| 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 | Arthritis | Nausea & constipation (have been physically sick) breathless - tight chest & coughing Worst of all severe chills from head to toe every night. Restless sleep all night. Feeling wretched every night. | The chills & other symptoms even lead me to ask for blood test for diabetes. Arthritis- not a lot of difference to plain ibuprofen ( which I can't tolerate either). After reading other symptoms I will not take any more. | F | 64 | 15 days 500 1X day | 4/16/2017 | 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 | 2 | Pain in womb & sciatic pain in leg | I already have GAD & have noticed lately I have had increased anxiety which has been uncontrollable, felt lile my heart was pounding way too much. Intrusive thoughts & extreme paranoia. Waking up at 3-4am for the past week. Tiredness, dizziness & ringing in my ears. | F | 35 | 21 days 500mg 2X day | 2/18/2023 | 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 | 1 | Lateral epichondilitis (Tennis elbow) | Palpitations, breathlessness, chest pain, high BP, some mild gastritis, diarrhoea, lightheadedness, excess belching, feeling cold | M | 50 | 28 days 500 2X day | 5/27/2016 Patient History | 3 | Herniated Disks in Neck | Stomach discomfort, constant hunger | Helped somewhat but not nearly enough. | F | 38 | 30 days | 11/12/2007 | 1 | Knee swelling from injury and arthritis | Horrible stomach cramps diarrhea muscle cramps. Cramps so bad could not stand or even touch stomach | Anti-inflammatory drugs are killing record numbers of people in the states and hospitalizing hundreds every day when will they control them | M | 62 | 1 weeks | 12/24/2017 | 1 | arthritis | Heart racing blurry vision dizzy all day | Takes pain away but not worth it. Its hell trying to work and handle family affairs | 46 | 1 weeks 2d | 5/31/2015 | 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 | 2 | plantar fasciitis | Gas, BAD constipation. | It did not work. It just gave me more uncomfortable symptons, like constipation. Thank goodness for Metamucil, because eating fiber did not help. I took 500mg twice a day I think. | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 6/5/2008 | 1 | Back pain following car accident | Horrendous stomach cramps (particularly at night), some days in, extreme feeling of sickness but could not be sick (was eventually sick twice over course of 2 days) but felt like i wanted to be sick much more frequently. Couldn't face eating anything. | Have now been prescribed Omerprazole 20mg to try & sort out stomach & acid reflux which GP thinks is cause of problem, 3 weeks later, still not feeling 100%, but definite signs of improvement. | F | 24 | 2 weeks 500MG | 1/10/2015 | 1 | Bruised swollen ankle | Rapid heart beat (palpitations) flushed face lightheadedness, shaking, weakness, nervousness, Extremely depressed, zero energy and very agitated. I also was vey paranoid about my partner for no reason... I honestly thought she'd spiked me with some kind of illegal drug it was absolutely horrible and stopped taking immediately. I would rather suffer the pain than Take this dirty, horrible, nasty drug..... | Would not recommend to anyone.... | M | 39 | 2 weeks 250 3X day | 11/28/2020 | 2 | ulnar nerve popping out of groove | Had an increase in nightmares. Tonight has been the worst. Really bad reflux, tightness in chest, difficulty breathing. | Going to stop taking it and hopefully side effects will go away soon. | M | 31 | 3 weeks | 7/17/2015 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Arthritis | VERY SCARY, extremely bad side effects. Blurry vision, dizziness, very high blood pressure. Took a while to realize it was the naproxen. I think this med could have killed me, had I not figured it out. | I took 2 tabs every morning for arthritis. Started having blurry vision, dizziness, but did not realize why. After 1 month, severe dizziness, very blurry vision, heart palps, blood pressure 215/112. Never had BP problems before. Ended up in the ER. It occurred to me that it was the naproxen. Stopped it. Got better. THIS MED IS DANGEROUS. AT LEAST WHEN TAKEN LONG TERM. Will cause heart attack or stroke. | F | 43 | 1 months 2 x 220 1X day | 11/9/2014 | 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 | 2/12/2016 | 1 | Shoulder pain, then back pain | Hives | I cannot take this medication. The first time I took it, for shoulder pain, it did nothing for the pain and caused me to itch. The second time I took it, for back pain, again it did nothing for the pain and I broke out in hives. From what I've read, inflammation doesn't really happen, it's just something the doctors are blaiming pain on when they don't know what causes it, especially chronic pain. | M | 26 | 2 months | 10/13/2005 | 1 | Headaches | So many negative side effects from this drug including intense bloating, stomach aches even with 20mg twice a day of pantoprazole, difficulty urinating with increased need to, constipation, weakness, fatigue, night sweats and vivid dreams but the worst was the low mood, increased anxiety about everything and feeling like there generally was no point to life. | Worked well for the headaches but not worth the extensive side effects. | F | 35 | 2 months 500 1X day | 12/26/2021 |
