I can't remember if this was the tablet that really gave me a hellish 4-5 nights of absolutely *no sleep* in my earlier years. I am not keen to experience that again! Just recently I was given some ibuprofen for my back which I ended up not needing to take. Anyhow, I want to try ibuprofen for something else. Anyone have sleep problems with ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen, did it give you insomnia?

No, but we are all different. However, it bothered my stomach. I have IBS so that may or may not be a factor.
Are there other medications that might be helpful?
Are your back symptoms chronic enough to be reevaluated by your physician or perhaps a pain specialist?
Take care.

ETA Darn fog. I think I misread your post. What is the other condition that makes you want to take the Ibuprofen?

Thanks Barb, I was given about 100 tablets for my back and didn't need them and I am thinking of trying them to see if I feel any improvement in any of my ME symptoms. I haven't tried a lot things because I tend to get over the top side effects which scares the hell out of me. I have a feeling I have taken this tablet way back when and after taking for about a week I was plunged into an even more severe insomnia than I was already experiencing. I wish I could remember what it was.

I do recall that ibuprofen gave me insomnia. It's been years since I've taken it and I won't ever take it again.
Do be careful about taking NSAIDS unnecessarily. They can be hard on your stomach and kidneys. Dr. Teitelbaum in his book Pain Free 1-2-3, said that NSAIDS actually interfere with healing.

It sounds like it might be the one then. I might leave it as the insomnia it gave me was diabolical. I'll check with my library and see if they have his Pain Free book. Thanks CFS_for_19_years.
