Hello! I usually take Ibuprofen for my menstrual cramps. My mother says I should visit my doctor first but since Ibuprofen works well for me I don’t see the reason. I don’t feel any of the possible side effects I read about in the instructions. But, sometimes when I take it I feel tired after an hour or two and I just want to go to sleep. I don’t know if this is normal and usual reaction when taken Ibuprofen.
Hi! Ibuprofen is one of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs used to reduce pain, fever and inflammation caused by many conditions like headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis or menstrual cramps. Side effects are usually connected to gastrointestinal system, so some patients can feel stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and dizziness. When taken as recommended it presents no danger to your health. As you already said you take it to reduce your menstrual cramps and I think it is normal to take rest or sleep after. I think your body, since in pain, requires resting and sleep in order to recover. I think you don’t feel “tired” than sleepy which is sometimes usual when taken any painkiller.
The Ibuprofen made me tired. I took it cause I had a head ace, not cause I was sick.
It knocks me out every time I take it. I had to buy myself a bottle of aspirin to bring to work because I couldn't work while taking ibuprofen; I kept having to sit down and was really drowsy. I take aspirin for headaches and midol for menstrual cramps. For body aches I've found ibuprofen to be my best option, but I usually need to take a nap when my body aches anyway.
I agree, Ibuprofen knocks me out and even makes me groggy the whole next day. At first, I didn't make the connection......I take to reduce inflammation but I am just too groggy!!
Tiredness is one of the side effect of Ibuprofen.
Yeah it got me so sleepy to and I have a track race today :(
Drowsiness is a rare side effect of ibuprofen
I am very glad to hear others get same tired affect. Ibuprofen makes me very tired and sleepy the next day from taking it
I have to take 800mg every morning for pain and it makes me very sleepy for about 2 hrs
It makes me sleepy too.
I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one that experiences this. I can take a single 200mg dose and be sleepy, and sometimea sleepy the next day
Me as well!!! I thought it was just me...
