| 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 | 1 | Knee pain (supposed sprain.) | Heart racing, dizzy/lightheaded, confusion, nausea, decreased concentration ability, paranoid (slightly), ------------ After two doses i felt like i was going to have a nervous breakdown.

Slight blurring of vision when reading computer screen or print, but it's hard to tell if it's just that I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round and want to get OFF! I feel mildly nauseous but am so dizzy that I cannot function... just have to sit still (and ask everyone not to move too much as anything that moves/makes a noise seems to make me worse). I had the same reaction to Mobic/Meloxicam, another NSAID, which also gave me tinnitus. The tinnitus (ringing in ears) is starting to kick in with Naproxen too now. | I was so desperate for this to work as my arthritis pain is interferring with my ability to cope with the demands of 4 kids and being a teacher, plus the fact that we're going overseas on a holiday soon.

It has been over 12 hours later and I am still experiencing abdominal pain.
