| 4 | Costochondritis | Acid reflux | Had to take omneprazole at the same time as the naproxen gave me really bad acid reflux. It did make a difference though and well worth using. | F | 6 weeks | 11/12/2008 | 4 | lower back pain | Gas and constipation | Pill contains lactose (milk) and I can't digest milk. Will be taking lactase enzyme with the pills from now on. No wonder I had horrible bloating. Also, bruise easily. But, it improves the pain immensely. | F | 61 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/19/2017 | 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. I managed to get my life back as I was struggling with pain each day. | F | 44 | 2 days 500 2X day | 5/24/2021 | 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 | 3 | Costochondritis | I have had anxiety feeling very depressed, emotional having negative thoughts constantly thinking there is something wrong in my mind it was a horrible feeling. | F | 40 | 3 months 250 mg 4X M | 11/20/2020 | 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 | 3 | Painful stiff neck | Rectal bleeding Dizziness | Took the edge off the pain in my neck enough to allow me to function during the day, but the dizziness and rectal bleeding I started noticing towards end of 2nd day is not worth continuing. I haven't taken anything since yesterday late afternoon, but am still feeling dizzy nearly 24hrs later. | F | 43 | 3 days 500 2X day | 9/2/2016 | 3 | Cervical spine arthritis | Very lethargic, vision problems, red eyes, edema all over, dull thinking, overall not my happy self, feeling so down! | This is very effective for inflammation and pain, but I'm cutting my dosage in (at least) half after taking it for 1.5 days. I'll take 500mg morning and evening. I'll cut it down more if I still feel terrible. | F | 65 | 2 days 1000 2X day | 7/11/2019 | 3 | Knee pain | It helps with the pain but the mood swings are horrible. I only get like this after a day of taking aleve. It's really bad. Need to find something else | F | 46 | 3 days 1X day | 8/10/2020 | 3 | Herniated Disks in Neck | Stomach discomfort, constant hunger | Helped somewhat but not nearly enough. | F | 38 | 30 days | 11/12/2007 | 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 | 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 | 3 | back pains | On 2nd wk ov tablets started feeling sick like hunger pains even tho i ad eaten pain between my breast bone still making me feel sick now and again i av stopped taking them 3 days ago | F | 34 | 9 days 500mg | 11/26/2012 | 3 | Inflammation/pain in thumb basal jo | Mildly nauseous on the second day, horrible nausea and gas(burping all day) on the 3rd day. A little weak and dizzy too. | Not worth it, definitely asking my doctor for something else. | F | 47 | 3 days 500 mg 1X day | 11/10/2014 | 3 | Inflammation in ankle | Helped with pain in ankle and reduced swelling after half hour but had major stomach pain which included bloating and nausea. Felt a little stunned. | F | 35 | 1 days 500mg | 1/9/2015 | 3 | Costochondritis | Upset stomach, dizziness. Almost felt like car sickness or like I was hungry. Wanted to throw up but couldn't. | F | 16 | 3 days 500 MG | 10/22/2014 | 3 | heel spur was cutting into tendon | Took first dose with food and attempted to finish the last 4 hours of my work shift. Was dizzy, nauseated and very sleepy. When I woke up in the morning I had bloody drool all over my pillow, I could not find a cut in my mouth to account for it. I took my next dose with food and began getting dizzy and nauseated, this time with vomiting and noticed I was vomiting up some pinkish and red colors, I'd eaten scrambled eggs and had a glass of milk, nothing red. I took the next dose that night simply because I was liking not having intense pain in my foot even if the nausea and vomiting was troublesome. I continued to vomit with red stuff but when my urine started being pink I decided I better quit the dosage on the 3rd day, which was the 4th dose I'd taken. | I attempted a lesser dose of Naproxen Sodium in the OTC version of 220 mg thinking it was just to strong a dose for me. The nausea continued at a lesser dosage and still having bloody urine on day 4. So I can say that yes the medicine did help with the problem, but the side effects caused me to stop treatment using this particular class of drug. | F | 34 | 3 days 500 mg 2X day | 2/25/2015 | 3 | Costocondridis | After first dose I had a bad stomach ache. I was still in pain from condition so I took it again. Another stomach ache. Tried to take a third time. Bad stomach pain 24 hours later. I think I'll stop taking it :( | I've taken in the past (10 years ago) and it gave me bad acid reflux. | F | 36 | 5 days 500 1X day | 1/22/2015 | 3 | severe thigh pain | headache chest tightening and severe stomach cramps | catch 22.fantastic pain relief but horrendous side effects | F | 48 | 2 weeks 500 | 9/6/2015 | 3 | Back pain | Feel unwell as if I've got a cold,aching limbs,nauseous. | Works for the chronic back pain but side effects are hard to cope with | F | 10 days 500 | 5/21/2016 |
