"Naproxen 500 mg should be taken alongside Omeprazole 20 mg. I was prescribed this, and all was okay. Taken without Omeprazole affects the stomach lining."

"Absolutely better than the narcotic pain relievers at relieving the 'acute' blinding pain of a toothache. Within 30 minutes, the pain is gone for 12 hours. Awesome."

"Fibromyalgia - slow to take effect, but once the pain relief begins, it is effective for me and much preferable to codeine."

"Had a tooth pulled three days ago. Have been taking this every chance I could. Doesn't seem to help with pain at all. Maybe I need a higher dosage than 300 mg because I'm only allowed to take 2 a day."

"I take naproxen for jaw pain, and it's really hit or miss. Sometimes it works like a charm, but other times it'll do absolutely nothing. It fails more often than it helps, though."

Naproxen "Aleve is best for TMJ. It works miracles more than any other OTC pain reliever. Take between 2-4, depending on how much you weigh. You should feel relief within 1-2 hours."
