Naproxen

I'm taking naproxen for a bad back, and the past couple of days I've started feeling a bit 'not on this planet'... not quite dizzy but like I'm not really here...

Has anyone had this?

I've also just started taking a new pill and have finished my period if that makes any difference.

I remember the doctor saying to me that if you take them for any longer than a month thats when the side effects kicks in but I've only been on them for 2 and a half weeks.

I am taking Naproxen 2 or 3 x 250mg per day and to start with I did feel like that. You do get used to them after a while.

Unfortunately I now have a new med that gives me tinnitus and makes me drowsy Grin.

I've been taking them for 2 weeks and just today I couldn't get out of bed to go to college. I finally got up at 11.45. At least I can walk upstairs without my knee hurting. Grin Mind you, I think there are other issues with my tiredness.

Thank you :o

My legs feel really weak and couldn't understand why I struggled so much on my walk to work when I'm usually fine!

Just looked - mine are 500mg and I take them twice a day so if you felt like that on 250mg then thats bound to be it... oh well I'll just roll with it then :o
