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

 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

 3  Osteoarthritis Took these for a few weeks, they did move the pain but I didn't feel safe taking them for a long time as I am over 65 and they can cause all sorts of problems. I was very depressed too and cried every day. They are good for inflammation but not for long periods, at my age. F 72 24 days

 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

 3  Cervical spine arthritis Very lethargic, vision problems, red eyes, edema all over, dull thinking, overall not my happy self, feeling so down! This is very effective for inflammation and pain, but I'm cutting my dosage in (at least) half after taking it for 1.5 days. I'll take 500mg morning and evening. I'll cut it down more if I still feel terrible. F 65 2 days

 1  Arthritis Nausea & constipation (have been physically sick) breathless - tight chest & coughing Worst of all severe chills from head to toe every night. Restless sleep all night. Feeling wretched every night. The chills & other symptoms even lead me to ask for blood test for diabetes. Arthritis- not a lot of difference to plain ibuprofen ( which I can't tolerate either). After reading other symptoms I will not take any more. F 64 15 days
