"Only medicine that subsides my pain, oxycodone doesn't even work. I can't believe that people put in their reviews that naproxen made them sleepy, that's not even possible biologically. I just don't like that you can't/shouldn't take it over 2 weeks at a time. Naproxen works for me."

"I've tried every medication on the market, and although I don't like to take medication, naproxen has been the one thing that helps to dull down chronic neck pain from cervical spondylosis and herniated discs. I only take one a day and take this with a bad flare-up three or four days a week. I don't take it every day, but it has been a lifesaver in the times when you just need something to take the excruciating pain away from cervical spondylosis. It actually helps with fibromyalgia as well."
