User Reviews for Naproxen

I have a fractured rib and clavicle. The clavicle is going to need surgery in order to have it repaired. I was prescribed Percocet when I was released from the emergency room. Unfortunately I went back to my doctor (nurse practitioner) and she decided to prescribe this garbage for my pain. Thank God for the sleeping effect. Can't wait to meet with the orthopedic surgeon might have a clue what kind of pain I'm in. Why are there suits against the drug companies not against the doctors with regards of the opioid crisis? It's the doctor's responsibility determine what is right and what is wrong for the patient not the drug company. Take some f****** responsibility. Yeah they're going to under prescribe to make up for it - losers.Read More Read Less

If a doctor perscribes this for anything than a headache he is a quak. Or getting paid by Neproxin.

I have fibromyalgia and was prescribed naproxen and an antidepressant. The naproxen doesn't completely relieve the pain, but it does take the edge off and allow me to do most things I want to do. It doesn't make me sleepy. I have had a problem with intestinal bleeding with the naproxen and have had to stop taking it for periods of time.

the first pill put me to sleep. I actually woke up in less pain. the next day I took another dose and i feel sick, anxiety, stress, no sleep, more pain, tired, plain out a ton of pain, I can move my neck and pain is now radiating, odd heart beat. it was just aweful.

Reaction to medication, trouble swallowing, raw tongue, sores enter mouth.

Prescribed for stiffness and muscle pain that might be an auto-immune response, this RX is like a placebo. No effect whatever. Pain has gotten worse.

It worked like magic when i first started taking it but 10 months later starting from 1 and growing to 3 500mg pills a day it lost all of it's effectiveness. I'm now scrambling to fins something that works :(

Having endometriosis, this anti-inflammatory really helps very little. Just enough to take the edge off the bad pains. I have to eat with this drug, if i don't it effects my stomach terribly. Depending on the severity of cramps, menstural pain, and for those others with endo, i would recommend trying this (as a good thing it's helped my body aches lessen) Personally, i found it slightly helpful, but i wish it could do more for my constantly inflammed insides.

I am 61 years old,have arthritis in upper back.tried tramadol,did not work.I started naproxen it took about 10 days before it kick in.It works great for me.one in the morning and one at bedtime.The tramadol works great on herniate disc in lower back.

I began using naproxen 2 years ago after fainting from menstrual cramp pains. Since then I have never been close to feeling that type of pain as long as I take the pills at the first feeling of the cramps.

i have had pain since i was 13 from a car accident i was on a bike when hit .recently these people assulted me and stuff and i was perscribed this by the hospital. i was hit in the left jaw with a metal gun barrel and i have t.m.j. in my left jaw getting away i suffered a dental injury on my bottom right jaw area. but on a daily basis i have back rib chest and neck pain from the accident when i was 13 problem. at the hospital i was prescribed this medication and 3 days later zilch nothing its completely ineffective for any pain at all. it made me sluggish and tired and that's it. i get migraines from a subdural hematoma to daily. no effect. for high levels of pain and serious permanent injuries or dental pain or t.m.j. wont help at all.Read More Read Less

I am a 24 year old male with 2 herniated disks on my lower back with multiple disk degeneration on several other disks from mostly military injuries. Pain ranges from 6 to 9 on the pain scale some days are worse then others, I was prescribed 500mg Naproxen twice a day with meals and this medication does absolutely nothing for me.

I was diagnosed with Inflammatory Arthritis at age 52. The pain is unbearable and i lost 50%-60% mobility in most major joints. Was prescribed Naproxen 375mg enteric coated and taken with meals. Worked great for 3 days ... then stomach ache so bad I couldn't eat. Since I couldn't eat ... I couldn't take the Naproxen. Since trying to use Naproxen to manage Arthritis pain, I have lost 12 lbs b/c I have upset stomach all the time. It is like throwing your stomach under the bus to save your joints. Worse, I think one becomes tolerant to the drug. It no longer works and I am sick of the stomach pain and unlike most people ... I was thin to start with and seriously worried if I loose any more weight b/c I can't eat from taking this stuff. I also got dizzy spells and minor headaches, but I would have put-up with that. It is the stomach damage which put me off Naprolxen.Read More Read Less

The doctor prescribed this only two times a day for the pain in my feets and shoulder is Ben great tray not to abuse it for my stomach but is great

1st dose eased the pain in back right away. Taken 2xday. Replaced 3 other pain medicine.

Naproxen 500mg is 100% effective, when taken with Cyclobenzaprine 5mg.

Did not help with the pain. Had terrible stomach pains and feeling sick,upset stomach . Even taking with food.

After trying various medicines for back pain this really worked for me. I've had three back surgeries and It's good to have it around.
