Note: If you are overdose on ibuprofen or any other medicine/drug call the emergency now!
Ibuprofen takes away any pain, cramps etc and one sleep better. Therefore it’s used big time. And ever since it’s become available over-the-counter, Ibuprofen Overdose has become a common phenomenon. If you or anyone you know have taken Ibuprofen overdose and everything feels fit and okay, you still need to go and see a doctor. The symptoms may not show right now but the overdose may show signs in the long run.
Consequences of Ibuprofen overdose: According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one.
Some more side effects are unsteadiness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal, nausea plus vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, probable loss of blood in intestinal areas or stomach or both, headache, agitation, drowsiness, incoherence and confusion etc. Sometimes more serious symptoms are also noticed in some victims though very rare such as seizure, gastrointestinal bleeding, metabolic acidosis, respiratory depression, hyperkalaemia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, coma, hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, cyanosis, and cardiac arrest etc. Until and unless the victim is allergic to ibuprofen, there is a slim chance that the victim would die from Ibuprofen Overdose.
Ibuprofen Overdose can cause stinking vomiting, profuse sweating, severe abdominal pain, and can land you straight in the mental hospital for attempted suicide, where you may be medicated with things like liquid carbon or charcoal. Charcoal has the ability to absorb the drug before it can enter the systemic circulation. Another form of treatment to fight Ibuprofen overdose is gastric lavage which is not very popular, but is considered if the intake is potentially life threatening. This treatment can be performed within 60 minutes of ingestion of Ibuprofen.
Below 100 mg/kg toxic effects of Ibuprofen are less likely. But doses above 400 mg/kg are considered an overdose and can result into any of the above consequences. It is not possible to determine a precise dose that crosses the danger line as it varies from person to person depending upon his/her weight, age and medical record of the individual patient.

kk my friend has took more than 10 Ibuprofen talbets what will this do to her asap !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Duh. I’ve tooken 40 ibuprofens @ one time,
& nothin happened..
I just got spacey, & a HUGE stomach ache…
It wasn’t really a suicide attempt though..
dude i took like 40, nothing happened either. then i took like 20, mixed it with day quill, ny quill, and tylenoll…. talk about tripping balls man
u guys are fucking dumb.first of all the question was asked in 2007.2nd of all theres no way u guys took all that tylenoll and didnt fucking die
I agree with Chris S. on that one… SAM AND STEVE no offence, but you either got some serious “story telling” skills or you just want attention! First of all: who takes 40 ibuprofen that ISN’T trying to kill themselves… and Second of all, if that were true and you did take 40 ibuprofens, or 20 and some day quill, night quill or what the fuck ever else YOU WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!! Unless you got to the hospital within MINUTES of taking all of that and had your stomach pumped. If you took HALF that amount of ibuprofen you would die. why would you even brag about it either… how would you feel if some young kid or teenager came on here and read that and decided to experiment and took that amount of drugs and died!! GROW UP, both of you and drop the fucking act!!
thank you for that. what a bunch of idiots in this world
Actually, you’re wrong. Ibuprofen won’t kill you.
When I was younger my mother died and I was suicidal and tried to kill myself several times with Ibuprofen and it does not work.
Tylenol does not do it either, I don’t know about Nyquil and Dayquil though, so actually you two are wrong.
They probably did take them and are still alive.
actually you are wrong, if you are allergic to ibuprofen it can have seious side affects and it can kill you. found out I was allergic the hard way.
Well, i agree on pam because if you have an allergic reaction to a certain drug and can cause more damage. I took(NOT a lie, also NOT bragging) about 27 ibuprofen today, and nothing happened. Yes it was a suicide attempt. It also depends on the mg/kg of any drug you take
Ibeprofin can kill you over time, and mixing it with other medicines could kill someone (depending) but taking such doses probably won’t kill you. I don’t agree with the second person who said “nothing” happened though. Something is going to hurt now or later if you take that much, especially if it’s mixed. I don’t know why you would take all of that “just because” though.
Tyler: I hope that you receive/received some help. I was suicidal once too but was given the opportunity to see what was waiting for me in the future. I hope that you realize things don’t always stay the same. You’re alive for a reason, so don’t take away that reason. You might not see it not but that means it hasn’t happened yet, so hang in there.
Wow, what a whole bunch of idiots.
Rachel is the only one who is correct here.
You don’t die IMMEDIATELY from ODing on ibuprofen. The liver and kidneys don’t just stop completely and you don’t just drop dead like you might from a narcotic overdose.
If you actually did take 40 ibuprofens, you’ve undoubtedly caused severe damage inside you.. I’m sure you most certainly bled out your bottom as well.
Ibuprofen thins the blood. This is why they say you can’t take it the day before surgery, even though this drug can affect you clotting factors for up to three months.
Let me emphasize the author here: “Below 100 mg/kg toxic effects of Ibuprofen are less likely. But doses above 400 mg/kg are considered an overdose and can result into any of the above consequences. It is not possible to determine a precise dose that crosses the danger line as it varies from person to person depending upon his/her weight, age and medical record of the individual patient.”
Do the math. I’m 125 pounds, for example. Divide that by 2.2 to get my weight in kilograms. I am approximately 56.8 kilograms.
Multiply that by 100 to get the dosage that would be harmful to me – 5600.81 kg
Let’s convert that to milligrams. 5600.81kg x 1000 = 5,600,810 milligrams. Divide that by 200 since each tab is 200mg each. You get 28004.05. Round it up if you feel like it.
28004.05. That’s how many IBUPROFEN TABS IT WOULD TAKE TO KILL ME. Yes, the caps are necessary. The information is written right there in the google article.
If you actually try to kill yourself by taking ibuprofen, you’re one of the biggest idiots in the world.. You will suffer blood loss and liver and kidneys will shut down.. a horrible and painful death that ISN’T EVEN CLOSE TO IMMEDIATE.
– Liz (the nurse)
Funny how I wrote this and I’ve had three glasses of wine. I don’t know why I’m even wasting my time with you morons. DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE MAKING A COMPLETE IDIOT OUT OF YOURSELVES.
Stop pretending you know shit. Wanna kill yourself? Look up the med and do the calculations. It’s better to use something like a narcotic that will quickly put you into respiratory distress (you won’t know it, you’ll ‘fall asleep.’)
Did I really just waste 10 minutes of my life on this? Wow. I hope someone learns something from this.. I mean COME ON. Ugh, I hate reading some of the responses here. Makes me wonder how old you people are.. I don’t think I want to know.
Wow, looks like I added the words ’severe damage’ in there by accident.. here: ‘If you actually did take 40 ibuprofens, you’ve undoubtedly caused severe damage inside you.. I’m sure you most certainly bled out your bottom as well.’
It depends on your sex, weight, age, etc, etc. 40 ibuprophens will likely make you experience SOME side effect. That is what I MEANT. Lol.
I blame the wine. I still know my stuff and it’s not like I am working today. Hahaha.
Rofl. I think you are the one that needs to check up on your math, Liz. 5600 kg, or 28004 tablets, is 5 metric tonnes. That’s around the weight of a midsize sedan.
The correct amount you’d need to take is 100 mg / kg, so if you weight 56 kg that’d be 5600 mg, or around 28 tablets.
LOL, you’re absolutely right, Molly.
I was completely angry at the whole world last night and lost my mind. I’m pretty sure I’d be dead long before I consumed my whole car (in ibuprofen form).
Wow, this is why drinking is bad, kids.. Imagine how many people I might accidentally kill if I went to work drunk..
>_<
why do people like to commite suicide i dont get it.. is jus crazy for me.. someone can actually commit suicide… hmmm??? i really dont get it..
Dear Whoever, if you can’t imagine committing suicide think of yourself as very fortunate as well as not very informed about the sad % of peoplewho attempt to do so. I believe the best book out recently is The Noon Day Demon excellent writing but very dense.prepare yourself for an in dept self courseon those in the world that have thoughts and emotional & physical conditions that you can hardlyimagine. It’s a long read but well worth it if your serious about beginning to understand the world of tragic & desperate souls
Liz
People can commit suicde for a number of reasons
such a desression, I have attemted suicde by ibuprofen TWICE
You are very lucky if your world has not imploded several times and you just do not want to exist any more – you feel worthless as a person, unwanted, unloved and a drain on the people around you – people always put you down and tell you you are worthless – that is why I tried to kill myself by taking 150 ibuprofen and ended up in hospital for three days!!!!! Don’t mock what you don’t know:)
People like you should be caged and tortured for giving out this false information that will get ignorant people killed. I wish I knew where you’d live so I can throw your ass in jail till you are old and withered… and I’d feed massive doses of ibuprofen to you in your meal without even knowing it just for the hell of it…
How about not talking about “how many” you’ve taken of something? MG would be more useful. 10 years ago
“motrin” was Rx only. Two sizes 500 and 1000 Mg. OTC it is usually 200 mg. Nobody freaked out if you took 2
of the 1000 mg Motrin, it was prescribed to me as 1 or 2 as needed for pain, not to exceed 4 total per day so I
don’t worry too much about taking 8 along with my two vicoprofen. And 8 more with my 2 Vico later on. Dark chocolate makes the whole thing work better but I don’t know why.
Your math is wrong.
100mg / kg would mean you need 5680mg to pass the 100mg/kg mark. Which means 5.68g of ibuprofen. So 5680mg / 200mg ~= 28 200mg ibuprofen capsules, it won’t take you 28k capsules. You’re pretty incompetent for a nurse… if you even are one…
Liz,
Your calculations are correct re: how many tabs one would have to take in order to kill themselves immediately with ibu.
What disturbs me is your obvious lack of compassion for all these “idiots” who want to end their lives. I’m shocked that a nurse would encourage anyone with suicidal ideation to find a better drug to get the job done. Thanks, at least, for not posting a list for them.
Depression is a very serious illness that takes tens of thousands of lives each year. I read somewhere that someone commits suicide every 6 minutes. Not positive of the veracity of that last stat.
These people obviously need help. The least we can do in a format such as this is to encourage all suicide attemptees to seek medical help ASAP while being compassionate and concerned.
So, dear ones who are trying to kill yourselves, please tell someone who feels safe to you right away about how you
are feeling. Have them drive you to an emergency room right away. Your lives are more valuable than you can possibly fathom right now. I know this pain and I’ve made serious attempts. Thank goodness I was unsuccessful. We can and do get better. Be gentle w/ your precious selves…
and AGAIN, tell someone and get help right away.
If you have no one safe to talk to, just google “suicide help” and you will get phone numbers for lots of suicide hotlines. No one on the end of that phone will judge you. They only want to help.
Please be gentle with yourselves. Please get help.
Liz,
I think I need to correct you on your calculations.
400mg/kg is toxic.
So if you weigh 125lbs (about 57Kg) a lethal dose will be in the range of 400mg ibuprofen/Kg body wieght * 57kg body weight = 22800mg of ibuprofen.
22800mg ibuprofen *200mg/pill = 114 pills.
It would not take 28,000 pills to kill you. It would take somewhere in the ballpark of 114.
edit: 22800mg ibuprofen / 200mg/pill = 114 pills.
Dimensional analysis mistake. Numbers are the same, just insert a division sign rather than multiplication
WOW, I GUESS YOU SAID IT ALL. I AM LOST.
BUT, YOU ARE RIGHT, IT IS A SLOW DEATH. SO
DON’T WAIST YOUR PRECIOUS TIME WITH IDIOTS
LIKE ME. JUST KNOW THIS, THIS WORLD IS AN
UGLY PLACE WITH PAIN AND SUFFERING FOR
MANY OF US. SOMETIME PEOPLE GET LOST
ALONG THE WAY. GLAD YOU FOUND YOUR WAY.
SIGNED NOBODY
I know something like your pain and have also tried to kill myself – obviously without success! I have also lost my way and on a long journey uphill – hope you are feeling better
I did your ‘theory’ and it turns out i have taken more than my specifiv weight to harm me.
I would like to know what i should do? Please help, as i am very confused.
Much appreciated. Thank you. Sam xx
This is to Liz.
What you said may be partically true, and yes you might have a point to prove, but some of your comment is hurtful to other. Do you know what it even feels like to be suisidal? To feel like you dont belong in this world and no one cares about you and the only thing that you can do is to take your own life? My dear friend took his own life just two years ago because he was bullied to a point that he didnt want to live anymore. He had just turned 18 three days before. These people that say they took an obsurd amount of pills are not morons. Maybe they just feel the need to escape for a little while. Sometimes you are in a state where you dont care how much it is going to hurt- you do something crazy just to escape life for even just a moment. Your statistics were good and the math you did DID proove a point, but just because someone might be suisidal, and is “crazy” enough to take 40 pills, doesnt mean they are a moron.
When you lose someone to suiside, or even feel suisidal yourself, your point of view on this matter of overdose, or just suiside in general completly changes.
So Liz, if you ever feel suisidal, or you lose someone that was dear to you to suiside, come back to this page and re-read what you wrote. I think you might start to feel differently about those last four paragraphs in your comment.
Tyler, I did something similar when I was 21 and thought about it a lot for another 12 years going up and down with depression. 4 yrs ago I found anti-d.’s and another med that work. I have a life AND a future now!!
Getting good help is the key to breaking free from the dark.
Good luck!
so taking like 20 ibuprofen 800MG won’t kill you???
800 mg of Ibuprofen is a prescribed dosage by a doctor for uncommon pain relief. You can also take 4 200 mg pills of the OTC medication, but I am not sure it will work the same. I know that 800 mg works very well for dentalgia and chronic back pain. It is hard on your stomach, so if you have GERDS, ulcer, diaphragmatic hernia, anything dealing with your digestic tract, you might want to think about taking tylenol instead. You can take a max of 4000g/day but in increments of 1000 or 1500 mg each 6 hours. or as recommended by your physician.
Tylenol does kill you. I was in a coma for 2 days from a Tylenol OD. They found me near death and told my husband to prepare for brain damage or that I would die before I could get a new liver. I was lucky and lived. So think again.
Moron.
Ibuprofen CAN kill you. Read my comment in all bold above this one somewhere. Do the math before saying stupid things like that that are not true! It’s RIGHT THERE in the article! 100mg/kg body weight.
Again, I need to stop wasting my time.
But seriously people.. UGH.
Read about Kimberley Wilcox of Leicester England. She killed herself with ibuprofen
Hello, my name is Lila. Im 15 and i have overdosed 5 times on ibuprofen and other meds…the first time was only 25 pills, made me sick but nothing bad. the second time i took 40, more sick than before, third time i took 80, passed out and didnt remember anything but i didnt die, fourth time i pushed to the limit and took 290…..I was rushed to the hospital where i got my stomach pumped and was put in a mental hospital for attempting suicide which is exactly what i was trying…. just last week i overdosed agian on only 70, it had been over a year since my last one so i tripped out more than i was before….im still alive and well… and yes its true…everyones body can handle different amounts of meds… so yes what might kill one person will not even harm anothers
u only live because you have a purpose in this world you need to forfill
what a kind thing to say, and so true zach.

