At least, I don't seem to be any more or less depressed on it. I think it is the pain that depresses me rather than the drugs, because I only seem to be down if I have a lot of bad pain days in a row.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 I too have found some relief with Aleve. I usually two or three in the morning and then rarely have to take any in the evening.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Not at all. I may have a strong stomach, though. I never really have had any problems with any of the meds (except Lodine--now that made me sick). I usually take it after eating so that my stomach isn't empty, and I drink a lot of water. I guess it depends on how you react to other stuff. And of course, you could try upping it one pill and if it makes you sick the first time, go back down. =) Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2001 Report Share Posted March 22, 2001 Hi , I have Rx strength (500 mg) Aleve and take 2 of these a day. It's about like taking 4 over the counter Aleve per day. Talk to your Doc. - he'll probably write you a prescription for them. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Greg - Thanks - I have a RX now for 500 mg Naproxen - same thing as Alleve, right? This is pretty new to me - can you tell me what NSAID stands for? In taking the Naproxen, it made me too tired during the day, so I stick with Alleve in the daytime, Rx at night. Perhaps 2 Alleve during the day would help more. Thanks, alot.
