naproxen: Upon taking Naproxen, I immediately get dizzy, break out in hives, and become very weak. But taking Benadryl immediately after the symptoms began relieved all of the symptoms. 0 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

naproxen: Wow. I have tried all kinds of over the counter medicines like Midol, Tylenol, and Advil for period pain. Midol seemed to help the best, but it just wasn't enough. My doctor prescribed me Naproxen. I'm so glad she did. It's all I need for cramps now. It works fast, too. I'd say it takes around 15 or 20 minutes to kick in. I just took one this morning, and my pain is almost all the way gone already. The directions say to take it the day before it starts, which is hard for me to predict sometimes, but if I take it at the right time, I experience almost no pain during my period. I also get migraines, and if I feel one coming on, I take one of these, then take a nap. When I wake up, the pain is usually gone. I'm taking 250 mg. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you?

naproxen: It's absolutely wonderful for period cramps. For me, they're effective within 20 minutes, and they're the only things that work. 1 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

naproxen: This medication for cramps is the BEST. It's weird but my cramps only happen in the morning before my actual period comes. The pain starts literally within twenty minutes of waking. I pop one of these and within an hour, I'm fine. I usually don't have to take another pill even though you can take the medication twice a day. I've been using it for a year. It's great. 4 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

naproxen: I can't swallow pills. I've tried taking them crushed and nothing will stay down long enough to kill the pain. I'm now on liquid naproxen and it is wonderful. Kills the pain and the nausea. 3 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate

naproxen: I have been using Naproxen 500mg for at least 8 years. I find this product very helpful for period pain, although if you take it to late, it sometimes takes up to an hour to relieve the pain, but when it goes it takes a long time to come back. I haven't had any side effects or none that I've noticed. 11 user(s) found this comment helpful. Did you? Yes No Report as inappropriate
