Advice & Tips
Although research that I did kept saying that ibuprofen should not be taken for a long period of time as it is not good for your stomach, every time I told a doctor I was taking 1200mg a day, they said OK--that was fine.

Advice & Tips
It takes a few doses of Motrin to really start to get rid of inflammation, which can be bothersome.
Cost

Date
Oct 18, 2010
Advice & Tips
I take Motrin to reduce the swelling in my muscles from spasms, which is usually caused by any sort of strenuous activity. It's the only thing I can take while working that won't make me drowsy or scatterbrained, which is usually somewhat of a help to tithe me over until I get home to relax. The pain reduction isn't much to speak of, but it's better than nothing! I try not to take Motrin when I've had a lot of caffeine, or if I've taken Excedrin for headaches.

Dec 01, 2010
Advice & Tips
Developed horrible upper abdominal pain and awful heartburn, so I quit taking ibu entirely. Also started taking Prilosec 20mg daily. Saw my doc about a week later and the pain had died down to some localized tenderness which worried him. He told me you shouldn't take Ultram/Tramadol with ibu and gave me a Rx for a different kind of NSAID called Disalcid, as well as a Rx for Prilosec to help control the stomach acid.
