Stop taking this. | Great for pain, not if you have psoriasis!!! | F | 59 | 7 days 220mg | 10/9/2015 | 1 | Headache | Took away the headache faster then any med I had taken in the past. 1 hour after taking I began getting itchy palms, then the bottoms of my feet started itching, then the itching moved to my legs. I had this type of reaction before but did not think it was from the Aleve. I just took a bit of Benydryl and it had gone away.This time I knew it was the Aleve. I was with my boss and asked him to get me to a pharmacy as fast as possible to get some liquid Benydryl. By the time we had gotten to a pharmacy my whole body was red and itchy, Everything around me had gone white. I could no longer see. I could not talk but I could hear muffled noises, He went through the drive through and they rushed to get the Benedryl he poured some into my mouth and within a few minutes my hearing, sight, and everything came back. I really should have gone to a hospital but he did what I asked him to do before all went down. A few hours later I had projectile vomiting then all was better.

The sores are also on my outer lips as well as the inside of my throat. | I can't eat or barely drink anything, and I'm on steroids. I didn't have any known allergies before taking the medicine. It hurts like none other to use the restroom, and I had to be rushed to the ER. The doctor said I was close to going into anaphylactic shock, and needless to say I will never be taking aleve again. (PS it didn't even get rid of my headache) | F | 18 | 1 days 220 mg | 9/13/2015 | 5 | Frequent headaches and migraines | When I take more than 5 or 6 tablets a week I sometimes experience stomach pain. | I get headaches and/or migraines multiple times a week, I'm lucky to wake up without one.

Ugly and faded slowly over 2+ weeks. | F | 80 | 3 weeks ? 2X day | 8/27/2015 | 3 | Menstrual Cycle Pain | Nausea and vomiting | I've been taking Alleve for years with no side effects. Over the past 4 months, everytime I've taken Aleve for my cycle (Only my cycle), it results in me getting severe nausea and vomiting. I get sciatic pain here and there, rarely so I take one 220mg tablet when I do without side effects.

Also a pressure headache from all the fluid in my sinuses, and the sound of popping in my ears from fluid pressing on them. Also made my eyes red and bloodshot. Triggered wheezing from my usual asthma. At this point, I'm scared of taking ANY NSAID again! | F | 30 | 1 times 220 mg 1X day | 6/11/2015 | 5 | Period and pain from boxing | I have had nothing but greatness with this yes I'm 13 and a boxer and I fight 18 year old boys and get knocked around a lot I also have a very heavy period it is a medical condition and I have it for 1 week but it gets heavier and heavier as the week progresses and I go through a giant purple over night pad in 10 mins and I where those as my regular throughout the day pads my mom asked the doctor if there is anything I can take to at least take the pain away and he said aleve but don't get your hopes up that it will work and I took a aleve That day and that night it was lighter and I have been taking ever since and my period is lighter to were I go through a gian purple pad every hour and I couldn't be any happier it really works because now can at least somewhat have a life outside of the bathroom | I love aleve | F | 13 | 1 years 1 pill | 6/6/2015 | 5 | Psin | Non | Have severe back pain Alene has saved my life | M | 19 | 1 days | 5/31/2015 | 1 | back pain | feeling faint, lightheaded, dizzy, blurry vision, ringing in ears, high blood pressure and pulse.