Hey Wrestler119,
I agree with u, and I was always the one telling this to everyone and being the strong one, but they finally broke me (my parents and their problems), I don’t know what to do, but overdose sounds like a good idea right now I don’t want to die, because I will be setting a bad example for my siblings, but I can’t take this anymore, I have had to take care of my family (emotionally) since I was five I lost my childhood. And now I am diagnosed with a Stomatization disorder meaning I am in pain all the time but there is no cure, I had always been strong focusing on the good but the bad caught up with me. Please can u help me?
Hey lost7… I don’t know if wrestler 119 has replied to you or if you will see this anytime soon. i googled “overdose of ibuprofen” becuz i was thinking about doing it tonight to make the pain go away and i stumbled upon all of these stories. I know that attempting suicide would be such a selfish thing for me to do right now but i want the pain to go away. I’m willing to email with you and talk to you if you are interested. I would like to pray for you as well. Please reply if you are interested.
Hey Jackie,
I know I am on the same page, I know it is selfish and wrong, but I am so broken down right now and yeah I would love to talk to you, because I need someone to talk to
Hey Jackie, I agree with you, It is wrong and selfish, but don’t do anything please. And I would love to talk to you email me at nozachka7atyahoo.com it won’t let me add the at sign so.
my email is swtkiki_06(AT)hotmail.com. i have sent you an email.
for anyone else who happens to read this and is looking for a last ray of hope, i would love to talk to you and pray for you. please email me.
I’d like to share a poem, that I wrote a while back, it has helped me realize the truth, even when it felt like I was spiraling downward.
The Unknown – A Journey
by Poizhan
I only wish you could
See things through
The clarity of my mind
At this point in time.
I know that everything will
Be alright in the end
I don’t fear death
As much as I once did.
I feel like I’ve kissed it
And felt its warm embrace
It is so comforting
I could swear I heard a voice.
A sweet lovely voice that said
Life is the ultimate journey
You travel the world
And through this gain much.
Becoming full of knowledge
While gaining wisdom
And growing spiritually
Realizing your dreams.
Life is also the long journey home
Wrought with the perils and
Nightmares awaiting only in the
Darkest corners of one’s imagination.
Death is the moment you realize that
You never left home at all and when you
Look around you, you begin to understand
That all you were ever looking for was yourself.
Now…That really doesn’t matter,
You’ve transcended the trivial needs and wants
Of human existence…
And death wraps you in that knowledge.
That pain, both mental and physical
Are both part of the journey
That makes the return home
All the more worthwhile.
And now that you are home, safe…
In your warm blanket nothing can hurt you,
You are so safe…so warm…so at peace,
And ready to be born anew.
With the full knowledge that…
Life is the journey we all choose to make.
Without knowing the good and the bad…
How could we ever choose to make it?
hey, this is a really helpfull
site… i keep on overdosing
… nothing dangerouse… like
10 pills at a time… it’s not that i whant
to die its just that i whan the
world around me to stop.
you all sound like you’ve had tough
lives … but nothing that bad ever
really happend to me so i
don’t feel like i have a right
to be this selfish.
the only reason i’m not
in hospital or dead is my
little brother… i couldn’t do that
to him.
but what if forget that…
it only takes minutes to
overdose… then thats it.
I know this was form a few months ago.. but I
just wanna say that yeah suicide is wrong, i
have tried it before and i still want to do it, thats
never gone away. ive done some pretty stupid
things but i still know suicide and self harm is
wrong and ill always tell people that. but id rather
be dead in some ways
I am not sure of I have stumbled upon an adolescent/teen site or not.
I am a Psychologist (I have a Ph.D) and am doing some research in
relation to some of my patients with co-morbidities (i.e. kidney failure
and bipolar disorder). It angers me to a great extent to see you children
on this site complaining about pain and committing suicide to “take away
the pain”. I am going to slip out of my “Dr. Suit” and tell you a few little
things. First off, what do you know about pain? I know I will get many
canned responses, such as, “I raised my family” or “I was sexually molested”.
I do feel sorry for the individuals that this has happened to, but come now, I
am sure this is not the cases for 99% of you. You are just angst-riddled teen-
agers who needs to channel their creativity and energy into something more
positive. Try painting or simply writing in a journal. If you have physical pain,
which I do not see most of you having unless you have a birth defect, then
see a pain management physician who specializes in pediatrics. Yes, you are
a pediatric patient until you are over the age of 18. If you are “pained”
emotionally, see a counselor. You do not even have to see a Psychiatrist or
a Psychologist, such as myself, you can simply talk to your school counselor.
That is actually what I was before I became an Addictions Specialist. Now, for
personal experience. I was in a car accident on the way to my Senior Prom. I
am only in my 30’s, so it was only back in the 90’s. I had back surgery before
my 27th birthday. My neurosurgeon removed 2 of my own discs, replaced
them with cadaver discs (dead people’s discs, to put it in your terms), he then
placed a rod on either side of my spine (2 rods total), each one was over a foot
long, drove 6 screws into my vertebrae to stabilize them, then to finish it off,
he put a caging device round it all and a plate on a part of it. Let’s talk about
pain. I live in it everyday. I do not take painkillers as I am on a double
transplant list (kidney and liver) due to childhood illnesses and I cannot have
anything that is in the medicine (i.e. acetaminophen or Ibuprofen). I
periodically have to go on dialysis and that’s not fun. 6 hours in a chair x 3
times a week. I could be depressed if I wanted to and I was when I was in
junior high and high school. I thought – this isn’t fair, why me?! But you know
what? I rechanneled that rage and went to college. i was originally a pre-med
major to be a Trauma Surgeon, but I couldn’t be on my feet that long because
of my back, so I switched my major to Psychology. I was accepted to all of my
top pick colleges and had several scholarships that paid for everything with
some left over for pocket money every month. I even had 1 scholarship that
paid just for my books every semester – that one was from band/orchestra -
and I got it playing Beethoven on the saxophone! No easy thing to do with
no piano accompianist! It only took me 8 years to get my Doctorate (Ph.D)
and I haven’t looked back. Now, I help others who have a wide array of
addictions, from painkillers, heroin, alcohol up to Internet addiction and even
gambling addiction. I even have 2 sex addicts in therapy. In closing, life has
too much to offer. If you are considering suicide, then you are just a coward
in my book, afraid of life and what it has to offer. It offered me a great career,
a wonderful, loving husband and two beautiful children. I challenge you to
step up to the plate and not be a coward.
Emerson once wrote: “There is no reason for suicide. Suicide is reason
enough”. It means suicide is senseless. If you commit the act, then there
is nothing more to it. Close the book, no more chapters to go.
Dr. D
Thank you!!
Your blog really spoke to me!
I have been through alot in my life, both parents mental illness,
physical and mental heath problems myself. Sexual abuse, then found out i couldn’t have children. No money ect ect…
But i decided to return to study and i’m studying to be a nurse
and life is not easy but it’s worth having.
Life is a challenge, it’s not the movies!
So many people i know have bought into the whole thing that life can be perfect and i can have everything, it’s a lie. Life is an upward struggle, and the best things are the things you work for. The best times are in the midst of the pain because you choose to see them and be thankful for them despite of the bad or difficult things that are happening.
Love to all because the truth is that love never fails.
And to everyone who is talking about taking this or that!!!
every action has an opposite an equal reaction. Meaning don’t be fooled you are damaging your body whether it hits you now or in 10 years when you have grown to enjoy life (hopefully your still alive) then the damage will have been done. There is no turning back then, and trust me you do not want that. no matter how much pain you have there is always a way, always. Find someone to help you, to truly love you, it’s not easy but it’s worth the wait and the energy. And when i say love i mean real love not lust ect. friendship love i.e. trust, honesty, kindness, willing to put you first and you doing the same ect.
Dr. D
How dare you call someone considering suicide a coward!
You are a self-righteous hack as far as I am concerned. I feel sorry for your patients.
PhD. or not – you don’t seem to have a grasp of what suffering from a mental illness is like.
True, there are plenty of people (especially teenagers) who think breaking up with their boyfriend/girlfriend is reason enough to end it all.
But, I have suffered with severe clinical depression for as long as I can remember. I was cutting myself as early as 12. I’ve been hospitalized 4 times.
I’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder – of course, I didn’t know all that when I was just a teenager.
In fact, as a teenager, my parents were told I was just seeking attention. Bullshit – I was trying desperately to live…to get help.
Some of the people on this site might be wondering how many pills can I take without killing myself, but enough to show my parents, my doctors, someone that I’m in pain. Sometimes “acting out” in this way is the only way adults will take teenagers seriously. Case in point – YOU.
Do not dare call me a coward. I have been fighting to stay alive and live since I was a child.
I fought my way though school earning a BA degree – even had to take a semester off after I overdosed on acetaminophen and was subsequently hospitalized.
I tried working for years until a situation at work caused me to have a mental breakdown. I’m now on disability.
The likelihood of my life ending in suicide is high. Of course, I would rather be happy and die of old age. Suicide isn’t always a choice. For those with mental illness, suicide is often carried out during the depths of a depressive episode – when thoughts are not coherent.
As I’ve described a snippet of my life story, remember it started as a child – 12, 13 years old.
Do NOT dismiss children and teenagers!!
To Teens & other depressed folks,
For those teens who may be wondering what happens when you take too much over the counter meds… I used to take 10 to 15 at a time. Once I became so sick I threw up while driving! I took 20 Tylonel and told my mom. My stomach was pumped in the ER and I was hospitalized. My sister had a friend who took a bottle of Tylonel along with alcohol. She woke up to find she’d been vomiting blood. She ended up needing a liver transplant (and was lucky to get one). Over dosing is dangerous.
If you are depressed and need help, this is what you must say to an adult. Do not just say you are depressed or you will be dismissed like Dr. D just did. Tell your guidance counselor or your doctor that you are depressed and have thoughts of hurting or killing yourself. This statement can not be dismissed – action must be taken.
It’s scary. There are times you will regret your decision to ask for help. But you really have no other option. If you suffer from depression, you need help. You deserve help.

It isn’t easy, but you are not alone.
im sorry ,that was too long to read….
I stumbled across this website and your advice is the first sensible thing I’ve read.
***If you are thinking of commiting suicide or acting out in any way then you need to go to your local doctor and tell them “I have suicidal thoughts and tendencies – I am in danger of killing myself – I need help”, and then don’t leave the practice until the both of you have discussed and taken definitive steps towards helping you.***
I cannot imagine a psychologist, namely Dr D, being in any way successful with such an inflated sense of self-importance. Dr D is clearly using this site to feel better about him/herself rather than genuinely helping anyone. I would very much doubt the qualifications of any doctor who needs to tell you they have a PhD. It’s important to offer advice in conjunction with trying to listen to how the other person feels, rather than offering advice which invalidates their experience of pain. Each person’s reaction to unpleasant/painful stimuli is unique, and therefore each person’s decision to take their life is also a very personal one. It is of little help to say “I’m in more pain than you”, when perhaps you are better at coping with physical and emotional pain than someone younger or less schooled than you are.
Robert Frost once said “The saddest thing in life is that the best thing in it should be courage”. The courage to live for tomorrow, a tomorrow blessed by those we love and who love us xxx
i agree. i came on this site for help and
his sa on people … teens being
self absorbed just made me
feel crap about myself.
i permanently want to die at the
moment and its not just teenage
angst….
i now see a councellor and although
it initially made everything worse
i feel like i will be able to leave
this chapter of my life in the past
one day.
if your reading this then please trust
me when i say that asking for
help will relieve you of some tension.
when you overdose or hurt yourself
in another way you are releasing pressure
and that is very important.
a councellor will not tell you to stop.
they will just try and help you
to find another path. it is sooo scary
but please … take this risk with me.
I agree!
calling someone a coward if they commit suicide is easily understandable because it takes more courage to kill yourself then it does to actually live life to its extent
That is the biggest load of crap. Why do you think the whole reason to end your life is in the first place to avoid it. Its more cowardly to end your life and run away from what life has to throw at you. If you believe that shit, then maybe you should do the rest of a favour and kill your sad self.
Are you really going to tell someone who is commenting on a page about overdosing on pills to go kill themself? You are beyond ridiculous. Imagine if they actually go do it, and it was all set off by your thoughtless rude comment. It would be on you for saying that.
Paul
have u ever been so distraught that the only way u think u can get some sort of peace is by not existing anymore?? Have u ever been in a state that u hate ur self so much because it seems wat ever u do is just not enough??
People dont want to kill themselves to avoid living its because sometimes living is more of a chore than a desire. I wish i could wake up ever day and be my cheerful self but that not the case. I keep getting told wat i should and shouldnt be doing with my life and how i should and shouldnt act. How about shutting the hell up Dave because when someone is about to kill themselves it actually takes more courage than to battle on. Imagine sitting there ready to cut ur wrist u think someone without courage could do that?? People are writing on this page and hopefully others can help them. I dont think we need heartless people like u adding in ur 2 cents cos lets face its not wanted!!
Actually, Dr. D is right. He’s telling it like it is. He didn’t say ALL who do that are asking for attention or don’t suffer from a mental illness, but it’s true that a huge number create those illnesses and actions themselves. They need to stop living in the “I have a mental illness” and “I hate my life” state, because truly that is what determines whether you are going to self hard or commit suicide yet.
And before you tell me that I don’t understand what it’s like, I’ve been physically abused, lonely, depressed, and I have gone through all of the stages. I know how it feels, but I got through it. I couldn’t have let myself stay in such a state only partially hoping someone will rescue me for it, and telling myself I “tried my best” when in reality I didn’t until I actually pushed myself and got through it.
Not all people who kill themselves are cowards, but many are. They are going through pain, but they are running away from it and not trusting those who tell them that things will get better. They aren’t giving it 100% to get through it.
How can you be a psychologist! I am an undergraduate and am appauled at your comments. You should know people dont choose to be this way. Just because you’ve been through allot doesnt mean everyone else should be as strong as you. If you want to go anywhere with your degree then maybe you should try to understand people a little better you obviously have no idea. I think maybe you should change profession as this obviously isnt your natural field.
An undergraduate studying psychology*
I just read the comment by mentally ill and she is spot on. It makes me feel sick that you’ve studied psychology and you still dont understand. Did you listen or take ANYTHING in whilst studying?! Mental disorders are not a choice! If you’d had the life allot of the people on here have had i’m not sure you would be sitting their with your lovely life with your lovely family and calling them cowards.
I apologize in advance for any grammatical or spelling mistakes you encounter, I was in a rush.
I find your comment to be extremely ignorant and am amazed to hear it coming from a doctor. Your statement is based on a very outdated way of thinking. Depression is not a choice, it is a chemical imbalance. People with such an imbalance are more prone to Depression than others. While this does not mean they will definitely suffer from the disease they are certainly more vulnerable. Of course not all people who have Depression are genetically prone but most likely suffer from situational depression, possibly do to the loss of a loved one or after undergoing a traumatic experience. I suspect you only take this stance because you feel you are brave and have suffered through a hard time and are now spiteful of those who you believe to be weaker than you, your thought process being “well if I can do it they should suck it up and be able to do it too.” You have built up a lot of anger hence the use of the word “coward.” Unfortunately your spite has resulted in supporting a prejudice that surrounds people suffering with a depressive disorder. Depression is a disease, not some petty thing teenagers conjure up because they are bored. People suffering from suicidal thoughts and depression do not need to be told they are cowards but rather seek to be understood and to find something in life to cling on to. In your response you describe such people as being selfish, however if their life revolves around staying alive for one person just so they don’t feel pain doesn’t that make the other person selfish? Also your statistic stating that 99% of people suffering from suicidal depression have undergone no trauma is incredibly false. It is shown to be 87 to 98% of people suffering from depression are also victims of mental illness. From that number 30 to 50% of those people have suffered due to their own genetics which play a main factor in developing suicidal ideations and morbid preoccupations. In the United States 37% of women have been physically or sexually abused by the time they are 21(The Tech newspaper). Out of those people the majority will suffer from depression and possible suicidal thoughts (CNN Health). Your statement clearly proves your lack of knowledge for your current field and your statistical analysis only further demonstrates your lack of qualifications. I also suspect you weren’t serious about being a surgeon and have used your back as an excuse as to why you did not become one. In such a statement you also appear to be using false anger to gain sympathy. It is very clear from your post you are in denial and use your injury as an excuse as to why you cannot perform certain tasks. I would in fact have pitied you if I had not found out you were a psychologist who has been peddling destructive statements to his patients an act which I find incredibly infuriating and only serves to validate already reoccurring thoughts about their own sense of worthlessness. If I am 16 years old and already have a better grasp on depression, you should seriously reconsider your field and maybe seek help from a doctor of your own.
Dr. D,
It is nice to know that your life turned out so well, and you are probably an inspiration for many. But I don’t feel that you are doing some of us justice when you call us cowards for feeling this way. It is wrong to compare ones pain to anothers. Physical and emotional pain are two completely different things and I would advise you to not push people down and make them feel worse about themselves when they are at this piont in their lives. You could very well unknowingly cause someone to be pushed too far. I don’t want to see that happen. So please try to be a little more mindfull of your words and how they can affect people emotionally. Thank you.
Mia
How can you advise others, in a manner so patronizing, and spew nonsense about not knowing pain? Pain is individual, depression hurts, eating disorders hurt, other mental disorders which lead teenagers to feel the need to commit suicide hurt. So woop woop for you. Sitting on your high horse of condescension while exclaiming that we are simply “angst ridden” is not going to treat patient, it’s not going to make you a great psychologist… just another human being who can’t empathize enough to stop, reflect and do something helpful.
Way to be condescending
you are a prick. how dare you comment on anyone’s experiences without knowing what they have actually gone through. it disgusts me that you are a medical professional.
I would just like to publicly announce that i have less belief in this story than the ones where people have claimed to kill themselves! I’m one of many who have taken large doses of all types of legal and illegal and frequently self medicate with several of both variations of drugs so i can understand completely, both sides of the arguements.
The one thing that annoyed me about this rather ‘over-the-top’ post is that there is no need whatsoever to start with such disrespect for these people and although you don’t feel the need to push the limits, it doesnt mean you have the right to talk to them as if they are children and almost ridicule their deepest insecurities.
If, which i sincerely doubt, you are actually a real doctor in the real world then i would like to say that you have to be the most obnoxious and patronising unprofessional medical ‘Expert’ i have ever come across. The Psychology of the situation alone says that you are handling the situation in such a way that you will only exacerbate the problem thus you’re sole purpose on this blog is to push the ones suffering that little extra towards doing it!
i agree
well i don’t know how YOU did it but just because you have the courage to get over depression doesn’t mean
evry1 does. do you even remember what it’s like feeling pointless and hopeless?? like at evry turn are people who stomp you down and you cry bitter tears at night because your parents just blame you for EVERY SINGLE THING that goes wrong. and i mean every one.
Dr. I’ve got my Ph.D,
You are cruel. These people are reaching out to each other in hopes to understand why. You want to call teens or people cowards when you’re a “psychologist” and your job is to help people? You’re only making things worse. Just because you have a Ph.D doesn’t mean you know everyone’s life story. I know that what you say is just going to make people more upset and lower their self esteem because you called them a coward for thinking of doing things. What you don’t understand is that this helps people to be able to talk about how they are feeling and share their story to tell others it’s not the way to go and there are things to look forward to in life. You are just some smug, ignorant jerk to lower someone’s self-esteem even more just by calling someone a coward. You obviously need to go back to school or you went to school way too long ago to understand how the world works in this current time!
” I could be depressed if I wanted to”
It’s a matter of choice is it? Depression is an illness like any other.
I agree with Dr. D in a way. People who face depression are not cowards, it’s the people who commit suicide. I do not agree with suicide, as there will always be a point in your life when it will get better. I have had depression before, but not to the extent of being suicidal, so I may not know what others feel like. I do wish people would actually consider not doing suicide, as its not the answer. You were put on this world for something other than an early death.
Emerson once wrote: “There is no reason for suicide. Suicide is reason
enough”. It means suicide is senseless. If you commit the act, then there
is nothing more to it. Close the book, no more chapters to go.
Closing the book is exactly the point though isnt it? I mean, hell… if I knew without a doubt that killing myself would end it, it would be done already. The only thing that stops me is that Im convinced Ill end up in an even worse situation than Im already in.
Wow Dr D. I feel so sorry for you!
Here I was, thinking that me having depression since i was 15, being a school leader at highschool, graduating very highly in the state, getting into a double law degree, meant I should be happy in my life.
Now I see, that I really have no excuses, do I?! To your pretentious perspective, I also need to have gone through what- physical and emotional hardship, also – to be ‘deemed’ appropriate to suffer from wanting to die?
Y’know what. It’s never teen angst. Teen angst, trite, snarky teenagers are normal. Wanting to die? Feeling sad and hopeless are not normal, and it took me four years to realise that, because i thought it was. I’m 19 now, and my mental state has literally deteriorated (and I’m being serious, I feel like I’m going insane, I have poor concentration and memory levels, as well as general mental instability) to the point where I no longer want to get better.
Is that cowardly? I am not a fraind of life, and I have seen that Life does have things to offer if you work for them.
How dare you say that anyone who is suicidal is cowardly. What do I know about pain? I know the pain of considering ending my life- of mentally preparing myself for death, and considering my parents and twin sister. How they’ll find my body, to ensure that I am ‘prepared’ for death (I won’t eat for a few days before hand, etc if that makes sense).
The pain of being a 15 year old and having no self esteem. Of being a 16 year old and hating myself. Of being 17 and self harming myself in the hope that SOMEONE might see them and ask me if I’m okay…
The pain of knowing I will never have “a great career a wonderful, loving husband, and two beautiful children” – simply because I can’t have two of the most imporant things in life, that even surpass those things. Love and happiness.
Without both, there is no point.
Thinking suicide is cowardly is your opinion. Enjoy it, but i sincerely hope you don’t share it with any of your patients who may be feeling suicidal, because I know how being shot down like that feels like.
I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder and am having terrible health problems. The thought of suicide has crossed my mind, but only fleetingly. I have been molested, I have been homeless, I have been verbally, emotionally and physically abused. And I am only 19! But I would never actually kill myself. Not because I think it is cowardly, but because I am too indecisive to make such a permanent decision and I believe it is the most selfish act one can commit. Also I believe if there is an afterlife, committing suicide will not be the road to salvation (whether it be heaven or some other kind of afterlife). I watched a movie called “Franklyn” and in it was a girl who would videotape her suicide attempts and always call the paramedics before she actually tried, just to piss her mother off for never admitting what her father had done to her. In the movie a man told her that the most important thing about suicide isn’t the people you leave behind, but the people you haven’t met yet. That was something that I had never thought about. You have no idea what and who your future holds. Don’t cheat yourself out of the experience simply because you are having a hard time now. Life has so much to offer, and I know its hard seeing people with everything handed to them, and it causes you to wonder why you got handed a life full of obstacles. Its only because you are strong enough to handle it. Write a book or something, do something that makes you happy whether it be writing, painting, dancing, ANYTHING. Take care of something, and you will see how much meaning your life truly has. Every person in this world has someone that cares about them even if it doesn’t feel like it.
what happens to you if you taken 10 tablets ?
varies from person to person
Thank you wrestler119 for sharing your story with Lila. I am a mother and I would want someone to talk to my child if he needed help, and felt that he could not talk to his father or myself. Lila also if you ever need someone to chat with you can also email me. Your life is worth more than you will ever know.Good luck
Audrey
your right i not that long ago over dose i took six of them and my heart started beating fast and i couldnt breath had really bad
chest pain and i did it cus my and my ex were having some hard times and i just wanted to harm myself to see if she would pay
attention and she did but now i overdose on these pills that are 500 mg each and i took two of them cus now we broke up
again and she said she didnt love me and etc. so i tried to hurt myself many times and now she finally doesnt give a fuck
Hi Lila… Is there a way we can talk privately?? I am a 16 year old girl and i have recently taken 15 ibuprofens… Can we please talk??
Hey I am 16 too, I would like to speak to you asap. if you could
comment back and we’ll get in touch thanks.
hi, im 16. i overdosed on ibuprofen when i was 14.
right now im in serious pain all the time, my lower back and my
side.
i did tell my mom what i did.
and we havent made an appointment with the dr. yet.
however, just because it didnt do anything to you then,
dont meen it wont fuck yu up later.
Tell someone about the pain. it might not even have anything to do with the ibuprofen. And if it does, it must be treated.
If you are worried about money for hospital bills, if you ignore it and wait a few years, you could find yourself in the ER or something. You will have to go into debt or pay so much money if you don’t have health ins. There are better health care options for minors. If there is something serious to be taken care of, there will be more sffordable programs for someone your age.
I am sure it is nothing THAT serious. But it could be something that becomes a bigger problem. So tell your mom, go get a check up… and they will do something to make the pain go away – in the healthy way (not just masking the pain with otc pain-killers)
I wish you well. You are young. Take care of yourslef now, and when you are my age (31) you will be so happy you did! (All us older folk wish we could have that young energy back!)
Oh – I am sorry… I thought you said you did not tell your mother. Please take care!
i am about to take 74 400mg ibuprofen
will that kill me?????
Probably
i took 40 of tylenol and i felt like i was dying.
my body felt numb! everything around me’felt like it
couldnt touch me. an hour after i took them i
coldnt take it anymore. too much pain but relaxed
at the same time. i told my mom and she called
11 immediately. i hope everyone real8izes
that pills are a very big concern. and it can change yur
life, wether you live or die!
You do not have to go to a regular doctor’s office if you cannot afford to. Any
emergency room in the country has to accept you regardless if you can pay
right then, or not. If you are a minor, then you have to have an adult (your
guardian) with you. Their should be a financial counselor there that you can
speak with after you are seen that help you find financial assistance. If you
are a minor, then every state has a Medicaid program for individuals under
the age of 21. Also, Medicaid offers dental coverage on minors under the age
of 18 at no charge. you just have to be financially eligible. Your guardian/
parent(s) would need to show proof (i.e. # of person’s living in the home,
tax return documents, financial statements, rent receipts, childcare receipts,
etc.). I hope this helps. If you want to try to get Medicaid coverage on your
own, you simply just need to contact your nearest Social Security Office. You
can make an appointment at their office, or, in some cases, complete a
telephone interview. It is that easy. Good luck.
Dr. D
Dr. D,
I am a recovering addict. 10 1/2 years clean. I love all that you shared, thank you.
It is straight forward, honest, and truthful. The problem with the world is
people can’t handle the truth anymore. Keep on speaking it!
I know this is really random, but if you are having pain in your back area and to the side where your kidneys are located, it might be a kidney stone. But you should really get it checked out. I went to the doctor last year explaining my pain. They did a CT scan and found nothing. I went back a couple months ago for a regular check up and explained the pain was still happening. I passed a kidney stone last week. I am beyond angry that I paid to have a CT scan done and they said nothing was wrong. That figures. HANG IN THERE, THOUGH!!!
are you serious, how many milligrams each pill? cus i have the 600mg and i took 6, i feel good but some buzzkilling ass fool posted on yahoo that the effects are in the long run…….so am i trippin or am i gonna be just fine.
ok, all of you who have taken that many ibuprofen
are idiots. for one thing, that specific medication
will most likely NOT make you overdose and die right
away, you may not even notice the signs of damage
for years.. but you have DEFINATELY shortened your
life span greatly. you have guaranteed that you will
have a slow, painful, and early death. ibuprofen causes
liver failure. even people who dont take that many at
a time, who take the recommended dose regularly, usually
end up with liver failure. if you drink, that chance is
doubled. i know all this not only because i’m in medical
school, but also from common sense. one more pill or
drink can send your organs into oblivion. WHY would
you fools want to harm your own bodies this way?
if you want to kill yourself, at least do it quickly! not that
i am saying you should. but fuck, if you’re this stupid,
maybe you should. you wanna trip? eat some fuckin
mushrooms, idiots. you are quickly destroying your
bodies from the inside out. worse than cigarettes,
worse than anything! medications are fuckin BAD for
you. even at the recommended dose. it is not natural.
Michelle, as much as your rant was directed, I fear I have to clear up a few misconceptions you
stated in your post. Do not take this too personally, but I know you are not in medical school. I
know, because I was. We (any form of medical student, past or present) do not take the stand
that you have chosen to take. We do not berate patients/citizens for their choices, we educate,
then offer healthier choices. You stated, “worse than cigarettes, worse than anything!
medications are fuckin BAD for you. even at the recommended dose. it is not natural.” NO
physician would say this, unless they are a Doctor of Homeopathy and that is not a “real” doctor.
An HP (Homeopathic Physician) gets ther education and license off from the Internet. Medications
are needed in many different ways and YES, they ARE natural. Aborigines and Egyptians used to
chew on the bark of certain trees for analgesic effects (pain relief). That is where we get some of
of OTC meds. Morphine came from the poppy plant. Even the illegal drug heroin is derived from the
poppy plant and synthesizes in the human brain into morphine. I am sure you would know that if
you were truly in medical school, but, like I previously stated, I am sure you are just obloviating.
Also, Ibuprofen CAN cause liver damage, but you are more than likely thinking about
acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is more destructive to the liver and causes hepatic comas with
intoxification, which usually has an onset from acute acetaminophen overdose. This in turn is one
of the main causes for liver transplants in the new millenium. Especially in the median range of 18-
35 year-olds. Sad, but true. Usually it is from painkiller abuse with the drug mixes. When you stated
that Ibuprofen causes liver failure, I am 100% SURE you were thinking of the base ingrediant of
Tylenol. Ibuprofen is more destructive on the KIDNEYS, usually over a long term period, or chronic
state. One last thing before closing. If you WERE are medical student, your grammer, punctuation
spelling and phrasing style would be more refined. It has not been that long since I took the
MCAT (Medical College Acceptance Test) and you do have to have a high degree of understanding
of the English language. This also means using a Thesaurus every now and again. I will wait for
you to look that up in the Dictionary…….The, saur, us. Got it, okay, let me continue. You have
absolutely slaughtered our beautiful language and then dare to confabulate about being in medical
school. I take offense to that! (By the way, confabulate means “to fib” or “to lie extensively”. Even
if I had never been in med school, I am sure that I could point out that you have never even been
near one of the cadaver labs. So, please, if you do want to go to medical school, start studying,
you have a LONG way to go before you get there!
Dr. D
Dr. D…
I’m not going to question the validity of your history/education, and whilst I find your style of communication perhaps a little condescending I can’t for one single moment blame you. It is so infuriating reading the majority of these comments…
I stumbled upon this site to convince my friend that her friend who overdosed on five ibuprofen is going to be fine. Never before have I seen such an amalgamation of attention seekers who will not listen to logic.
If people are [b]TRULY[/b] suicidal at the age of 15 (as the average seems to be around here) then what single reason is there NOT to see a counselor? Why? The only reason I can possibly think is because you don’t want to die, but instead have the badge to say you tried. It’s so sad because there are really people out there who need that help but won’t be noticed over the people who make nasty looking cuts on themselves in places that they know will be obvious or by swooning around talking about how many pills they swallowed (And looking at the list, the worst most will get is diarrhea, sweating and vomiting).
I do understand it though… [i]truly[/i]… and suicide is no laughing matter. I’m sure there may even be a case or two who visit this tweenpage who really do need help (and who really shouldn’t be afraid to seek it out, I know getting the branding of “mental illness” is terrifying, but it really doesn’t have to be that way… sometimes it is just help you’ll get, there doesn’t have to be any negative repercussions). What I will say is that all the attention seekers (and some I worry have no idea they are), are just being destructive to themselves, their family and the people who really need help.
As a last note, I implore anyone who is seriously considering suicide to seek out help… I think anyone who really DOES want to end it all would anyway. And I implore all of you who see it as a badge of honor to find a new way to get that attention you so crave so much like… I don’t know… doing something selfless or acheiving something worthwhile… perhaps even learning a new talent that can entertain everyone… hell become a stripper if you really want everyone to be gawking at you.
Some nameless guy
Hey, i appreciate your comments to DR. D he was infuriating me too. But with regards to the last section As a last note, I implore anyone who is seriously considering suicide to seek out help… I think anyone who really DOES want to end it all would anyway’. Im not sure. I’ve been wondering this myself but the attention isnt just a adolscent way of trying to be ….not sure how to word it but ‘craving attention’ as you say. In my opinion there are a few reason; 1. to show to those close to them that there really is something very very wrong and they need help. That things arnt just bad, they’re really really bad. 2. Suicide is a huge and emotional decision and those who are actually on the verge of doing it need help making that decision, to cry to someone and have a serious talk about why they want to do it.
But thats just my opinion.
Another opinion of mine is that Dr. D cant be a real psychology graduate as he knows nothing about human emotion.
Ha! To aaaaaaa I agree with the very last sentence of yours
Great to point that out because I agree 100%!
I understand your point. I am 16 and suffering from suicidal depression. The reason I was not in therapy till I was 15 is because I came from an abusive household and my parents refused to take me seriously as they equate people suffering from depression, with being weak and pathetic. My confession actually led to more abuse, which escalated into severe molestation conducted by my father, while my mother stood in the same room laughing and asking if I was sorry yet. Not everyone has the ability to get help and some that are, are plagued by the stigma of the disease and live in denial. As for cutting I certainly do not use it as an attention maneuver. I mostly cut and burn my forearm because for some reason I find it most comforting to do it there. Most of the time when I cut, I do so while in a dissociative state, during episodes of extreme depression, as a means of preventing myself from committing suicide, or as a way to punish myself, as I bare a lot of self hatred and humiliation. A few months ago while in a dissociative state I tried to amputate my arm with a kitchen knife, however after seeing myself in the mirror covered in blood I snapped out of it and took myself to the hospital where I received two layers of stitches. While I understand your statement was not a personal attack on me, part of this post is also meant for therapeutic purposes, as a method of revealing my secret. I do however want to emphasize my point that not all self injurious wounds are meant to get attention, and not all people who attempt suicide are doing it to wear a badge of honor. Before I attempted my suicide it didn’t even occur to me to explore the option of a mental hospital. I just wish you would look at the situation by all sides and wait till you past judgement.
hey molly, i’m meg… i’m 17 years old and

