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  heel spur was cutting into tendon Took first dose with food and attempted to finish the last 4 hours of my work shift. Was dizzy, nauseated and very sleepy. When I woke up in the morning I had bloody drool all over my pillow, I could not find a cut in my mouth to account for it. I took my next dose with food and began getting dizzy and nauseated, this time with vomiting and noticed I was vomiting up some pinkish and red colors, I'd eaten scrambled eggs and had a glass of milk, nothing red. I took the next dose that night simply because I was liking not having intense pain in my foot even if the nausea and vomiting was troublesome. I continued to vomit with red stuff but when my urine started being pink I decided I better quit the dosage on the 3rd day, which was the 4th dose I'd taken. I attempted a lesser dose of Naproxen Sodium in the OTC version of 220 mg thinking it was just to strong a dose for me. The nausea continued at a lesser dosage and still having bloody urine on day 4. So I can say that yes the medicine did help with the problem, but the side effects caused me to stop treatment using this particular class of drug. F 34 3 days

 1  Fractured foot Heartburn, bruising, severe nausea, stomach cramps, limb tingling The heartburn started not long after the first tablet and lasted about an hour. From then on I had severe nausea and cramps which lasted for about 8 hours, or more specifically, until I cried myself to sleep. My left eyelid turned purple and my limbs became tingly. The effects of that first pill have freaked me out so much that I haven't taken another (I'm supposed to take 3 a day). The side effects did distract me from the pain but in a sick joke kind of way! I'd rather have the pain of my injury than to take that evil drug ever again. F 32 1 days

 2  Lower back pain This drug has been taken with co-dydramol. After watching TV I felt anxiety on my chest and could feel my heart rate increasing. I did a little research on both drugs that I am taking and found that people have shown greater side effects of anxiety on Naproxen. I will continue to take it for a few more days to combat the pain but the anxiety is definitely there. If you suffer from depression or anxiety I would think twice about taking this drug. M 31 1 days

 1  Headaches Within half an hour I felt sedated to the point that I was scared. Could barely talk or move had to lie down. Felt quite high and out of it. Fell asleep. When I woke up was the scary part I didn't know where I was or why I was there. I was in my own bedroom. Now I am anxious that it will happen again. Horrendous. Never ever again will I take naproxen. Don't risk it. It's not worth it. Horrendous side effects. Very scary. Would not recommend particularly bad if you suffer from anxiety. F 30 1 days

 1  Back and Neck Pain Heartburn, chest pains, restless, loss of heat I took this to help relieve some back and neck pain that I been having. I looked up what is a good one. This came up. I took 2(220mg). It said I can for adults but not 3 in a 24hr period. I took with water. After ate dinner, pho(vietnamese soup). Then drank more water. Woke up to tight chest and stomach, heartburn and threw up a little. Was able to sleep after. But woke up to tight chest and heartburn. It like a back and forth feeling.....this should not be over-the-counter. Especially reading into it after my side effects. It easy to overdose, no sorry not easy, you can accidentally overdose. F 29 1 days
