Can Ibuprofen Be Taken After Subarachnoid Hemorrhages?
I ve recently had a minor brain injury from a fall and I m not sleeping well, loazepam does nothing and I don t like lopidem. Last night and to an extent today I feel very agitated-likely due to lack of sleep I guess. I also take bupropion, escitalopram. I was unconscious for 10 minutes and suffered 2 small subarachnoid hemorrahges. Is it now ok to resume use of ibuprofen

Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you suffered from subarachnoid hemorrhage and that's a very serious condition and in that case, NSAIDs are not recommended as these drugs increase the frequency of bleed.
I would recommend you to consult your neurologist and get proper pain medications. Over the counter, acetaminophen is only recommended for you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
