It should not cause addiction. What dose have you used and what symptoms have you experienced after stopping it?

Ibuprofen is not addictive. Your symptoms may be from the underlying disorder that prompted you to take the medication. You may wish to see a doctor.

Ibuprofen is classified as an NSAID (and it not an analgesic like opioids, or a sedative/ tranquilizer like benzodiazepines.) Addiction and habituation do not occur with anti-inflammatories in this group. Agree that your symptoms need a physician's attention
