Is Relafen known for causing anxiety, confusion, disorientation?  I know
there are idiosyncratic reactions to everything, but I am wondering if it is
common for Relafen to do this?
Thank you,
Jackie

I don't think it is common. On the other hand, I believe that many
similar drugs often receive a warning label that they may cause
drowsiness or dizziness, perhaps similar to what you describing.  

As an anecdotal note, I once knew a veteran who mentioned that in the
service they gave out a lot of 800mg Ibuprofen tablets (which is
somewhat similar to Relafen.)  He remarked that he could get a good buzz
with 800mg Ibuprofen and a beer.  Generally though, such drugs are taken
without adverse behavioral reactions.

Thanks for your response, Pete.  It turns out the person with those symptoms
has a couple of brain tumors.
