| 3 | Wound to lower back | Anxiety and very emotional. Depression and slight paranoia. Ruminative worry. Loss of motivation. | M | 55 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 11/2/2022 | 2 | back pain | Dizziness disorientation blurred vision sweating anxiety feeling wobbly feeling scared nightmares weakness unable to concentrate. Had to go home from work. | Really horrible side effects. Quite scary. Advised by gp to stop taking them.

Blood blusters on forearms . | I have never felt so ill, and stiill feel sick and dizzy 24 hours after stopping taking it.

Being rushed off in an ambulance with acute chest pain was terrifying. The diarrhea is still here, plus I now have blood in stool and still feeling of something stuck in my throat. I found a list of all my symptoms on the website detailing side effects associated with taking naproxen. The flu symptoms went away after the first week and so did hoarseness and voice problems but I'm wondering how long does it take to get this thing out of the system and get rid of all the other symptoms. Does naproxen just poison you and leave you to suffer indefinitely? Why are doctors still prescribing this chemical if they are aware of it's negative impact on the body? | F | 55 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/20/2016 | 1 | My legs are swollen | Swollen legs,shortness of breath.I will never take this drug ever. | I wasted money,cause it's in the garbage can | F | 55 | 3 days | 10/26/2017 | 5 | Knee pain | No side affects | Have been taking naproxen for years.

On Wednesday at work I was highly emotional and cried easily which was quite unusual. Then on Thursday I took the day off as I woke up very depressed with brain fog and no energy to get out of bed. Over the course of Thursday I felt better and my spirits lifted. I was back to feeling fine. Will not take naproxen ever again. Not worth it. | F | 54 | 1 days 500 mg 1X day | 2/10/2022 | 1 | Muscle pain in lower back | Extreme anxiety. Tinnitus very bad. It has raised my blood pressure even now 9 days after ceasing the medication I felt all of these while on the medication but only after day 5 made the connection. I have missed 5 days of work because of the light-headedness and horrible Tinnitus. I will never touch this again. I took this some years ago and had the same symptoms but it was only this time round that I made the connection between this med and my symptoms. This med has caused me trips to a and e , two nights in hospital and doctors visits. Still not right 10 days on. Can't believe I was stupid enough to take it without reading about side effects.
