5 | Arthritis | Absolutely none.Even when I need to up my once daily dose | I always take my dosage on a full stomach and take Omeprasole as well. | F | 3 years 500mg 1X day | 4/14/2016 | 4 | Costochondritis | Acid reflux | Had to take omneprazole at the same time as the naproxen gave me really bad acid reflux. It did make a difference though and well worth using. | F | 6 weeks | 11/12/2008 | 3 | Back pain | Feel unwell as if I've got a cold,aching limbs,nauseous. | Works for the chronic back pain but side effects are hard to cope with | F | 10 days 500 | 5/21/2016 | 3 | 1X day | 4/4/2018 | 2 | | 4/13/2007 | 1 | Shoulder pain | My feet went numb | F | 10 days | 5/4/2015 | 1 | chronic pain | 1 days | 7/29/2015 | 3 | Strained foot muscles | Constipation, tummy aches , cold flashes , gas , bloated stomach, nausea | I have been taking them with food as the doctor told me to, and they are horrible. Yes they help with pain but the side affects that come along with it is even worse than the pain I had before! | F | 15 | 4 days 500 mg | 8/8/2015 | 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 | 4/21/2016 | 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 500 mh | 3/12/2016 | 3 | Costochondritis | Upset stomach, dizziness. Almost felt like car sickness or like I was hungry. Wanted to throw up but couldn't. | F | 16 | 3 days 500 MG | 10/22/2014 | 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 | 10/4/2023 | 1 | Severe menstrual cramps | Dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, light-headedness and made me feel very disorientated | This drug did nothing but make me feel worse and had me sent home twice from nearly fainting in class. Wouldn't touch the stuff again as it's a bloody poison! | F | 17 | 5 days 2 x 375mg | 12/13/2016 | 1 | Tempourmandibular bone dysfunction | Mouth ulcers, vomiting, nausea | Would not advice this to be taken by anyone | F | 17 | 4 months | 6/14/2015 | 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 500 2X day | 2/26/2015 | 1 | Knee pain (supposed sprain.) | Heart racing, dizzy/lightheaded, confusion, nausea, decreased concentration ability, paranoid (slightly), ------------ After two doses i felt like i was going to have a nervous breakdown. I consider myself allergic to the medication because of the extreme amount of my reaction. | F | 18 | 2 days 30mg | 7/20/2012 | 1 | Stomach pain | Bad BAD BAAAAAAAAAD stomach pain !! The medicine did NOT help !!! It made my stomach feel WORSE !!! & hard to use restroom !!! | F | 18 | 1 days | 12/17/2015 | 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 | 6/18/2015 | 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 | 6/20/2015 | 1 | Sprain in my AC Joint (shoulder) | This is my 5th time taking it and i always feel dizzy, and my stomach hurts. It does not help my pain at all. And it just makes me feel sick. | I'm never using this again. | F | 19 | 5 days 500 MG 1X day | 3/4/2014 |
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.
