hello,

your mood changes can be either due to shingles which lasts for weeks to months or it can be side effect of your medication.

Try switching to tab. naproxen mg once daily and see if you have adequate pain relief and no mood changes

wish you a safe and swift recovery. I shall be happy to assist you if need further help.
