Don't Back Down

Naproxen, 500mg »

Last one. I can't take any more. These things make my stomach upset and don't help my head. Not sure why. Maybe I've got something else going on at the same time, but it seems awfully coincidental, and even more so that the doctor told me they last a long time and they last a long time. Once I give them a while (usually about twelve hours) to get out of my system, it seems to get back to just the headache. By comparison, that's almost nothing.

Naproxen, 1000mg »

This morning I had some breakfast and took one Naproxen pill, which absolutely floored me (not quite literally). It made me feel absolutely horrible. My stomach was upset all day, and my head felt no better. So I ate some lunch, which didn't sit well at all, and then I had another one around dinner time, but I could not eat anything, as my stomach had been rumbling all day. No luck. I couldn't even sleep. I don't think this is going to work out.

Naproxen, 500mg »

I went to see the doctor today and talked about the headaches I've been having on and off, so he prescribed Naproxen, which is the prescription ingredient in Aleve. Apparently one of these pills can last most of the day. At this point, I'm game.

After taking one, however, I'm not doing too well. I'm not sure if this is because I hadn't had anything to eat, or something else, however, so I'll try again tomorrow after having something to eat and see how things go. I'm definitely wanting to get the headaches resolved, but not if it makes me feel worse.
