| 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 | 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 250mg 3X day | 12/26/2020 | 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 | 2 | Bursitis of hip | Stuffy head, dizzyness, nausea on and off during the day | Doesn't seem to help my hip pain, but when I rubbed ibuleve gel into my hip and took paracetamol felt more relief | M | 61 | 4 days 250gx2 2X day | 9/5/2020 | 2 | Injury to both knees | Burning chest, Nausea, Abdominal pain, Heart Palpitations.
