Your doctor is nuts. But you can get naproxen sodium over the counter, as "Aleve."

That did help me.

Me too. Due to allergies and what-not, I'm now taking a little pile of pills every evening, which really bugs me. (Ok, so one of them is a multi-vitamin. I guess that doesn't count.)
A doctor I saw once for stress asked if I had come for a prescription. I told him I thought those kinds of meds were a crutch. He pointed out that if I had a broken leg, I'd be glad to have a good set of crutches, at least until my leg healed. Sensible argument. I didn't take him up on the meds at that point... but when I started having panic attacks that were keeping me from going to work, I kept that in mind. (Now I'm just waiting for the "broken leg" to finish healing.)

Whee!
