About 15 minutes after, I felt intense itching in my feet and hands that couldn't be alleviated. My breathing when shallow and rapid and I asked my husband to take my BP as I thought it might be up, it was so far down; 65/48. After about 10 minutes on the bed, I tried to get up and passed out on the floor but my husband said my eyes were wide open and glazed over. When I came to, I couldn't get up, so he called 911 and I spent the night in the emergency room. Received benadryl, fluids and steroid shots. | F | 48 | 2X O | 10/28/2014 | 5 | Arthritis knee pain | No side effects | Aleve has been great for relieving my knee pain.

Once i got to work and parked i just started feeling really weird and my eyes felt itchy my lips where tingly and i noticed my arms and chest where so red they almost looked purple. It spread over my whole body and was really itchy and i just didnt feel right i took benedryl and after about 30 mins the redness started to fade.

This event lasted for over 5 days. The stress of this event was just as damaging as the physical affect. Explaining the scar tissue on my penis to my girlfriend at the time was embarrassing. This product should be taken off the market. | M | 40 | 1 days 2tablets | 5/28/2014 | 1 | Minor muscle pain | I have never had a suicidal thought in my life except for a few hours after taking an Aleve. I sat in a corner, wouldn't talk or move, and wanted to die. I was not in pain, I was just unbelievably depressed. This was 10 years ago and I am still horrified when I think about it! | F | 54 | 1 days 1 pill 1X day | 4/30/2014 | 5 | ADHD | I'm throughly amazed that this drug actually helps me pay attention at work. At first i didnt notice because i needed it for the headaches. But then it dawned on me; I'm not doing other stuff. I'm actually doing my job in a way as if i like what im doing and not falling asleep totally weird. This has been the best Neutropic yet. | M | 24 | 2 days 220 1X day | 4/10/2014 | 1 | Migraine | I took this med along with a chewable aspirin that I take every day. In 30 minutes I had sore muscles and tiredness. In a few hours, I was completely bed ridden. Every muscle in my body was tense and painful. I had chills and nausea. I took a warm bath and it seemed to help my muscles relax. In an hour, more pain occurred followed by a low grade fever. I was afraid to take a benedryl considering it may cause anotherreaction. Because I was in so much pain, I took a muscle relaxer. It calmed my muscles and my body got rest.The next day I was still bed ridden with no energy and no appetite. Finally ate something that evening and had bad indigestion. I will never take this crap again. Honestly, child birth was easier than this! | F | 40 | 1 times 1 pill | 4/2/2014 | 1 | dental work | Blister like hives. The first time I didn't even realize I had an allergic reaction because less than I week later I got shingle and my Dr. thought the hives were part of the shingles but then a few weeks later it happened again so we knew it was an allergic reaction. A few days ago had dental work done and took two berofe the anesthesia wore off and within an hour I was itchy and without even scratching I developed hive in my neck, eyelid, under my arm, under my breast . | F | 34 | 1X day | 3/31/2014 | 1 | HIP PAIN | Tiredness, depression, nite sweats, pounding heart beat, itchy blisters on hand and cracked skin, hives on back, red dots near eyes on face, arms broke out, runny nose, genital itching, pain when urinating, slight bleeding on TP, blurred vision, increased ringing in ears, slight weight gain, anxiety, nightmares, under the skin bleeding on lower arm- that did it! Am off it for 3 days now, and all above clearing up!! | Had taken Aleve once before years ago, and it did not help pain at all. But no side effects. The first few days I took it this time, all pain gone, but on 9th day pain back worse. After all I experienced now, I didn't make the connection until the under skin bleeding showed up for no reason! It looked like a purple birth mark 1x1 1/2 inch.THEN I went on line for side effects and realized connection. I had taken it 6 days, then off 3, then 6 days again, when all of the side effects started really bothering me. Never had allergic reactions to any pill before, and do not take medicine regularly. Just started taking Ibuprophen for hip pain this year, thought Aleve was stronger...oh it was alright...in the wrong way!! Pay Attention to ANY medication you take. (I am 5'2, 125 lbs, only took 1 a day) | F | 63 | 12 days 220 MG 1X day | 3/29/2014 | 1 | foot injury | I wish I'd never touched this drug. Worked for quite awhile for my foot injury, but it must have reached the tipping point because I almost died. Water retention led to extremely high blood pressure (260/110), vision loss in right eye for over a year due to bulging blood vessel. It's been a very long climb up. BEWARE OF NSAIDS. | F | 61 | 2 years 220 mg. 2X AN | 3/20/2014 |
