Sometimes. I try hard not to take my Rx 800mg ibuprofen more than 2-3 times a day but usually just once if at all because I also take 90mg of Cymbalta daily and 300mg Neurontin x2-3 times daily. Sometimes my pain depends on inactivity/activity or even temperature changes. I believe the best way ibuprofen is supposed to help is when taken on a consistent basis to alleviate inflammation but I am concerned about the build up in my liver since my sister died of liver/pancreas cancer. It seems to help if I change it up now and then with ibuprofen gelcaps. They seem to dissipate into my system faster than the solid 800mg tablet & thus works faster. I hope some of this can help! I'm always near if you need to 'talk'. 😊

I have almost stopped taking Iboprofen. The more I've read on what the drug does to your stomach and bowels has really turned me off it.

Be very careful how much Ibupropen/aleve you are taking...excessive dosages can destroy your organs. Check your labels and try not to use any more than the recommended dosages. Also, Aleve can cause stomach erosion leading to bleeding.
