | 10/16/2009 | 1 | back problems | 10-15 minutes after taking aleve, my hands and feet swelled up and were beet red and extremely itchy, they also felt like they had sustained third degree burns. a few minutes later my tongue swelled and my airway started to close. i felt very dizzy. also had severe stomach cramps. took two benadryl and called my dr. did a five day prednisone treatment, but was still itchy and uncomfortable at the end of the five days. it has been two weeks now and still get burning, itchy feeling after eating anything. my body is totally sensitized to everything. awful medicine. | F | 65 | 1 days | 10/13/2009 | 1 | aches and pains in morn. | Hands started itching severly, then all over,with a rash, ears felt full, and back of head felt thick....went away over time. | this is the second time this happened, the 1st I was not aware of what it was. | F | 68 | 1 days | 4/8/2005 | 1 | joint pain | hives, blisters inside mouth, swollen eyelids to the point that my eyes would not open. large red splotches on backs of legs and chest. lips so swollen that i can hardly talk. | F | 61 | 1 days | 8/14/2004 | 1 | Leg and back pain | swollen eyes,lips and hands,severe hives and itching,dizziness, chest pains,slightly swollen throat | My husband took 1 Aleve 2 days ago because the small store he went to was out of Excedrin and this morning he was on the verge of passing out. His hands and eyes are still swollen and he's still itching. He was awake all night scratching. Hives are still coming and going. He has been taking Benadryl since about 5 hours after he took the Aleve. Today he's going to the doctor. Judging by the comments I've read and my husband's experience, this stuff should be taken off the market. I'm telling everyone I know and everyone who walks into our store how dangerous Aleve is. Back to Execedrin--it works with no ill effects. | M | 54 | 1 days | 10/10/2008 | 1 | hip pain | Serious rash all over my back and legs! Neck and back pain. Pain is shooting down my left arm and right leg. Feels like I have bugs crawling all over my body, and it itches!!! What should I do? | M | 38 | 1 days | 1/6/2008 | 1 | headache | headache pain was relieved within one hour, but later on my heart rate seemed very abnormal. I was experiencing shortness of breath, anxiety and stomach pain and could barely sleep because of the breathing restriction. I have taken this before and never been affected this way, but now I know I will NEVER take it again and stick to ibuprofen for a headache. | F | 22 | 1 days | 9/8/2007 | 1 | Headache | body felt so strange, itchy tingling feeling all over my body, my hands extremely itchy, moving up my arms and all over torso and around neck and head. I remember this happening before but didnt realize what it was - i thought i was gettng the flu or something - it was at night, but when I took this this morning all those symptoms came back and I thought it must be the Aleve -i must be seriously allergic to this... thats what brought me to this site | Help - how do I get rid of this itching :-( | F | 47 | 1 days | 10/19/2007 | 1 | Leg pain | Took 2 Aleve at 9:15 pm and went to bed around 11:00, awoke around 2:30 am with itching on my hips and it then went to my feet and went to my scalp. It got my hands last and I broke out in hives. It felt like my skin was peeling off, it was burning and stinging as well as itching. I took Benadyl and placed cold wash rags on my ankles and legs. This happened once before after taking Aleve for leg pain. I have taken Aleve and not had any problems. But I am positive now this was Aleve that caused my rash. | M | 48 | 1 days | 11/19/2007 | 1 | headache | massive headache, tightness in chest similar to panic attack, vomiting | M | 49 | 1 days | 12/21/2007 | 1 | Carpel tunnel syndrome | Took 1 Aleve about 2 weeks ago and had a severe allergic reaction within about an hour. Broke out in a rash all over my body, severe itching on palms of hands and soles of feet. Went to ER and was treated with Benadryl and Prednisone. Did not connect it with the Aleve and was told it was some type contact dermatitis. This morning took 1 Aleve again, and within 30 minutes had the same allergis reaction: severe itching of palms of hands, scalp, general overall itching and rash. Immediately took 2 Benadryl and itching has subsided, although some swelling is still present 5 hours later. Only common element to the 2 incidents was the Aleve. Not allergic to any other meds or foods other than Penicilin. | F | 49 | 1 days | 6/26/2007 | 1 | joint pain | I had taken aleve before without issue. Two days ago I took two aleve. Within 30 minutes, my stomach twinged and I had two full B.M.'s. At that time, I began turning red and swell all over. Every part of me itched. Even my face felt like it was on fire. My throat was dry and chest was hurting. I felt faint. Rescue squad administered Benadryl and one other medication and started a 1000 cc drip. BP was 85/55 after the initial first aid. Hospital administered prednisone and vitals were monitored for several hours. I was released with BP 104/55, which is considerably low for me. Within 24 hours, I had a slight relapse and ended up back in the emergency room. Although the ER termed this severe allergic reaction, my symptoms were identical to a case of anaphylactic shock I had a dozen years ago following a bee sting. | This drug needs to be removed from the market and the manufacturer held accountable. | F | 56 | 1 days | 8/21/2007 | 1 | arthritis in hand | I am healthy female and took Aleve for mild arthritis in the right hand. I took one Aleve and within 15 mins. the palms of my hand started burning and itching severely. Within minutes it started on the bottom of my feet and hives started covering my body. It was horrible and scary! I took benadryl and it took about a hour for the effects to subside. I threw the bottle away and would "never" take it again. | F | 54 | 1 days | 6/29/2007 | 1 | head/neck/back pain | I took Aleve before going to bed; woke up 2 hours later from severe itching on the soles of my feet/palms of my hands. The itching progressed to all my joints (wrists/ankles/elbows/knees/shoulders) and I developed hives & some tiny, fluid-filled blisters on my soles/palms. Took Benedryl; after a few hours, the itching subsided. | I had this same kind of bizarre, severe itching only one other time - the last time I took Aleve. Now that I know the symptoms are connected, I'm scratching this off my list of OTC pain relievers. | F | 36 | 1 days | 5/1/2007 | 1 | knee pain | This drug should be OFF the market!! I experienced massive hives, red - itchy skin, swelling all over, rapid heart rate, rapid shallow breathing, nausea, feeling faint, loose bowels, tingling feeling all over, burning sensation on hands and feet - to name a few. These symptons lasted 7 days and required 3 trips to the ER and 2 to the family doctor! Benadryl, epinephrine, steriods, atarax, and zantac all used to reduce symptoms. | I have taken ONLY ONE ALEVE! I have also taken Naproxen in the past (Not Aleve) with no problems.....I will NEVER take this CRAZY drug AGAIN!!!!! Don't risk it....it's not worth it!!!Don't let me be the one to tell you.."I told you so!" | M | 43 | 1 days | 9/13/2007 | 1 | pain | severe anaphylaxis, ER treatment and overnight hospitalization | Only took 1 aleve, had taken 2 the week before so no anticipation of the reaction | F | 49 | 1 days | 2/6/2009 | 1 | Anti Inflamitory | This drug sucks. I had what most describe here. It's actually called FIXED DRUG ERUPTION, or FIXED DRUG SYNDROME. I've heard it called both. ITCHY hives return in the same place every time the drug is taken. If you are alergic to this drug, DO NOT TAKE NAPROXIN (perscription drug). It's the same thing. Welts all over the place that itch like nobody's business. | M | 31 | 1 days | 6/11/2008 | 1 | back pain | Oh my god!!!! What is going on? I dont know if should go t o the hspital or not.
