Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Many antidepressants are activating agents. They cause insomnia and as a reason are given in day time. If after taking medicine you are not able to sleep that means its activating for you. Shift the dosage of antidepressant to day time. Ibuprofen as such do not hamper with your sleep.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
