Anti-inflammatory with Sertraline

Hi folks.

So I'm taking Sertraline in the mornings (6am) for Anxiety. I also suffer with back pain and Would like to ask if it would be ok to take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen at night, say 12hrs after taking Sertraline?

Hiya Why not try an ibruprofen gel to rub or spray onto your back instead if you want to use it long term and then use a heat pad as well. That way you can target where you need the ibruprofen to go, and it saves your stomach the upset.

I assume it would be fine. Plenty take prescribed anti inflammatory tablets with anxiety medication. Take care now
