can you get high off teva 149?

Not Medical Advice: No. You cannot get high off of the medication with the imprint TEVA 149. The pill imprinted with TEVA 149 is Naproxen 500 mg.

Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent that is generally used to treat pain, back pain, osteoarthritis, headache, and tendonitis. It's very similar to Advil, Tylenol, and Aspirin, and like these medications has few other positive effects aside from relieving pain.

Like Aspirin, Naproxen is also a blood thinner, which makes it good for the heart and preventing heart attacks. Taking more than the recommended dose provides no further desirable effects and can be dangerous. If you feel you may need to take Naproxen for an extended period of time or at a higher dose than recommended when bought over-the-counter, it's highly recommended for you to consult a physician.

A recent study by the Indiana University School of Medicine has found that sick children are more likely to develop acute kidney injury after taking Naproxen or Ibuprofen, especially if those children have the flu or are dehydrated.
