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)

 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

 1  Chronic sciatica Started with bad diarrhoea which continued despite medication. Stopped taking Naproxen thinking it would clear up after a few days. 3months later and I still have it and have lost over a stone in weight I blame the Naproxen, my GP is thinking the same as me. He's now trying to find out how much damage has been done and how to stop the side effects. F 63 1 months

 1  Endometriosis Nausea, stomach cramps, feeling of constipation, indigestion, dizziness, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps My symptoms brought me to the ER twice in one week, at first we thought it was appendicitis then we thought maybe it was a parasite. After a week of me continuing to take these I realized it was the naproxen that was doing this to me. 10/10 would never recommend to a friend. F 15 3 months

 1  Pain in my left rib area HORRIBLE 'MEDICATION' my stomach is rumbling and in pain all day. I keep passing gas and feel starving all the time even though I have ate. It makes me feel slightly sick and is making pains worse by it spreading over to the other side. My hand keeps going numb. This is not worth taking! It's been produced to slowly cause more problems Never will I be taking this medication again. F 18 6 days

 1  Pain, perhaps sciatica Anxiety, dizziness, loss of appetite I began taken Naproxen four days ago, and I have never experienced worse side effects of a drug. After a day, I was experiencing intense anxiety. I had horrible intrusive thoughts and intense panic. I have always had problems with anxiety (which my doctor never mentioned or asked me about when prescribing the medicine) but nothing as sudden as this. It was basically a sudden breakdown, and I had some thoughts of suicide.I stopped taking the drug today, and I've felt a bit better but still on edge. The dizziness and loss of appetite are manageable and not quite as alarming. It's possible that there were other causes, but I will NOT be taken this medication again. F 18 4 days

 1  Was prescribed for muscle pain&stiffness Was prescribed Naproxen 500 4 days ago by my doctor to take twice a day with food for seven days then stop, and notify him of how it had been working or not for my pain and condition. I have been afraid to take it especially after reading the reviews and side effects. I can't be knocked down from this. Went through enough with my body adjusting to Levothyroxine for my hypothyroidism. I don't understand why I can't just take store bought Aleve which works just fine for my pain. Would rather suffer the pain than the debilitating side effects I have read about. Patients should be monitered with their doctor in the room immediately after taking this medication if it causes such horrible side effects. Not taking it now!! NO WAY!!!!! Haven't even started this medication, and will not trust it!! F 48 1 days
500 mg 2x
