There is: no "risk" since Aleve (naproxen) is NOT "addictive" The question is what are you taking it for?????? The underlying reason for the need for pain medication should be addressed !! Make an appointment with your PCP (Primary Care Provider) Hope this helps! Dr Z

Yes: If not indicated. You may develop ulcers if you continue taking it on regular basis. Other complications may be less likely at age 19. Discuss with your MD other long term treatment modalities for your condition

Yes. : Why are you taking Aleve (naproxen)? It only gives symptom atic relief. So if you not have pain or headache or fever you stop it.
