"I have general nerve damage, cervical and thoracic fusion for 10 years being hit from behind. I never sleep through the night in constant pain. I take pain meds, but they're not enough. I bought Aleve PM yesterday and took it last night, it was amazing, slept the whole night, good deep sleep. Not only that, but I have COPD not from smoking, I usually have trouble with wheezing. It didn't happen last night. Thank you, Aleve PM."

"I am 56 years old, and I have been unable to sleep due to pain for the past year. I do not like to take medication but was desperate for something. Discovered Aleve PM, which I take at night and feel like a new person. The pain and sleep deprivation were making me sick. Aleve PM works!"

"For pain and sleep. My doc gave me Tylenol 3 with codeine for my fibromyalgia pain. I also have sleep apnea and insomnia. I can take the Tylenol 3 like Tic Tacs, and it will do me no good. Two Aleve PMs, and I'm pain-free and asleep throughout the night. Wow, never thought an over-the-counter med would help me."

"Aleve PM was wonderful in helping me sleep. I had a lot of pain after a fall. What I did not realize was that it was seriously affecting my brain function. After a couple of nights of taking Aleve PM, I could barely function at work. For example, I needed to take notes at a meeting. When I reviewed the notes the next day, some of the entries just did not make sense. I then read an article that said that Aleve PM could cause a 'brain fog' in people over 60 (I'm 74). After one night's sleep without Aleve (not a 'good' night's sleep), I noticed a huge improvement in my cognitive ability. Anyway, I ended up tossing out the pills."

"I woke up at 2:30 a.m. with an awful, radiating toothache. The kind I have to stand in a warm shower as any medicine kicks in. I took Aleve PM this time, and the pain subsided way faster than with Advil or Tylenol - I didn't even double dose. (Bottle says not to.) I did get to sleep, it was a bit better than usual. We have three young children who wake up early, and I didn't notice them as much this time."

"I have sickle cell anemia (beta thal) and avascular necrosis in both hips and shoulders. To function, I have to stay on top of my pain around the clock and hoped the Aleve PM would help me get sleep. I gave in and spent $10 on 20 caplets, which did not help my pain whatsoever after taking 4 in a desperate attempt to get my pain back in control. It made no difference. I'm sleep deprived and miserable today thanks to these things. The regular Aleve is one of my go-to pain relievers during the day, but the PM version is a joke. I just wish I could get a refund...."

"I took Aleve PM for chronic knee pain, which causes me to wake up repeatedly throughout the night. I only took it one night, and, boy, that was enough! Although I slept well and was not bothered by knee pain during the night, now, approximately 12 hours later, my stomach is absolutely killing me! My stomach hurts so badly that I feel as if I may vomit. I also feel dizzy and slightly disoriented. I am throwing the remainder of the bottle, which cost around $8.00, away when I get home. Who knew there would be such hell to pay for a good night's sleep? Never again. I would rather sleep poorly than feel like vomiting, which I am trying to work."

"Just want to say I would never buy Aleve PM. I was in pain, I couldn't sleep, so I took some Aleve PM, and it didn't work. I was up all night, so I tried the next day and still didn't work. Was so disappointed."

"I can't sleep. I have a lot of pain from preparing and cleaning from Hurricane Irma. I took two Aleve pm at 8:25 pm. It is now 12:04 am. I'm awake and so uncomfortable. My body is like anxiety-ridden. I can't get comfortable. I feel sick as well."

"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."

"It is the only thing that can make me fall asleep anymore, 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."

"I ached all over while on a camping trip and was restless, so I took 1 Aleve to take the edge off and quickly felt myself drifting off to la-la land. I was woken by sharp stomach pains and tried to unsuccessfully use the bathroom. When I climbed back into my tent, I began experiencing itchy palms and soles of my feet. Being that I was camping, I thought I must have gotten into something poisonous, but then I felt my tongue starting to swell and I started to wheeze. Fortunately, I was in a place that had a medic tent where they assessed me to find my blood pressure through the roof and my pulse skyrocketing. After 30 or so minutes, the side effects began to subside and my vitals went back to normal, and the Aleve went into the trash. Read side effects."

"41 minutes later. My stomach still hurts, and I am not the slightest bit sleepy. The same thing happened last night. I was able to watch a movie and still felt awful."

"Aleve PM worked for my sciatica, thanks so much. I can't live without it right now."
