Was told to quit taking Naproxen, at least 6 to 10 days before surgery. What happens when you quit all of a sudden? Surgery was suppose to the 3rd, but because of the med's, now we are on for the 30th, or to fill a time slot if someone cancels.
Naproxen Cold Turkey ??

It isnt an opiate narcotic,it's not even a "opiate strength non-opiate" like tramadol so I'd say nothing besides feeling your pain more would be the worst possible thing that could happen. Hope this and other info you receive helps and good luck.

I took naproxen for around 6 months. I did not have any withdrawals or issues when I quit taking it