The MCAT is a multiple-choice examination, you do not need a comprehensive understanding of the English language to pass it.
On another note, as a Psychologist (?) do you really need to be so condescending and defensive in replying to comments? Futher, you can’t really critique Michelle when you referred to people wanting to kill themselves as “cowards” in a previous post – it’s somewhat hypocritical. Everyone thinks that they can give advice, but very few people know how to couch that advice. I.e. it’s not only what you say, it’s also how you say it that counts xxx
I thought psychologists weren’t medical doctors? Only psychiatrists were as they can register medical aid to the patient…
In fact I am sure that psychologists aren’t medical doctors…they can hold a phd and thus be a “doctor” but not a medical doctor.
I have to say the following with final point being closest to my heart and directed to Dr D:
1: Wow! I only came on here because when i was very sick (in my top 5 of sickies) this year i mixed up my ibuprofen dose over the course of a day or 2 and woke up with a horrible symptom, like an electric arc going through my brain about twice a second, I thought to myself “Siezure! oh FFFFFF—” but it went away. . .I’m sensitive to many meds though.
2: All you youngsters who are trapped by an endless ocean of human idiocy/insensitivity, don’t do shit to yourselves or you will never be able to help each other and the idiots win by default. . . yes it is real pain, but when you find the one or two, or many things in life that are for you it will be all the sweeter, trust me. Also there may be less wrong with you than you think and more wrong with those around you. . . .Also don’t get groomed by dirty paedophiles on these sites! BE CAREFULL.
3: Self harm is more complicated than people think
4: Finally, and most importantly, people with Narcissistic Personalities (to the extent it represents a disorder) are highly emotionally abusive, self righteous, full of themselves with an over exaggerated opinion of themselves and their abilities opinions etc and are highly represented IN THE FIELD OF MENTAL HEALTH, “Dr D”. . .I think Dr. Death when I read her comments. . .LOL I’m sorry. . . Dr. D I know is a woman and only 25% of narcissists are female but consider this: Narcissists very rarely end up in treatment because they consider themselves normal, on the other hand victims, of their emotional abuse, commonly do.
Peace Love and Empathy,
from someone else.
i agree with you, im 16 & when i overdosed everything changed.
i cant eat certain stuff. 1 week after gettin out of the hospital
i started drinking and partying, bad idea!
2 whole weeks i had serious stomache pain.
my back would hurt too, i ignored it for 2 whole weeks
but then one night i couldnt take it. i had a lot of fever,
my stomache felt like it was burning && i felt really weak &
sore. i had to go to the ER where i found out i had a serious
infection && a liver failure. now im on medication.
Wow, Michelle…are you sure you should be going to medical school with that kind of attitude and language? Wouldn’t it suck if your instructors found out you were talking like that to teens in need when you’re suppose to help people? Hm…that’s kind of sad.
i hope ur right bc i took 40 asprin yesterday…. my
ears sounds like a continuous hearing test kind of like
a mild mono-ringing in my ears… my stomach hurts a
little…. when people talk it almost sounds like a faint
echoeing going on… my wife said that one of her
patience took 36 and 3 days later died from liver failure…
im definately not going to the dr bc im not wanting a
baker action put upon me…. so will just see whats
happens… im on day two….
why would you do that to urself ?Ur only 15 years old
you have ur whole life a head of u?
thats really sad ): im heart broken just reading that ):
I hope you realize that even though you feel fine physically now, your kidney is going to be shot in a few years. Killing yourself would be pointless, and you aren’t being very smart for not learning from it. You’re alive for a reason so make the most of it. If you live in this “there’s nothing for me here and I need to die” state, nothing will get better. It’s all in the mind, and you need to use yours to change your outlook on life. When you can do that, you’ll see how beautiful life is.
ROfL this made me laugh. You would think by the time you took 80 you would have realised it wouldn’t work. 290 thats funny. 290 though, I bet that was an expensive way to die. You should have used a rope around your neck or maybe even a tall building to jump off a tall building.
Why don’t people admit taking pills is not really trying to commit suicide but just to scare the shit out of everyone around them as a cry for help or attention. If people are really that desperate to kill themselves, then do it properly instead of taking 290 pills. *sigh*
Why don’t you try getting someone to help you with your :baggage”? There are plenty of sensative clinicians out there who want to see you live a full and torture-free life.I takes work on YOUR part but they will give you the tools t use. You were not put in the World by chance but for a purpose. Find out what the purpose is and stop blaming others for your failures. So many folks in “trouble” try to blame everybody else for their woes. Thats the biggest cop-out of all. No one has tied your hands. And kill the pity party as well. why can I say this to you?? Been there, done that.
How long did you stay in the mental hospital?
i really wanna know why do people wanna try to kill themselves..
please at least someone let me know. i been reading all of these comments and almost all of you try killing your selfs.. uugh!! gets me confused.. why would you do that.. really what is that bothering you in life..
many people suffer like you cant imagine, and at the long they become someone important and known . they help people who needs it. and im just wondering why do people wanna commit suicide.. is my only wonder!!! (impatient…)
You really shouldn’t do that. It’s not a narcotic. If you are trying to kill yourself — I sincerely hope you don’t — it is REALLY not the thing to use. Slow, long term sickness with lots of stomach pain etc? Please. You can kill yourself by setting your socks on fire repeatedly but…oh come on. Don’t.
You go trying that crap with tylenol and you’re going to die all right. tylenol/acetaminiphen is the number one cause of liver failure. once again, not the way you want to go. Not saying that one time with 20 going to kill you. once again, how many mg? Liver damage is cumulative AND can be all at once. Drinking alchohol with the tylenol makes it wose, JUST STOP DOING THIS, OK?

