Naproxen sodium (naproxen sodium) Side Effects, Uses Dosages
Side Effects for Naproxen sodium (naproxen sodium)
Helped relieve pain from my migraines BUT I did not know longterm use would screw me over... I now have gastritis and my stomach is in pain, especially when i'm hungry unless I take pepcid. Hopefully I'll be healed.
DO NOT take this longterm. Your stomach lining will suffer. Ask your doctor to prescribed you medication specifically for migraines. No more relying on the NSAID's over the counter meds.
I had been taking one dose of 440mg per day (2 pills) for my Fibromyalgia pain. It helped somewhat to kick the pain down a notch or so. Nothing spectacular. Then my doctor encouraged me to increase my dosage to 440mg twice a day (4 pills).I was really uneasy about doing this, because after taking the regular, lower dose for several days in a row (which I always try to avoid), I noticed severe diarrhea.But I decided to try double-dosing at my doctor's recommendation - and I have never been SO VIOLENTLY SICK with vomiting in my entire life!I would caution anyone taking this medication to ONLY take the LOWEST prescribed dosage (directions on the bottle say 1-2 pills every 12 hours).If your doctor increases your dosage of ANYTHING, take it with a grain of salt and do what's right for you! If you're already having symptoms at a lower dosage, it's probably a really bad idea to increase the dosage, no matter what medication it is!I feel really stupid for going ahead with double-dosing, even though my doctor told me it was alright. I knew in my gut that it was not, and I did it anyway. Serves me right I guess!
This Med. recently came up on a listing from my Doctor -- but I don't know what it is or what it treats ???I have not used it as yet.Can you describe to me it's ordinary purpose...
Only drug which works for me. Gets rid of the pain
I developed an inability to hold urine, also severe bruising even with simple pressure to the skin. I have permanently damaged my bladder.
I misunderstood the doctor's instructions, which were to take it twice a day. I did not know I was only supposed to take one, not two at a time. Also that twice a day meant every 12 hours instead of a 4 hour span. I felt it could have easily killed me from internal bleeding. I lost the protective lining in my bladder and after 15 years I still have blood in my urine. I can no longer take aspirin, ibuprofin or anything acidic that can irritate the bladder or thin the blood.
Severe vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and abdominal pain leading to a trip to the ER.

NAPROXEN SODIUM (NAPROXEN SODIUM): 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. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

I had to go off Cymbalta due to the expense. I have been off for 2 weeks and still have weepy, angry moments and the pain has returned. I hope I will be able to get help from something cheaper.
sick to my stomach all the time. gave me the runs after I ate every time. did nothing for my pain.
Mouth sores and nausea, vomiting. Can't be due to terrible taste which makes me vomit I feel nauseous, hallucinations which is something I have never had, extreme dizziness, confusion, insomnia, rash that goes off and on and basically feel like I zombie, can't even put a sentence together due to brain fog, extreme itchiness, headaches daily, extreme anxiety and agitation
I had terrible leg pain a few days after after the first shot. However, about a month later I had a herniated disc, so the leg pain might have been caused by the herniated disc and not the shot.
The first dose isn't as affective as the second dose so if your looking for fast relief of panic it dosn't really help, BUT ! unlike Xanax you won't get the feeling it gonna ware off.
I've only been on Tricor for about 5 months, but it's doing it's job, and I'm doing mine by exercising and improving my eating habits.
swollen gums- problems with teeth
I scream and cry for no reason. I am not myself and have alienated my friends and loved ones by driving them insane. I tried OTC and it broke out my face. OTC-lo did as well. I asked for a BC pill to combat the slight acne and now I am an emotional rollercoaser. It will probably clear your acne which you can appreciate on your own b/c no one will be around you to care. My best friend asked me, "Do you like being this person?" My answer? NO! And I'm off to find a new BC.
I really advise you not to take it. I don't even think it's worth a try. There are better and safer antibiotics out there for UTIs. I never used to believe these reviews/comments until I experienced it myself. I also never had bad side effects from other antibiotics until Bactrim. Stay away!
