How Long Does Naproxen Stay In Your System? (Page 2)

Updated

I have consulted with someone in my family who is a doctor, I sprained my wrist and got a brace. And they told me the best thing to take is an anti-inflammatory called Naproxen. How long does Naproxen stay in someone's system.

I've overdid it with Aleve. Taking well above the recommended amount for several weeks. Developed a full body rash, became very dizzy going in and out of bed... The list goes on. I'd rather tolerate the pain. Anyone else get a rash?

I am so glad I read everyone's experiences. I started taking Naproxen a few months ago. And me being stupid took 2 at one time. I noticed that I starting getting hives swelling in my one ankle numbness tingling in my feet etc.etc. Of course I related it to all other things. I took one yesterday and my left ankle swelled up like a balloon and had a hive this. time. In the couple of months it was on and off symptoms. I couldn't figure the hives out as I never had a skin condition of any kind. I hope I have not damaged my body even if I stop taking it. I am really thankful to all on this board. I won't expect to be back to normal if at all for at least a week. I just worry that I am damaged for good.

Wow! I'm glad I looked this up. I've been to the emergency room with heart attack like symptoms, dizzy, chest pain and tightness, shortness of breath, dizzy(so dizzy, almost vertigo Like), vision changes and a flu like feeling. ER doctor ruled out heart attack, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, breast cancer or any infection. Liver, kidney everything OK. But I have had high blood pressure the last 3 times checked, but now 7 days off of aleve its now normal. I did have blood in urine and elevated white blood cell count and red blood cell count, which primary care Dr. Wants to re-check all in two weeks. He wants to wait two more weeks, since I'm starting to feel some better. But I still have severe dizziness, vision changes, and just feeling horrible, but the other symptoms are gone! I really think all my symptoms were from aleve! I've never taken it before but I have a fractured rib from coughing from a bad cold two months ago. Let me tell you I will never take aleve again!

It really doesn't matter if the medication is out dated. That's just for business purposes. Many people use prescription drugs that are out dated and it still has the same effect.

I sprained my back and the recommended Naproxen to alleviate some of the pain. Well the pain went away but after taking the medication for a week, side effects started to occur with Nausea and gas. Causes me to burp alot. After feeling nauseous I stopped taking the meds. It has been three days and the nauseous feeling is almost gone but still not feeling 100%. I think it at least takes 72 days + to clear out the system. Do not take with alcohol during the duration of the medication. It causes the side effects to enhance.

I was only taking Aleve for approx. 3 weeks..some days only one gel capsule..some days 2 for primarily lower back injury and "tennis elbow" which makes entire arm painful from shoulder to wrist..the anxiety attacks ..tightness in my chest..nausea gave me pause if i might not be on the verge of a heart attack..since that time fire dept came to check me out once..next day went to Accucare through Cleve Clinic..yesterday around supper was taken to hospital by ambulance. in all three cases..my heart checked out but i am at higher risk because of high blood pressure and i smoke. All my horrible symptoms started approx. same time i started Aleve..I have been off Aleve now for 20 hours..am praying for speedy improvement..have heard Aleve can stay in our system much longer than 24 hrs..especially the negative scary effects. I cant remember the last time i felt so terrible and thinking i might die. No doctor or nurse practitioner that readily prescribes this med can convince me of the connection between my nightmare symptoms and this drug.

All horrible symptoms from Aleve gone..taking Motrin till I recover from a back and arm injury.. I have been prescribed Tizanidine (a muscle relaxer)..low dose..2mg 3x daily for back/arm..will assist with physical therapy coming up for back..MRI scheduled for shoulder. Very cautious about any meds prescribed after my Aleve nightmare..once bitten twice shy. Advice to others reading this..read up on anything prescribed..if having concerns..call your doctor or nurse practitioner..u have the right to weigh risks versus benefits. Do not trust over the counter meds as necessarily being safe...Good Luck to all.

I was prescribed Naproxen for a shoulder injury. I took it for about three weeks and woke up with a splitting headache. I could not even stand up my head and eyes hurt so bad. finally wound up going to my medical Dr who had to put me on something for headache. I still feel weird and the orthopaedic dr prescribed a milder drug, but you can be sure I am going to look at the side effects. Naproxen is a dangerous drug, at least it is for me.

Wahoo,

Naproxen belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. They work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, chemicals that are responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation. Naproxen blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced. Naproxen was approved by the FDA in December 1991. Naproxen is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, inflammation, fever, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis. There were so many reported side effects (unrelated to a true allergic response) At our facility that prescribers opted for use of other non selective cox inhibitors. I'd highly suggest that anyone prescribed this drug or its OTC cousins to exercise caution when long term NSAID therapy is contemplated. Regards, Kenie.

I had surgery on my hand and was prescribed naproxen for pain. It worked for the pain, unfortunately it also caused some stomach distress and bad gas. I had a hard time eating. I felt like I couldn't leave the house because I needed to be close to the bathroom because of the diarrhea. I stopped naproxen after 3 days and I'm still having symptoms 3 days later. I will be happy when it all finally leaves my system. Be careful while taking this, it may help for pain but the side effects are worse than the relief

Don't worry, I felt anxiety too, hot flashy, sweaty palms out of nowhere. I felt weird after second dose. I'm off it now and seeing sounds of improvement but I will not take this med again.

I was prescribed naproxen for menstrual cramps. I had the ablation done over 1 year ago and have had severe cramps. The naproxen seems to help alittle but then I start to feel bloated and get severe stomach pain. It's so severe that it hurts to move or breathe. I will be trying to find something else to take because I cannot continue with the naproxen!
