Most med give you a headache if they don't the anxiety and depression does, i8t can seem like constant head pain, but don't be tempted to take another shrink med foe side effect headache . IBUPROFEN is has good has it gets if your guts can take it , I take 2400mg a day sounds a lot but its in the safe lines. Another scripted med may cause more side effects ,then your looking for another med then another, see where I am coming from.

Hey sewerrats, I totally get what you're saying. I believe there's actually a term for it! Hey, have you ever tried Celebrex instead of Ibuprofen...it's better on your stomach and just one pill daily and equal to 2400mg of Ibuprofen!

You're not supposed to take ibuprofen if you take an SSRI.

Yes it says about stomach bleeds, but it will say that with all meds an ibuprofen, it says that with just ibuprofen taken on its own. I have had a lot of stomach surgery has you see on my avatar , and I don't get trouble with it. PLus it helps my arthritis but you are right to question

Celebrex (celecoxib) this seems risky says no antidepressants.

This really better not be true.

I frequently get headaches so bad, ibuprofen doesn't help. I need the special migraine formula.

I've never heard that before. I suffer from headaches daily and am always taking ibuprofen amongst other things to ease them.

Why can't you take ibuprofen and SSRIs together?

I also take NSAIDs for pain when it pops up.

The combo with SSRI increases risks of sudden stomach bleeds by 12 times. Some doctors don't think it is a big enough risk, some do. It is I guess a matter of risk and benefit.

Also daily NSAID alone increases chances of stroke and heart attack. I don't know if this is different with SSRI added or just the gastric bleed thing.

I was told by one doctor that he simply does not prescribe both and recommends you not to take an OTC version. But he also said if you absolutely need to gamble, always take the pain med with a stomach protective med (like zantac or prilosec). I do that and I hope my stomach suddenly don't start bleeding because I hear those are often deep down in the stomach and hard to repair.

Ugh.