lila, you are a beautiful young girl. Don’t take an overdose. you can have any fella you want.
As much of a lie as it sounds.. I have literally taken an entire fresh (so i just pulled off the silver seal) bottle of ibu, then gone to bed (suicide attempt). I woke the next morning with the worst stomach ache and went to school and had a “normal” day. Ibuprofin is a funny drug– you can actually take more of it than suggested on the bottle. Just (even for the recommended dose) drink a LOT of water (I didn’t, I wanted to die).
Oooh, and I shoould probably mention that tylenol and ibu are different drugs… tylenol is FAR more serious with less of a dose. So… don’t go around saying tylenol when other are talking about ibuprofin. Trust me, i was hospitalized for a tylenol OD. I’ve spoken with health professionals about this topic.
I took about 20 tablets called mandafen which I think is another type of ibuprofen. At the time it was a suicide attempt after arguing with my mum because I had far too much to drink. Immediately after taking them I regretted it and told a friend what I had done straight after it. She said I would be fine they would just make me sleep and I wouldn’t overdose. After she told me this I went to my bed and slept until the next morning. I woke up with a horrible hangover either because of the drink or because of the tablets and I had terrible pains in my stomach plus was sick which was watery and yellowish. So Overall i took 20 mandafen and was fine. Anyway, will doing this have a long term affect on me or if nothing happened will i be fine. And I agree with Zach, I believe that everybody has a purepose in life to be fullfilled once it has been fulfilled you die and until you fulfill this purpose you’ll stay alive and I believe that is the reason anybody who attempts suicide survives because they have not yet fullfilled their purpose in life.
@Nik
There is no purpose to life.
If there was, then I guess all the premature deaths in infants mean that those infants had no purpose to life but exist for a moments (minutes, days, etc.) right?
I agree.
I’ve lived in US for about 8 years and what a depressing place that is! I’ve lived in many countries.
I think its the entire capitalistic attitude/management/culture that brings itself down on its knees. No one talks to the other (termed self reliance). This is completely against the nature of human being. A human being by nature wants to be loved, cared, share the pain (halves when shared) /happiness (doubles when shared) etc.
People who attempt suicide, I personally think, are the extremely selfish people who don’t care about others. They can do so many things for the betterment of others like less-fortunate people than they are.
To everyone trying to commit suicide, please, wait for a month or 2 more to save enough money and visit poor countries like China, India, Nepal, Africa etc. and you’ll realize what life is, what friendship is, what family bonding is and what love is. There may not be enough money there, but there is an abundant love and affection.
Just move from where you are. Disconnect with everyone you know (for a while), and get out of there! If you are going to school, stop going there, if you have a job, wife, doesn’t matter. Just move! One thing, NEVER give up!
Life’s very very beautiful in every way. You just have to channel life properly.
Yes, there are problems in life, disappointments in life, shame in life, unhappiness in life, disrespects, feeling useless etc.. Everyone has them to a certain extent, but they are all what life is filled with.
I hate people thinking their life is a waste. So many things you could do.
You commented previously:
“No one talks to the other (termed self reliance). This is completely against the nature of human being. A human being by nature wants to be loved, cared, share the pain (halves when shared) /happiness (doubles when shared) etc.”
How do you know what the “nature” of man is? This may be the nature of one
person, but is totally opposite for another. The nature of man is to have free
choice, the right to live and sustain him/herself in that life. I am sorry if you
feel that capitalism is a bad thing. You must be from a Communistic/Socialist
country. If so, then you have been brain-washed into believing this and I
feel sorry for you. Capitalism has given America free speech, the right to live
free from the tyranny of government or a monarchy and the right to be as alone
or as loved as one wants to be. The nature of man is subjective; in other words,
it is whatever you want it to be.
Dr. D
You know Dr. D, I have read through these blogs and at first your story inspired me. I thought what an amazing person, so hard working and full of hope.
But it comes across in your blogs that you’re arrogant. What makes you the higher authority, because you’ve had hardship; you’ve not had all, because you’re educated; you don’t know all; because you believe in capitalism; have you seen the World wide damage it’s done.
So I ask myself why? Why would someone like you be like this and all I think is you’re arrogant, and achievements in some areas have lead to your loss of sight in other areas?
“You must be from a Communistic/Socialist
country. If so, then you have been brain-washed into believing this and I
feel sorry for you.”
I mean what kind of comment is this, I’m from Britain and I can see RK’s point, I don’t agree 100% with it but come on what a weak reply. A person of your education can do better.
Are you really a psychologist? What happened did all the understanding fly out the window?
In that long education did you forget about American history, naturally America would be home to Native American’s mainly, no doubt you believe killing them off in the name of development and “capitalism” was natural and good progress. There silence your freedom of speech.
Just a thought, I could be wrong. It won’t be the first time and it sure it won’t be the last.
Exactly what I was thinking. You have a good head on your shoulders Shimona
If Dr. D had any form of training in psychology he/she would realise that RK’s advice is in part right. Homo sapiens are a primate species to whom social bonding and interaction are extremely important. There will always be those who break the mould for one reason or another, but the overall the inclination is to form social groups …it’s what we’ve been doing for half a million years! xxx
Dr. D,
You have got to be the biggest piece of shit I have ever come across. Here people are trying to make some sense out of their life, trying to find someone, anyone who will lend them a sympathetic ear, and you do nothing but belittle them. A true psychologist would never speak to any person who is in such a fragile state of mind this way. Your personal accomplishments or hardships have nothing to do with these people and their problems. If you truly are a psychologist, then I thank God that it is not for people with mental issues like this, for you have the makings of the next Dr. Kevorkian. Instead of getting on here and calling these people cowards and pushing them closer to the edge, how about you just go find the nearest skyscraper, wait for a person who is on the edge, wanting to end it all, and just go give them a push? You may as well, because if I were suicidal and had read your posts, I would find no solace in your words. In fact, it would make me feel even more worthless than before. Get off this site and leave it for people who actually give a shit about others.
Whether you believe something or not doesn’t make it true or false. There is a purpose or should I say many purposes. Sometimes we come back to this planet to fulfill one thing, sometimes a life time. Things are not always easy and that is part of our purposes. When you succeed through those hard times and learn from them a growth happens and you enter another stage and onto something new. Sometimes we need to repeat many lifetimes before we complete our ‘task’ at hand. Believe it or not but you chose to come here, chose your parents and the things that are the hardest for you are the things you are here to learn from and when you do that you will begin to feel a purpose. Like attracts like. Negative attracts negative. Positive attracts positive. So when you find yourself in a state of feeling like a victim of this world, remember YOU are ALWAYS at choice! What do you choose, misery or happiness??
There IS purpose to life. For each of us it is different. You will not discover the purpose of your life walking around in a stupor of overdosed medication. You have to clean up your head and your act. This World is not what was originally intended for us. THATS why we are miserable. Once you learn that and seek love where it really is and find it, you wioll not believe the transformation that will take place in your thinking and acting. This may sound like a bunch of rhetorical crap to you now. But it is the tuth. Get going, get healp and get straight.
it will cause long term damage. the best thing
you can do to avoid liver failure and failure of other
organs is to seriously NEVER take one more pill
or have one more drink, EVER again. otherwise,
you will experience the consequences later in life.
this is coming from a medical student working to
be a doctor. i know what i’m talking about. my
own mom actually tried commiting suicide with
ibuprofen. nothing happened for a long time.
then, she had a drink.. and her liver failed.
take my advice and take care of yourself. life really
is precious and you’re very lucky compared to 85%
of this world. realize what you’ve got and learn
to appreciate it. if you dont, then use it to help
others who will. drinking does nothing but damage
your body and make you do things that you regret
anyways, so just dont do it. or you could die. and
dont ever take another ibuprofen again. not one
i completely agree with u on the tylenol. i had an overdose just last month and almost died from takin 34 pills and gulp of sour apple pucker…. so ya they r 2 totally different things
yo amelia so have you tried other than legal meds?
That’s good that you’re okay and here to share your story. I know that some people don’t appreciate the story telling and tell us that we just want attention, but it feels nice to have people to talk to about things that have happened.
I’m not one of those everyday gossip bible readers just to let everyone know, I’m not trying to preach to anyone! lol, I just want to help and I want you guys to know that I will pray for you because I know how it feels to just want to give up.
I was in high school and felt like everything was falling apart. (no, DR., I am not a flippin’ teenager) It was a Thursday night and I took 17 tylenol, not ibuprofen, tylenol. I woke up the next morning. I felt fine but waited. I went to school and felt depressed the whole day. It seemed like everyone was saying hi to me and I felt horrible for what I had done. I felt selfish and actually, there was a girl at the lunch table that I was eating at and we were all talking about death and suicide and she said, “Suicide is selfish” I instantly got defensive. Later in the day I felt sick to my stomach. I went to the bathroom and got sick three times and was fine the rest of the day. It was wierd. I had a CT scan done to my stomach and all the organs for side pain a year later. The doctor said all my organs are in perfect shape. I am just thankful that I now know I am happy. Things may not go right for a while, but God has a plan for all of us. If you’re alive, you are supposed to be alive and you have a purpose in life. It may even be to get on here and change someones mind about comitting suicide! Wouldn’t that be a miracle? Everyone, just hang in there and think about the good things in life, even if it seems as if nothing’s going right, just keep thinking positive.
Whoever he is he isn’t worth it. Amelia, we know you are a beauty. why are you overdosing?
it doesn’t necessarily have to be a suicide, c-dot. sometimes ppl like to screw around. or take as many as it takes to feel better. god don’t get so angry about shit. and no. Half if that can’t kill u. that’s nothin. Try it urself
nigga please.
i’ve taken like 2,000 mgs of ibuprofen, a bunch of diff meds with shit tons of asprin in it and a shit load of cough syrup all at once and the only bad side affect was diarrhea(sp?) but yeah you are quite the ignorant ass hole to be flipping out like that.
Actually, if they are the regular Motrin tablets (200 mg per pill), then they would have ingested 8000 mg of Ibuprofen with 40 pills. If we assume that they were at around an average of 70kg, they took 114.29 mg/kg. If you read the article (which is correct), it points out that toxic effects are unlikely to occur at doses less than 100 mg/kg. 114.29 mg/kg is only slightly higher, and therefore, it is a definite possibility that they could have ingested 40 pills, and still be live. Ibuprofen does not react with the other drugs mentioned. Before you go and rant about someone, make sure you have the scientific facts correct.
dush bag pain killers dont kill you instantly they kil you overtime the kil your liver and kidneys off slowly and painfuly, and you die pretty much slowly and painfully, also taking any overdose on pills from over the counter it gives you 72 hours to get to hospital maximum to have a coal meal (taste like shit) to reverse the effect after 72hours ya fucked and need a liver and kidney transplant if you lucky enough to get one
their wil be long term effects eventually if not treated you wil havve problems in the future wit hyour healt hbecause of you dam stupidity
D-d-d-do you want to call people stupid because they feel like no one can help? Here, I’ll help you fix your errors: “There will be long term effects eventually if not treated. You will have problems in the future with your health because of your damn stupidity.” You wanna be a jerk? I’ll show you jerk. Go back to school and learn how to f-f-f-fucking spell you asshole!
Trying to displace guilt to someone else because they have typos in their message to youis a real key indicator that YOU”VE got a problem. You just don’t give enough shit about yourself to deal with it.
72 hours is not a “magic number”. The half life of medications such as Tylenol and Advil are usually
3-4 hours, respectively, when they plateau in the body, before being metabolized. If you ingest a
large quantity of ANY medications, you can be dead in as early as 6-8 hours. Please do not dispense
erroneous information that can wind up getting someone killed if you do not know what you are talking
about. You do not always need a transplant after an overdose. Once again, your ignorance is not
our bliss. Think about it, you might understand it in a few years, after you have matured some and
have grown a few more bed cells that may synapse at the same time.
Dr. D
Are you actually a real doctor or do you just spend all your time berating others and having a generally condescending attitude towards them?
Anyone with a brain and access to Wikipedia can easily figure out all the information that you’re spitting out like you know something everyone else doesn’t. Newsflash: medical school, your doctorate and everything else about you don’t mean anything if you communicate with everyone the way you’re choosing to on here.
Dr. D,
It’s really a waste of time for me to be commenting on such uselessness but Christopher is correct. You are not GOd and you are only commenting with rage…it seems. It’s surprising that you have time to come on to these websites anyway to comment on teenager’s discussions of their problems, which are not yours! You may have a Ph.D but that means nothing to anybody on this site. You are a terrible person for commenting on here like you have been doing. But I guess we can’t judge you for how you are because we clearly all have problems that we need to address.
you have about 12 hours to get it out of your system but you still wont die for as long as 2 weeks.
and btw im not encouraging overdosing so im not going to say how much (if your really that desperate im sure you could find out on your own) but you have to take ALOT to die and it usually doesn’t work. please if you have suicidal thoughts or just want to talk to someone talk to a counselor, a parent, or a trusted adult. your life is important!
Dr. D, your sarcasm is quite frankly starting to piss me off. Stop being a jerk.
Firstly,well done for getting up them,bout braggin and the possibility of young ones reading and possibly copying such bad behaviour.Sadly though there is a world full of people continually looking for a way to get off,or out of this world,just temporarily to ease their pain or boredom.Also sadly,when people start using meds to get off theybuild a tolerance to certain drugs.I personally kno of this young lady who took 40Nurofen plus tablets over the day,this equals 8000mg of ibuprofen,which is like 7200mg over the max dose recommended for an adult.I have been looking on net to get facts to give to her,as Im terrified for her,thats when I found your comments.Although she didnt die,she will now suffer for the rest of her days as Im positive that her body is going to slowly pack it in over future years.It was a stupid thing to do.It is the most stupid way to consider overdosing yourself.Suicide is never the answer,but there are ways to ease your pain,that wont leave you with long term health problems,u think yr depressed now,wait till your stuck in hospital,tubes hanging out of your body everywhere,and your unable to do anything to ease yr depression then.PLEASE REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE YOUR LIFE,seriously,unsuccessful suicide attempts leave you so terribly damaged.
yeaa im 16 and i’ve taken 50 pain pills at once and i was just reallll dizzy and tired
it was a mix of about.. 25 ibuprofen, 10 naproxen, 5 aleve, and 10 tylenol PM. taking that many pills doesnt necessarly mean you DIE.. i didnt have internal bleeding or anything but my blood was VERY VERY thin and i was tired for about 4 days afterwards . how i could tell my blood was thin was because i would brush my teeth and my gums would bleed, and i would rub my nose and it would instantly start bleeding and it WOULD NOT stop . and not everyone takes pills for attention. lots of people lie about it because they’re just that lame. its not good to ‘brag; about it but its good to let other people know the risks of taking pills before they decide to overdose like me 
its not very fun..
Thank you ryann! I agree with everything you said
You’re a smart cookie!
C-dot, you’re stupid. I took over 50 the other night and never went to a hospital. And guess what? I’m obviously still alive. You don’t have to take that many with the intention of dying, you could just take that many so you pass out for a while.
Well, he does say “talk about tripping balls”, which would suggest he did try to commit suicide. cut him some slack, no need to be a tosser.
In the Stoner’s Dictionary
The phrase “Tripping balls” means: To get high or to be high
lol I’m just playin’ with ya!
ok. I have taken 20 Vicadions and havent died. no stomach pumpin im alive and well.. yes was a suicide attempt at which im still trying too figure out.. i have about 3 somas, 1 highly high pain killer, and a few others. im 6;3 so takes alot too put me down and trust me you guys it is all about size and weight. then it plays into the scienve of the body ive tried killing my self a few times i tried speeding my heart up so itd stop and i took ‘ whole bottle of ritlan20mg, ritlan 10mg, adiral 10mg, adiral 20mg. and sorry guys im alive still and never been to the hospital or anything and its NOT a story only FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe you! And I’m not being sarcastic either. And you’re right, it depends on the height and weight of a person.
lol calm th fuk down man u no wat u shud do? smoke sum weed #_#
i took two full bottles of advile extra strength last night after jumping in front of a car, and stole seven of my sisters sleeping pills, i woke up today and took 17 ibuprofen and 3 tylenal 500 and an advil extra extra prescribed to my friend, and i am still fine, i say its a myth
hi, i was at a party,. and i got drunk, and i dont no why, but i thought it would be funny to take 20 ibuprofens, and now im scared coz ive looked it up and it seems it has very serious side affects, though i have had none, what should i do, i cant tell my parents, but should i tell my friends?
please dont tell me im stupid because i no, but im really scared, plesase dont have a go at me. i no its not that much, and i do have a history of these things, but i didnt take these to kill myself, i just wanted to see if i could take that many…
Ok.. So I was one of the dumb selfish ones that decided O.D’n was the thing to do… I took about 8 pills that prevented you from puking… then around 15 ib profen and 15 asprin… no im not lying or bullshitting you… its taken me 4 days to be half ass ok… the first and nd days were awful… ringing in my ears… i couldnt hear people talking to me… my head hurt so bad… i wanted to puke but couldnt… it sucked… but i seem to be fine now… other than a headache… if i were going to have some actual BAD side effects like adominal bleeding and ect… would that have already happened? would i already know that?
some like myself want to die
Actually c-dot I once took 60 IB profen didnt go to hospital I dont even remember if I felt anything at all and Im still living. Im fine now and I wasnt trying to kill myself then so shut your big you think you now it all mouth and get a fucking clue ok. yes some people may just want attention but by replying to this thats what your giving them. So you drop the fucking act if ok. you didnt ave to come on this site did you ? ANSWER no you didnt so stop being such a fucking big retard and stop giving the poeple who want attention, attention cause your already contridicting yourself. FUCK OFF
I agree with you, I am 13 and I was just about to think of experimenting with that amount of ibuprofen, but now that i think of it that would be TOTALLY INSANE!
im a 16 year old girli took 46 ibuprofine and 6 pills of prednisone all that happened is major stomach pains and a lot of freaking puke. i wish it wold have kill me
Thanks for that. Because I was just about to take an insane amount cuz of tht. O.O I’m just trying to figure out how many will knock me out. It’s been about a year since I’ve slept more then three hours a day. And my mother won’t get me sleeping pills. And thank you idiots who said it was fine to take that much, because I just about killed myself due to your comments. >.>
i took 4 600mg motrins and 20 tylenolls n didnt die…but i was n da hospital for a week tho
ya you didnt die cuz u went to the hospital. just imagine if u didnt go to the hospital. you wouldnt be alive.
i took 20 600mg ibuprofin pills, plus a dayquil and nyquil and 30 pills that i had for stomach pains from a while ago, plus like 40 of another prescription medicine that i had no idea what it was and i’m still here…i got a little high, but that was about it….so yeah there is a way they took all that and didn’t die. k thanks
are you shure it was 20 600mg cus thats a shit load
you are a dumbass. i took 30 and i’m still here. obviously someone can’t read what it says above.
i did it to believe it or not. I thought i was going to die, but i didnt i just woke up with stomach ache. A massive one at that.
i took 50 tylenol within a minute and im still alive… but that was when i was 14 and depressed… it just put me to sleep for hours… and i woke up with a big head ache u cant really over dose on IB it would take combonations of other pills and maybe alcohol to do damage…
this is not funny lads this serioue have respect!!
u don’T know that i took 19 benadryls and nuthing happend to me
dude just took 100 of those, im still here and i dint got to a hospital
so how about I’ve taken a whole bottle the symptoms were as what they described…and I’ve also taken like 11 oxycodon( the first time I had ever taken it and I was just experimenting because I did not know how it would affect me and I wanted to get real high I know bad girl but I was troubled…) and I was very lethargic I just passed out over and over which probably meant i was going to die. Oh well…I’m still here I guess.
didnt kill me, but there was only 60 xtra strength left in the bottle. didnt do anything, just made me feel really emotional..lmao. felt kind of drunk for some reason 2.
holy shit are u for real??????????? wow!!!!!!! thats crazy.. im gonna try it lol hehe not jus playin
YOu are an idiot! to post something like this you have some nerve telling people taking all that stuff is okay. What the Hell is the matter with you???My brother tryed to kill himself when he was 15 with an od of asprin and almost seceded. Get your head out of your ass!!!!
*succeeded
*tried
dude i overdosed atempted suicide took 25 thousand mg of ibuprofin man..
Hi
I suffer from severe Depression
And I have to admit by what you said it strikes me as if you came on here to encourage people to take an overdose. I know what its like to go into hospital have discusting charcol shoved down your throat and have your stomach pumped ive been there done that more times then I can remember.
Now all I want to say is that if you seriously took all them tablets you probably wouldnt be alive now to reply back to me and if thats the case i’m sorry it was slow and painful.
have done that as well
haha..i took 34..andd everything up there(the mental home thingy) happened but arghh dont try it again it does something to your liver and you feel soo weak mann and all you can smell is powerful ibroprofin argh and it isnt nice and the worst part is when u vomitt..
it’s HORRIBLE but the mental institution was AWSOME..
andd why did god and jesus come into this subject??
oh and after your friend is better..well jus giv her a card and tell her u’l always be there for her..then she wont feel like everyones against her and(though i doubt it) she’l eventually stop..andd tell her too look ahead, life isn’t that badd(basiacally: LIE) but be ther for her thats the most you rreally can do…and givv chocolates cause there LOVELY!!:P:P haha..if she want ‘em and i think its sweet of u, i kno sumtimes u dunt wanna tell the police cause you friend said no and u jus wanna help the most u cann since you cant tell someone who might take action wich ur friend might not like >_< beent in your friend situation..we;ll i dunt obv know her problems butt..iv hadd mine;)
just be there for her when she needs you.
when i was 14 i took alot too but it was a suicide attemp nd all that happened was i threw up alott nd i was dizzy, tired, and my stomach hurted like hell but i wished i did die
I dont see whyy youu wouldd tell people that look at this that 40 ibuprofen doesnt do anything to youu. Im 15 and i was addicted to ibuprofen after i tore my left quad completly in halff, it got bad enough to the point that i was taking 10 at a time several times a day. The doctor told me i’ll be lucky if my liver hasnt failed by my mid 20s – early 30s. Kids that read your comment will think its “cool” to take alot of otc pain reducers mixed with other things because you make it sound like its nothing and a great experience and the truth is, its not! It causes serious problems for people and has the potential to end lives. Think about what you’re saying and how people will view it before you post idiotic comments like that.
Sam you were very lucky.
I have overdosed, but not on Ibuprofens.
It was mentioned that anybody could get a gastric lavage and I had that done.
I can tell you that it was not fun, nor is the charcoal.
Take care of yourself and anyone else that has overdosed.
I have never overdosed again since I had the gastric lavage and would not recommend anyone to try this
Ibuprofen can kill you, tryed to kill myself years ago.. (35) 500mg acetaminophen. roughly 10 grams from what the doctor at the time told me. Convulsions, loss of color, feeling of cold/numbness, slowed heart rate. You can Die from it, just dumb luck that i survived. No liver damage to this day.
quite honestly, nothing i could say would ever come close to properly addressing the magnitude of the stupidity and irresponsibility you exhibited in your comment.
for a moment, I felt some despair, followed by hope that your friend would realize that you care about her, followed by an irresistable compulsion to slap myself back into awareness.
with a friend like you, someone who would turn to an anonymous web page full of casual visitors, for advice about a potentially life threatening situation, your overdosing friend needs two things: medical advice, and a friend with a mature, sane, and sensible grasp on EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
Please, do yourself a favor, and learn the following phone number: 911. It is short, simple, and useful in situations where someone’s life might potentially be at risk.
Consider this one a ‘gimme’ from the Universe; your friend, likely a drama queen, was not in any real danger (unless she has preexisting medical conditions, though I doubt you would be aware of any, given your seeming lack of knowledge in this area of life)… should you ever find yourself in another situation, where there is immediate danger, consider calling 911.
For example…resisting the urge to Google “I’m being held up. What do I do?” and calling nine eleven (another way of describing it is ‘nine one one’) will save you precious years in recieving advice.
If you don’t want to listen, and I’ll assume that you are a 15 year old female who will not listen to reason, consider this: 911 Cops are cute. LOL ^_^
Talk all you want about stupidity and such. With the name “Jesus” it all becomes a religious factor. How about you try to step yourself down a notch or two from a “god like” feeling to a personable feeling. Show some sympathy and caring. Maybe then people will be more inclined to listen to you. On a web board such as this, people want to hear from other “people” not others who wish to call themselves a messiah or god. Maybe you need to analyze yourself and your own actions before you attempt to fix others……
It’s pronounced ‘hay-zeus’.
Hahahahahaha! I love it.
Your ignorance is blinding. Try looking outside of your own culture once in a while.
Wow, the stupidity of your response is amazingly preposterous. Just, wow. I don’t think the son of God hangs out in internet forums… just for future reference.
did any of you ever consider the fact that jesus is an actual hispanic name..? well i guess ignorance is bliss…
I believe his name is pronouced { heɪˈsus } he is not leaning towards the Messiah role
jesus…you are cute. LOL ^_^
When acting a complete smart-arse, you might as well check your spelling very carefully so as to avoid possible ridicule.
“precious years in recieving advice”
‘I’ before ‘E’ except after ‘C’, my dear.
ya’ll trippin over yourselfs none of ya’ll have done this. btw if you did u would be dead trust me thats how my friend’s dad killed himself.
You want to be a jerk? Here’s a true story. I took anti-freeze. Mixed it in a crown royal glass half way then filled the rest with Pepsi. It was nasty and tasted like syrup. But was my choice. That was around midnight. The next morning, I woke up (ALIVE STILL, Lord I don’t know how) and felt as if the world was on top of me. My brain felt like it was going to explode and as if I had been held upside down the whole night and the blood rushed to my head. I could barely move. My mom came in my room and told me I needed to go to school, (she had no idea) and I screamed at her and told her no. First time yelling at my mom. I fell out of bed and onto the floor and crawled the whole way down the stairs, sliding down a step one at a time. I couldn’t focus and I was drooling, my speech was slurred and I was scared to death. I laid my car keys on the glass table next to the door and told her she could move my car. I crawled back up the stairs and into bed. She didn’t believe me when I told her that I was sick. She left for work and my dad came home from his night shift. He heard me getting sick and had to explain to my mom that I really was sick. I threw up for two days straight and went to school on the third day and was very tired. My first period teacher told me to go home because I looked green. I told him no and went to school. That was the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. I will never do that again. If I get near anti-freeze, I get queezy. But, I had a CT-Scan done and everything is fine. This is not a joke and it is not a lie.
..WOWW..WUTT A BUNCCHH OF QuEERSS..
…WTFF??!!
ALL OF YYUHH NEED A MUTHAFUCKiN LiFE iF ALL YUH THiNK YUH FEEL ALL BADAZZ OVERDOSiN NN SHiTT!!
FOR REALL!!
has nothing to do with feeling badass
Jannette, your comment isn’t to make you feel badass at all I guess.
Fo shizz
Just realised all the effort you put into pressing the capital lock key/shift key for your one sentence.
I’m gonna have to agree with Jess on this one. It has nothing to do with feeling badass. (you mispelled it by the way Jannett). This is where people can talk about what has happened to them and try to help other people. You shouldn’t be a bitch. If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut your big fucking mouth.
i took 100 ibruprofen last week mixture of 200mg & 400mg & ended up in hospital for 2 days ,I had to speak to a shrink to make sure i wasnt at risk from doing it again .Nearly a week later & i still feel like sh*t legs feel very weak & feel like im going to vomit all the time PLEASE DONT DO THIS
hey i got a ? i just took 3 ibuprofen like a half hour ago and 3 more i know it stupid but im in alot of pain, what can that do to me??
so earlier today i took 6 Ib800 and two oxy codones and i have all the signs and symptoms of overdose and my mom will not take me to the hospital what do i do???
I know, I would find a better, more successful way to kill myself, so that I wouldn’t have to go through talking to a shrink. It must have been hell.
Why are you so negative towards talking to “my kind?” Are you afraid we might make you own up to your emotions?
Dr. D
You really just need to stop commenting. During my life, I’ve seen a couple dozen of “your kind.” Some I saw for a couple years, some for a few months, some were merely consults. Some were licensed therapists, some were psychologists, some were psychiatrists, some were social workers. Most did very little to help. Perhaps, because they had an attitude like you. I’m now seeing a wonderful therapist (PhD).
There is great cause to be so negative towards talking to your kind. Many of your kind are completely clueless, pompous twits who think they have all the answers because they passed their exams in college. Guess what? You don’t know squat.
I’ve been severely harmed by more than one therapist. These therapists assume they know what is what. They do not listen. They are judgmental. They are a disgrace to their profession. It is not possible to “own up to your emotions” when you are being belittled by your therapist.
Random, finding a good therapist is NOT easy. It may take years of trying. But it’s worth it once you find him/her. It’s at that point you are able to work toward learning to cope with your emotions.
Oh my gosh. I dont’ know you, but I love everything you just said. Thank you for telling Dr. D how it’s really done
Dr. D,
he’s not talking about your kind. He’s referring to real shrinks. Frankly, I don’t think you’re a shrink. I think you’re one of those people who devoted their lives to becoming a shrink, but never could, and therefore you failed in fulfilling your dreams. In effect, you go around pretending to be a doctor just to make yourself feel better about yourself.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you now are going to reply with a bunch of info and attempt to prove to me that you’re a real doctor, but it’s probably phony so don’t even bother. But, if you are a doctor or a shrink, you’re even more of a failure than if you weren’t. I’m not surprised that you’re on this website if you were. Because you’re so condescending, arrogant, and insulting towards people seeking help on this page, I can’t imagine what you’re like to your patients. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion, which is so plausible that I think it’s probable, that you’re on this website because you tried to overdose on Ibuprofen for being such a failure at being a doctor. You’re not helping these people. It’s almost as if you’re trying to get them to kill themselves.
Please, don’t say anything again, or if you do, say it like a real doctor and not a phony, and if you are a doctor, try not to be so obvious that you’re a failure. I recommend you start by getting off this website, stop making more people suicidal, and actually try to help people. Or, if you’re not a doctor, which you probably aren’t, give up now at pretending to be one. You’re doing more harm than help. I suggest you doing this by shutting the fuck up.
WELL SAID MY FRIEND!!!
opk well they could be telling the truth but were trying to GET HIGH LIKE STUPID HIGH SCHOOLERS
People also haven’t considered the dosage of each pill…200mg per pill for your average OTC ibuprofien pill is fairly weak. I usually use two 200mg pills to cure a headache (400mg total) ; 3 pills (600mg) for really bad migraines.
I’ve seen prescribed 800mg ibuprofen, but you can only get that if you’ve harmed yourself severely.
WELL, TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE… LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING… YOU SHOULD BECAUSE YOUR’E NOT ARMENIAN.
call 911
Ibuprofen might not instantly kill you but will kill you over the time. You liver will have some permanent damage. Some of your organs will not function properly that will result to death.
well first of all it IS possible to take that many and not die or have serious problems ive been there and done that in attempt to overdose a while ago cuz i was all depressed (im better now and would never attempt that again) but yeah been there done that
Ibuprofen can cause liver damage if taken too often. Also people who take an entire bottle of aspirin just get an very upset stomach and tinnitus. If a person really wanted to kill themselves they would not be taking over the counter meds such as these. I had a friend commit suicide and she took overdoses of prescribed medicine. She took 30 Xanax, 50 Calan, and was drinking alcohol. There was another drug she took, but I can’t remember what it was. Anyhow, the Xanax is an anxiolytic, the Calan slows down the heart rate, and the alcohol just intensified the effect. She really wanted to die and knew just about how much and what to take.
make them throw up
That is actually is not the best option in every scenario.
When in doubt – CALL 9-1-1
I hope you have visited the doctor already. It is not advisable that you wait for someone to resolve such an emergnecy over the net. Possibility of the following are high: Toxic reaction – in exceptional cases it can be fatal. An ibuprofen overdose, although usually benign, can occasionally produce serious toxicityOther consequences may be Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, mild central nervous system depression, coma, tachycardia, apnea, metabolic acidosis with or without respiratory alkalosis, hematemesis, and oliguric renal failure. None of this can be managed at home. I repeat please visit the doctor asap.
If your 18 years under,and overdosing to suicide…
Possible Refelections….JAIl
Or MENTEL HOSPITAL
I R N0ob Str3nTh
Or the Montel (Williams) Hospital.
I knew a beautiful girl. 17. Ready to graduate high school.
She got mad at her boyfriend and thought she would “teach” him a lesson.
She took (I’m not sure how many) Tylenol. She thought they could pump her stomach and then everything would be all right. Well, I guess by the time she told someone (she was totally lucid) her liver was destroyed.
She died a terrible death. She knew what was happening.
It can take up to a month for you to die!
Nothing anyone could do.
why are people wasting time on forums like this?
people are out there od’ing on addys and shit.
much more serious than ibuprofen.
Wow, i’m really glad i seen this. My boyfriend of 3 yrs. just left me.. i thought everything was okay between us after we had a huge argument this morning, i know he’s not worth my life, because my daughters way more valuable to me, but it did hurt that he could just up and leave, i wanted to hear from other peoples opinions thats why i came on here.. i know it was a stupid thought but when your in pain and it feels like your whole world just came crashing done what else are you supposed to think about? After seeing this article i changed my thoughts i wanted to teach him a lesson a serious one, but he’s not worth my life, when he doesn’t even want to be a part of it. To all you overdosers, believe me i know how you feel.. i don’t think your stupid or anything because life is the hardest thing, and it does feel like death would be way easier, but believe me you’ll get through the hard times, even when it feels like you won’t, and losing your lives not worth any problem you might be having, i don’t care who you are, you are important to SOMEONE out there, just find that someone.. I’m no counselor, ad i’m not trying to preach to anyone but seriously i think everyone can make a difference even if you think you can’t, the little things matter too.
I took an overdose like a week ago. Is it worth seeing a doctor? Im feeling ok now, I only get headaches but I nearly always had before. I havent told anyone because I don’t want them to know I had a suicide attempt. What should I do? what will happen if I tell my doctor?
hey ill cure ur headache no drugs no charge just me holla at ur boy ~HAtER~
HATER WHAT A PRICK YOU ARE , MY SISTER WEE BOY GOT SHOT DEAD INFRONT OF HER FACE SHE TOOK 26 PARACETMOL AND BRUFOEN SHE DIED 3 WEEKS LATER PAINFULL DEATH, GROW UP SUICIDE DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE HER WEE BOY WAS 5 YRS OLD SHOT DEAD ASSHOLE MY SISTER WAS ONLY 22YRS OLD
Seeing the doctor will put you in a mental hospital but still recomended,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not every suicide attempt lands you in a mental ward, but the will DEFINATELY do a psych eval and work up to determine if you are still suicidal. If you are, then they will probably admit you to the psych ward (most hospitals have one for this reason) for anywere between 24-78 hour suicide watch or observation. Regardless, if you have thought about or attempted suicide, I advise at least going to talk to a councelor at a community counceling center, a religious adviser (if you are a religious person), school counceler, or a hot line or something. There is no shame, it is confidential. and it might help out alot just to help you get a better grip on what is going on in your life.
no it wont my aunt she took like 200 of them pills and they didnt put her in the mental hospital she just got rushed to the er after that idk what happend i tlked to her and she said she could feel her self letting go and she was trying so hard to hold on and stay with em but yea i think it was ibprofin but i dont try to do this stupid shit its dumb and gets u no where but hell if u die
If you have true migraines, I encourage you to see a cardiologist. I have a friend who suffered daily from migraines for years. It turned out that she had a hole between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Supposedly, many people have this, but it never poses a problem. However, they repaired the hole, and she is now free of migraines for the first time in many, many years. Hope this helps. Joyce
I took an overdose about a week ago. I feeling ok now. If I tell a doctor what will happen knowing it was a suicide attempt?
yes ur gonna die get over it
you are an asshole, hater… maybe YOU should try an overdose? or maybe drink some gasoline.
Well Drink some gasoline and put a match down ur throat..
My freind had VEANGENCE and did it…
Holy shit… how old is everyone in this forum?? 12?? lol… i haven’t seen so much bullshit and nonsense since I was 15 in the hallways of my highschool. Drug abuse and overdose is NO fucking joke! I came on here to look up some possibly answers for my girlfriend who LAST NIGHT called me in a panic saying that she did some cocaine, got a head ache and took 2, 400 ml’s of ibuprofen. within 25 minutes she said that her arms and legs went numb, she was having a hard time breathing, she felt panicky, the room was spinning… she felt the urge to puke but couldn’t… AND YOU YOUNG PUNK ASS’S are sitting here bragging about taking 40 ibuprofens and making a joke of it??? LOL… if you all wanna talk SHIT, after reading this, go pop 10 ibuprofen’s and come back tomorrow and tell me how you felt!
cocain is a natural anesthetic and one of the side effects of it is numbness. Your girlfriend most likely didnt know that as well as you and had a panic attack making her want to gag not throw up
she probably took the advil to stop the burning in her nose after she snorted it.
C-Dot… your girlfriend’s problem was COCAINE, not ibuprofen… and you think these other people are the idiots? ha. You’re dumb.
Hah Hater, Your not the kind of person who should be on a site such as this. People are looking for advice and answers. You just want to be a little asshole. Get your ass back on myspace and leave the intalectual conversations to people who care.
@ raptor
I recommend also leaving the INTELLECTUAL arguments to people who are INTELLECTUALS and know how to spell.
There is nothing at all intellectual about this forum. All of you (including me) had to go looking for an overdose amount to find this website and then you all read this shit and thought ‘I’ll tell the world my sob story’ or “i’m so much smarter than these stupid people”. The fact is, you’re all here contributing to this idiocy. And yes, I know, I am too.
Jenny,
Your doctor is confidential, go talk to him/her. If you are worried about side effects it is okay, you are clear from the obvious danger now. But you need to talk to someone who will help you. Remember your doctor cannot speak to anyone, but if you are underage and sign as a codependent tell them what you are saying is confidential. Good luck and remember that there is always an answer.
seriously whats wrong with you people. If all you want to do is kill yourslef, and have tried to kill your self, then
you have bigger problems then worrying about side effects later on in your miserable lifes. Stop wanting to die.
I’m not saying that you shouldnt take any pain medications, but if you want to pop a few more then 400mg(highest recomended
amount) because the your in alot of pain then do it. AND DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!!
and to answer julie’s question, your friend is in no trouble and she’ll be just fine.
for example: i wiegh 165 pounds and im 5′9″. i had a horrible headache and wanted to go out drinking with some friends.
so i poured 20 pills into my pocket before i left the house. By the end of the night i took 17 200mg ibprofen, and about
1 gram of cocain, and 9 shots of captain morgan and i was throwing up by 7:30 because of the pills.
Basically your body knows whats best and it will take care of itself in many different ways.
lol very true
a gram of coke is ridic must of knocked u sillaaay
Wow are you a dumb ass? not everyone is stupid like you and uses illegal substances and alchohal to deal with their emotional problems.
do you think that people with mental problems realise it’s stupid at a tragic time such as this. if they want death, if they do not feel happy with their lives their minds are not right. can you honestly expect someone with a twisted mind, such as those with mental disorders have. this is from experience, you don’t know how they feel, so don’t judge them. if you ended up like that and could empathise it’d be a whole different story.
Not everyone is stupid like you and can’t spell alcohol. Anyways, I doubt a self-satisfied egomaniac bastard like you could ever understand true despair.
Dude its sounds like YOU tried to kill YOURSELF last night. WTF is wrong with you? Frickin cokeheads man…..
Yes, your body will take care of itself. Just like when you break a bone – and it magically heals with no medical intervention. Or when you have a gunshot wound and it magically takes care of itself. Or when you cut yourself badly and it heals without stitches! Who needs doctors?! Your body heals itself!
alot of people are aware of that but its mostly because of damaged organs or huge loss of blood wich is the original creation for stiches to seal up a wound with constant bleeding… i mean think about it if you got cut throw your whole leg up and about 5 inches deep and say “its gonna heal eventually” and keep walking your probably gonna die but idk people on here say THE CRAZIEST shit. suicide is a serious thing i still do it its nothing to be proud of my so called “Friends” ditch me out of eveything i move on and then a shit load of ppl treat me like shit for the past 2 months me and my brothers *bestest friends e consider eachother brothers* have been cutting me out of conversations and activitys it makes me feel like shit i cut myself to show them im not afraid to leave them in this world they say they would change constantly. but they dont so i have agreed “if they care about me they will come or try to find me” so im gonna go somewere else. overdosing has huge effects people are fiuced up theres a kid in my health class always braging about smoking its a not a new thing congrats you do what everyone else does do you feel special? no people need to learn that this isnt cool or alright this is a HUGE and SERIOUS topic which shouldnt be talked about as a joke my friend hadiya just got outta jail from running away and she toldme verything was a lie except that time with overdosing im not gonna lie i was scared for her because she wasnt going to well before they rushed her. and you guys sit here talking about it for what? beause you think your cool? because you want attention? no dont do it for attention because one day you just might fuck up and actually die. i didnt right in caps because im gonna trust you can read. thank you for your time and reading with me
Was wandering the internet curious about ibuprofen overdoses
because I overdosed on it ages ago, and remember a nearly
week-long hospital stay, blood gas tests, perfusion IV, etc.
Ummm… It’s not easy to kill yourself on ibuprofen (for any
of you who think it would be), and actually has to be a long,
painful death. You kill your kidneys, and then die after they
shut down. I got tired of waiting (didn’t realize it could still
happen), and finally called the poison control center, drove
myself to the ER (hoping to pass out and run into something and
die on the way), and lived to tell the tale.
I suggest getting help. God bless.
how many paracetamols / iburophen do u have to take for it not to kill you..
just to knock u out n that…
Last month, I took and ibuprofen overdose. I had 50 pills. I’m not sure what the mg was though.
This sure isn’t the only time, because I used to regularly pop 10 at a time, and I have taken 20 at a time at least twice.
The doctors know and they didn’t send me anywhere. [I'm only 14 and was already under the treatment of a psychologist].
I had a liver function test, and so far, there is only minor damage from my drinking plus the advil.
I’m really freaked out that something more major could happen..
Does anyone know
“/
i’m 13 and last night i took 25 paracetamols. Last week a girl called terri.anne (16) died a few days after taking them. She died sunday night, i’m also frightened and dont want to tell my mum. i used to drink alot and was in hospital for drinking too much. i don’t know what i should do and while i was on healthoma.com and i came across your comment i decided to write back, i hope you can reply.
Alcohol and drugs are not the problem try AA or your church (if you go) for help. You need to work on your issues then you won’t use the bad stuff. It worked for me! And now I love life!
dude stfu hes 13 he doesnt need AA what hes doing is just a shout for help
Orlaigh, Your parents should be looked at by the police for letting you become an alchoholic. Your only 13 and your already involved in things that I haven’t done and I’m 40.
why are all the parents allowing their 13 year olds access to drugs and alcohol?
keep taking that much ibuprofen or such drugs on a regular basis, and yeah you will die a SLOOOWWW Painful death. Your kidneys will start to fail and then shut down all together. Your kidneys are what filters toxins from your system, without that all the other organs get affected.
Is it possible for someone to to overdose on ibuprofen in such a great quantity that it
is mistaken at the hospital as symptoms of Hepatitis?
This article seems CRAZY!! It’s says “doses above 400 mg/kg are
considered an overdose and can result into any of the above
consequences.” I weigh 300 lbs which equates to 136 kg. With
the standard 200mg pills I need to take 272 pills before I
would be considered in overdose???!!! How can this be!!!
Um, I am not a doctor so dont take my advice
but doctors give out 600mg up to 800mg I think it is.
but that is only every 12 hrs…
So how can over 400mg be an overdose?
Motrin does help pain, just make sure u eat with it and DONT take it every day.
I was told by a Docotor that i could take 4 regular ibuprofen and that would equal a dr.’s 800 mg dose so that i did not have to pay for a more expensive script.
i was told three not four by my doctor…i new it wasnt helping…v.v
400mg/kg isnt 400MG its 400 MG PER KG. its according to your weight. so if youre lets say maybe 110 pounds, thats about 50 kg. so youd need to take 400 mg of ibu. for ever kg (400×50) thats 20,000mg, which is 100 of the 200mg pills. so if you’re 110 pounds youd need to take about 100 before there is any serious effects of overdose. not if you take 400mg. which is nothing. doctors prescribe 800mg pills to take 2-3 times a day all the time for pain, so chill out everybody if you’ve taken less than 100+. youll get a headache, stomachache and vomit.
You didn’t figure the math out correctly! I am in the healthcare field! Trust Me!
Actually he did figure out the math right.
I would have to take 30 just to get to the 100mg/kg danger point. At 400mg/kg, I would have to take 120. I’m sure the more you take the faster it would affect you. You might die more slowly with less or do more harm. 120 seems like more than enough to kill someone though.
Last year I once took 10 pills in a day and the packet said to only take 8… am I going to die? I don’t want to die, I’m only 78. Please someone help me.
damn! i tried to od just now. i took like 14 pills cos they were the only thing in the medicine cabinet that looked like smarties. i just wanted to die! i also downed some gee’s linctus along with it.. i then chose to google ‘ibuprofen overdose’ and all i get is you guys saying it will damage my insides and my body will fail piece by piece.. AAAAAHHH im to cowardly to die painfully!
haha, i did the same thing. (i took 5 pills and was hoping it would make me die it my sleep or somehting, since it says on the bottle that ibuprofen can cause drowsiness) should’ve tried other pills. i am also too much of a wimp to die painfully.
haha, you guys are just so funny… i overdose on food all the time and hope to explode one day…. lol. ibpropine and paracetamol overdoses are the worst that i have taken they dont do anything much to you except make yoiu violently sick. i was sick the whole day and night,… it was nasty, i couldnt help it i had to enduce it.. that was the last time i tock that overdose, was in hospital for 3 or 4 days and had temporary liver damage but nothing serious. i find its much better to overdose on sleeping tablets or anti depressents and anti psychotics, it feel sbetter and you actually kind of lose awearness so thats good, a break from your problems.
i am not encouraging anyone to do this. but i find that paracetamol and ibprophin and other pain killers are almost useless – they make you feel crap and not good like anto depressents, sleeping pills and anti psychiootics.
Sarah, I love you, II also like to overdose on food, hehehe FUHK DRUGS! nigga! By the way I like you’re name!
Hey sarah…i feel the same
Way…my gf left me cuz i was
Socidal…if n e thing..

