| 1 | Pelvic pain | This medicine has made me very I'll, stomach pains, so painful that I can't pick my 6month old up, sickness for days, needing to go to the bathroom with no warning!! Dry mouth, not being able to eat without being sick, pain in back and ribs. | F | 21 | 3 days 500mg | 7/16/2014 | 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 | Osteoarthritis | I was prescribed Naproxen due some pain in my fingers. I experienced mild tummy upset at first. By the 4th day of taking naproxen I became so sick. Unbearable pain in my stomach, nausea followed by vomiting. It is now 24 hours since I took my last dose and still have trouble eating due to pain in my stomach. I was only able to get some relief after taking some antacid medication. I will NEVER take this medication again. | F | 45 | 4 days 500mg 2X day | 7/13/2014 | 1 | shoulder bursitis | 3rd dose taken and am having extreme dizziness 4 hours after taking the pill. VERY thirsty/dry mouth also. Headache too. Not taking anymore doses of this medication. | F | 45 | 2 days 500mg | 6/29/2014 | 1 | Knee pain ?osteoarthritis | Worsening dizziness on day 4. | No side effects until waking up on day 4, when I felt slightly dizzy, light-headed and wobbly. I took that morning's dose after breakfast and with Omeprazole as prescribed but the dizziness became worse through the day so I've not taken any more and intend to ask GP for an alternative NSAID. During the short time I took it, it worked well as pain relief. | F | 58 | 3 days 500mg 2X day | 4/28/2014 | 1 | Osteoarthritis, shoulder pain | Blurry Vision | Didn't notice any pain relief for first week then noticed I could actually sleep on the same side of my painful shoulder. Last night I thought my TV set was failing but was horrified to realize that everything was as if I were underwater. It's been 24 hrs since last dose and vision seems a little bit less blurry. Going to see eye doctor for evaluation. I will not be taking this drug again. | M | 56 | 10 days 200mg 2X day | 4/11/2014 | 1 | Sprain in my AC Joint (shoulder) | This is my 5th time taking it and i always feel dizzy, and my stomach hurts.

It has been over 12 hours later and I am still experiencing abdominal pain. I'm even more frustrated now because I did not want to fill the prescription to begin with, my doc insisted that I trust her. | F | 35 | 1 days | 2/20/2014 | 2 | rheumatoid arthritis | Vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness. | When I took Naproxen years ago for back pain, I never had any side effects at all.

Slight blurring of vision when reading computer screen or print, but it's hard to tell if it's just that I feel like I'm on a merry-go-round and want to get OFF! I feel mildly nauseous but am so dizzy that I cannot function... just have to sit still (and ask everyone not to move too much as anything that moves/makes a noise seems to make me worse). I had the same reaction to Mobic/Meloxicam, another NSAID, which also gave me tinnitus. The tinnitus (ringing in ears) is starting to kick in with Naproxen too now. | I was so desperate for this to work as my arthritis pain is interferring with my ability to cope with the demands of 4 kids and being a teacher, plus the fact that we're going overseas on a holiday soon.
