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)

 2  Vertebral compression/disk collapse Severe side effects! See below. Been taking it on and off for 3 years. Also taken it before for knee injury about 1 year, years before. Has taken the edge off but not the pain itself on my back and neck injury. Did take down the inflammation in 2 weeks-1 month in knee. Back injury couple of months back and forth. The knee, was a bit better but I got a immediate"I'm not here feelings" and anxiety and all these other side effects so I took it on and off and then just quit it. I thought then, the medication was making me sick/feeling bad and that maybe I had a bad moment in life and due to infection/inflammation that I was not fully ok. Now I know, It was not any bad moment in life.. Side effects: Upset stomach,weight loss, dizziness, lightheaded, tired, lethargic, ringing ears, blurred vision, anxiety/depression/panic attacks,cognitive function not working as memory/concentration, having brain fog, feeling sudden flat and emotionless, hot flashes/overheated, heart jumping/sudden skips, electric zaps in body, short of breath, nausea, trouble sleeping..When off, all these things seems to fade away. (Off for weeks or months up to 1 ½ year) I did not know this medication could do this. I got pritty much all side effects at the same time, panic/anxiety and attacks came stronger every time I went on. I thought it was because of a tragedy in family. Then I dropped the dosage and went off for several months. All energy came back! I was normal again. No panic or anxiety or other things. F 45 3 years

 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
