| 1 | Arthritis, finger sweeling | Makes me more tired, somtimes get red dots when I take them. Dosn't even work. | M | 25 | 1 months 500/ 2 day | 4/22/2012 | 2 | Torn rib cartilage | None | Didn't work at all for my pain. | F | 36 | 8 days | 5/13/2009 | 5 | cramps | none, must take with food though! | I have SEVERE cramps, to the point where I would vomit because I was in so much pain. My doc prescribed me this after I told him that I was taking motrin every two hours to control the pain. I only have to take one pill and it works all day! I'm very satisfied. | F | 25 | 1 years | 12/19/2008 | 4 | severe menstrual cramps | diarrhea or constipation, tiny red dots all over my body-only noticeable if you look very closely | I start taking 2 pills a day a few days before my period to stop the severe cramps and then continue taking the pills until my 3rd or 4th day on my period. I learned to take the pills w/food, like halfway between a meal I will take a pill and then finish the other half of my meal. I have very tiny red dots, almost like pin pricks all over my arms due to my long-term use (10+ years) of this medication. Verified w/doc that the medication is what caused this. | F | 30 | 13 years | 9/22/2008 | 1 | Back Pain | The absolute worse Drug I've taken. Didnt work, bad Headache and Vomiting for 2 hours on 500mg. I should have never listen to the Urgent Care Doctor. Tanks for nothing. | This Drug is Generaly givin to Females for thiere monthly cramps, not a 35yr man with back pain!!! | M | 35 | 2 days | 11/16/2007 | 5 | severe degenerative joint disease | Effective for me in reducing joint swelling in a way no other NSAID has, but I had to discontinue for several months due to stomach pain. Stomach problem was easily cured with licorice tablets. | Anaprox relieves my pain without the grogginess of narcotics, and enhances my mobility. Worth it to me, despite possible stomach upset. | F | 54 | 5 years | 11/28/2006 | 4 | cramps | none | This is the only medication that really helped my cramps. This and Motrin 800mg which leaves me dizzy. I start taking anaprox 2 days before my period is to start, then follow through with a dose each day. It allows me to function and live without the disabling cramps I used to have. | F | 21 | 2 years | 11/18/2006 | 1 | menstual cramps | headache, upset stomach | Try to take 6 pills of Black cohosh a day for menstrual pain. I took it for 4 months, and now have no pain. This drug doesn't cure, just hides the problem. | F | 20 | 3 months | 5/10/2006 | 2 | Rheumatoid arhtritis | No side effects | Didn't work at all for me even on the maximum dose | F | 31 | 7 days | 7/6/2005 | 4 | severe menstrual cramps | It aggravated my colitis. | It worked great for unbearably bad menstrual cramps. Before Anaprox, I couldn't leave the house for over a week during my cycle. Unfortunately, it aggravated my colitis, and I had to get off it. | F | 27 | 2 years | 8/2/2004 | 3 | carpal tunnel syndrome & tendonitis | I have been taking 500mg of naproxen sodium for 2 weeks now and I am experiencing ear pain almost like what the begining of an ear infection feels like . The right side of my face is very tender around the ear. | F | 28 | 2 weeks | 9/23/2002 | 1 | plantar fasciitis | severe headache and stomach pain | I took the prescription-strength naproxyn (500 mg, 2x/day) to relieve inflammation. It didn't work any better than other nsaids. | F | 51 | 30 days | 6/24/2002 | 5 | menstrual cramps | F | 44 | 3 months | 10/22/2001 |
ANAPROX (NAPROXEN SODIUM): Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions. 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. See also Warning section. Some brands of sustained-release naproxen take longer to be absorbed and are not recommended for pain that needs quick relief (such as during a gout attack). Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about your particular brand. FDA Approval Date: 1987-09-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
