A member asked:
If you stop taking naproxen sharply what effect will it have on the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Naproxen does not have to be tapered off to quit. No serious side effects should occur if you stop it abruptly—unless you're using it for pain/inflammation, in which case, those may return.
