I've been prescribed Naproxen DR/EC 500mg Tablets for chronic pain and swelling. I've been taking them for a few weeks now and while they've helped with the pain, I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the more serious ones. I've read about things like allergic reactions, kidney problems, and even severe skin reactions, which are pretty scary. Has anyone else had any experience with these side effects? I'm curious to know if anyone has had to switch medications or if these side effects are actually as rare as they seem. I've also noticed some minor stomach issues, but nothing too serious. Overall, I'm just looking for some advice and reassurance from others who might have been in a similar situation.

I switched to Naproxen DR/EC after having trouble with regular Naproxen and my stomach felt much better with the delayed-release. I haven't had any serious side effects, but I still keep an eye out for anything unusual.

I had a friend who took Naproxen and ended up with severe stomach issues. It's scary stuff, and I think it's important to be aware of the side effects. Always good to listen to your body and consult with a doctor if something feels off.

I've been taking Naproxen for a while and the only side effect I've had is constipation. It's a minor inconvenience but I've managed it by increasing my fiber intake. Hop this helps anyone who reads this

I've been on Naproxen for years and haven't had any serious issues. Just the occasional headache or upset stomach. I think the key is to start with a lower dose and see how your body reacts.

Naproxen has been a lifesaver for my arthritis, but I've had some dizziness and fatigue. I've been able to manage it by taking the pills with food and staying hydrated, but it's something to keep in mind.