I don’t understand a sentence you said…
you goan DIEE. dumbass people trying to kill themselves just cause they don’t live in a fairytale world. y’all fucking suck. if you want to kill yourself, at least go through with it. don’t do some stupid shit and then come crying that you changed your mind. no respect for suicide without legitimate reason, even less than no respect for dramatic and failed suicide attempts.
Ever heard of depression, dickhead?
Some people just weren’t meant to live.
hi there im 15 i got diagnoised with a brain tumor in april 09 i had brain surgary in october n it lead to 4 over opps im really dwn n yer iv tryed oding alot i think i also suffer from an eatin disorder too and i think alot of these people are depressed sooo actully have some respect it ant there fults we dont choose to become depressed maybe have a bit of sypathy for these people!!!!!
Man i just wanted to know if I i should use ibuprofen for my neckache and I get this unbelievably long war about suicide. get a life if you wanna kill yourself go ahead because your life obviously sucks to have a serious thought like that. and if you don’t wanna kill yourself and think the idea of it is pointless then amen to you, your life doesn’t completely suck.
Every year of my life i wait for my father to call me on my birthday but he doesn’t, and every few years he will call and say he will visit but he doesn’t. I call him on fathers day and wish him a happy fathers day but he doesn’t answer. how would you feel if your father hated you and you can do nothing about it? and your mom is struggling to pay bills and keep her children happy without any child support from daddy.
so fuck you guys if you want to commit suicide you are pathetic. why end your life if nothing comes after it and don’t give me that heaven shit because you committed a sin. having a life is great because you are alive.
that person that commented above me stfu yeah you might have been through some stuff but people have been worse through it may not seem like it to you as you may be soo closed on yourself but open your eyes to the world yeah suicide isnt pathetic some people have soo much more to deal with other a longer period of time people who want to commit suicide are NOT pathetic they may be expirenceing great pain and self loathing ect and so its insensitive to call them names if they are considering a way of escaping the pain they are feeling so stop judging people you dont have any understanding of, you clearly dont have a clue what it is like for some of the people that feel emotional pain do you.
You’re such a fucking worthless dick fuck! Yes Fred. YOU. You’re insulting comments. ONCE FUCKING AGAIN, LET ME MAKE THIS FUCKING CLEAR TO YOU SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WITH THAT SMALL LITTLE BRAIN OF YOURS AND THAT THICK ASS SKULL… Teens and people can come to this web site to talk. Not to put each other down. Not to congradulate each other on doing what they did, but being thankful for each other that they survived. It’s scary. You wanna be the asshole that pushes someone to commit suicide? You’re doing it right now. You are putting people down that are on here to talk. Back the fuck off you stupid punk ass prick! Go do something productive with your time rather than putting people who need help down.
i took 9 ibuprofen about 45minutes ago. only one other person knows and he’s extreamly worried about me. i know it wont kill me. but what will it do?
I just 10 and i died.
Then you wouldnt be here typing dumbass >.>
Lol…so true, so true
VINCENZO – “By the end of the night i took 17 200mg ibuprofen, and about 1 gram of cocaine, and 9 shots of captain morgan and i was throwing up by 7:30 because of the pills.”
YOU ABSOLUTE JOKER. how the f*ck did u know it was the pills making u throw up, u anal-craving c*nt. You have the nerve to tell people to stop wanting to die, then you explain how u’re a heavy drinker and a drug abuser…what kind of idiot would take advice from a drugged up dick farmer like u? just shut up.
Idk about actually bein able to overdose on them,, cause 2 weeks ago i was doin some shots and i got some bad news and i tryed to overdose on them… take in mind im 20 years old 170 pounds and i found one of those like industrial size bottels that had like 500 200 mgs or so in them.. it was a closed bottle and well i feel asleep the next day my friend counted what was left and told me that i took 345.. some overdose.. but the liver pains do happen when i try and drink liqure.. heh like thats gonna stop me
I did a similar thing a year ago i took a whole bottle of 200mg and I didn’t overdose… I didn’t even have liver pain. I also had blood tests and other tests done a few months after and my liver was just fine if not in better then normal condition. I weighed 145 pounds at the time so overdose seems a little profound to me.
i’m almost 23 and 220lbs. i’ve been havin tooth pains for 2 days and today i took 12 pills (12 of the 200mg). i didn’t really think about the “do not exceed 6 pills in 24hrs” warning on the back of the label. i wasn’t trying to overdose on ibuprophen i was js trying to take away my teeth pain. i think tho my body has gotten used to ibuprophen cuz my tooth still hurts. so far nothing has happened. not gonna lie kinda scared to go to sleep but i’m exhuasted and my teeth hurt lol.
try having the friggin’ tooth pulled out.
I’m not a Dr., but I think you’ll be okay. You might feel a little queezy later on, but you should be okay
Im taking 60 tonight.
I want to overdose.
not die.

