ibuprofen and water retention

Zylahe

So I've been put on 1200mg of ibuprofen/ day for the next 2 weeks,
So far after 4 days I've gained 3 lb (1.5kg). I accept that most of this is just water, but what I'd like to know is is it likely to keep going at this rate (which would mean I may be gaining up to 7kgs) or is it likely to settle down after a few more days.
Also has anyone any experience on how long after i stop the Ibu before the water starts to go back down?

I take Mobic every day for lupus and have for years. It does seem to make me retain water (I do anyway) but I didn't just keep gaining more and more. It's usually about 5 lbs worth. But it also hasn't ever gone away, so that's kind of a bummer. Good luck and just remember it's only water and it'll go away once you're done with the medicine. Remember to limit your sodium and drink plenty of water.
