Naproxen "Not as good as THC, but very effective for me. One wants a solution that allows your mind to not constantly be aware of pain. This does the job for me."

"I've been prescribed it off and on over the last 9 years, and it didn't change my pain at all! Ibuprofen works way better than naproxen. Naproxen was like taking a pill that was made of nothing!"
