Ibuprofen?

So I’m in a bit of pain and wanted to know if it’s safe to take ibuprofen or can taking that make anxiety worse? Thank you

(Forgot to mention, I’m not on any other medication)

Might depend on the med, but sertraline is safe with it. At least for me.

I’m not any meds. Forgot to mention that. So it will be safe to take without being on meds?

I'm on too many medications to mention and according to my GP Ibuprofen is perfectly safe as long as it is taken in moderation and not long term, I was also prescribed Naproxen but because of my IBSc was told to use it sparingly as it cause me to become bunged up
