| 1 | Damaged knee ligaments | Took naproxen for 2 days, Felt like I had trapped wind and for the past 3 nights now I've been getting pains in my chest that have woke me up because they are so bad, had slight headaches and upper back pain I've since stopped taking them and feel slightly better but still terrible (If that makes sense) these are absolutely awful and I wouldn't recommend them to a dying animal if it would help them ..The worse medication I have ever taken in my life which is ruining my day to day life at the moment | Do not use under any circumstances in my experience it didn't help the situation at all just caused a whole new catalogue of problems | M | 28 | 2 days | 7/24/2015 | 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 1X day | 8/4/2012 | 1 | Ruptured calf muscle | Excruciating stomach pain, constipation then diarrhea. Chills, bloating. | I'd rather have my leg pain thanks. This drug is awful, it's been 15 hours since I took it and I'm still experiencing a lot of stomach pain, diarrhea and chills | F | 27 | 1 days 500mg | 12/23/2015 | 1 | Shoulder pain following car crash | Extreme heartburn, stomach cramps Ongoing (every 5 minutes, even after stopping medication after only taking it twice)! Nausea. Light headed. | Side effects after first dose, heartburn all night. Couldn't sleep. Nauseous. Side effects after second dose next morning (with breakfast), had to go to work, stomach cramps, chest pain, nauseous. That was the last dosage I had. That early evening my continuous stomach cramps and chest pain were so bad that I went for emergency appointment at GP, they immediately took ECG, but found it was side effects of taking Naproxen, even after only taking 2 doses. Put me on 20mg Omeprazole, twice daily, still have stomach cramps extremely bad every 5 minutes, 2 days later after stopping doses. Nausea has lessened. Heartburn still constant. Would never take this again. EVER! | F | 27 | 2 times 250mg 2X day | 4/16/2015 | 1 | Separated shoulder | Terrible stomach ace, dry mouth, chills. | Instructed to take 2x day. After the first day, I woke up in the middle of the night to stomach pains so bad I can't sleep: I haven't taken any more, and here I am on night 3 and it's just as bad. Makes me feel hungry in the middle of the night, but food makes it worse. Milk helps. Another in my house has similar effects. This stuff is awful, don't take it. Side effects worse than shoulder pain. | M | 27 | 1 days 500mg | 1/6/2016 | 1 | arthritus | Extremely bad stomach pains. Could not sleep at night they were so bad. Felt like contractions. I couldnt move, sit down or lie down. Found it difficult to do dialy tasks. I went to ER as the pains were so bad it really scaree me. I had nausea also and upset stomach. | Horrible drug and will never take again. Advise anyone told to take it not to. | F | 27 | 3 days 500mg | 4/22/2016 | 1 | Back pain | After taking just ONE pill (After a full meal) i got the most awful painful stomach cramps, chest tightening and dizzy spells. I only got an hours sleep as the pain was too much and 24 hours later, i still feel awful. | I would rather live with my back pain then ever take one of these tablets again. If i still feel like this 24 hours after taking just one pill, i dread to think what this medication would do to my body long term. Avoid! | F | 27 | 1 days 250mg | 10/5/2016 | 3 | Wisdom tooth Infection | Drowsiness, Dizziness, Anxiety, Heart Racing, Nausea, Vomiting, Lightheadedness | I took this as it was prescribed for my husband for his tooth infection to relieve pain and inflammation before his dental visit. I should have eaten a little more, but I took 1 500mg tablet in the morning with 2 pieces of toast and some orange juice. Within 20 minutes I felt "high", and I knew something was not right. It did work for the pain, but it was not worth it. My heart started to race, my extremities felt cold, and I generally felt dizzy/lightheaded. I managed to finish getting ready for work. I then began to feel sick to my stomach, and vomited. I was kind of relieved as I was hoping I threw up most of the Naproxen. I drank some water, and I vomited again! A lot more this time. I didn't mind as I knew this would