I took it for a serious pain in my right arm but other than making me sleep nothing got better if not worse. I never had such pain like in the morning after taking it. I’m talking about only four hours after taking in the pain gets so bad that I’m not taking it again since I suspect if it can’t make things worse. Best case it helps nothing

A DO prescribed 500mg of this drug for me to "just try it and see if it works", while he was looking right at my medical record showing that I'm on a daily aspirin regimen that cannot be stopped.

Comment:
I have fibromyalgia and was prescribed naproxen and an antidepressant. The naproxen doesn't completely relieve the pain, but it does take the edge off and allow me to do most things I want to do. It doesn't make me sleepy. I have had a problem with intestinal bleeding with the naproxen and have had to stop taking it for periods of time.
