| 4 | Shoulder tendonitus | Extreme drowsiness. | This drug was not "supposed" to make me drowsy, but it did so I had to take it only at night. It did not have to necessarily be at bedtime; I could watch TV. But I couldn't do anything else. It might not have been just the Naprosyn, since I was taking Flexeril and Tylenol w/codeine too. But I had severe pain and partial loss of my range of motion. These medications were needed so I could do the painful exercises to regain my mobility. I think I took it about 2 weeks. | F | 46 | 2 weeks | 5/24/2008 | 3 | elbow bursitis from injury | Extreme sleepiness!! This stuff knocked me out! | F | 40 | 14 days | 3/12/2008 | 2 | Endometriosis and cramps | Burns the throat when not swallowed really quick. | Doesn't work for period pains unless you have "mild" cramps. If you have cramps on a pain scale of 3-10 it won't do anything. | F | 22 | 2 years | 2/25/2008 | 2 | arthritis in the hips | no side effects | I think this drug is worthless. Doesn't help me at all | F | 35 | 10 months | 2/14/2008 | 1 | Shoulder Joint Pain | Red, itchy red blothes over 70% of my body -- and I only took 2 pills | It did take care of the shoulder pain, but the shoulder pain was a blessing compared to the constant itching that lasted for 5 days after I stopped taking it. | M | 57 | 1 days | 1/22/2008 | 1 | menstrual cramps/breast pain | None | This was like taking nothing at all. It didn't touch my cramps or the breast pain that occurs before menstruation. Taking ibuprofen (which still doesn't eliminate the cramping pain)does more for the cramps than this stuff. I've taken darvocet in the past for cramps and those actually worked, I think my doctor is afraid to prescribe them for me though because he is worried I might be a druggie or something. Maybe naprosyn works for some people, but this has done NOTHING for me. | F | 32 | 30 days | 1/21/2008 | 3 | bone spurs | sore arms and legs | M | 56 | 2 months | 1/8/2008 | 2 | Pain after removal of bursar in hip | Weight gain, bloating, dry and itchy skin, unpleasant feelings in stomach | I managed to lose 6 kilos in the 3 months prior to my surgery which was removing the bursar from the hip area which was being performed due to 5 years of pain, ceasing long walks and giving up tennis. 6 weeks after surgery I was put on Naprosyn 500, twice a day and immediately started putting on weight, experiencing dry itchy skin and stomach bloating although I was definitely taking the medication with food as instructed. I now weigh in at the heaviest I have ever been in my entire life. All in all I do not feel that this medication is worth taking. | M | 57 | 2 months | 12/12/2007 | 1 | cramps | I developed a stomach ulcer because of this drug. | I used this drug several times a month for over twenty years. It relieved my cramps really well. I now have a ulcer due to this drug. My doctor told me I was safe from the side effects because I didn't use it everyday. WRONG!!! BEWARE of this drug! | F | 49 | | 12/7/2007 | 2 | sore muscles, to help sleep | similar to a hangover: woke up early AM with dry mouth, next morning was groggy with mild headache and a foggy head that day. | It did releive the muscle pain. Did not help my sleep. | M | 51 | 1 days | 10/9/2007 | 5 | Shoulder aches and pains | None to date.. | I can move my shoulders (pain free) and I can finally sleep thru the night and feel refreshed in the morning. | M | 60 | 14 days | 9/10/2007 | 5 | to get high | I got high | it gets you high | M | 14 | 5 years | 8/30/2007 | 1 | rotator cuff / possible SLAP tear | Dizziness/loss of balance so bad I could not walk and vomited. Milder dizzy episodes followed. Mild stomach pain. A positive heme during my gynecological exam. Photosensitivity. Increase in blood pressure (low BP prior, 110/70). Muscle cramping, mostly at night, but also during the day in calves extending down to my toes (not a potassium deficiency). | Took the conservative route for my shoulder - Naprosyn and physical therapy. Amazed that my doctors did not discuss side effects. Thank God for the internet! Did reduce pain somewhat. Too many side effects to continue with this med - stopped taking it. | F | 52 | 4 months | 8/27/2007 | 5 | arthuritis | M | 74 | | 6/10/2007 | 3 | Hip pain | Dry mouth. Extreme facial burning & flushing. | As a pain treatment Naprosyn has been great. However the facial burning & flushing is completely unacceptable. On to something new & hopefully less problematic! | F | 42 | 4 months | 4/13/2007 | 1 | Knee pain | Extreme stomach pain! I feel that I may even have developed an ulcer because of it... | I am pissed off that a doctor would prescribe this drug to me without describing the side effects AND without first asking me if I am prone to stomach distress. | M | 34 | 1 days | 2/1/2007 | 1 | broken foot | severe stomach pain | M | 56 | | 1/13/2007 | 1 | Headaches and migraines | -stomach issues: more uncomfortable than painfull | -I was prescribed Naprosyn for numerous headaches, it did almost nothing -I don't recomend it for people who suffer from headaches, the ironic thing is that in the side effects listed for naprosyn, they say it may cause headaches, go figure. | F | 17 | | 12/31/2006 | 1 | for arthritis | After taking 1 220mg.tablet daily for about 8 weeks I became dizzy offbalance and I felt so sick that I could not go anywhere. Yes it helped my joint pain some but the side effects felt like they were killing me.!!! Please beware! | F | 54 | 2 months | 11/9/2006 | 4 | Muscle pain in upper arm | I get chills which is strange considering it's 101 degree's outside and I've been getting nose bleeds often. But...the pain is gone and that's a plus! | F | 39 | 5 days | 7/28/2006 |
