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)

  

Results are sorted by length of time drug was taken from shortest to longest duration (reviews with no time reported listed first).

Key to Ratings: 1=LOW (I would not recommend taking this medicine.)

 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

 1  Trapped nerve in neck Dizziness, racing heart, dry mouth and constant sickness. I was advised to take 2 naproxen followed with 2 zapain, taken about 20 minutes apart on a full stomach. Within 30 minutes the room started spinning, I couldn't walk, my heart and breathing were erratic and my stomach was bloated and I had heart burn. I haven't taken another dose as I'm still feeling sick and tired 2 days later. These tablets are awful! I will not be taking them ever again. M 35 1 days

 1  Separated shoulder Terrible stomach ace, dry mouth, chills. Instructed to take 2x day. After the first day, I woke up in the middle of the night to stomach pains so bad I can't sleep: I haven't taken any more, and here I am on night 3 and it's just as bad. Makes me feel hungry in the middle of the night, but food makes it worse. Milk helps. Another in my house has similar effects. This stuff is awful, don't take it. Side effects worse than shoulder pain. M 27 1 days

 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  Fractured foot Heartburn, bruising, severe nausea, stomach cramps, limb tingling The heartburn started not long after the first tablet and lasted about an hour. From then on I had severe nausea and cramps which lasted for about 8 hours, or more specifically, until I cried myself to sleep. My left eyelid turned purple and my limbs became tingly. The effects of that first pill have freaked me out so much that I haven't taken another (I'm supposed to take 3 a day). The side effects did distract me from the pain but in a sick joke kind of way! I'd rather have the pain of my injury than to take that evil drug ever again. F 32 1 days
