I have bipolar II and am on Depakote 1000mg a day and Zoloft 100mg daily. I am also on valium for anxiety as and when needed at 2mg up to 6 times a day. I have taken up to 4 of these per day over the last few weeks or so to get me over bad anxiety of late.

What is worrying me is that I have been taking Nurofen 200mg up to 4 times a day for several years, it kind of takes away my chest pain (doc says chest pain is due to long term stress - my lungs are clear and am a smoker). I haven't told my psychiatrist or my own GP about Nurofen, but feel I may be addicted to it.

Anyhow, have tried to come off it in the last 3 days and have been getting tremours, shaking hands and head and feel very depressed. I don't know what the withdrawal would be from taking nurofen for so long, or could it be that I have had a hard time of late and that depression has hit me anyway?

Thanks
