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)

 3  Shoulder pain stomach burning (when I took the medication), possibly gastric problems(after 2.5 years), increase in alertness You shouldn't take it long term, it may cause gastric problems. The medication worked well but had some serious (long term use) side effects. I always took the medication with lots of food, otherwise it made my stomach burn. During the first couple of months I took the medication twice a day. Then I started taking it once a day. After 1-1.5 years I took the medication as needed (every 3-5 days). I am not 100% sure my gastric problems were caused by the medication, but they probably were. F 27 2.5 years

 3  Wisdom tooth Infection Drowsiness, Dizziness, Anxiety, Heart Racing, Nausea, Vomiting, Lightheadedness I took this as it was prescribed for my husband for his tooth infection to relieve pain and inflammation before his dental visit. I should have eaten a little more, but I took 1 500mg tablet in the morning with 2 pieces of toast and some orange juice. Within 20 minutes I felt "high", and I knew something was not right. It did work for the pain, but it was not worth it. My heart started to race, my extremities felt cold, and I generally felt dizzy/lightheaded. I managed to finish getting ready for work. I then began to feel sick to my stomach, and vomited. I was kind of relieved as I was hoping I threw up most of the Naproxen. I drank some water, and I vomited again! A lot more this time. I didn't mind as I knew this would help me feel normal faster. I went to work and got through the day somehow. About 7 hours later I felt a lot better, and almost normal again. The pain returned with a vengeance! Overall I probably would not take this medication again. If I did I would take 250mg with a LOT OF FOOD. Unfortunately, I got the short end of the stick with the side effects. At least I didn't have stomach bleeding... that would have scared me to death. F 26 1 days
500 1X day
