Soooo....what ARE you taking now? Anything? I'm in PAIN!!! And, at the end of the 48 hours since my last Naproxen.....it's gonna be a REALLY BAD night if I don't take something.

I have some percodan. I never thought the Napro did much for me anyway.....OR the Motrin, for that matter.

(from the article above)
:.....federal officials are warning patients not to exceed the recommended dose of two 200-milligram pills a day...."

I have to take 375mg naproxen (prescription) for pain of RA......although I'm only taking it once every other day right now

You are below the threshold of the gov warning....they say 400mg/day maximum, and you take only 375 every other day.

since it appears effective for you, I think you'd best give your doc a call, though.

Tylenol Arthritis. Although you won't get the anti-inflammatory effect, it works fairly well for mild-moderate pain. And it's not found to cause any heart problems---yet.
