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 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.

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?

Be patient. Doctors may say it leaves your system in 24 hours but I had residual problems for at least a week after. take comfort in that you know what caused your reaction and try to relax. Be careful being prescribed something else as well, check the side effects of the new drug you're taking.

Same thing happened to me. My heart rate shot up and I thought I'm having a heart attack. Got so dizzy I felt like passing out. Was with a friend who was just as scared as I. Read about all the side effects of this drug. Well I'm experiencing a few, still scared. I'm having my doctor check me out. All I can say is if u are my age (67) and actively healthy this drug will scare the s*** out of you. Never listened to a friend. That is what I did.

I took Aleve for about two weeks and I got all the horrible symptoms, constipation, nausea, aches and pains. I stopped about 7 days ago and still feel horrible.

I just took alleve for past five days, stopped yesterday. Feeling like I am going to die. Cold sweats nausea have not eaten for three days my skin hurts and I have not been awake for more than an hour at a time in past two days. Thought was getting flu at first. I don't think I can do this for another 72 hours.
Horrible drug

Hi sorry to hear of your experience. This drug is really awful, and something so strong is not necessary as the side effects massively outweigh the benefits. It takes a while to leave the system so don't panic but always helpful to see a doctor. However, my doctor said it 'leaves in 24 hours' which is clearly not true as I experienced symptoms for at least 10 days after. A parallel: if you get punched, the fist is on your for a split second, but the effects last much longer!

My fiancée took naproxen that was prescribed to her. It caused a schizophrenic reaction. It's been 2 weeks now since her last dose and she is still suffering from this reaction. I read the effects of naproxen can last for a week or so but. How long does this drug circulate in your system for?

I've took naproxen for 5 days then on and off for the next week (less than what doctor sugested). My hair has been falling out (very distressing) I can feel my heart beat, ringing in ears, constantly need to urinate, am jittery an nervous and have stomach issues. It is only just subsiding (but will need to wait for my hair to grow back) and that's days after my last pill. So the effects can carry on for a while even though everyone is saying it's out o your system in 24 hours. I will never take this drug again. It has been horrendous. Please let others know. There are other ways to deal with pain.

The same thing has happened to me. I have a herniated disc and this drug has caused my heart rate to speed up, nervousness, muscle weakness, headaches and ear ringing. I was on it for more than 3 weeks. I stopped taking it 4 days ago and I'm still not back to normal. I wish that I had never taken this drug.

The SAME thing happened to me. I went to the ER thinking I was having heart trouble. I stopped taking Naproxen 3 days ago, and still feel "off" from it. What a horrible drug!
