Aleve PM (diphenhydramine / naproxen) for Pain "I had total knee replacement 3 weeks ago and figured I would try Aleve PM because of good reviews elsewhere. I took 2 caplets at bedtime, as directed. An hour and a half later, I was still wide awake and in pain. It did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me, and I couldn't take anything else because I'd taken this alleged 12-hour medication. So horribly disappointed."

Aleve PM (diphenhydramine / naproxen) for Insomnia "I recently underwent a hysterectomy two weeks ago and have been struggling with insomnia since then. My past history of insomnia is due to Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and depression, and I take Clonazepam and Hydroxyzine at night to help me sleep. However, these medications have not been effective lately. Last night, I took one Aleve PM and it helped me fall asleep. I was able to get a good night's sleep, but I'm off work right now. Tonight, I did not take Aleve PM, and I have been unable to sleep even after taking Benadryl with my other medications. I plan to try taking half a pill earlier to see if it reduces the sedative effect. I am still impressed with how well the Aleve PM worked, but I need to be able to function when I return to work in a week."

For Pain "I was diagnosed with arthritis in my right hip and had fallen, hurting that leg pretty badly 15 months ago. My left leg got swollen from my knee to my ankle, barely able to walk. Naproxen helped the pain easily BUT for 4 nights in a row I felt hyper and could not sleep!! When I napped it was not even a hour at a time.."

Aleve PM (diphenhydramine / naproxen) for Pain "It is the only thing that can make me fall asleep any more, but if I get woken up at all I am extremely angry for no reason and my pain is ten times worse. My pain is constantly around 8-10 at night and I can hardly fall asleep with it but when I take Aleve pm it just expands it worse. Most nights I’m just laying in tears from being so damn tired but I just can’t get comfortable or out of pain enough to actually drift off. Aleve pm helps me with how fast it can just knock me out but once I wake up even if after an hour the pain keeps me up for hours on end."

Aleve PM (diphenhydramine / naproxen) for Insomnia "I've tried many solutions for my insomnia from melatonin and herbal remedies to prescription drugs but mostly without success. I've tried all of the OTC "PM" meds but the only one that showed some promise was naproxen pm. It's not great or a long term answer but it does provide some help while I continue to try out other possible remedies (recently tried Doxepin which left me drowsy the next day and now giving Trazadone a second try)."

Aleve PM (diphenhydramine / naproxen) for Insomnia "I've been taking generic naproxen sodium PM for a couple of years because of insomnia. I take one tablet before bed and it improves my sleep throughout the night. I've tried several prescription medications and OTC meds including Melatonin alone and in combination with different herbal medicines. The meds I've used either didn't work and/or made me really groggy the next day. This med works the best by far without next day side effects. I have noticed that after a couple of weeks it loses it's effectiveness a bit but if I stop for 2 or 3 days then I can resume."

Aleve PM (diphenhydramine / naproxen) for Insomnia "I have trouble falling asleep and few if any supplements help me with that problem. Aleve PM is a product that I found helpful especially when taken with a little Melatonin. For the last two months I have taken Aleve PM and Melatonin before bed with no problems, and fairly sound sleep, but last night I had visual hallucinations. I have only had visual hallucinations from a sleep product one other time and they were horrifying. I cannot find any where that says that Aleve PM excessive use can cause hallucinations, nor do I know if taking a little Melatonin with it was destructive, but I am going to stop taking it for a while just in case."