hmmmmm then whats the point?
your going to vomit.. and mess up your liver for the
rest of your life. and who knows you might be one of those strange orrences of people that happen to die to too much advil in your system … that doesnt really make any sense
at all except that you are wanting attention and this
isnt exactly thw way to do it.. why dont you just get drunk
drink as much liqure as you can.. and when you cant see anymore have your friend pour you more shots.
that would be better then od’n on ibuprofen…. you will thank me later
…no it won’t. alcohol poisonning is much, much worse. more painful, and more dangerous. anyone who thinks popping advils or ibuprofen is a good way to get a high is too desperate. even if you DID feel high, it would be a very unpleasant one. like having too much nutmeg, or drinking a teaspoon of antifreeze windshield fluid.
BLAH that crap is nasty.
You’ll notice in your comment, tristan, that you have just given that girl all the attentions she wants. So it would appear talking about overdosing is all that needs to be done to get some much craved attention.
Man you fellas is on drugs
how many ibuprofen do u have to take to just pass out?
Man, you guys are funny. I usually take 3 Ibuprofen on occasions of pain, even though it is more then the recommended dose…occasionally is okay. Anyhow, I took 3 this morning and accidentally took 3 again this afternoon because it just slipped my mind. I got all worried that maybe I would overdose, but afterreading some of these stories, I know I’m fine. Thanks for the entertaining info.
i was just wondering if the (sensible) use of ibuprofen can affect me when i’m older. I get migraines alot, and also have slight back problems, i don’t take them everyday or anything, but i just wanted to know as i seem to get through quite alot. Thanks!
my friend has been feeling depressed lately, and thought overdosing would be the thing to do. she took 5 IBU and so it was 1,000 Mg. right after her head started pounding, will it get worse? HELP!!! please e mail me at lovedance_cheer827@yahoo.com
ok today i took over 15 Ibuprofen pills.
what will be the consequinces of my health.
and also whats the limit of pills before you die??!
Oh for god sake! Have you not been reading the comments in this ‘forum’? that would tell you all that you need to know.
I’m sure you’re fine… NO WORRIES my child!
Honestly. Everyone calm down!
Less than 10 ibuprofens will NOT KILL you!
So everyone who is worried because they took 8 or 9, you are fine. Unless you’ve been doing this for years, then I’d suggets seeing your doctor.
I’ve taken around 150,200MG pills [=30,000MG] and i’m still here.
As for my liver, minor damage.
@ VINCENZO- your a retard. noone cares.
@ wuzzittoya – THANK YOU. obviously these people need to know that. It’s torture to die that way. Months of pain, and not being able to go to the bathroom on your own.
50, 200mg pills at once only knocked me out for a few hours.
and those of you who want to get knocked out, do you know how stupid you are?! i’ve been addicted to ibuprofen. it is NOT fun.
Ask your doctor for some mild sleeping pills.
Problem solved.
i dont wanna sound stupid but can 40 kill you at tall ?
OMG! i just took 8 pills in the past 10 minutes. my friends and i were just messing around, then i started getting a headache and my stomach is aching. i know i didnt take that many but i am still worried. ive done it before and i think it might be somewhat of an addiction. My friends cut and have pain killer addictions, what will happen if i continue this? all of my friends just started out with little stuff like this but, now they have all attempted suicide at least once. i dont feel well, kinda depressed actually. please help me. thank you, i am making a promise i will not hurt myself, not yet.
i just took 3 more. i feel better now.
if i take any more will i pass out?
i just took 11 total. if i take any more will i be okay?
Quit talking them u just killing ur self 10+ of them and u r at risk of DIEING
No joke, you need to just knock it the F off you dummy… if you’re worried about what’s going to happy, really, STOP taking them then.
obviously ibuprofen is not the way for me!
i dont want to get sick, i just want to leave my life peacefully
I just took nine and Im walking on sunshine
I think you all should stop ,first of all, trying to overdose on common household pills, it is an attempt to get attention not to get death. If you really want to die use something much stonger. Ibuprofen is a great pain reliever. I need to take at least 6- 10 at a time though because I have built a tolerance to them. Yesterday I took an entire bottle(50pills/200mg) just to keep my pain at bay, and here I am today, feeling fine. I understand that for some people this may be too much, but I think your body will let you know.
Bit late, but they are taking common over the counter drugs because quite often, it isn’t necessarily ’simple’ to get stronger pills.
Not in Britain anyway.
I mean I only got strong Codeine/Co-codamol pills due to my mother having extreme migraines, prescribed by the doctor (she didn’t like them and gave them to me to use as headache tablets), and all they did was calm me down.
You know, a gun would probably be the best option. It works a charm, and is pretty quick to do the trick. And a bonus is that if you live in the US, you’ll be able to pick one up pretty easily too – Just ask your four year old cousin if you can borrow theirs.
Plus another added bonus is that it instantly renders the “victim” unable to post retarded comments on to websites (such as this one, for example)
Let me know how you get on.
gosh i just did it.. a gun and a bulit through my head…
iN WiTh a BuLiT, OuT WiTh HeArTs. lol
Yeah, because this is so funny… ? Shut the fuck up.
U GUYS R ALL SO FRiCKKEN STUPiD! DRUGS R GAYYY…STOP DOiN THiS SHiT TO UR BODY PEOPLE! DAYYYUUUM!
try learning to TYPE YOURRR DAMNN WORDSSSS DAYYYYUUUMMM
so…just took 25, 200 mg each. plus 25 aspirin… I know anyone reading this probably doesn’t care, but I’m not typing this so you all can tell me I’m stupid. Only am I typing this so the people who know me will see that I truly don’t care anymore. I’ve been doing this for the last 3 days and I know that in a matter of hours I wont be awake. So this is basicaly…. A good-bye note to anyone that knows/thought they knew me. The rest of you,….
Sincerely,
Megan Victoria Pecoraro
im sorry, i do care about you tough. i know it is hard and so i laugh about it but i cant care for myslef either. i know its sad. i always think of ways to kill and hurt myself. i know its wrong but i cant help it. im sorry that you dont care about your self. please try seeing your doctor and see if they can help you? i have tried andf my doctor cant really help me more then medicine. but you should really try yours. i hope u feel better soon.
just took 10 more…
anyone wanna b hooked up with some wicked pills that do a better job than these weak ibuprofen? i call them death discs…it’s cool cos u need 1 to kill u and it says on the pack u need all 10, so if you start takin them then realise it’s not wot u want, u get screwed over and die anyway. awesome
you should so not be advertising that on this site or on the internet at all but I’ll admit I did find that entertaining given the context.
lol I know… me too
It’s sad that you need to write on a website that people you know will ever read… Get some help, love, as soon as you can

A Friend Of Mine Has Taken 1 Paracetamol & 7 ibuprofen Will This Do Her Any Harm? Write Back Asap Plez Very Important!
i took 5 and feel great, but i took mine for pain not for shits and giggles =D
5×400mg just right and im 22 – 180lbs
you guys are retards trying to OD/gethigh on ibuprofen, my stepdad died from kidney failure because of advil/ibuprofen
im kind of greatful he died cause my mom got 50k niggas
IM RICH BIATCH MUAHHAHA
50 k ur really stupid thats not even enough for a year dumb kid
Actually anything more than 400 mg (2*200 mg pills) is considered toxic and not recommended. People who habitually take more than this amount slowly develop a tolerance without even realizing it. So after some time they need to take more and more to ease the pain.
However, taking 20 or 50 pills is just crazy. If you wanna kill yourself, go and subscribe for an After-Death eye donation, kidney donation, liver donation, heart donation program and then slash ur wrists in a bathtub. It does’nt hurt and leaves ur organs donatable if you are discovered not long after you die. So this way not only do you get to die but you can give a few people new life that they desperately need.
Still, no matter what your troubles, cherish your life. It is very precious, look at all those people who get cancers and AIDS and die long painful deaths. Celebrate LIFE itself, even if you don’t have money or fame or somebody to love. Death is a terrible tragedy.
Ahmed Sadozai.
death is not a terrible tragedy. it is a natural part of life.
Depends how it wants to arrive

help.

You have to be incredibly stupid to use ibuprofen recreationally or to kill emotional pain. Any 12-year-old with access to OTC medicine or even a vitamin shop can do better than that. Who the hell wants to damage their liver and suffer stomach bleeding?
stomach bleeding is nice… yuk. it tastes like shit.. it the most hardest thing i had to go thorugh my whole life, when i overdosed paracetamol, ibuprophin and asprin. yuk. will never do that again even if i am seriously suicidal, but then if i am suicidal then i wont give a shit and i will do it.. i dont know. but stomach bleeding is shit,. i cant even take paracetamol for normal pain now because as i take the tablet to my mouth i start to feel sick. i was horrible.
i just took 7 tablets of iburofen what happens now please help?
You guys are either American or retarded, hang on same difference. Why don’t you just swallow 2 tablespoons of table salt? That will kill you and it’s much cheaper than buying expensive drugs to top yourselves.
nice one
i just took 10 pills.
will i die soon?
or slowly?
i feel..weird,it might becuz i cut my wrist 2 but idk
help
Yesterday at about 11 in the day I took 16 Ibuprofen, and now I have severe abdominal pain and I feel sick. Is there anything I can do to take the pain away. I cannot tell my mum about this. Please help me, I dont want to die I am scared. Will the pain stop?
is it not funny, how when we are suicidal we are scared? i feel that way myself before i attemptsuiicide and while i am doing it but thay doesnt stop me from doing it. i know i will eventully die.
I’ve been taking IBUprofen for the last 5 years for back pain and headaches. I only need to take 1-2 a day (200 mg each, so 400mg max).
I’ve never over dosed and don’t want to. All you people trying to over dose really need to stop.
Does anyone know what will happen if i do a line or two of ibuprofen? like just a couple of 200mg pills crushed up?
i’m about 5′9 and 10stone
cheers guys
Im guna kill myself
I was just looking on the internet to see if I should be worried that I accidentally took two 400mg tablets of ibuprofen instead of the x2 200mg that I normally take if I have a headache. After doing some research, I’ve decided that that dose may overdose to a little old lady who is allergic to ibuprofen, but not a strapping 24 year old man. I’m not going to make a habit of it though.
From what they’ve said, my girlfriend took about 80 Ibuprofen and she is in Intensive Care right now and they’re watching for her kidneys. She’s fine right now but I need to some advice. I want everything to be alright because this is my girlfriend and I love her very much and I’m worried. I’m home right now but I am gonna try to get some sleep and go see her real early and stay there all day. She’s been in there for 1 1/2 days so far. I really don’t think she took 80 though because from what she said it was about 30 but they said it looked like she took about 80. It was a stressed out situation and she doesn’t ever wanna mess with anything like that again. It’s hard for me to get any sleep because I am so worried. Will someone help and maybe talk with me about this?
hey, I got braces and this herbes applience (it re-aligns the jaw) and they said to take
800mg’s of IBuprofen, and that was 2 days ago and I took 3 800mg’s of it (2400mg’s for those bad
at math), and according to this anything over 400 is an OD? I’m 14 and barely 100lbs so am
I damaging my body? No, I’m not trying to kill myself like most of the idiots up here but the
Herbes hurts so much…
help is appreciated
im 15, 147 lbs and took about 30 (maybe more) 800mg ibuprofen (24,000 mg total w/ 30) and havnt told anyoe. Should I???

