NAPROXEN  (NAPROXEN):  See also Warning section. Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, muscle aches, tendonitis, dental pain, and menstrual cramps. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. Check the ingredients on the label even if you have used the product before. The manufacturer may have changed the ingredients. Also, products with similar names may contain different ingredients meant for different purposes. Taking the wrong product could harm you.   FDA Approval Date: 1993-12-21 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Was prescribed for muscle pain&stiffness Was prescribed Naproxen 500 4 days ago by my doctor to take twice a day with food for seven days then stop, and notify him of how it had been working or not for my pain and condition. I have been afraid to take it especially after reading the reviews and side effects. I can't be knocked down from this. Went through enough with my body adjusting to Levothyroxine for my hypothyroidism. I don't understand why I can't just take store bought Aleve which works just fine for my pain. Would rather suffer the pain than the debilitating side effects I have read about. Patients should be monitered with their doctor in the room immediately after taking this medication if it causes such horrible side effects. Not taking it now!! NO WAY!!!!! Haven't even started this medication, and will not trust it!! F 48 1 days

 1  Trapped nerve in neck Dizziness, racing heart, dry mouth and constant sickness. I was advised to take 2 naproxen followed with 2 zapain, taken about 20 minutes apart on a full stomach. Within 30 minutes the room started spinning, I couldn't walk, my heart and breathing were erratic and my stomach was bloated and I had heart burn. I haven't taken another dose as I'm still feeling sick and tired 2 days later. These tablets are awful! I will not be taking them ever again. M 35 1 days

 1  Head oain Shortness of breath, feeling sick, very dizzy, weird cold sensations through the body, diahorria, light headed, shaky feeling throughout the body It was to treat the tension in my head, and although it helped it, it brought on a load of unpleasant side effects.

 1  Damaged knee ligaments Took naproxen for 2 days, Felt like I had trapped wind and for the past 3 nights now I've been getting pains in my chest that have woke me up because they are so bad, had slight headaches and upper back pain I've since stopped taking them and feel slightly better but still terrible (If that makes sense) these are absolutely awful and I wouldn't recommend them to a dying animal if it would help them ..The worse medication I have ever taken in my life which is ruining my day to day life at the moment Do not use under any circumstances in my experience it didn't help the situation at all just caused a whole new catalogue of problems M 28 2 days

 1  Pain, perhaps sciatica Anxiety, dizziness, loss of appetite I began taken Naproxen four days ago, and I have never experienced worse side effects of a drug. After a day, I was experiencing intense anxiety. I had horrible intrusive thoughts and intense panic. I have always had problems with anxiety (which my doctor never mentioned or asked me about when prescribing the medicine) but nothing as sudden as this. It was basically a sudden breakdown, and I had some thoughts of suicide.I stopped taking the drug today, and I've felt a bit better but still on edge. The dizziness and loss of appetite are manageable and not quite as alarming. It's possible that there were other causes, but I will NOT be taken this medication again. F 18 4 days
500 MG 2X day

 1  Pain in my left rib area HORRIBLE 'MEDICATION' my stomach is rumbling and in pain all day. I keep passing gas and feel starving all the time even though I have ate. It makes me feel slightly sick and is making pains worse by it spreading over to the other side. My hand keeps going numb. This is not worth taking! It's been produced to slowly cause more problems Never will I be taking this medication again. F 18 6 days

Constipated, bloated and SEVERE stomach ache. Hunger pangs even though I'd eaten. Only took these for two days. Pain caused by these was worse than my original pain. Would never take these again. F 52 2 days
