question: I have been taken off Meloxicam  15mg daily today,  and prescribed Naproxen 4x250mg daily. Some while ago I suffered a serious reflux attack and am taking 15mg of Lanzaprazole ever since. My GP suggests increasing to 30mg because of the Naproxen. I fear Naproxen must be bad for me if such a change is needed.. You may need to know that I am on Buprenorphine 20mg/per hour patches . I have a degenerative spine condition and have twice had spinal surgery. Paul Benson, 64 years of age.
