| 1 | Arthritis in knee | Chest pain which gradually worsened and by day 10 I was experiencing waves of pain which kept me awake, nausea, headaches, general feeling of being unwell, burping, some diarrhoea. | Thought I was coming down with a chest infection or flu but as soon as I stopped the meds the pain started to ease. | F | 49 | 10 days 250mg 2X day | 1/5/2017 | 1 | Severe menstrual cramps | Dizziness, tinnitus, nausea, light-headedness and made me feel very disorientated | This drug did nothing but make me feel worse and had me sent home twice from nearly fainting in class. Wouldn't touch the stuff again as it's a bloody poison! | F | 17 | 5 days 2 x 375mg | 12/13/2016 | 1 | Gout | Severe vertigo. Still there 3 days after stopping the Naproxen. Gout better. Uncertain if this was due to the Naproxen or just the passage of time. | M | 74 | 3 days 1 gram | 10/27/2016 | 1 | Lower back pain | Light headed/ dizzy, shortness of breath. Not taking this again. | M | 29 | 1 days | 10/17/2016 | 1 | Back pain | After taking just ONE pill (After a full meal) i got the most awful painful stomach cramps, chest tightening and dizzy spells. I only got an hours sleep as the pain was too much and 24 hours later, i still feel awful. | I would rather live with my back pain then ever take one of these tablets again. If i still feel like this 24 hours after taking just one pill, i dread to think what this medication would do to my body long term. Avoid! | F | 27 | 1 days 250mg | 10/5/2016 | 1 | severe headaches | Worse headache, panic attacks, anxiety, felt like the start of a breakdown. Tingling face.Tight, numb head. | Never had anxiety before. Scary experience, panic attacks and side effects still ongoing 4 days later. Avoid at all costs! | F | 44 | 2 days 500mg 2X day | 9/22/2016 | 3 | Painful stiff neck | Rectal bleeding Dizziness | Took the edge off the pain in my neck enough to allow me to function during the day, but the dizziness and rectal bleeding I started noticing towards end of 2nd day is not worth continuing. I haven't taken anything since yesterday late afternoon, but am still feeling dizzy nearly 24hrs later. | F | 43 | 3 days 500 2X day | 9/2/2016 | 1 | Shoulder and neck inflammation | Blurred vision,feeling lighthead, dizziness, anxiety, constipation, dry mouth. | Took twice a day for bad inflammation. At first i thought the lightheaded and dizzy feelings were from the inflammation in my neck, but 5 days later i felt worse. I stopped taking this 2 days ago and still have the side effects, not as severe, but still there. | F | 33 | 8 days 250mg | 8/27/2016 | 1 | Back ache | Flu symptoms, laryngitis, hoarseness, diarrhea, severe chest pain (rushed to hospital with suspected heart attack), blood in stool, (unexplained) bruising, bloating, heart burn, feeling that something is stuck in my throat/chest, acute thirst, very hungry, generally feeling dreadful! | It has now been 4 or 5 weeks at least since I stopped taking naproxen when I made the connection with loss of voice, flu symptoms and heartburn and diarrhea. Being rushed off in an ambulance with acute chest pain was terrifying. The diarrhea is still here, plus I now have blood in stool and still feeling of something stuck in my throat. I found a list of all my symptoms on the website detailing side effects associated with taking naproxen. The flu symptoms went away after the first week and so did hoarseness and voice problems but I'm wondering how long does it take to get this thing out of the system and get rid of all the other symptoms. Does naproxen just poison you and leave you to suffer indefinitely? Why are doctors still prescribing this chemical if they are aware of it's negative impact on the body? | F | 55 | 5 days 500 mg 2X day | 8/20/2016 | 1 | Arithist pain | I hand a hand operation to remove arthritic bone.

The second one I took after a few beers (not recommended)! PS I have duodenal ulcers and been taking lansoprazole for years to reduce stomach acid.
