Ibuprofen (400mg) for cluster headache

For me, Ibuprofen had the very strange effect of making me rather indifferent, making over-confident decisions and driving dangerously. Has anyone else noticed any mental side effects?

Ibuprofen (600mg) for tooth extraction

Prescribed these things by the oral surgeon and the dentist. (Wisdom teeth extraction) The taste is quite nice and they are easy to take. This time, and the previous times, that I've taken these I haven't had any side effects.

Ibuprofen (400mg) for tendinitis leg

On the advice of my GP I am taking 400 mg Ibuprofen 3x a day to stop the infection in my foot (tendon).
