| 1 | Damaged knee ligaments | Took naproxen for 2 days, Felt like I had trapped wind and for the past 3 nights now I've been getting pains in my chest that have woke me up because they are so bad, had slight headaches and upper back pain I've since stopped taking them and feel slightly better but still terrible (If that makes sense) these are absolutely awful and I wouldn't recommend them to a dying animal if it would help them ..The worse medication I have ever taken in my life which is ruining my day to day life at the moment | Do not use under any circumstances in my experience it didn't help the situation at all just caused a whole new catalogue of problems | M | 28 | 2 days | 7/24/2015 | 1 | Bicep tendonitis | I took 3 tabs, raging cystitis, stomach ache, diarrhea, can't even drink water. | I had last tab 3 days ago and would never take again.

Can't stand up room spinning, Laying down just makes him sick. Sick both ends. | Would have thought Doctor could have warned side effects could be bad considering the amount of people on this site alone, yes you read the leaflet but then all tablets carry side effects. Makes it worse that he just finished 2 weeks leave with his new company and now has to go sick. DO-NOT TOUCH THIS TABLET. | M | 54 | 2 days 500 2X day | 9/4/2017 | 1 | severe headaches | Worse headache, panic attacks, anxiety, felt like the start of a breakdown. Tingling face.Tight, numb head. | Never had anxiety before. Scary experience, panic attacks and side effects still ongoing 4 days later. Avoid at all costs! | F | 44 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 9/22/2016 | 1 | Injury to trapezius | Took 3 tablets on day one and two on the second day. A few hours after the final dose the nausea started along with stomach cramps. Felt generally sick and dizzy. | I will not take these again. | F | 37 | 2 days 250 | 5/14/2016 | 1 | Headache | Never again just stopped taking them caused ringing in ears anxiety fatigue crying | F | 60 | 2 days 500 2X day | 4/7/2023 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 2 | Back pain and muscle spasms | Headaches, bloating, chest pain, stomach pain, fever, difficulty in breathing. | I tried to cope with the side effects for as long as I could but then I felt ill, my stomach was so sore and I couldn't breathe well. I don't want to have these ever again. | F | 22 | 3 days | 7/23/2016 | 2 | Back and leg pain | Very bad headache from back of head to top l lasted from noon till about 3 am | Not going to take it any more going back to prednisone I know it's not good for me but short time helps with leg pain | M | 67 | 3 days 20mg 2X day | 9/8/2023 | 2 | Arthritis | The first two days on naproxen I found it was great for pain! Woke up day 3, feeling very neauseas and also constipated! Also took it with food as recommended. | F | 21 | 3 days | 7/29/2014 | 2 | tendonitis and carpal tunnel | Upset stomach and cramps which worsen the hungrier I get so stopped although they were actually helping the tendonitis | F | 52 | 3 days 500 | 1/18/2014 | 2 | Low back/leg pain | No side effects until after the third dose. Started with waking during the night with indigestion. Followed the next morning with bloating, extreme belching, and occasional stomach pains. Felt like a tight band stretched across the upper back. I did note decreased pain levels. The side effects severe enough to discontinue medication. Slight anxiety noted.. Possibly because of the side effects, or was it the medication. | F | 45 | 3 days 220 bid | 1/25/2016 |
