User Reviews for Aleve oral

Aleve is the only OTC drug that will relieve my headaches...

about 5 minutes after taking (2) 220mg Aleve my mouth started to water and I had a metal taste in my mouth. Instantly I felt the urge for a bowel movement and had an upset stomach. I started to feel eextremely hot and removed all my clothes. My body broke out in bumps that appeared to look like goose bumbs, my eyes and mouth started to swell, my tongue started to swell, my vision went completely. All I could see was white light. I lost the complete ability to use any of my muscles and fell on the ground. My breathing was irregular, I felt like something was stuck in my throat, my skin felt like it was being stretched to the point that it was going to tear. My blood pressure dropped to 65 over 40. If it wasn't for my girlfriend calling 911 and the quick response of the medics delivering the epipen. I would not be here. I have allergies to other medications but only hive and never had something so severe and came on immediately. If you have any of these symptoms don't wait another second and call 911. after five minutes I was unable to pick up my arm to even call the medics if I was alone. I am sticking with advil!Read More Read Less

relevwes sciatic pain

DOES IT CAUSE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, OR CAN IT?

I have taken one Aleve nightly, and again in the morning for a number of years...I have had no visible adverse affects, although my arthritis pain still exists, it is just not as severe, I think! I don't know because I have never stopped taking it. Not knowing how much pain others suffer, I think my pain is relatively moderate. The present dosage was prescribed by my physician.

I also took Aleve and with in 15 min my hands started to itch then my feet, my lips swelled 3 times their size, my face swelled, I had hives all over my body, my breathing was difficult, my throat became tight, my heart was beating double time.. THIS WAS AFTER TAKING THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT.. BE AWARE....TAKE ACTION IF YOU START TO FEEL ANY OF THE ABOVE...

I'VE BEEN USING ALIVE FOR PAIN, UNTILL MY DR. SAID IT COULD CAUSE KIDNEY AND LIVER PROBLEMS, AND MADE QUIT USING.NOW I'M IN PAIN.

I had a hip replacement (a second hip) 6 mos. ago; had been taking Celebrex and Ultram and found it caused excessive constipation. I would like to switch and Aleve has been recommended by uses. It there any drun I should avoid with Aleve e.g. nyqiil or other over the counter drugs. I would like to stop taking prescriptions if I do not need them and the surgeon said "Try others". What is recommended? What should I avoid?

I used Aleve over the years, very infrequently, but in 2008 had need of it for inflammation in my knees. I took it on August 19 and within an hour I was swelling, itching, welts appeared, scalp and ears hardened from swelling, close to passing out, skin looked like melted wax -- eventually all over. Went to ER, they gave me shots and reversed it. On September 16, I took Aleve by itself at 9:30 by 9:30 I went into anaphylactic shock and blood pressure dropped to 59/39 when measured by paramedics AFTER I was given emergency epinephrine to raise it. Were I to take it again, there might not even be 10 minutes before thsi reaction. I now carry an Epi-Pen in my purse at all times in the event of allergy.Read More Read Less

My only complaint is the side affect I had was not noted on the bottle or this web site. After 4 days of taking this medication I developed a painful tongue as if it were cut with a razor in multiple places including the edges.

Instant relief from lumbar pain on arising.

i want information

give almost complete relief to bck pain if 4 pills taken per day. Recent test indicates kidney damage so stopped treatment and now need substitute for pain

I love the pain relief taking Aleve has given me concerning osteoathritis, but I developed a bleeding ulcer. I am wondering if there is a coated form that is easier on the stomach.

After using it forone week I began to has stomach pain and diareha.

Have taken this medication for over a year when I began to have chest pains, shortness of breath, indigestion. (no previous heart problems) I was taking with a 81mg aspirin which may have attributed to problem. I will seek another pain reliever.

I have had a few experiences with Aleve in my life. mostly docs rx for my back pain, my most recent bout though was for managing the pain from my root canal. I have NEVER been able to find releif from this medication. I am better off taking a hand full of m&m's. My mother also experienced the same ineffectiveness if this drug. I get more releif from taking 800 mg of advil.

I took two Aleve at work one day and within 10-15 minutes my eyes started burning, my face and lips swelled up. I broke out in hives all over my body. (I have had the hives before, but never this severely.) One of my co-workers went to get me some Benadryl, but before she could return, I started wheezing and began having trouble breathing. I became very dizzy and my blood pressure dropped drastically. My tongue and throat swelled up and I was unable to communicate at all. An ambulance was called and I was rushed to the hospital. After being injected with an Epie Pen, given Benadryl and a steriod, my symptoms disappeared (about 5 hours later). I have never had any problems with aspirin or any other pain reliever.
