Indocin is a non steroid anti-inflammatory drug, it is also given to many people with arthritis. It is not addictive. It may cause some drowisness esp at first, it should be taken with food or milk to avoid upset stomach, if taken with out food/milk like if you awake in the early hours and go back to sleep it may make you spacy when you get up. My dosage is 50mg every 8 hours as needed, and it may take a few days to get some good effects. It is a non restrictive drug for me, and I have taken it on and off for about 4 yrs. I have been able to care for my two young boys, work,drive,etc..without side effects. Good luck if you try them again
