| 3 | Arthritis | Insomnia, weepiness, forgetfulness, irritability. | Worked well on neck pain. Side effects made life intolerable. Stopped. | F | 63 | 21 days 220 mg/day | 6/25/2017 | 1 | Back muscle and shoulder pain | Went to the doctor for back muscle pain that was radiating to my shoulder and front chest. Physicians Assistant laughed at me when I said I wanted an x-ray. She gave me a prescription for naproxen 250mg twice a day and also a muscle relaxer called Baclofen 10mg three times a day. I took both the first day and the pain immediately went away. I took them again that evening and I started getting an upset stomach and nausea. That night at bedtime, I was in full blown stomach cramps (felt like child labor). The cramps were combined with spasms and I had diarrhea all night. The spasms and stomach cramps didn't go away either. It's now morning and the cramping is still happening. I now have to wait until the medication gets out of my system. I am not taking either medication anymore. The pain immediately came back but I don't care. The cramping is worse than the back pain. I looked up the side effects for both medications and they are horrible. Not worth it. I do not trust the medications doc | F | 57 | 1 days 250 2X day | 12/31/2016 | 5 | Pain associated with torn ligament | Been using for half a year now. Very helpful as physical therapy isn't yielding any results. Hopefully will be able to use up until my surgery. | Still in use | F | 16 | 500 MG 2X day | 5/28/2016 | 1 | sacroiliac joint pain | The doctor gave these with lansoprazole. Took one in the morning. By mid afternoon I was able to walk with an aid, but only to the toilet as by this time I had severe diarrhea. Took a whole box of immodium to try and stop it to no effect. Took one more dose of naproxen. Back to the loo for a few more hours! It was great being able to walk, however not much good if the only place you can walk to is the toilet. !! | F | 50 | 1 days 500 2X day | 5/25/2016 | 1 | Arthritis | Severe chest pains, headaches, lightheaded, indigestion, belching, ringing in ears, anxiety, extreme tiredness, constipation, extreme tightness in chest. | Stopped taking the drug after third day as the inflammation to my right knee had gone away. Then began to suffer with the symptoms described. Pain in chest progressively got worse over the next few days, eventually ended up in A&E with a suspected heart attack! I am now nine days on from taking them and things are still not right. Still got most of the symptoms but they have begun to ease. It was only after going to hospital that I began to wonder if Naproxen might be the cause, and after reading on the web about all the side effects I am now convinced that this is the cause. I am now waiting to see if and how long it will take for my body to recover, reading some of the comments from other users, I am very worried that some of them might be permanent. | M | 61 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 3/20/2016 | 1 | penis pain | Psycosis, depression, brain fog, pacing around, confusion, vision issies, tinnitus | I think this got me hospitalized | M | 24 | 2 days 500 | 10/2/2015 | 1 | Neck and back pain | About 2 hours after taking this tablet I started vomiting, dry wretching still.

Never again! | F | 28 | 1 days 1 500mg | 9/18/2015 | 3 | Chronic shoulder pain | Awful stomach pains wake me in middle of night. | The agonising pains happen everytime I try take these tablets,even they were swallowed with a meal each time. It feels like terrible gastroenteratis cramping and feeling nauseous too. I do not get stomach pains from normal ibruprofen type medicine. Will not take again as pain is worth then reason for taking the drugs. | F | 40 | 1 days 500mg 2X day | 11/9/2014 | 1 | Sprained Wrist | Terrible stomach pains, heartburn and intestinal cramps.

Suddenly, I am very sick, constipated, feel like vomiting, have black stools, and so bloated, I like to die.

NAPROSYN (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.
