Hello Michelle, It is indeed quite common to have headaches after taking Orencia. Ibuprofen is usually effective for these symptoms and does not interact with Orencia. However, I would need more details about your health history and other medications to confirm that Ibuprofen is safe for you. I remain available if you would like to discuss this in person to evaluate your condition. I look forward to hearing from you! Olivier
