NAPROXEN  (NAPROXEN):  See also Warning section. Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, muscle aches, tendonitis, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.   FDA Approval Date: 1993-12-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  osteo arthritus I was a bit dizzy when first starting, but, this passed in about a week. Works great -- I take 500mg twice a day. As a generic, it's about $10 per 100 at Costco -- one of the better drug deals in the US. M 49 1.5 years

 5  osteoarthritis took naproxen,500mg per day for many years with no side effects at all. I called them my "keep me going" pills.They were very effective... for releiving arthritis pain - although a new hip 8 yrs ago and a replacement knee 3 yrs ago helped somewhat..... Recent stomach pains were diagnosed as mild gastritis due to too much naproxen and cessation of the drug was recommended....now diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and on steroids ie prednisolone which is working well though only taking it for three weeks or so....still playing golf and bowls though - Thank God..... M 72

 4  Gout in my foot Its my first day on Naproxen, only taken two x 250mg with food as recomended. The second one I took after a few beers (not recommended)! PS I have duodenal ulcers and been taking lansoprazole for years to reduce stomach acid. The gout pain has almost gone completely even after only two doses. But driving today I was experiencing double vision, and now I'm farting a lot and have loose stools! Just read all the bad comments so not sure if should carry on taking them. Great for the pain though. M 65 1 days

 2  Lower back pain This drug has been taken with co-dydramol. After watching TV I felt anxiety on my chest and could feel my heart rate increasing. I did a little research on both drugs that I am taking and found that people have shown greater side effects of anxiety on Naproxen. I will continue to take it for a few more days to combat the pain but the anxiety is definitely there. If you suffer from depression or anxiety I would think twice about taking this drug. M 31 1 days
250mg 3X day

 2  Tibial Plateau Fracture Immediately flighty, heart rate increase dramatically and feeling intense anxiety, difficulty sleeping as I experienced increased rate of hypnagogic hallucinations, induced nightmares (I typically never dream at all.) Waking up with weakness and stress. Hypertension headaches. This drug messed with me a lot, but it was the only thing that would really help my pain. I would recommend people who take naproxen to talk to your doctor/provider about alternate drugs if you experience these symptoms. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't a fantastic experience. Does what it needs to do, but the side affects are very present. M 16 7 days
500mg 2X day

 1  Trapped nerve in neck Dizziness, racing heart, dry mouth and constant sickness. I was advised to take 2 naproxen followed with 2 zapain, taken about 20 minutes apart on a full stomach. Within 30 minutes the room started spinning, I couldn't walk, my heart and breathing were erratic and my stomach was bloated and I had heart burn. I haven't taken another dose as I'm still feeling sick and tired 2 days later. These tablets are awful! I will not be taking them ever again. M 35 1 days
