<s>[INST] I was given vicroprofen for shoulder pain and inflammation on the same shoulder....i noticed that this med also helped with my anxiety and depression and i wanted to know if this med could also be taken for these conditions, i want to feel better. what are my options? i have told my doctor that meds that have been prescribed me for my anxiety and depression only make me sleepy and i cannot function well, but that the vicroprofen helps with all my conditions and i can function normally on a daily basis when i take it as prescribed. i have missed work and time with my family when my depression and body aches, could this pill be enough for me? [/INST] If vicroprofen has improved depression and anxiety, most likely you had secondary depression. In cases of secondary depression, if depression improves with optimum treatment of primary medical condition, then there is no indication for taking antidepressantsMedical evidence wise, Vicroprofen is not an antidepressant and is not used in primary depression / anxiety In your case, I do not see any reason to continue it for long time, as an antidepressant Good luck </s>
