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)

 1  Pain in shoulder I took just one tablet - never again. 24 hours later I am still feeling dizzy. felt disorientated, had to walk round without moving my head as it was so bad. Had to sleep with light on as there were migraine like flashes in my eyes. It did work on the pain, but not worth the horrid feeling. had to sleep during the day too. Slowed my thinking. M 75 1 days

 1  Back injury Severe anxiety, depression, general dread. Tinnitus. Trouble sleeping. Also had stomach pain for 5 days a couple weeks ago. Did not know these side effects were possible and I felt worse than I ever have. Just threw them all away. I thought I was losing my mind. Took one yesterday and had a horrible day. Didn't take one today and by the night I started feeling better and decided to Google naproxen causing anxiety and here we are. Feel free to email me. I hope you feel better everyone! M 38 3 months

 1  Muscle pain in lower back Extreme anxiety. Tinnitus very bad. It has raised my blood pressure even now 9 days after ceasing the medication I felt all of these while on the medication but only after day 5 made the connection. I have missed 5 days of work because of the light-headedness and horrible Tinnitus. I will never touch this again. I took this some years ago and had the same symptoms but it was only this time round that I made the connection between this med and my symptoms. This med has caused me trips to a and e , two nights in hospital and doctors visits. Still not right 10 days on. Can't believe I was stupid enough to take it without reading about side effects. Hope they go away soon because my life is he'll at the moment.its like a waking nightmare. My symptoms headache,light-headedness,numbness in left hand,high BP, elevated heart rate. Pounding tinnitus. Might work for some people but I would suffer with a leg hanging off than take one more of these. M 54 5 days

 1  Back pain Very emotional, tearful, cry easily, then general depression and brain fog. I took it Tuesday night before bed for light back pain. On Wednesday at work I was highly emotional and cried easily which was quite unusual. Then on Thursday I took the day off as I woke up very depressed with brain fog and no energy to get out of bed. Over the course of Thursday I felt better and my spirits lifted. I was back to feeling fine. Will not take naproxen ever again. Not worth it. F 54 1 days

 1  Headaches So many negative side effects from this drug including intense bloating, stomach aches even with 20mg twice a day of pantoprazole, difficulty urinating with increased need to, constipation, weakness, fatigue, night sweats and vivid dreams but the worst was the low mood, increased anxiety about everything and feeling like there generally was no point to life. Worked well for the headaches but not worth the extensive side effects. F 35 2 months

 1  Back and Neck Pain Heartburn, chest pains, restless, loss of heat I took this to help relieve some back and neck pain that I been having. I looked up what is a good one. This came up. I took 2(220mg). It said I can for adults but not 3 in a 24hr period. I took with water. After ate dinner, pho(vietnamese soup). Then drank more water. Woke up to tight chest and stomach, heartburn and threw up a little. Was able to sleep after. But woke up to tight chest and heartburn. It like a back and forth feeling.....this should not be over-the-counter. Especially reading into it after my side effects. It easy to overdose, no sorry not easy, you can accidentally overdose.
