User Reviews for Naproxen

naproxen: I used Naproxen when I tore a tendon in my knee and the swelling would not go down. Naproxen works. It takes some time but you have to be on a regular dose and once you stop taking it, it goes back to the way it was before (at least in my case it did).

naproxen: I use this for lower back and hip pain. It works very well on the sciatic pain I get from injury to my back and hip. the only other drug that helps is at least 800mg of motrin. Naproxen works for about 7 hours while motrin only lasts 3-4 hours. I think these basically relieve swelling pressure on the nerve column.

Aleve (naproxen): It works great but gave me severe stomach cramps, pain, and general gastrointestinal distress.

naproxen: This is at present a God-send. I tore my shoulder muscles at work, nothing removed that "sickening" inside pain, you know the one where it makes you irritable with loved ones. This has dulled the pain after an hour. I'm actually smiling and can concentrate again. Hope this helps more out there.

naproxen: I have taken l x Aleve 500 every morning for about 2 years and have found it is the only medication that completely relieves my pain. My only concern is the side effects and I don't know how long I can stay on this medication. As of yet I far as I know I have not had any side effect. I am 84 years of age. jslampo@msn.com

naproxen: I have been prescribed this medicine twice now and both times is hasn't helped.

naproxen: I have been taking Naproxen for a long time. I just found out from my Cardiologist that it is causing my high blood pressure. It can damage the kidney and liver.

Anaprox (naproxen): I am a 47 year old female with a knee injury. The doctor gave me Anaprox 550 mg twice a day and I was not able to take it. I started taking it and on the third day, I started getting sick to my stomach, lost appetite and was dizzy. I cut down to 275mg twice a day and I still felt quizzy. This is too strong for me.
