Severe constipation and bloating. Unable to pass anything but gas. Nausea and dry heaves (not eating much). | M | 52 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/8/2018 | 1 | Severe menstrual cramps | Dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, light-headedness and made me feel very disorientated | This drug did nothing but make me feel worse and had me sent home twice from nearly fainting in class. Wouldn't touch the stuff again as it's a bloody poison! | F | 17 | 5 days 2 x 375mg | 12/13/2016 | 1 | Laparoscopy | heartburn, shortness of breath, diarrhea | I took it for five days, stoped it now for 2 days, but it's killing me!!!! I can't sleep at all because of the heartburn. I am soooo sad, because I was healthy, and now I feel I will never get better again! Because of this stupid drug I have experienced every pain that I never had before! DON'T TAKE IT! | F | 34 | 5 days 500 2X day | 2/13/2017 | 1 | Back ache | Flu symptoms, laryngitis, hoarseness, diarrhea, severe chest pain (rushed to hospital with suspected heart attack), blood in stool, (unexplained) bruising, bloating, heart burn, feeling that something is stuck in my throat/chest, acute thirst, very hungry, generally feeling dreadful! | It has now been 4 or 5 weeks at least since I stopped taking naproxen when I made the connection with loss of voice, flu symptoms and heartburn and diarrhea. Being rushed off in an ambulance with acute chest pain was terrifying. The diarrhea is still here, plus I now have blood in stool and still feeling of something stuck in my throat. I found a list of all my symptoms on the website detailing side effects associated with taking naproxen. The flu symptoms went away after the first week and so did hoarseness and voice problems but I'm wondering how long does it take to get this thing out of the system and get rid of all the other symptoms. Does naproxen just poison you and leave you to suffer indefinitely? Why are doctors still prescribing this chemical if they are aware of it's negative impact on the body? | F | 55 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/20/2016 | 1 | Muscle pain in lower back | Extreme anxiety. Tinnitus very bad. It has raised my blood pressure even now 9 days after ceasing the medication I felt all of these while on the medication but only after day 5 made the connection. I have missed 5 days of work because of the light-headedness and horrible Tinnitus. I will never touch this again. I took this some years ago and had the same symptoms but it was only this time round that I made the connection between this med and my symptoms. This med has caused me trips to a and e , two nights in hospital and doctors visits. Still not right 10 days on. Can't believe I was stupid enough to take it without reading about side effects. Hope they go away soon because my life is he'll at the moment.its like a waking nightmare. My symptoms headache,light-headedness,numbness in left hand,high BP, elevated heart rate. Pounding tinnitus. | Might work for some people but I would suffer with a leg hanging off than take one more of these. | M | 54 | 5 days 500 2X day | 5/12/2022 | 5 | Knee pain | Tingling in fingers and toes, belching and chest pains, heightened anxiety, tingling lips and constipation | It got rid of the pain in my knee but the side-effects were horrible I've stopped taking it | F | 56 | 6 days 500mg 2X day | 12/12/2021 | 4 | Muscle pain, and tension | Blurred vision, but could have been from my other medication. | Really helped in taking away the majority of the pain. | M | 25 | 6 days | 1/8/2003 | 3 | Plantar Fasciitis | Well the first few days the inflammation in my foot seemed to disperse. I was feeling better. My stomach began to bloat within a few hours of taking it. It wasn't until day 6 did the real pain hit. I was up all night. The pain was worse than contractions. At least with those I got a break. The next day I realized naproxen was the culprit and stopped taking it. | One week later now, my stomach is still bloated. No gas, no constipation. Just really bloated and uncomfortable. I've been eating small meals, I workout like crazy, but nothing seems to help. I'm healthy, other than the plantar fasciitis. This constant bloat started when I began napoxen. My diet (healthy) has not changed. | F | 35 | 6 days 350 2X day | 9/15/2015 | 2 | Bad back | Burning in stomach, upset stomach and nausea | F | 41 | 6 days 30 | 4/2/2015 | 1 | Pain in my left rib area | HORRIBLE 'MEDICATION' my stomach is rumbling and in pain all day. I keep passing gas and feel starving all the time even though I have ate. It makes me feel slightly sick and is making pains worse by it spreading over to the other side. My hand keeps going numb. This is not worth taking! It's been produced to slowly cause more problems | Never will I be taking this medication again. | F | 18 | 6 days 250mg | 6/18/2015 | 1 | Shoulder pain | Dizzy,stomach burning. Now i have to take omerprazole | M | 22 | 6 days 500mg | 9/12/2015 | 1 | Shoulder Arthroscopic Surgery | Diarrhea, stomach boating, nausea every morning | Horrible! | F | 57 | 6 days 500x2 day | 3/30/2016 | 1 | tendonitis | nausea, bloating, stomach pain, weight gain, dizziness, extreme fatigue. Still experiencing nausea 3 days after not taking anything. | Will never take again | F | 50 | 6 days 500 mg | 6/7/2015 | 1 | Arthritis | Heart palpitations after maybe the 2nd or 3rd dose. My pain was easing, but stopped med after about 6 days due to side effects. Two weeks later still having heart palpitations, dizziness and some ringing in ears. | F | 54 | 6 days 500 mg 2x | 7/14/2014 | 1 | Knee pain | Low mood, itching , terrible constipation, dark brown stinking urine. Totally unwell! | I would rather have had my leg cut off than feel the way I did while taking Naproxen! Disgusting drug (avoid at all costs) | M | 65 | 6 days 50 mg 2X day | 11/6/2020 | 1 | Hamstring pain | Vertigo, lightheaded, anxiety, and depression. | Horrible drug, a poison. I would rather deal with the hamstring pain any day. Been off it for 2 weeks and praying the side effects lift. | M | 40 | 6 days 500 mg x 2 | 5/12/2017 | 2 | Tibial Plateau Fracture | Immediately flighty, heart rate increase dramatically and feeling intense anxiety, difficulty sleeping as I experienced increased rate of hypnagogic hallucinations, induced nightmares (I typically never dream at all.) Waking up with weakness and stress. Hypertension headaches. This drug messed with me a lot, but it was the only thing that would really help my pain. I would recommend people who take naproxen to talk to your doctor/provider about alternate drugs if you experience these symptoms. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't a fantastic experience. | Does what it needs to do, but the side affects are very present. | M | 16 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 10/4/2023 |