People – forget taking an overdose of ibuprofen to try to make yourself feel better.
Go to your doctor and get some codeine and just mellow out a while.
Life will get better.
Peace and love y’all
You guys are idiots.. To Megan – That amount will not kill you. It will only do some minor possibly nothing to your body. No it will not kill you. I used to have herbes and they did hurt for a while. But you will get used to them. Just don’t take too much of them. It can damage your liver for the rest of your body.
The night before last my niece tool 90 800 mg ibuprofen with half a bottle of abilify and half a bottle of lamictal. She took it around 1:am and was discovered with vomit and all bodily fictions on the carpet. She was in ICU only one night before being transfered to a facility. When if any of the effects will appear and can she still die even though she is alert and awake? Thanks
P.S- She was discovered at 5:am. They couldn’t do the charcol because too much time had passed.
PS- When my niece was discovered it was around 5 am.
I just recently went to the doctor and she asked me what im taking an i told her ibuprofen.
I said I was going to overdose cause i was taking 3 200mg…3 times a day because of medical problems
and she assured me that you can take up to 4500mg a day before you overdose…theres an extremely lw
chance of it damaging your organs..stay away from asprin..thats the worst.
the author of this article has no idea what theyre talking about.
im 15 years old and take 5 at a time.
i have shin splints, decrease in bone mass because i broke my ankle twice and completely flat feet
which is causing back and neck problems.
so you will be fine. it hasnt made me sick and i dont have a high tolerance for medicine.
Very confused.
wikipedia says 400mg/kg is really bad.
I have a painful knee, my doctor has proscribed 400mg tablets of ibuprofen to be taken 3 times a day.
confused…
400mg/kg is different to 400mg. 400mg/kg means 400mg per kg, so if you take 400mg for every kg you weigh then that is bad, not 400mg on its own xx
To curiousd.. Well it only depends on what times your taken them out and the time between them..
I think I am addiccted to ibuprofen I suffer with acute back pain 1600mg a day for the last 4 months can this harm me I am taking maxium dose every day I keep getting stomach pains but don,t want to see gp as I don,t want to come off them they are the only tablet that works for me.
plus there is one more thing life is to short for all you guys to want to kill yourself we all haven,t got long in this world anyway thats why it makes me angry that our minds make us do this weird stuff addiction and suicide we all have got familys or if not friends or that someone that cares we would ruin there lifes by just thinking of ourselfs I think this world has got very selfiish and its up to us all to change it.
well I’m not sure what to say… I have a pretty messed up body and so on, I know I’m probably gonna get yelled at by some1 in here about over dosing but I took 25 200mg tablets last night at aroudn midnight, and I don’t feel any different.. I have to admit my stomachs probably hurted jsut a little bit, but that’s just the normal hurt that i get when I’m hungry xD, last night when it happened.. I thought about it… and today, for some strange reason, I’m all happy, as if I took happy pills @.@
I’ve been taking 30 tablets of whatever i’ve got around for about a year now… im just fine!! im 15… i really dont see anyone dying from these
Hey Guys…
about 4 months ago I ODed. I ended up in hospital. I took 20 Diclofenac, about 15 sleeping pills, 30 Panadol tablets and a whole bottle of Nurofen. Thats about 150 pills……..
I had my stomach pumped and i am still struggling. I really wanted to die. My life had become a total nightmare i wanted out. I didnt tell anyone what i did which is why it came as such a shock when my boyfriend woke up and found my lying next to him out cold. He called an ambulance and i was rushed off to the ER. I was so close to dying. one of my kidneys shut down and because i had a couple of other medical problems i developed a small clot in my brain.
Im so so so incredibly lucky to have realised as i was lying in ICU that people really do care. If i had died it would have hurt so many people. Im ok now just taking it one day at a time. 10, 15 pills wont do anything. It will make you feel stink but it wont do anything.
I took 17 or 18 pills a few days ago, and I think im okay now. I think I really wanted to die that day, and Im only 12. I must be crazy, and I have no one to talk to about it cause they wont understand, they’ll probably report me 2 a guidence couniseler and she’ll tell my mom and then ther will be even more problems in my life. I think I’m ok. But I felt kinda sick yesturday, could I still die, I’m really scared! I realized that I dont wanna die, I was crying, Im so scared, please help!!!
I also have heart burn and acid reflux, would that affect the 18 pills i took. I took them in under 15 min. I’m really scared. DONT KILL URSELVES! ULL RELIZE THAT LIFE IS WORTH LIVING! TRUST ME! I KNOW! IVE TRIED TO KILL MYSELF, BUT WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO ACTUALLY RELIZING THE FACT THAT I COULD DIE I REALIZED.
I once took 12 of these bad boys… it didnt seem to do anything I wanted it to, I thought that with that many, your heart would explode, wrong!! I took 12 advil and about 6 benadryl so I would pass out durring it all, and sure enough I woke up with what seemed to be a nasty hang over… Attepmt 2 today I suppose…

In reply to Jess, i was just wondering . . that if i only have ibuprofen and benadryl, how many do i need to take of them to pass out or be sick???
hi, i overdosed on ibuprofen about a year ago.
i took about 80 pills at once.
passed out within an hour.
ended up sick and puking for 4 days,
then finally called poison control.
they told me they were suprised i wasnt dead already,
so i got a friend to drive me to a hospital,
was in there for a week…
the doctors said my liver was shrivled up like a raisin.
my enzymes were through the roof.
i am so happy i made it past that time.
but now, a year later, i am still sick
ALL The time.
im constantly dehydrated,
never have an appetite,
frequently get nauseus,
have loss of breath,
and vomit up stomach acid for no reason.
im trying my best to stay healthy, but i dont know what i could do?
or what i even have..?
any advise?
you people are silly. 200 mg of ibuprofin is nothing. i have a prescription for 600 mg and i can take 2. i have taken 10 just today. and i have been on them for over 5 years for chronic pain. google is your friend.
You’re all dummies, just got this from a medical website: The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses).
how many ibuprofen will it take to pass out or be sick ??
Obviously a bunch of you aren’t reading the above information if your asking questions like ‘am I going to live’
Everything is answered for you. most of you are going about 5-10 pills.
I’ve got 17 in my stomach for stupidy.
Not a death wish but out of curiosity, a self experament if you please and I am but 15.
Just so everyone gets it, it is 400mg/ Kg of your body weight. That means if you weigh 60 kg then the toxic dose would be 24,000mg, which is 120 (one hundred and twenty) 200 mg tablets. So no, 5 tablets will not kill you, 10 tablets will not kill you but 120 may just do that. Trust me, you don’t want to end up in the ED, sick as a dog and have to drink charcoal or have your stomach pumped and be looked down upon by all the staff, because it’s your own stupid fault that you’re there and there is other ’sicker’ people more deserving of their time. You will probably then be asked the same questions a zillion times but 10 different people and then transferred to the psych. department. It’s just not worth it- especially if all you want is attention.
People who sit around saying: omg, why do u commit suicide, u should appreciate ur life bla bla are the real blind and vicious varmin.
People don’t commit suicide because they are not famous or rich or don’t have a partner. People commit suicide because they have NO-ONE. Yes, it is attention-seeking, but sometimes that is the only way to make people care unfortuanately.
Some people are born into families who make them feel secure and happy and truely care about them – which sets them up into loving relationships for their life! This is truely being rich. These people cannot truely imagine what it is like to be abused and to be scared and alone and they do not feel any compassion. Shame on them.
I have been abused for years and years by my father and family – I have tried to get in touch with organisations but NO-ONE seems to want to help. He won’t let me go to University and there are limited oppurtunities for social contact where I live so I am literally all alone and have to go through this fear and abuse day in and day out.
Sitting in four corners, trying every day to make somebody listen and waiting for the fear of when he returns is not a life u can appreciate.
Instead of sitting around in ur cushy little lifes saying omg, don’t commit suicide, why don’t u really try to understand the issues and actually try to get off your backsides and help people so that they really won’t do it.
I stumbled across this website looking to see how many Ibuprofen/time I could take without it damaging me – not for suicidal reasons; I’m in desparate need of a root canal or tooth extraction and I just can’t afford it yet. I’d taken 2×200mg tablets at 5:30 pm, 2×200 mg tablets at 11:30, and now it’s 2:30 and my tooth is hurting like crazy and I’ve stumbled across some of the 800mg tablets I was perscribed last year after a tooth extraction I had. I can see now that it’s not going to hurt me any, but I think I’ll wait another 30 minutes just to be on the safe side.
As for all these kiddos attempting suicide, it’s really not worth it. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Being 21 I’m no sage, but I do know that nothing ever stays the same. There’s nothing that happens in your life that cannot be changed somehow.
A guy who was like a brother to me when I was 7 committed suicide – he was 17. I saw him hanging by an electrical cord from a rafter in his garage. Also, 2 weeks ago my sister passed away from breast cancer at 29 years old, after having fought (and having been “cured” of the cancer) for a year and a half. I wish death upon no one in this world, and it pains me to see people trying to bring it upon themselves.
S_89 is correct, but only on a few accounts. Yes, many people are born into abusive or lonely families, but I CAN assure you that you will eventually free yourselves from whatever shackles you’re born into. No matter where you’re from, you can move. In the U.S. you can emancipate yourself at 18, and if nothing else join the military. Being shot at to me would seem a more appealing aspect than killing myself, at least I would be serving a purpose in the former.
And S_89, this comment is directed at you – a lot of us don’t get a chance to “get off our backsides and help people” because by the time we find out something is troubling you, it’s through a suicide note. Many suicide kids don’t reach out for help – you can see that apparent in these posts. “Help I’ve OD’d on Ibuprofen I’m scared” is not something that comes from a well thought through plan – it’s a spur of the moment kind of thing.
So please, please, please – before you take anything to OD, or grab a rope or gun or any implement of self-mutilation, please think twice. Nothing ever stays the same. I wish for no brother to ever have to be a pall-bearer for their sister, or any sister to ever have to read a eulogy for their brother; or for any parent to have to bury their child.
If anyone feels lonely enough that they DO need someone to talk to, my e-mail is guardfr4life at hotmail.com – I will be more than happy to lend an ear to your troubles if it means you will just stop and spend a few minutes writing them down before doing anything drastic.
I just took 3 i have a tooth ache.. it feels better.. yay..
heres a message to all y’all who have taken too much ibuprofen and are wondering if you should tell someone, on Friday I took ten 200mg and I told my mom cuz I wuz scared i would take more or do something else to myself(I was VERY depressed).My mom called poison control and they told me to go to the emergency room. we went, and after a couple hours they transvered me to the mental health area(the phsyciatric unit). I spent the weekend there…I never felt ANY affects of the ibuprofen, not even a stomache ache.Just a heads up…hope it helps you with your decision to tell someone.being in the phsych unit was probably good for me in the end although I was PISSED the first night. I feel your pain, you just want to end that horrible feeling, i did too, and i kinda still do but a doctor at the hospital put me on wellbutron and i know i will start feeling better soon…i am a little already!!!!!!!stop taking drugs that only temporarily make you feel better.If you get diagnosed with depression and tell them you are suicidal they WILL give you medication to help you.
this is so stupid..400mg is an overdose pfft…one tablet is 200mg..idiots
i just took 6 200mg ibuprofens. I took 3 earlier. Thats 9 in the space of a few hours. 1800mg and its giving me sick feelings inside. Have I OD? I meant to..but then again I didnt. Im so young i dont want to damage myself. But i probably already have
hey. i know that alot of you on here just read these and joke about this, but its not joke
i took 40 advil a few months ago as attempted suicide. im still having bad side effects.
when ever i eat or take any kind of meds, i feel nauseous and have stomach pains. also, im afraid to go to the doctors or tell my parents because ive been to the mental part of the ER and its freaks me out. i just dont want to go through that again. im really afraid that ive messed up my stomach pretty bad.
does anyone (that takes this seriously and actually help me) have any advice??
My advice is that if it really was a couple months ago that they wont send you to the mental area. If you tell them that was the last time you thought of suicide(even if thats not true) they probably wont.but yeah if you still feel that strong of side effects i think you should tell someone.If there is someone that you know who is a doctor or nurse that you trust not to overreact I would tell them first. Otherwise just tell your parents.Even if they do send you to the mental health area, like they did to me(see my previous posting),that is temporary and its easy to lie your way out of there by telling them your fine and not suicidal…tell them what they want to hear kinda thing….GOOD LUCK!keep me posted:)
I don’t understand why some of you guys are taking IBUprofen to kill yourselves……
Life can’t be that bad, it can ALWAYS be worse.
I take IBUprofen every day, have been for years, for headaches. I only take the lowest amount available, 200mg.
It’s unlikely that your symptoms are a result of your suicide attempt. What other medication are you taking? It might be that the feelings of nausea etc. are related to feeling depressed and unhappy. Sometimes we manifest emotional problems physically. It’s worrying that so many young people are self-medicating their emotional pain with analgesics.
People who are habitually self- medicating may be addicts. An addict is a person who has a mental obsession with a substance or behaviour and a physical compulsion to act on the obsession regardless of the consequences to self or others. Heroin or ibuprofen, self-harm or crack. I suggest finding a local NA meeting. Or look at the NA website. Try and get some help. It only ever gets worse.
Ohh..Well…How many ibuprofen’s will it take to cause me some real damage o-o? Like..the amount that will end me up in the Hospital or something. Oh, and what if I took like..three and a half, and had just one Tylenol along with it? What will happen T_T?
I take 20 Ibuprofen, 1 Time a week.
Why? Because After lifting weights for 6 days straight, I want to relax.
It helps me sleep, it takes away the aches, and theres no downside to it.
Yes liver problems, but by the time I’m 50, medical advances will be advanced enough to cure whatever ails me.
By the way, it is IMPOSSIBLE to overdone on ibuprofen. Your body will reject it, and force you to throw up. So unless you are taking the maximum your body allows, as often as possible. One time trying to overdone CANNOT kill you.
ok Thomas,
I’ve been reading numerous sites similar to this, and of all the comments I’ve read.. and believe me its a lot.. you are by far the most stupid of them all..
20 Ibuprofen will damage your liver significantly… probably not right now, but in good time..
second, pain killers/ nurofen/ paracetamol and any of those alike drugs or OTC medicines actually hinder muscle growth or any of the weight lifting that you may be doing..
thirdly, it doesn’t take a genius to know that you don’t do weights more than twice a week at max. and by twice a week, i mean twice for the lower body, twice for the upper..
fourthly, whats to say that they will have found a ‘cure’ or replacement for a liver in the future.? you cant guarantee that..
finally.. if your taking that many ibuprofens.. dont expect to live a long life.. id be rather concerned if i were you
nice, tru that
but what about just 1800 mg and 1800mg 4 hours later
You people are fuckin funny man. Yo none of you are addicted to IBuprofen. You want to be addicted or try killing yourselves?? Take OxyContin that will be a fun trip for u all. Take about 10-20 80mg Oxy Contin and u got a good shot at dieing….Plus it will be a fun fucked up ride out of this world and life for you. You want to be addicted? Take Oxy Contin 1 pill 80mg every day for about 1-2 months youll enjoy the ride once more but when u dont get it after that 2 month period you;ll know the meaning of the word addict. Now then lets adress Ibuprofen. I in times of extreme pain (IE tooth ache severe tooth ache) 2 Ibuprofen doesnt do shit. Most of the time Ill take 4 then give it a half hour if it doesnt work I take another four. In this pattern I have taken upwards of 16 200mg Ibuprofen. Now then perscription Ibuprofen is 1 800mg pill the equivlent of 4 200mg over the counter Ibuprofen. Doctors will reccomend one to two of these as needed for pain especially after a root canal. So heres the point. 8-16 200mg ibuprophen on a once in a while basis as needed for sever pain will do nothing to you. Nothing truely harmfull. If you were to take it every day for a year like that then yes u could develop liver damage and internal bleeding. If you want to pass out dont take Ibuprofen go get nyquill or tylenol pm if you want to die…use a bullet you pussies….or else get a strong drug and enjoy your ride outta this life…such as heroine or oxy contin!!
ok i took 10 ibuprofen. im ok. im not hurting or anything. & im sure if IM ok everyone else should be ok.
& im not trying to commit suicide. im not that stupid. advil just is a pain reliever.
Hi I’m Sarah,
I have taken 18 tablets of Ibuprofen…
I’m 13 and having problems with my life
Can you tell what will happen …
I have taken 10 each day in a row =[
Help
You people- why take like 10 and then ask if ur ok??? obviously u need help. if ur in any doubt go to the hospital or ring nhs direct – you can find the number on the internet. ring 999/ 911 if u have take a lot. how can u say u cant tell ur mum/dad.. tell them! i think they wud rather know than find u dead.
i just took two 400 mg by accident when ur only meant to take 1, rang nhs direct, they asked me a few questions and if i have anything else wrong with me (i dont) and then said i shud be ok as they have low toxicity. bleeding etc only if have gastrointestinal problems before. also better if taken with food. saying that as im writing this my head is starting to ache!
the author of this…i dunno what they are trying to do but i think it over exaggerates
listen peole carefully……
life can be so hard at times whether you are suffering from struggles at school or even at ur own home…..there is always hope if u have faith and love for urself….then there would be no reson to hurt urself..life passes by everyone will die one day it’s best just to live it while you can. even if it sucks just move through…ok.. are time will come believe it or not believe me i know iv’e been times where i felt lost and purposeless but we all have a purpose..we have to find it through all the time we use to stress and hate ourselves.. we could use that time to find what we truleywant in life and of course it is not death….we all want a great life but it doesn’t come that easy…we have to search for it and figure what truley makes us happy but the real reson i came to this page is becuase i have a sister who is very depressed and doesnt want to live any more…..so i live for her i live to keep heading to her dreams ur not alone have hope if you have any questions or need someone to talk to my email is people_rival@yahoo.com i will be more then happy to listen to what is bringing u down…..smilee
I think it is not exaggerating. Try it yourself and see how you feel
Will 45 200mg Ibuprofens cause an overdose death?
i took 28 ibuprofen about 2 hrs ago and im waitng 4 something to happen
yeah probably im sick and need attention hehehe
i’ll let u knw guys if something major happens
All of you need help. I’m a nurse and was looking on the internet to see what would happen to a child who took too much ibuprofen. I didn’t expect to find a site with a whole bunch of people hoping to take ibuprofen to kill themselves. Don’t look on the internet for help. Get out in the real world. Find yourself a psychologist or psychiatrist or a social worker or a good friend. Stop looking to other people who want to hurt or kill themselves too. It doesn’t help!!!
What happened then Moony ? im 14 and i took 30 but it hasnt done anything . . how many do i need for something to actually happen ??
Okay I don’t get it.. Why would you overdose and then come here in a panic asking what should I do, help. Obviously if you wanted to die, then this shouldn’t be a problem.
OKAY. Ibuprofen over dose will not kill you in a few hours, not evena few days. and all you people postin joke comments, you should be ashamed. The drug will take time to pas through your body, blood stream and internal organs. Your liver is what cleans your body from toxins that could kill you. NOW if you take say 28 pills, they will be dissolved by your stomache and go through your body, and try to pass through your liver and kidneys, but they will be over worked by the pills, and begin to diminish and or become suseptible to kidney/ liver disease. YOU WILL NOT FELL ANYTHING AT FIRST BECAUSE YOUR MUSCLES WILL BE RELAXED. ITS A FUCKING PAIN RELIEVER. but in the long run, you might come down with kidney or liver diseaese, AND TRUST Me. if you really want to die, you are much better off getting a razor (no joke). but for those who want a painless death, ibuprofen is not the way to go. Liver disease for those of you who like sciense / health, is VERY SLOW AND PAINFUL. think of it as this.: it will feel as though your body wants to eat itself, and is succeeding. This page is posted by docters, and they would know. even the smallest over dose can be like a 26 once of vodka in like 5 minutes. NOT GOOD
I am not suicidle and would never try to kill me self. but liver disease is not fun, my mom died from it,
*** your skin turns yelllllllow**
God Bless
Hi, i seem so stupid writing this message. i tried to commit sucide last week i took 15 paracetamol and a bottle of wine in the space of ten mins. this was 3 days ago, i havnt been to the doctors as didnt see a point but now im having terrible headaches and am extreamly tired… i would be very greatful for any advice x
two days ago i took 25 ibuprofen in attempt to kill myself..
i’m pretty sure i passed out about an hour later,and i woke up really clueless
i was dizzy, had a terrible headache, and absolutely HORRIBLE stomach pains..
it was terrible.
next time ill be sure to do alot more
“Actually anything more than 400 mg (2*200 mg pills) is considered toxic and not recommended”
This is b.s., when I had a sports injury to my knee I was prescribed 1,000 mg pills twice a day by a doctor.
I have an old ankle injury that flares up every couple of months, when it does I take around 800 mg three times a day, no problem.
If you read the facts on Ibuprofen you will see it is the least harmful of all over-the-counter painkillers so the idea that it can be dangerous is a bit silly. Even aspirin is more dangerous.
i have 8 ibuprofen tablets at 400mg each …. how many do i have to take to pass out ? plz answer im not gnna do it i just want to no ????
I took 6 ibuprofen and 4 sleeping pills in 15 minutes. Did I OD?
I took 2800 mg at one time, and it did absolutely nothing.
MY GOD,,,,,,,,,YOU ALL NEED TO SERIOUSLY GET A LIFE……OH SORRY SOME OF YOU ARE DEPRESSED..GO AND SEEK PSYCHIATRIC HELP,OR SAVE THE HEALTH SERVICE AND JUMP OFF A BRIDGE ,EVEN BETTER JUMP UNDER A TRAIN.YOU GODDAM FREELOADERS OF THE STATE
hello,
everythig has been going rong in my life
thinking about commiting suicide…
i have seven ibeprofen pills, i hardly ever take pain killers so…

