| 3 | Osteoarthritis | Took these for a few weeks, they did move the pain but I didn't feel safe taking them for a long time as I am over 65 and they can cause all sorts of problems. I was very depressed too and cried every day. | They are good for inflammation but not for long periods, at my age. | F | 72 | 24 days 2 x 500mg 2X day | 1/28/2021 | 1 | Neck/shoulder pain | Disorientated, reflux , headaches, extreme fatigue, worsening of anxiety to the point breathing felt a struggle, crying outbursts, | I took 1 dose and 3 days later I still feel extremely disoriented, no motivation/extreme fatigue and what I believe to be reflux (feeling of something in my throat, heat moving from stomach up chest) I would rather feel my back and shoulder pain than feel like this.. hoping things subside soon | F | 33 | 1 days 250mg 1X day | 1/31/2021 | 3 | To control my period | The first week of taking it, it made my stomach hurt so much. Although it did help my period, around week 2, it made me severely depressed and suicidal. I would cry all day and be so unmotivated to do anything. | F | 21 | 1 months 500 mg 2X day | 3/15/2021 | 4 | Back pain below ribs | Tingling on my hands which lasted 2-3mins | I had terrible back pain below my ribs, the pain went away after taking Naproxen for two days, I felt so relieved after taking this medication Naproxen 500mg.

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 | Endometriosis / migraines | Pain still there migraine relieved slightly but depression and anxiety are uncontrollable crying over everything | F | 36 | 3 days 50 2X day | 2/23/2022 | 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. Hope they go away soon because my life is he'll at the moment.its like a waking nightmare. My symptoms headache,light-headedness,numbness in left hand,high BP, elevated heart rate. Pounding tinnitus. | Might work for some people but I would suffer with a leg hanging off than take one more of these. | M | 54 | 5 days 500 2X day | 5/12/2022 | 1 | Back injury | Severe anxiety, depression, general dread. Tinnitus. Trouble sleeping. Also had stomach pain for 5 days a couple weeks ago. Did not know these side effects were possible and I felt worse than I ever have. Just threw them all away. I thought I was losing my mind. Took one yesterday and had a horrible day. Didn't take one today and by the night I started feeling better and decided to Google naproxen causing anxiety and here we are. | Feel free to email me. I hope you feel better everyone! | M | 38 | 3 months 220 - 440 2X day | 9/13/2022 | 3 | Wound to lower back | Anxiety and very emotional. Depression and slight paranoia. Ruminative worry.

I would not be able to walk if I didn’t take it. | M | 54 | 0 years 1000 1X day | 11/12/2022 | 2 | Pain in womb & sciatic pain in leg | I already have GAD & have noticed lately I have had increased anxiety which has been uncontrollable, felt lile my heart was pounding way too much. Intrusive thoughts & extreme paranoia. Waking up at 3-4am for the past week. Tiredness, dizziness & ringing in my ears. | F | 35 | 21 days 500mg 2X day | 2/18/2023 | 1 | Headache | Never again just stopped taking them caused ringing in ears anxiety fatigue crying | F | 60 | 2 days 500 2X day | 4/7/2023 | 1 | Treatment of frozen shoulder | Uncontrollable emotions. Crying over everything and nothing at all. Did not even help the pain or range of motion of what it was supposed to be treating. Disrupted sleep making me feel like a complete sleep deprived, depressed zombie. | Would not recommend this drug for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) | F | 52 | 4 days 500 2X day | 7/10/2023 | 2 | Back and leg pain | Very bad headache from back of head to top l lasted from noon till about 3 am | Not going to take it any more going back to prednisone I know it's not good for me but short time helps with leg pain | M | 67 | 3 days 20mg 2X day | 9/8/2023 | 1 | Severe spinal stenosis | Very dizzy fast heart rate and very high blood pressure | Will never take again, dangerous drug. | F | 67 | 7 days 500mg 1X day | 10/1/2023 | 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 | Pain in shoulder | I took just one tablet - never again. 24 hours later I am still feeling dizzy. felt disorientated, had to walk round without moving my head as it was so bad. Had to sleep with light on as there were migraine like flashes in my eyes. It did work on the pain, but not worth the horrid feeling. had to sleep during the day too. Slowed my thinking. | M | 75 | 1 days 500mg 1X day | 2/15/2024 |
