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  Plantar Fasciitis Well the first few days the inflammation in my foot seemed to disperse. I was feeling better. My stomach began to bloat within a few hours of taking it. It wasn't until day 6 did the real pain hit. I was up all night. The pain was worse than contractions. At least with those I got a break. The next day I realized naproxen was the culprit and stopped taking it. One week later now, my stomach is still bloated. No gas, no constipation. Just really bloated and uncomfortable. I've been eating small meals, I workout like crazy, but nothing seems to help. I'm healthy, other than the plantar fasciitis. This constant bloat started when I began napoxen. My diet (healthy) has not changed. F 35 6 days

 1  Headaches So many negative side effects from this drug including intense bloating, stomach aches even with 20mg twice a day of pantoprazole, difficulty urinating with increased need to, constipation, weakness, fatigue, night sweats and vivid dreams but the worst was the low mood, increased anxiety about everything and feeling like there generally was no point to life. Worked well for the headaches but not worth the extensive side effects. F 35 2 months

 1  Trapped nerve in neck Dizziness, racing heart, dry mouth and constant sickness. I was advised to take 2 naproxen followed with 2 zapain, taken about 20 minutes apart on a full stomach. Within 30 minutes the room started spinning, I couldn't walk, my heart and breathing were erratic and my stomach was bloated and I had heart burn. I haven't taken another dose as I'm still feeling sick and tired 2 days later. These tablets are awful! I will not be taking them ever again. M 35 1 days

 1  Tendonitis/inflammation After my first dose I woke up in the night with severe cramps, the pain was unbearable I was nautious as well, I wanted to be sure it was because of the pill, do I took it again with food, as I was supposed to take it twice a day, and a half hour later, intense abdominal pain, i phoned my physicians office , and I am no longer taking it. It has been over 12 hours later and I am still experiencing abdominal pain. I'm even more frustrated now because I did not want to fill the prescription to begin with, my doc insisted that I trust her. F 35 1 days
