I don't see how taking 2 Aleve tablets per day for a few days each month could have such an effect.

i'm from canada.. anyone knows a website that i can order it off since i don't *think* they sell it here in canada? thanks!

Aleve is just Naproxin (sp?) I am sure they sell that in Canada. I used to live in Buffalo, NY so I know for sure they had it in Ontario.

Good luck!

Yes, it's naproxen sodium.

BUMP!

bump!

2 per day during PMS still works great for me ....

I decided to pin this topic ... it's too good to lose and I don't always remember to bump it!

Ok, I'm going to try this. Thanks for the tip!

I didnt know Aleve could be used for the horrible breakouts before my period. I just started using it for my pain in my knees

which version of Aleve is best?

I just came to tell LQ how much I <3 her again. This working SO well for me.

and as far as what kind of aleve I just get the tablets.

Thanks, Ami .... I am SO happy that you've had such success!

and I think I get the caplets? it really should make no difference.

Why is this in Adult Acne? We need a girl's forum or something.

You're a WOMAN now.

Uh oh! I took Aleve for a week. No wonder my stomach is hurting Although on the bottle it says do not exceed ten days as it can cause liver problems and as you said internal bleeding

Does regular aspirine work?

I suppose it might help ... aspirin is an anti-inflammatory as well. But I suspect that Advil is more effective than aspirin .... and I find Aleve more effective than Advil.

I'm taking it again this week, and it is DEFINITELY working. I started as soon as the first tiny zits popped up, and 24 hours later they'd all gone down again.

BTW, I take EFAs daily ... they are definitely great for my skin, and I see a huge difference when I'm taking them. But I would still get the PMS pimples if it weren't for Aleve.

Is this the right one?

Aleve All Day Strong Pain Reliever, Fever Reducer, Caplet

that's the stuff.

I'm a little confused on how long I'm supposed to take it for. Is it 3-4 days before the period for 2x a day, or is it for a longer period?

Last time I did the aspirin mask for a few days in a row, and my stomach continuously hurt for a few days afterwards.

3-4 days before my period, 2x daily works well for me. You don't want to take it any longer than you have to.

I can't see any reason why the aspirin mask would make your stomach hurt ..... probably coincidence. Cramps, maybe?

I only break out about 14 days after my period starts for like an entire week should I take the aleve at like day 11 after my period or do I take it for the week I break out?
