| 1 | Neck disc issue | Anxiety, depression, decreased appetite, insomnia | If you must take this drug beware foggy brain, dizziness, emotional outbursts and stop immediately. It's been a week and I'm still light headed, dizzy, feeling terrible. | M | 46 | 4 days 500 | 4/13/2019 | 1 | Swollen knee from bursitis | Very low mood and highly emotional! Head full of cotton wool. Chest tightness. Awful pulsing waves of stomach pain on 4th day on left side. Poor sleep. Tired and lethargic. Visual issues. Dizzy and spaced out disorientated 15 - 120 mins after taking dose. | I stopped taking it yesterday because of bad stomach pain which has been gradually going off today. Clinician said to take 1 tablet twice a day, and then to increase to 2 tablets twice or 1 three times. Gave me 2 x 28 tablet packets & said should be better in 2-3 weeks. Surely this contradicts NHS online advice to take lowest dose for shortest time. If I hadn't looked it up online I wouldn't have known my experiences were so widely shared. Leaflet isn't clear on all side effects and doesn't say that they can continue after stopping taking it. Knee is a little less swollen but pain is still there when I walk. | F | 48 | 4 days 250MG 2X day | 3/13/2019 | 1 | Joint and muscle pain | I have been keeping a food chart to determine the cause of my nausea, stomach pain and lack of appetite. When I stopped taking the naproxen, the symptoms went away. I always took it with food. | Bad stuff. Didn't really help with my pain. | F | 63 | 20 days 500 mg | 11/23/2018 | 1 | prostate swelling from infection | Stomach pain after three pills. Severe constipation and bloating. Unable to pass anything but gas. Nausea and dry heaves (not eating much). | M | 52 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/8/2018 | 5 | Back pain | None (pain went away) | F | 50 | 1 days 500 | 4/22/2018 | 3 | 1X day | 4/4/2018 | 1 | Knee inflammation | Flu symptoms.Tight chest.Headache. Sleepy.Loss of appetite. Reflux. Dizzy.Chills.Fever/hot flushes. Emotional. | Took one tablet in evening with food. Woke up feeling tight-chested. Took no more doses. Ok for a couple of hours then flu feeling. Lasted 2 days. 3rd night got reflux and still got headache. Killed pain in knee but think I'm seriously allergic so going back to GP for alternative. Be very careful before taking numerous doses, I think if I'd carried on taking this tablet I might have put myself in hospital. | F | 51 | 1 times 500 | 4/2/2018 | 1 | Knee swelling from injury and arthritis | Horrible stomach cramps diarrhea muscle cramps. Cramps so bad could not stand or even touch stomach | Anti-inflammatory drugs are killing record numbers of people in the states and hospitalizing hundreds every day when will they control them | M | 62 | 1 weeks | 12/24/2017 | 1 | My legs are swollen | Swollen legs,shortness of breath.I will never take this drug ever. | I wasted money,cause it's in the garbage can | F | 55 | 3 days | 10/26/2017 | 1 | Back pain and menstrual cramps | Dizziness , spinning , nausea ,migraines , equilibrium off , foggy brain , crying , | If you can avoid taking this drug all together , do. I am now never going to touch it again . I was having back and period pain simultaneously and took two every few hours for a week . Nothing helped Ruth the pain but this . Next time , I would rather suffer through any pain than be sick for over three weeks from it . The poisoning side effects have yet you go away but I'm praying . | F | 34 | 7 days | 9/7/2017 | 1 | Back Pain | OMG Husband is so sick. Can't stand up room spinning, Laying down just makes him sick. Sick both ends. | Would have thought Doctor could have warned side effects could be bad considering the amount of people on this site alone, yes you read the leaflet but then all tablets carry side effects. Makes it worse that he just finished 2 weeks leave with his new company and now has to go sick. DO-NOT TOUCH THIS TABLET. | M | 54 | 2 days 500 2X day | 9/4/2017 | 1 | Headaches | Within half an hour I felt sedated to the point that I was scared. Could barely talk or move had to lie down. Felt quite high and out of it. Fell asleep. When I woke up was the scary part I didn't know where I was or why I was there. I was in my own bedroom. Now I am anxious that it will happen again. Horrendous. Never ever again will I take naproxen. | Don't risk it. It's not worth it. Horrendous side effects. Very scary. Would not recommend particularly bad if you suffer from anxiety. | F | 30 | 1 days 100mg | 8/6/2017 | 4 | lower back pain | Gas and constipation | Pill contains lactose (milk) and I can't digest milk. Will be taking lactase enzyme with the pills from now on. No wonder I had horrible bloating. Also, bruise easily. But, it improves the pain immensely. | F | 61 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 7/19/2017 | 1 | Costochondritis | Indigestion, heartburn, bloating, fast heart rate, anxiety from fast heart rate, mouth ulcers, belching | I was prescribed to take 500mg twice a day for two weeks. I have been fighting these symptoms not even putting two and two together! Very scary drug. Will never take again I'd rather be in pain...oh wait it didn't even help with pain just made everything else in my body seem weird and like I'm dying. I haven't taken one for three days now and still have lingering side effects. | F | 24 | 12 days 500 mg | 5/30/2017 | 1 | Hamstring pain | Vertigo, lightheaded, anxiety, and depression. | Horrible drug, a poison. I would rather deal with the hamstring pain any day. Been off it for 2 weeks and praying the side effects lift. | M | 40 | 6 days 500 mg x 2 | 5/12/2017 | 1 | Migraine headaches | Severe heartburn and indigestion which bored through my back. Couldn't sleep all night until later the next afternoon. Caused weakness, nausea/vomiting, disorientation, dizziness, pain, back pain, anxiety, tinnitus, fever, chills and sweats, blurred vision, pain in joints, flu-feelings, runny nose and breathlessness and the list goes on. | I have pre-existing Ehlers-Danlos type 3, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, IBS and neuropathic pain, so not a well person anyway. I only took one 250mg tablet after my dinner. By bedtime (midnight) I had indigestion/heartburn, which got progressively worse (I had severe stomach and back pain). I was writhing around trying to get comfortable and couldn't. I have never felt pain like that, even surgery was less painful. The pain only eased by 2.00pm the next afternoon. I have been left, 4 days later, with blurred vision, nerve pain/shooting pains all over and joint pain.nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lack of appetite, shaking, headaches, sore eyes, sleep disturbance, weakness, stomach and bowel upset, constipation and diarrhoea, confusion, tinnitus, balance problems, runny nose, sinusitis, flu-like feelings and much more. I am seriously concerned about this drug and as someone who has underlying health problems, this has left me even more unwell. I cannot currently leave the house and have had to cancel one medical appointment. I am sensitive to drugs and foods and this was explained to my GP and no proton pump inhibitor was prescribed with it. Votarol Retard in the past made my stomach bleed, but Ibuprofen is just about tolerable. I thought it was worth trying, never realising the consequences. I hope these symptoms go as I cannot face eating and I hope I won't miss my cardiology appointment. I seriously would advise people to think carefully before they take this. | F | 56 | 1 days 250 3X day | 5/3/2017 | 1 | Arthritis | Nausea & constipation (have been physically sick) breathless - tight chest & coughing Worst of all severe chills from head to toe every night. Restless sleep all night. Feeling wretched every night. | The chills & other symptoms even lead me to ask for blood test for diabetes. Arthritis- not a lot of difference to plain ibuprofen ( which I can't tolerate either). After reading other symptoms I will not take any more. | F | 64 | 15 days 500 1X day | 4/16/2017 | 1 | Back pain spondylolisthesis | Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea....now four days after stopping and still feel like i have motion sickness...took plain advil yesterday and feels like it's interacting with leftover in my system. Combined with flexeril | F | 36 | 10 days 50 | 3/25/2017 | 2 | For Osteoarthritis in my knee. | Severe abdominal pain. Swelling in feet, ankles and legs, black tarry stools!! | It did help with my knee pain but now I probably have an ulcer as a result of having to take it for several months! | F | 64 | 1 days | 2/19/2017 | 1 | Laparoscopy | heartburn, shortness of breath, diarrhea | I took it for five days, stoped it now for 2 days, but it's killing me!!!! I can't sleep at all because of the heartburn. I am soooo sad, because I was healthy, and now I feel I will never get better again! Because of this stupid drug I have experienced every pain that I never had before! DON'T TAKE IT! | F | 34 | 5 days 500 2X day | 2/13/2017 |
