I recently picked up some Naproxen Sodium 220mg tablets to help manage my headaches and muscle aches. It's been a game-changer in dealing with my menstrual cramps and toothaches, but the list of side effects is pretty scary. I'm always careful to take it as directed, but I've noticed some mild stomach discomfort and dizziness. I suppose it's worth it to avoid the pain, but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced any of the more serious side effects like unusual bruises or skin reactions? And if so, did your doctor advise you to stop taking it? I remember reading about reports of some severe allergic and kidney problems. I have some questions on the long-term effects if used regularly.
