I've been dealing with chronic pain for a while now, and my doctor recently prescribed Naproxen Sodium CR 375mg Tabs (24h). I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried this medication and how it's worked for them. The description says it's a controlled-release NSAID that helps with pain, swelling, and fever over 24 hours. I'm hopeful, but also a bit nervous about the side effects. The serious ones are scary, like allergic reactions, bleeding, and kidney problems. I already have some issues with my stomach, so I'm a bit worried about the nausea and constipation. Has anyone had issues with these side effects, or maybe tips to deal with them? Also, is it really effective for those who have tried it?

I've been on it for a few weeks. Sometimes I get a bit of heartburn, but overall, it's been okay. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about the risks and benefits.

I've been using it, and it definitely helps with the pain, but I noticed some nausea at first. I started taking it with food and that seems to have helped. I'm just a bit nervous about the long-term effects.

I've heard good things about this medication, but I am a bit nervous about the potential for serious side effects. I suppose that's the risk with any medication, but the warnings about liver problems and severe skin reactions are pretty scary.

I switched to Naproxen Sodium CR from another NSAID because I was having trouble with my stomach. The controlled-release formula has been great for me. I take it once a day with dinner, and it really helps manage my chronic back pain. I didn't get any of the side effects listed, but maybe that's because I'm careful about staying hydrated and not taking it on an empty stomach.

I've been on Naproxen Sodium CR for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer for my arthritis pain. The controlled-release formula means I only have to take it once a day, which is super convenient. I did experience some mild stomach discomfort at first, but it went away after a week or so. I've also been taking it with food, which helps a lot. Just be sure to stay hydrated and avoid alcohol while on this medication.

I've been on Naproxen Sodium CR for about a month now, and while it does help with the pain, I've noticed some dizziness and headaches, especially in the morning. I'm not sure if it's worth the trade-off. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm so glad I found this thread. I was prescribed Naproxen Sodium CR last week and was a bit worried about taking it. I think I'll take it with food and keep an eye out for any side effects. Thanks for sharing your experiences, everyone!

I've heard that NSAIDs can cause kidney problems, especially with long-term use. I'm not sure if I want to risk it, even if it does help with the pain.

I take it for my fibromyalgia and it's helped significantly. I have to be careful about my diet and stay hydrated, but it's worth it to have some relief from the pain.
