"Wow, has this changed my life. I was a longtime sufferer of migraines and headaches. Advil and Tylenol are like candy to me now and don't do a thing to relieve pain. Even heavy prescribed migraine drugs by my doctor did not work as much as Aleve does! It is simply, for my part, miraculous! It works 99.9% of the time. It works to prevent a headache when I feel it coming. It also works to break the headache or migraine when it is already ongoing and painful. And most of the time, a single pill works. I have to say I really hope my body doesn't become used to Aleve and therefore make it less effective. So far, after a little more than a year taking Aleve, it still is perfectly effective in my case. Don't hesitate to try!"

"My head and base of the neck started hurting three days ago. The pain also moved from place to place and was so abnormal that I scheduled a doctor's appointment for next week. This pain even made my 'hair' hurt. It felt like spots in the central back part of my head had been 'bruised,' and again, the pain location changed from the back center of the head to my upper neck to the back of my ears and then to the top. Prescription pain medicine left over from a surgery didn't help. Last night, I took 3 Aleve out of desperation. I fell asleep and woke up a few hours later feeling much, much better. I will still see my doctor, but I won't be a crazy person by the time I get there."

"I purchased liquid capsules Aleve for a headache. I took 2, and I didn't experience any relief at all over a 10-hour period. The pills are very large, but the gel capsule made swallowing easier. I wouldn't purchase these again."

"Took 3 Aleve liquid gels within 2 hours, and it progressively made my headache worse, and I had an event to go to later that evening, too. Not very reliable. Advil works more effectively, even if I have to take 3+."

"I took a first dose of two, like instructed, for body pain, and it gave me an instant horrible headache that has lingered a bit."

"It has been 20 minutes, and my headache still hasn't gone away, but it did take my back pain away."
