Naproxen overdose symptoms may include one or combination of the following; nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, vomiting, blurred vision, seizures, sweating, numbness or tingling, reduced urine production, stomach pain, ringing in the ears, & slow breathing.
Lets get into a little detail about Naproxen. Also known as Aleveu it is a common painkiller used by Canadians has according to research been linked to an increased risk of stroke and heart attack. Till now majority of anti-inflammatory drugs like Naproxen (Aleve) ibuprofen (Motrin) were used to reduce the risk of heart attack. They helped making platelets less sticky as a result of which the risk of forming a blood clot would get reduced. This process helped them from getting stuck in an artery.
Naproxen is used to deal with mild or moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. They function by bringing the chemicals down that are responsible for fever, pain, & inflammation.
Naproxen overdose symptoms or side effects have the risk to cause adverse gastrointestinal side effects in patients. Naproxen side effects are more likely in those patients who are allergic to similar medications, are suffering from any type of kidney or liver problems, certain blood disorders, heart problems, high blood pressure etc. Individuals who consume alcohol regularly may also be at an increased risk of Naproxen side effects that are adverse. Naproxen side effects can also cause harm to newborns; so it is suggested by medical practitioners that patients in their third trimester of pregnancy or who are feeding should not to take Naproxen.
If you are suspecting an overdose of naproxen call the emergency immediately. It will help to keep some information handy when the doctor or ambulance arrives. Information like Patient’s age, weight, and condition, name of the product he/she consumed, time and amount of medicine was swallowed. If possible also doctor prescription should be kept handy.

if i take 32 pills of naproxen 375, will i die?
i think its all really up to God what your fate is. if you decide to take the 32 pills then i would call an ambulance immediate because it takes about 1/2 hour to an hour for the drugs to kick in. to be honest i have tried to overdose once myself before and it does to much damage to your insides so if your just going to live then i would risk taking any form of medication. just jump off a tall building and make sure it is tall because you can also live if its not as high as you thought. lol. someone jumped off the bloor viaduct and they still lived..horrible.
if your looking for someone to make you happy its not going to happen. people are on drugs everyday because they are looking for something to live for and i hate to be the bare of bad news but your purpose in life is to make you own self happy which is actually good news in my opinion because if you can make yourself happy then i guess you dont really need shit from anybody else. their are many opportunities out here don’t let them pass you by because of somebody else

No, It will not kill you. I swallowed a whole bottle of them, about fifty, and washed it down with a few swigs of tequila. somehow, i still woke up the next day. feeling absolutely fine. dont waste your time.
will i die if i take 36 naproxen 500
My therapist said that with NSAIDS like naproxen, you most likely will not die.
However, you will probably severely damage your liver for good, among other things.
If you’re considering doing yourself in, seek medical attention immediately. I tried to overdose on RX drugs several
times in an attempt to kill myself and finally ended up in the ER. I spent a week in inpatient psychiatric care and it
made a world of difference for me; it’s been a year since then and I’ve completely changed my life around.
There is still hope for everyone.
