I found this last night doing research on the Celebrex that I am taking.
I realize it is 5 years old & the patients were over 70 years old, but just be cautious with the amount you take. They did stop the study because of the increased risk from Aleve 220 mg. twice a day.

I don't even play a doctor - just do my own research.

"On December 20, 2004, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a press release suspending the Alzheimer's Disease Anti-Inflammatory Prevention Trial (ADAPT). This study compared naproxen (Aleve®) at 220 mg twice a day (a low dose) to placebo and to celecoxib (Celebrex®) at 200 mg twice daily (a high dose) in 2400 patients over the age of 70.
The Data Safety Monitoring Board acting on previous signals from other recently halted trials (see http://www.hss.edu/Conditions/Osteoarthr...-Celecoxib) stopped the trial \"as a precautionary measure\" because the data \"indicated an apparent [emphasis added] increase in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events among the participants taking naproxen when compared with those on placebo\".
This was followed with another press release from the FDA advising patients not to exceed the recommended over-the-counter dose of 220 mg naproxen twice daily for no more than ten days (see http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/news/2004/NEW01148.html)."
