| 1 | Costochondritis | Indigestion, heartburn, bloating, fast heart rate, anxiety from fast heart rate, mouth ulcers, belching | I was prescribed to take 500mg twice a day for two weeks. I have been fighting these symptoms not even putting two and two together! Very scary drug. Will never take again I'd rather be in pain...oh wait it didn't even help with pain just made everything else in my body seem weird and like I'm dying. I haven't taken one for three days now and still have lingering side effects. | F | 24 | 12 days 500 mg | 5/30/2017 | 1 | Headaches | Within half an hour I felt sedated to the point that I was scared. Could barely talk or move had to lie down. Felt quite high and out of it. Fell asleep. When I woke up was the scary part I didn't know where I was or why I was there. I was in my own bedroom. Now I am anxious that it will happen again. Horrendous. Never ever again will I take naproxen. | Don't risk it. It's not worth it. Horrendous side effects. Very scary. Would not recommend particularly bad if you suffer from anxiety. | F | 30 | 1 days 100mg | 8/6/2017 | 1 | Back pain and menstrual cramps | Dizziness , spinning , nausea ,migraines , equilibrium off , foggy brain , crying , | If you can avoid taking this drug all together , do. I am now never going to touch it again . I was having back and period pain simultaneously and took two every few hours for a week . Nothing helped Ruth the pain but this . Next time , I would rather suffer through any pain than be sick for over three weeks from it . The poisoning side effects have yet you go away but I'm praying . | F | 34 | 7 days | 9/7/2017 | 1 | My legs are swollen | Swollen legs,shortness of breath.I will never take this drug ever. | I wasted money,cause it's in the garbage can | F | 55 | 3 days | 10/26/2017 | 1 | Knee inflammation | Flu symptoms.Tight chest.Headache. Sleepy.Loss of appetite. Reflux. Dizzy.Chills.Fever/hot flushes. Emotional. | Took one tablet in evening with food. Woke up feeling tight-chested. Took no more doses. Ok for a couple of hours then flu feeling. Lasted 2 days. 3rd night got reflux and still got headache. Killed pain in knee but think I'm seriously allergic so going back to GP for alternative. Be very careful before taking numerous doses, I think if I'd carried on taking this tablet I might have put myself in hospital. | F | 51 | 1 times 500 | 4/2/2018 | 1 | Shoulder pain | Took it after dinner woke up at 2am with horrible stomach pain. | Terrible drug. Should never be prescribed. | F | 52 | 1 days 500mg | 5/20/2020 | 1 | An earache | I took 2 tablets without water because i didn't read the directions. I woke up in the middle of the night with stabbing pains in my stomache. Three days later and i still have pains and nausea. I am also very tired and just feel sick. I try to eat but it doesn't make me feel better. I'm worried that this has permanently harmed my stomache. I will report back with a follow up | I am astounded this is on the market. It is terrible. | F | 57 | 1 days 2 tablets | 6/27/2020 | 1 | Oesteoarthritis | Aches and pains all over .depressed and suicidal thoughts. Palpations,and feeling sick and dizzy | Didnt even do anything for my pain .in fact now I've stopped taking it I realize it was making me feel worse | F | 54 | 4 months 2X day | 7/14/2020 | 1 | Joint and muscle pain | I have been keeping a food chart to determine the cause of my nausea, stomach pain and lack of appetite. When I stopped taking the naproxen, the symptoms went away. I always took it with food. | Bad stuff. Didn't really help with my pain. | F | 63 | 20 days 500 mg | 11/23/2018 | 1 | Swollen knee from bursitis | Very low mood and highly emotional! Head full of cotton wool. Chest tightness. Awful pulsing waves of stomach pain on 4th day on left side. Poor sleep. Tired and lethargic. Visual issues. Dizzy and spaced out disorientated 15 - 120 mins after taking dose. | I stopped taking it yesterday because of bad stomach pain which has been gradually going off today. Clinician said to take 1 tablet twice a day, and then to increase to 2 tablets twice or 1 three times. Gave me 2 x 28 tablet packets & said should be better in 2-3 weeks. Surely this contradicts NHS online advice to take lowest dose for shortest time. If I hadn't looked it up online I wouldn't have known my experiences were so widely shared. Leaflet isn't clear on all side effects and doesn't say that they can continue after stopping taking it. Knee is a little less swollen but pain is still there when I walk. | F | 48 | 4 days 250MG 2X day | 3/13/2019 | 1 | Period pain | THE WORST BLOATING IVE EVER HAD. I've never felt anything like it. My lower abdomen feels so firm and tight. Woke up in the night with the worst stomach pains. I have to concentrate SO hard to urinate. I'm urinating a lot more frequently. It feels like someone is stepping on my bladder. I can't believe how horrid these side effects are! I've now not taken it for 2 days and my stomach is still bloated. I hope and pray it goes down soon. This drug is awful. Will never ever use again. | F | 22 | 2 days 250mg 3X day | 8/20/2020 | 1 | Foot injury/nerve pain | Extreme depression. Excessive crying. Distorted perceptions of reality. | Side effects not worth the benefits. | F | 50 | 5 days 500mg | 2/6/2020 | 1 | Neck Pain and Inflammation | Within 15 minutes intense itching and tingling in my palms, spread to the rest of my body within 30 minutes. Whole body turned red like I was sunburnt. Hot Flashes, Dizziness and Impaired feeling as well. Dr suggested to take Benadryl to reverse the reaction and felt better in about an hour, however after 12 hours now, I still feel out of sorts. | F | 44 | 0 days 2X day | 9/23/2020 | 1 | Strained shoulder | dizziness, headache, Trouble breathing, nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, hot flashes, disorientation, rapid heartbeat. | Took 1.

I looked up what is a good one. This came up. I took 2(220mg). It said I can for adults but not 3 in a 24hr period. I took with water. After ate dinner, pho(vietnamese soup). Then drank more water. Woke up to tight chest and stomach, heartburn and threw up a little. Was able to sleep after. But woke up to tight chest and heartburn. It like a back and forth feeling.....this should not be over-the-counter. Especially reading into it after my side effects. It easy to overdose, no sorry not easy, you can accidentally overdose. | F | 29 | 1 days 220mg 1X day | 10/18/2020 | 1 | Lower Back Injury | Nausea, stomach pain, vomiting | The drug took away the pain, however after 2 days of taking it my stomach began to ache and I became nauseous, I immediately stopped taking it but the stomach issues lasted for 2 or 3 days after that. This morning, I threw up everything and I haven't taken the drug for two days. I will never take this again. | F | 59 | 2.5 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/4/2013 | 1 | Tendonitis/inflammation | After my first dose I woke up in the night with severe cramps, the pain was unbearable I was nautious as well, I wanted to be sure it was because of the pill, do I took it again with food, as I was supposed to take it twice a day, and a half hour later, intense abdominal pain, i phoned my physicians office , and I am no longer taking it. It has been over 12 hours later and I am still experiencing abdominal pain. I'm even more frustrated now because I did not want to fill the prescription to begin with, my doc insisted that I trust her. | F | 35 | 1 days | 2/20/2014 | 1 | Sprain in my AC Joint (shoulder) | This is my 5th time taking it and i always feel dizzy, and my stomach hurts.

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.

Little did I know that this pill is known to cause bleeding in the stomach, intentines, ect. | F | 24 | 5 days | 7/2/2007 |
