Ibuprofen may cause ulcers, bleeding, or holes in the stomach or intestine.
Always possible, but I've taken taking 200 mg ibuprofen 2X per day for 30 years w/o a problem. I also take an 81 mg aspirin every night. I take turmeric and cinnamon with my coffee in the morning. If I get a bad headache I take two 325-mg aspirin also. I have no stomach problems unless I drink too much Starbucks coffee over a 3-day period.

I suffer from PTSD due to childhood trauma which is ultimately the cause of my anxiety, depression, mood swings, etc,. Right now I’m seeing a therapist who specializes in trauma and going through EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) treatment. I’ve also taken Wellbutrin (anti-depressant) and Lamictal (mood stabilizer) for the last 18 months or so. I also just have to constantly keep busy. I fill my ti…
I'm also on Wellbutrin and Lamictal and think it is a very underrated combination. I highly recommend you read The Body Keeps The Score. Immensely insightful and well researched book that will change the way you think about overcoming trauma

Why so much ibuprofen?
Around 3 years on that regimen so far.
One of the best things I've ever done for my mood is to switch to a plant based diet full of natural anti inflammatory foods. I noticed a big lift in my mood after the first week and it's stuck with me almost two years later. Check this video for more details: https://youtu.be/4xbNNxQZEgA

Sugar and refined carbs can also cause inflammation but I cut those out of my diet years ago. I didn't see the real benefits until I switched to a plant based diet.
I don't want to be that guy again (I've been heavily downvoted in every nutrition threads I contributed in HN), please understand that I'm trying to learn and improve myself. But I'm curious how did you come up with a plant-based diet that's not high in sugar. As far as I know pretty much all (except very few) plant based food are very high in sugar. Especially most fruits have exorbitant amounts of fructose. I usual…

A nutritionist/dietitian would be your best bet. But my 2c about the sugar in fruits, they're not as bad as refined sugar because of the fiber. You have to look at food as a whole, not as macronutrients combined together.
This is very important. It’s not yet fully understood, but something is missing yet in our understanding of inflammation. It’s not everything, just like antibiotics weren’t everything, but progress here will mean curing an incredible amount of human suffering. The book linked below, a late 2015 text on Molecular Neuropharmacology, is fascinating. Every chapter has a mention of inflammation and usually ibuprofen. It’s…
Can’t wait for the science to mature a bit here for better direction. Pain killers (ibuprofen and others) scare the hell out of me now more than ever because they seem like an easy way out (read: temporary solution). And that’s a dark, dark path to tread on.

Inflammation can have chemical roots. It can also be a side effect of infection.
It seems to me that this is why it's so complicated. Correlation does not prove causation. In order to treat conditions associated with inflammation, wecmay need to identify and resolve the things causing the inflammation.

It’s incredible. This last year this very link has become glaringly obvious to me. When depression kicks into overdrive inflammation seems to be right there with it. I’ve had some somewhat chronic issues and I’m really not sure if I should approach it in a physical sense (pt, excercise, etc) or if I should be doing more mental work. Can’t wait for the science to mature a bit here for better direction. Pain killers (i…