help me feel normal faster. I went to work and got through the day somehow. About 7 hours later I felt a lot better, and almost normal again. The pain returned with a vengeance! Overall I probably would not take this medication again. If I did I would take 250mg with a LOT OF FOOD. Unfortunately, I got the short end of the stick with the side effects. At least I didn't have stomach bleeding... that would have scared me to death. | F | 26 | 1 days 500 1X day | 8/23/2011 | 1 | Shoulder pain, then back pain | Hives | I cannot take this medication. The first time I took it, for shoulder pain, it did nothing for the pain and caused me to itch. The second time I took it, for back pain, again it did nothing for the pain and I broke out in hives. From what I've read, inflammation doesn't really happen, it's just something the doctors are blaiming pain on when they don't know what causes it, especially chronic pain. | M | 26 | 2 months | 10/13/2005 | 1 | Chronic back pain | nausea and hunger pang so bad can't sleep | It is the devil | F | 26 | 2 days 500 | 10/1/2015 | 1 | Menstrual cramps | Indigestion,nausea,bloating | I will not take this again and I recommend others against taking it as well. | F | 26 | 3 days 500MG | 6/2/2015 | 4 | Muscle pain, and tension | Blurred vision, but could have been from my other medication. | Really helped in taking away the majority of the pain. | M | 25 | 6 days | 1/8/2003 | 2 | Severe inflammation in left side | Feeling hungry when full, severe nausea, hot sweats | Would rather the pain from the swelling | F | 25 | 2 days 500mg 3X day | 7/6/2013 | 2 | Knee tendon popping/ tender pain | Anxiety, confusion, dry mouth, paranoia, racing heart, insomnia | I started taking Naproxen late afternoon yesterday on a full stomach. I had no stomach/ nausea issues with the first pill, but began to feel rather anxious and disoriented 15 to 20 minutes after taking it. The rest of the evening I felt off with anxious thoughts. I took a second pill before bed thinking it would make me sleepy & reduce anxiety- unfortunately did the opposite...I've been up all night with a dry mouth & racing heart. My pain has reduced but the side effects have been pretty alarming. I don't know that I'll be continuing with/ taking this medication again. | F | 25 | 2 days | 3/4/2015 | 1 | Knee pain | Upset stomach, heart racing and hurting, and nausea. | I was taking this because I get extreme knee pain when squatting or crouching. Well it didn't do anything for the pain and has made me feel awful. | M | 25 | 1 days | 7/28/2007 | 1 | Tooth pain | Stomach pain, excessive belching. | M | 25 | 3 days 500MG | 9/25/2015 | 1 | Dry socket (after tooth extraction) | Nausea, terrible diarrhoea, tiredness and generally unwell. | Took this medication as directed after food. Initially I was absultly fine however woke up the next morning and I felt so rotten couldn't eat or drink. I honestly would have just preferred to put up with the pain had I known it was going to do this to me. Be very cautious when taking this medication it is a beast. | F | 24 | 1 days 250 | 10/30/2015 | 1 | Whiplash and headaches | Feeling of painful trapped wind, numb tingling feet, light headed, really really painful stomach cramps, feeling of constant constipation, cold and feverish, indigestion | These made me close to tears, woke me up in the middle of the night with cramps and feeling like I needed the toilet but didn't. | F | 24 | 2 days 500 MG 2X day | 2/12/2016 | 1 | Costochronditis-chest pain | Extremely bad chest pain, chest tightness, extremely weak, very tired, trouble breathing, lightheaded. | Will never take this med again. I felt like I was going to die. Horrible. | F | 24 | 3 days 500 MG | 9/27/2015 | 1 | Neck pain | UPSET STOMACH, drowsiness | This pill made me extremely sick. I was throwing up for a few hours after I took it....with food as directed....and the last time or two I was throwing up blood. I cannot believe that this pill made me so sick. Stopped taking it and the stomach pain remained for a few days as a dull burning sensation everytime I ate. Little did I know that this pill is known to cause bleeding in the stomach, intentines, ect. | F | 24 | 5 days | 7/2/2007 |
