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  Shoulder pain following car crash Extreme heartburn, stomach cramps Ongoing (every 5 minutes, even after stopping medication after only taking it twice)! Nausea. Light headed. Side effects after first dose, heartburn all night. Couldn't sleep. Nauseous. Side effects after second dose next morning (with breakfast), had to go to work, stomach cramps, chest pain, nauseous. That was the last dosage I had. That early evening my continuous stomach cramps and chest pain were so bad that I went for emergency appointment at GP, they immediately took ECG, but found it was side effects of taking Naproxen, even after only taking 2 doses. Put me on 20mg Omeprazole, twice daily, still have stomach cramps extremely bad every 5 minutes, 2 days later after stopping doses. Nausea has lessened. Heartburn still constant. Would never take this again. EVER! F 27 2 times

 2  Knee tendon popping/ tender pain Anxiety, confusion, dry mouth, paranoia, racing heart, insomnia I started taking Naproxen late afternoon yesterday on a full stomach. I had no stomach/ nausea issues with the first pill, but began to feel rather anxious and disoriented 15 to 20 minutes after taking it. The rest of the evening I felt off with anxious thoughts. I took a second pill before bed thinking it would make me sleepy & reduce anxiety- unfortunately did the opposite...I've been up all night with a dry mouth & racing heart. My pain has reduced but the side effects have been pretty alarming. I don't know that I'll be continuing with/ taking this medication again. F 25 2 days

DO NOT take this medication. It has caused me so much more issues than I've ever experienced with a medication.

 3  heel spur was cutting into tendon Took first dose with food and attempted to finish the last 4 hours of my work shift. Was dizzy, nauseated and very sleepy. When I woke up in the morning I had bloody drool all over my pillow, I could not find a cut in my mouth to account for it. I took my next dose with food and began getting dizzy and nauseated, this time with vomiting and noticed I was vomiting up some pinkish and red colors, I'd eaten scrambled eggs and had a glass of milk, nothing red. I took the next dose that night simply because I was liking not having intense pain in my foot even if the nausea and vomiting was troublesome. I continued to vomit with red stuff but when my urine started being pink I decided I better quit the dosage on the 3rd day, which was the 4th dose I'd taken. I attempted a lesser dose of Naproxen Sodium in the OTC version of 220 mg thinking it was just to strong a dose for me. The nausea continued at a lesser dosage and still having bloody urine on day 4. So I can say that yes the medicine did help with the problem, but the side effects caused me to stop treatment using this particular class of drug. F 34 3 days
