Aleve Pain Reliever

Pros: Works fast, lasts long, not horse pills!!
Cons: Only take every 12 hours

After trying all the other pain relievers on the market I think I have finally settled on one that I can depend on. This of course would be Aleve.

I have been using Aleve for my headaches and other random aches and pains for a little over a...

Pros: fast working, actually relieves your problems
Cons: expensive

Aleve is my god. I look up to it cherish it love it. I have tried Tylenol, it doesn't work well. Advil, my body doesn't take, but whatever in Aleve my body does like.

Just the other day i had a horrible headache, and really bad stomach...

Pros: easy to swallow, easy to open bottle
Cons: does not work like they claim

I don't think so. According to their ads, you can take 2 aleve tablets compared to about 8 of the other brand and this will take care of your pain. My husband took it for his back pain but it didn't help...at all. His pain continued throughout the day...

Pros: Excellent for sore, aching muscles
Cons: Results not very different than that of other name brands for relief of headaches

I first purchased Aleve for a headache. I work at Eckerd Drug and I was looking for something to take away the pain in my head. I asked our pharmacist what he recommended and he directed me towards Aleve. Immediately I took only one of these pills....

Pros: bye-bye period pain!
Cons: doesn't touch a toothache, makes you sleepy

I am one of the unfortunately all-too-many women who suffer from debilitating cramps every month. I've tried everything. Advil didn't touch it. Tylenol... forget it. Prescription meds wouldn't cut it. The Pill cut the severity way down, but made me...

Pros: Get's rid of the pain
Cons: none

I have chronic neck pain (my doctor called it neck spasms, but offered no relief) and have tried many pain relievers. My neck pain occured about 3 times a week, depending on how I slept on it. I've tried tylenol and advil and what seems like everything...

Pros: Works fast, small dose.
Cons: May cost more.

Over the years, I have heard great things from people, ads, and television that Tylenol is the wonder-drug. I bought bottles and bottles of this drug and it never helped me.

A few years ago, I decided to try Aleve on a friend's word. I have...

Pros: Fast acting, relieves pain as advertised
Cons: Doesn't last 8 to 12 hours

My husband gets gout and he also has some pain in his neck.(not me)
He told me to try Aleve because it is the only over the counter medication he takes that helps his neck and to a lesser degree, his gout. Since I have chronic back pain, I was...

Pros: fast working, easy bottle to open
Cons: none

I first tried Aleve a day or two ago. I had stayed up all night cleaning and I hadn't eaten at all and my head was throbbing by the time I wanted to lay down and go to bed the next day.

The apartment was in shambles because of moving and there...

Pros: Less dosages, longer lasting
Cons: none that I have experienced

First of all, let me just say that I think Aleve works great! The fact that you only have to take one pill every 8 to 12 hours was the main reason I first purchased Aleve. Being able to take one in the morning before I go to work and one in the evening...

Pros: easy to swallow, effective
Cons: expensive

I had a root canal on one of my front teeth this past week. The dentist told me that I would be sore for a day or so - who was she joking? My face started throbbing about an hour later, and got gradually worse over the next 24 hours.

My...

Pros: works quickly
Cons: can take no more than 3 in 24 hours

I purchased this pain reliever after many other relievers had failed.
I liked the fact that I only had to take two and the pain went away within an hour and stayed gone. With other medications such as Tylenol or Motrin, I had to take way over the...

Pros: Small pills, highly effective
Cons: name brand is expensive

Aleve is a pain relieving, over-the-counter oral medication. It is taken to relieve pain related to headaches, muscle aches, great for tooth aches, and mild pain associated with arthritis. The drug in Aleve is naproxen sodium, a different drug than...

Pros: Fast and complete relief
Cons: Not compatible for all

I originally purchased this item due to the commercials I had seen on TV and decided to give it a try. I like the size of the pill and the fact that I only need to take one or two to alleviate my pain. This medication seems to act very rapidly and I...

Pros: Pain relief lasts up to 12 hours, less likely to cause stomach upset
Cons: Brand name is more expensive than aspirin or acetaminophen

I was given a prescription for Naprosyn about 11 years ago after a knee surgery for pain relief. After the doctor had tried Mortin and Orudis, which upset my stomach terribly, he gave me the Naprosyn. It was great. One every 12 hours and my knee...
