Losing energy after taurine and ibuprofen

[travisporter]

[FONT=&quot]I noticed after taking Ibuprofen I become tired for about an hour or two and then I feel fine. With Taurine it's kind of the same thing, although after the taurine makes me tired sometimes it'll give me energy. The taurine gives me energy when I don't take it often. When I do take it more then twice a week it doesn't give me that burst of energy.[/FONT]

Sounds as much mental as physical.

when you take an anti inflammatory you shut off the inflammation right?

inflammation is your body trying to heal an injury so you are actually slowing recovery lol

the better option is rest and let your knee repair itself.. if you keep pounding you will make that injury chronic.

yes it sucks short term but think longer term. you don't want to end up needing a knee replacement cause you were stubborn and impatient

I'd recommend changing your training if its requiring you take ibuprofen

I would take care of the issue at hand first that is causing the inflammation in the first place.
