How Long Does Naproxen Stay In Your System? (Top voted first)
UpdatedI 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.
How long does naproxen @ 2 pills aday @ 500mg each
stay in your system?
I have been taking naproxin for 7 days at 2 a day..my heart rate has gone up to 115 beats per minute at rest...I have stopped taking these..how long will they stay in my system? Was this caused from this drug...should I get checked out and how long should I wait?
Hi, I've just read your post I'm having the same epidural injection in Monday (4 days) and I've just read the letter from the hospital and it states I should have stopped my naproxen 7 days prior to injection!! Really don't want to cancel it! Do you think I'll be ok?? Xx
I found a bit of mixed information regarding this. Some sources state that the elimination half-life of naproxen is approximately 15 hours, thus it is expected to be out from your system in 30 hours; while other sources tell me that it generally stays in your system for up to 72 hours.
This information however is also dependent on the user's lifestyle, like weight, age, diet, exercise habits, whether or not your are taking other medications as well, etc. Based on the above information it would be safe to assume that Naproxen would be out of the system in a few days time (or less if the user is an active individual with a healthy diet).
I just took Naproxen , how lond does it last i have really bad stomach pains :(8
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!
I was prescribed naproxen 250mg on thursday on friday i started feeling anxious gradually its got worse !! I keep thinking a group are after me !! I hate going out and am on edge when i do ! I hate being alone ! In extremly nervouse and irratant in public always looking for an escape route , i havent slept properly since friday and im now in thursday and tonight i had a very realistic. Nightmare , hallucinations and every bang is making me shake!!! in result iv been pacing the house since 3:58am checking the house is secure i feel like im going crazy !! Spoke to the doc today and they confirmed its the naproxen and gave me propananol for anxiety !! Iv stopped taking naproxen today how long until i feel better again ???
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?
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.
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.
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.
My remaining naproxen tabs are 1-2 years out of date. Are they still effective? Or should I request a new prescription?
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!
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 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
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!
I looked this info up on naproxen and how long it stays in your system and it says 93.5 hours or over 3 days (3.9 days) almost 4.
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!
Hi KimB,
Any updates since your last post? How long did it take for the side effects to go away?
