| 3 | stomach cramps | 12 hours after taking lower face and lips swoll to the size of sausages. I did not make the connection as I took it one time before and my lips slightly swelled to the point where it was so small that I did not notice. However, it did take care of the pain. | I will never take this med again. Naproxen sodium is definitely not my friend. Marketing/manufacturing really should consider not making this an OTC med. It can really harm you. | F | 25 | | 9/25/2006 | 3 | Fibro | Puffy eyes, feeling dehydrated. | F | 45 | | 1/14/2007 | 3 | back pain | Aleve seems to bring on migrain type aura...no head ache. Aura lasts for about 15 minutes and starts about 30 minutes to an hour after taking two Aleve pills. | M | 70 | | 9/9/2009 | 3 | M | 56 | | 2/3/2009 | 3 | arthritis | M | 58 | | 2/19/2008 | 2 | knee problems general aches | prescribed naprelean for knee problems I became angry - ranting and raving angry. Very much out of character for me I am typically a calm and extremely patient person. | did releive aches and pains took as needed over last 4 months | F | 38 | | 1/6/2009 | 2 | knee and hand pain | I also was on a diet and in one day i gained 2.6 lbs and I had severe itching where it kept me up at night. Also felt really bad.kept taking the aleve because it relieved the pain very well. then I realized it was the aleve causing the other problems. I had palpitations also and felt like I was going to die. | The Aleve actually worked well for the pain. | F | 51 | | 4/13/2008 | 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 | 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 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 | knee and leg pain | brought on tinninus and inner ear problems, which bring on balance and vertigo problems. | ear ringing went away when off aleve; came back when I tried aleve again for muscle pain. | F | 69 | 1X day | 4/12/2012 | 1 | back pain | sweating, tingeling in my feet and hands confused then passed out. will never take this EVER AGAIN | F | 42 | 2X AN | 12/26/2011 | 1 | Joint pain | I have been taking Aleve lately and spent a day outside in the sun, only to wake up with bumps all up and down my arms, neck and face. All the sun exposed areas. | My Dermatologist advised me to stop taking Aleve immediately. | F | 31 | 1X day | 2/29/2012 | 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 | 1 | hip pain | My step-son, on two seperate occassions experienced itchy feet, swollen face, especially lips and tongue and difficulty breathing. Two trips to the emergency room w/ benadryl and prednazone. Took some time to narrow down the culprit due to the fact that he has taken it on several occassions w/ no reaction that the doctors said there was nothing in Aleve to cause an allergic reaction. | This OTC is way too unpredictable to recommend or to have in your household medicine cabinet. | F | 35 | | 12/7/2006 | 1 | back & leg pain | Could not walk, talk, breath, numbness in legs. Chills, disoriented, nauseated, choking | My husband has taken Aleve a few times over the past year. He thought I was crazy to think it was causing a reaction. Today he came home so weak he could hardly walk, was unable to talk other than one word after my repeating myself several times. He was strugggling to swallow, which led to choking, and going through spells of seeming to hyperventilate....saying he could not get his breath. He said his legs were numb and that he could not move his right leg at all. I was thinking I'd better call 911 since there was no way I would be able to get him into the car. Then he would have a spell of breathing a little more calmly....but then it would start in again. He has had other weak spells that I thought might be attributable to Aleve, but this was very frightening. This lasted nearly 7 hours and even after that he still is not back to normal. He can move his legs now (but not well) and talk, he is still having trouble with his throat..swallowing and choking. I looked at your sit | M | 57 | | 2/2/2007 | 1 | Back Pain | At 1:30am I took Aleve w/ a full glass of water to help with muscle/back pain. Woke up about 10 minutes later and my whole body was sweating, then my hands, feet, lips, scalp all started to itch. By the time I work up the boyfriend, my face was swollen and bumps appeared on back and stomach. Then my breathing became restricted. After 2 hours all side effects subsided, did not go to doctor. Woke up the next morning with sore stomach and throat. Weird thing is that I have taken Aleve for years and never had a problem! I won't ever be taking it again after that scary reaction! | F | 23 | | 3/21/2007 | 1 | Back Pain | At 1:30am I took Aleve w/ a full glass of water to help with muscle/back pain.
