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  Kidney stone pains Extreme nausea, vomiting frequently While it helped with the kidney pains, it caused much more trouble with frequent vomiting. F 15 1 days

 1  Endometriosis Nausea, stomach cramps, feeling of constipation, indigestion, dizziness, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps My symptoms brought me to the ER twice in one week, at first we thought it was appendicitis then we thought maybe it was a parasite. After a week of me continuing to take these I realized it was the naproxen that was doing this to me. 10/10 would never recommend to a friend. F 15 3 months

 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  Shoulder Pain Horrible horrible stomach pains and cramps that continue to this day (so far it's my 4th day off of the pill), constantly gasious and bloated, constipation as well. DO NOT take this medication. It has caused me so much more issues than I've ever experienced with a medication. Whoever developed this medication needs to seriously rethink their pharmaceutical career. M 18 3 days

 1  Pain in my left rib area HORRIBLE 'MEDICATION' my stomach is rumbling and in pain all day. I keep passing gas and feel starving all the time even though I have ate. It makes me feel slightly sick and is making pains worse by it spreading over to the other side. My hand keeps going numb. This is not worth taking! It's been produced to slowly cause more problems Never will I be taking this medication again. F 18 6 days
250mg

 1  Pain, perhaps sciatica Anxiety, dizziness, loss of appetite I began taken Naproxen four days ago, and I have never experienced worse side effects of a drug. After a day, I was experiencing intense anxiety. I had horrible intrusive thoughts and intense panic. I have always had problems with anxiety (which my doctor never mentioned or asked me about when prescribing the medicine) but nothing as sudden as this. It was basically a sudden breakdown, and I had some thoughts of suicide.I stopped taking the drug today, and I've felt a bit better but still on edge. The dizziness and loss of appetite are manageable and not quite as alarming. It's possible that there were other causes, but I will NOT be taken this medication again. F 18 4 days
500 MG 2X day
