After I stopped taking motrin it went away. | If you are allergic to motrin it can cause asma. | F | 65 | 1X AN | 4/12/2012 | 3 | headache | none | my head still hurts | M | 41 | 1 times | 1/13/2004 | 1 | knee, hip and back pain | SEVERE stomach pain. Ringing in ears. Some dizziness, but the worst was the stomach pain and nasea. | This isn't fit to take. All docs want to do is push medication, rather than actually fix the root cause of the problem. I never didn't take the med, even after the doc prescribed because I don't like to take any sort of medication. But the pain got so bad, I gave in and took one 800 mg. pill on a full stomach. Was fine for about 8 hours, but then had horrible stomach pain and nasea for 20 hours-plus after taking just one pill. | F | 45 | 1 times | 5/25/2008 | 2 | headaches and arthritis | Terrible stomach pain and heart palpitations. | Works well for my husband and 2 kids, but ibuprofen makes me sick. I take Aleve instead, which they don't like, but it works great for me. | F | 47 | 3 times | 9/27/2004 | 4 | in pain + needed to sleep | The first time I started taking Motrin PM, under my parents consent, I started having really vivid dreams. by the third night of taking it, the dreams turned into nightmares and they were SO VIVID, I woke up with the sweats and crying. I went off of it after about a week, but I decided to take it again, not knowing that the medicine itself caused the dreams, and some say I experienced "inception." And for some reason, the drug also gave me premonitions. These premonitions, I didn't know we're premonitions until the next day. Well in my dream, I was dreaming, and I had a premonition, so I woke up inside my dream, and what I was dreaming about in my dream happened in the dream I woke up to, and that's when I realized I was dreaming, and it became a lucid dream. I probably will take it again, mainly because I like the feeling of being afraid, but if you get really worked up over nightmares, this will let you live your greatest fears, so I do NOT recommend. | F | 16 | 1 days 76 MG | 2/1/2014 | 4 | knee pain | Vivid nightmares | I love Motrin as a pain reliever but whenever I take it lately my dreams are very vivid and at times frightening | F | 63 | 1 days 400 mg | 12/29/2015 | 4 | F | 1 days | 8/5/2016 | 3 | 1 days | 5/11/2016 | 3 | pain | Leg cramps | F | 51 | 1 days 800 | 4/18/2013 | 2 | joint pain from old sports injury | I've taken Motrin in the past and don't remember any problems. But this time around, I had nightmares so vivid that I forced myself awake and had a slight anxiety attack. The worst part is that the pain is now back. I won't be taking this again. | F | 24 | 1 days 600 | 6/12/2013 | 1 | headache | as if a hole was drilled in my stomach-but cured headache quickly | took 600 mg | F | 55 | 1 days | 4/13/2006 | 1 | taking motrin for back pain | i am not sure what happend i took motrin arround 6:00 pm went to bed at about 11:00 woke up jn the middle of the night feeling very hot and when I tried to stand up my legs did not respond after that my husband help me to het back to bed but i keep telling him to call 911 because i was going to die i think i was having a pannic attac? i am not sure but i would never take motrin ever again. | leg cramp,panic attack shortnes pf breath and more.. | F | 37 | 1 days | 7/15/2015 | 5 | shoulder arthroscopy | some itching, constipation | Percocet alone did not relieve my severe pain until I also took Motrin.

MOTRIN (IBUPROFEN): Ibuprofen is used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle aches, or arthritis. It is also used to reduce fever and to relieve minor aches and pain due to the common cold or flu. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section.