i took 12, and im having serious chest pains and heart perpretations. i have also taken alot of paracetamol and one hell of a lot of caffine. any idea’s if the pains etc are because of this? thanks

hey,
i over dosed not so long ago i took about 140 tablets one night after being at a club, alls i got to say is lucky that my friends found me, yes things may seem bad and that may seem like the only path to go down but its not worth it trust me!! i lost alot of friends and tore my family apart, i was so close to dying…. there is always help out there it may not work out straight away but you will figure out were u fit in and why you were put on this earth after all…!!!
cheers
Tim
I’m not depressed, or trying to commit suicide. I suffer from sever migraine headaches. When i was 7 (about 80 pounds i would say) my doctor proscribed 600 milligrams of ibprofin to be taken as needed when ever i started getting a headache. Last year my prescription ran out so i just take 5 (sometimes 6 if its really bad) of the normal 200 mg tablets (1000 mg). I weigh about 185. When you go to the emergancy room they give you 800 mg of ibprofin. I have never had a stomach pain from ibprofin a day in my life (But i do always eat something or drink a glass of milk when i take them). Those of you taking 2 o 3 tablets a day a, a couple times a day, you will be fine trust me.
ROFL!!!!1 This is one of the funniest threads I’ve EVER read on the Interweb. Thanks for the laughs, retards. hahaha
i took 23 pillls and half a bottle of cough syrup and im still here!
i took 3 advil at 5 in the morning. then, i toook 4 advil at 5 pm..all today. do i need to get my stomach pumped? will i vomit? i’m dead serious, i know that this is humorous and unrealistic. i just really need somebody to reassure me that i am okay. goddammit i’m such a retard. help me. i’m crying and freaking out. if i vomit, i will commit suicide. i don’t want to die so somebody tell me if i am going to vomit. wow. haha okay bye.
I have been worried lately about the amount of Ibuprofen I’ve been taking (16 of the 200mg tabs a day minimum: hence my reason for being here) so this article – and some of the responses – has been really very interesting.
No, I’m not trying to overdose deliberately. I have suffered from extremely bad and sometimes disabling pain in my spine after being hit by a car 12 years ago. However, because I’m still under 25 it’s very difficult for me to convince doctors of how much pain I’m in…even after needing one operation on my spine. Every bad episode, I again have to spend months convincing them to give me better pain medication.
My most recent episode has seen me taking more ibuprofen than I ever have before, and I survive on at least one whole regular pack of tablets a day (3200mg). I only take just enough to get by and be able to walk unaided, but never enough to take away the pain fully so I still have problems dressing etc. It’s tempting to take more so I can actually sleep through an entire night without waking up crying out because of th pain, but I worry about the long term effects of taking so much.
Thank you to Johnny Quest, as your comment has reassured me slightly
To everyone else, I’ve experienced no side effects from my obvious overdosing yet, so you’re unlikely to die if you’ve taken a measely 12 tablets. I don’t pass out or anything…at least then I would get a rst from the constamt pain. Don’t worry so much ^_^
Also, no one should want to take lots of ibuprofen. I would love to be able to stop taking it. Painkillers should be used for medicinal purposes only. If you want to end your life, trying finding someone to talk to – even it it’s only online. There are forums dedicated to people with problems to act as a support network for one another. They’re great people and you’ll be amazed how much of a difference it can make. Trust me
well one time i was out partying and smoking some weed and i was hung over from partying the day befro so i pop a few pills i dunno 8 9 mabey 10 then latter i took like 3 more but i was fine and that ws mixed with beer so yeah i am find now i may be a drug actic and drunk and i am only 15 bnbut yeah ill have a good 2 miore years of like mike_wilson_614@hotmail.com
I took about 90 prozas at 20mg, 75 valiums at 10mg, 350 Venlafaxine or effexors at 75mg each… and 100 ibuprofens at each 200mg.
I now have an irregular heart beat and could go into tarchycardia at any given moment. I have had massive amounts of heart problems since.
Suicide is pretty tough. Just saying. It’s a very serious issue. People just will never understand til they get to the point where they want to do it.
WOW ….all these people trying to kill themselves and all the others telling them ways on HOW TO kill themselves, instead of encourging death to people and how to why not try to save them…..what has this world come to …may god have mercy on us all
TO ALL those wanting to kill themselves PLEASE I BEG OF YOU DONT i do care about everyone of you even if i dont know you
if those that are sad , hurt, confused and thinking of killing themselves
please CALL this number 352 573 8047 this is my cell number call me and i will help u thru this
Please Dont Do This To Yourself My Names Colton Silcox And i Care about u
OMG I juss t00k 218 400 mg advils and I feel great! I’ve never even taken advil before but now if I survive which i hope I do, I’m gonna do twice the amount!
Most people can easily tolerate up to 3200 mg of Ibuprofen in 24 hours. When I am in severe pain, I take 4 200 mg pills every 6 hours. You will be fine doing this for a few days if you are in extreme pain. For mild pain, stick with the recommended dose of 400 mg every 4-6 hours.
You could probably take over 40 ibuprofen pills at 1 time and still live.
You people are so cruel
dud you know some of these people have real fucking problems in their life.
They are young and neive and don’t know how else to cope. You fucking ass holes aren’t making anything better for them then by mocking they’re adolescent behavior. They don’t have a fully developed mind if they’re under 20. People make mistakes, take wrong turns in their lives. We all do!
Guys, please don’t do this to yourself. There are so many better solutions trust me. Everything will be okay. It doesn’t end here. There is so much to be learned, discovered, experienced etc.
I went through a phase also of attempting to hurt myself.
Suicide and Pain killers aren’t the answer. Find Love in the world in your heart. I know somewhere in this huge ass world someone would die inside if you passed, so please save a life by saving your own.
You guys are honestly retarded.
Okay I took 20 800mg Ibeuprofen at about 1:00am I woke up to find myself not dead and now I’ve got this feeling I’m gonna be screwed. What’ll happem to me and how long till I croke?
These are just some really sad and depressing posts!! why do you guys want to kill ur self so much. Take it from me it’s not worth it. I tried to overdose and ended up in the hospital throwing up charcoal and then spent a few hours in a mental hospital. That shit was fucked up and i wish i had never done it. Even though life is hard i know that things will get better and that i have a greater purpose in life.
Don’t kill yourself because once you’re gone you’ll never what could have been if you had just gotten help. Am glad to be alive because i now know that life will be good to me. Just be patient and trust and believe in God
Lastly, just think about the people u will leave behind that care about you.
i took 16 ibeuprofen and i havent felt good at all this is not the 1st time i have done this i usally do it when ever something goes wrong and sometimes its other pills not just this one/ me and my boyfriend broke upp and it hurt soo i took 16 pills what should i do?
Okay, so I work in the medical field….you all think it is so bad taking a “handful” or 10 – I just worked with a pt who took 300 Ibuprofen (yeah, that is 50,000 mg) in 1 hour……..
Ok I took 16 ibuprofen (200mg) in the past 9 hours. I did do this as a suicide thing but am I really going to die? Am I going to wind up with a slow death that’s going to hurt? If I’m going to die I want it to be fairly quick. I could seriously be hospitalized for this? What if I later decide that I don’t want to die? Can I still live? How long until I actually do die of an overdose?
I took 12 600mg and I feel awful. I had milk and crackers but I’ve been shaking and vomiting. My body aches, stomach especially.
To whoever is reading this…*don’t* overdose. Do whatever you can to get help; go to the doctor, hospital, something. OD’ing even minorly like I did sucks and I may have done damage to my liver and/ or stomach.
Im confused? How do you answer any of these quesions personally? Im kinda computer illerate. And SUPRISED at how many people are leaving comments here on Ibeuprofen overdose?! What the hell is this?! But then again, I gotta ask myself why am I here. And its pretty much for the same pathetic reason. But shit….Im still suprised at how many others are thinking along the same retarded lines! lol Not a laughing matter I know but I always try to find a little humor in everything.
liver damage is all bad
has anyone had louis the XIII cognac? i just bought a bottle for $1200 on ebay. Wondering if anyone has tried this particular alcohol and was it worth the price. I also went to Napa over the weekend. There were two bottles I loved but did not purchase. I now regret this. Have you and a loved one ever gone to Napa? It’s spectacular. Not very pricey either.Thank you for your time.
HEY PLEASE STOP TO READ THIS BEFORE POSTING MORE ABOUT TAKING 5 AND WONDERING IF YOU WILL DIE!!!
The article clearly states that over 400 mg/kg is lethal, not 400 mg! This means that you need 400 milligrams per kilogram of your weight. In case you are wondering, this means that even for a very light person you would have to take a drastic amount to do any damage.
For instance a person weighting 50 kg ( Which is about 100 lbs ) would have to take 100 tablets, of size 200 mg, to even be considered toxin according to the 400 mg/kg standard set by this website. So please stop being stupid.
For anyone who says that taking 400mg is toxic, you don’t know your stuff. The “maximum” dosage recommended on the *bottle* is 3 a day, and that’s for the 400mg pills. Not the 200mg. 400×3 = 1200mg. THIS WILL NOT HURT YOU, unless you’re allergic to the medication. My mother’s doctor said the maximum dosage you should take in a day is 2400mg. This is if you have, say, really bad arthritis or such. That’s 6 400mg pills, or *12* 200mg pills.
As long as you do not do this regularly, it’s not going to hurt you. (I’ve taken about 2800mg for cramps before and was fine, key thing is not to do it regularly)
For all you suicide fanatics, if you think you’re going to kill yourself on ibuprofen and posting about taking tons of pills here, you’re obviously just doing it for the attention. Ibuprofen is a rather mild drug, hence why it’s over-the-counter. Common sense people, common sense. (I know, I know, really too much to ask for, as half the population does not possess any sort of survival instinct, but try) However, if you are in a lot of pain, don’t be afraid to take up to 2400 mg.
Bah, long comment, but I was bored, and you people amuse me. Cheers, and I hope someone who *isn’t* suicidal finds this post useful~
i just took 25, 400 mg.
didnt do jack..
I am another of the folks looking to see if I was taking too much ibuprofen to compensate for dental work I cannot afford. I have been taking 3 200 mg pills twice a day… or 1200 mg/day. Not cause for huge concern based on what I’ve gleaned from this site…
… I have, however, started to have episodes of dizziness, nausea, a corona-esque blurring in one of my eyes from time to time, and disorientation. Hm. I suppose I shall consult my dentist/physician directly. I haven’t been taking the pills for all so long… maybe three months at a pace such as this. I’m a 29 year-old female, at 155 lbs.
When your body sends you these messages, you do well to listen…
The suicide notes are disturbing. I guess that even on sites for Vivarin or Robitussen there are folks wondering dosages to catch a buzz, pass out, or die. I must say that to see it on an ibuprofen discussion site was surprising (alarming, distressing).
Good luck to all my fellow uninsured, self-medicating kin. And to those of you who are suicidal — I wish you all the best as well. I was sexually abused by my stepfather from the time I was four until I was 15, and suicide never entered my brain. Perhaps I’m just not wired that way. At any rate, all this to say the ever-trite: it will get better. Your perception of reality is everything.
I am open for discussion. Contact me at Icara247@comcast.net.
Uhm.
Like, a week ago, I took around 25-40 200mg ibuprofen.
I’m not sure, I kinda took them at random.
I’ve also had like 4-8 a day after that. But I’m stopping now.
Does it matter? Am I going to die?
I take 4/200mg ibuprofen at least three times a day. My doctor knows and says 4 at a time is fine it equals 1 prescription strength dose. I’v done it for years for chronic pain and i have zero side effects. I don’t get what you are all talking about? I’m just glad to get some relief from my chronic PAIN.
Just befor you decide that you want to die just stop and think about your friends and family that you are going to leave behind , its no joke finding out your best friend or son or daughter or loved one has just commited suicide. As for takeing one tablet over the recomended dose this will in all probability not harm you might make you a bit sickly feeling . Also just remember you might be takeing all these tablets now but when are you going to get the overall effect it might be in 10 weeks or ten years , and during that time your life is straightened out but tough s..t its to late and your kidneys and liver are packing up giving you a painful death do you want this realy . Just give a thougt befor you do take over the recomended dose in the future because the only people who dont give a dam is the manufacturers of that pill because you to them are nothing all you are is someone putting money in there hands.
4 years ago, I had a suicide attempt, and popped 70 ibuprofens. Thank God I am still alive today. I have no signs of any of those symptoms, and I recall not having any sypmtoms then– just a feeling of exhaustion. Should I still notify a doctor after all these years of taking them without any symptoms?
shit that plans out the window, bak 2 the drawin board
ive have taken 6 iburofens and 7 metronidazole, can anything happen to me ?
um, k, so yesterday i took 16 ibuprofen, and 10 tylonel and drank 1 whole botttle of cough medicine.. it didnt do anythikng excpet make me really dizzy and it gave me a hugee stomach ache……… and just from reading htis makes me a bi scared about whats going to happen to me. So i suggest that nobody ever do what i did. it could cause breat pain to you, emotionally and it will hurt your body, and it could hurt your famiy and friends emotionally too just to see you in pain like that. so just please listen to me, dont do it ever. its not fun , if you take it becaus eyour upset all it does is make you more upset, and others around you upset
haha make sure you dont fall asleep whern your drinking cough medicine youll go it a coma, be careful man

answer asapp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Consequences of Ibuprofen overdose: According to research institutes, Ibuprofen overdose damages your internal organs like liver. While in some cases it has been reported that it has result in a permanent liver damage, in other cases where the victim was taking the dose for a long and continued period it has resulted in organ failure one by one.
Some more side effects are unsteadiness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal, nausea plus vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, probable loss of blood in intestinal areas or stomach or both, headache, agitation, drowsiness, incoherence and confusion etc. Sometimes more serious symptoms are also noticed in some victims though very rare such as seizure, gastrointestinal bleeding, metabolic acidosis, respiratory depression, hyperkalaemia, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, coma, hepatic dysfunction, renal failure, cyanosis, and cardiac arrest etc. Until and unless the victim is allergic to ibuprofen, there is a slim chance that the victim would die from Ibuprofen Overdose.
if anyone wish’s for some advice on trying to get out of this feelings please email me on ….. stacey-ere-2008@hotmail.com
*i will try to help you with your problems
yay drugs
i love crack
paytondarling is right, these people need compassion.
guys, i know it hurts. you can make it through.
just be strong.
ps. i took like 10 at one time, and it didn’t do anything to me that i noticed.
could that damage my liver though?
Okay, I am assuming that the majority of the posters here are children so I am going to lay it straight to you. I know my stuff, ….listen up!
Ibuprofen is not a “get you high” or “suicide” drug. Not even a “pass-out” drug. If you are passing out it is because you are becoming toxic or too stupid to realize what this OTC drug is.
It is an anti-inflammatory. It gets rid of inflammation and swelling. Nice on menstrual cramps, pulled muscles etc. There is no such thing as tolerance to this kind of drug that I know of.
Bottles that you recieve OTC suppose to be taken in as small doses as possible, because it will EAT YOUR STOMACH OUT. …literally. It goes in your stomach and removes the acid, which it sees as inflammation and then moves down the tract. Now, for overdosing, how does this sound. I am not going to tell you what the max dose is, that would be irresponsible of me because you might prefer this death. BUT, here is what will happen. Your guts will start bleeding and you will be in horrible pain and bleed to death, but it will be slow, perhaps slow enough for someone to find you, take you to the hospital and then you will live the rest of what you think is a miserable life now under constant supervision and wearing a poop bag because your intestines are gone. Sound like fun?
Here is another little tip. It could happen if you play around with taking just a few everyday to find out. Then one day you go to the bathroom… and blood.
Grow up!
I took 12 ibuprofen tablets and a few fluoxetine when i overdosed. I still get pains around the abdominal area, feelings of sickness and diarrhea. I wake up sometimes after only having a few hours sleep feeling ill. Is this normal? Do i need to go back to the doctors?
ok me and my mom r having an arguement over weather 4, 200 mg ibuprofen per day is an overdose,i am 14 and weigh 140 pounds, i say it is an overdose and she says it isnt…so,can u plz tell me if it is an overdose or not becuase my sister is like crying cuz she thinks it is too…my sister and i jus started looking into this because i have lot of the symptoms that help people know weather or not if u r taking an overdose, so can u please tell me weather or not it is an overdose…cuz i would really like my sister to stop worryin about me…
I took about 8 Ibuprofen pills around September and ended up in the mental hospital after getting charcoal treatment. It sucked and it wasn’t worth it.
On Saturday the 13th I took 81 pills and that night I woke up with SEVERE stomach pain and nausea and I still have nausea, how much more ( side effects ) are left?
last night i was drunk and upset an downed about 15 nurofens, about 3 panedeine forte and some other antibiotics.. was treated in hospital, they made me drink a bottle of charcoal stuff that aparently soaks up most of the chemicals before they can reach organs. they took heaps of blood and i waited in bed for about 5 hours before they let me go home.
would not recommend this to anyone. it didn’t feel good at all.. and there’s better ways to deal with your emotions than trying to overdose on household pills.
ughhhhhh. okay. most of you people are like, what 15 years old? you think that you want to commit suicide because this cute boy in your class doesnt like you. you are all so young and guess what, life is what you make it. you need to find people that make you happy and your life will be so good. when i was that young i didnt fuckin drink or do drugs or any of that shit. your lives are SOO easy right now. just go to school and get easy A’s, chill out, whatever. When you graduate high school, then you will see how easy your lives were then.
on the other hand…college is fucking fun. if you want to get high, or trip out, in attempts to escape your lives or just have fun, try LSD, weed, mushrooms, salvia…something like that. Tripping is the most amazing feeling in the world and you will love it. And NONE of the drugs that I just mentioned have any long term affects. you will not die and you will not have any problems.
sit back, take 2 hits of good acid….smoke a couple of joints…and you will see that life is much better than you think. 12 hours later when your trip is over and done with, you will feel great and you will just think about how amazing your experience was.
i guess my point is that you guys are way too young to be taking ibuprofen to OD for whatever reason. if you guys just HAVE to be wild children and get high, then do the drugs that i told you about. you wont get addicted, you wont die, you wont get sick….YOU WILL SIMPLY LOVE IT

I took 6 paracetamol, 15 anadin and 43 ibuprofen with a bottle of wine at about 6pm, and i wasnt checked out till the next day at about 2pm, and they said i was fine. I was sick a few times but that was it. I hadnt eaten all day either. Every time i ask about it, the doctors say nothing would be wrong with me by now, that was 11 months ago.
Me again, i am a 19 year old and i weigh about 10 and a half stone. It’s a long story why i did it, but let’s just say it involves a fiancee, cheating, some real mind games and horrible stuff being said and done, and the fact that my family gave me no choice but to kill my baby when i was 3 months pregnant when i really didnt want to. That killed me. I may still be alive now, but im not the same, the person i was died when i went through all that. Genuinally didnt want to live anymore, had no idea about how much you had to take or anything. Didnt plan on doing it, but the emotions that were running through me at that time…you have to know the full story to understand it all..ive never been a person who believed suicide was the right thing to do, and believe me it took alot to get me over the barrier from an ok amount to take, to oh this is wrong, but once i crossed that, i could take as many as i wanted, and i felt my body trying to be sick as i kept having them, i hadnt eaten all day, drank them with a bottle of wine, my fiancee didnt care or tell anyone, i was with him, he just laughed, and said it deserved me right caus he could never forgive me for killing his baby, even though he knew i wanted it. I cried on the phone to him when he was standing outside caus the nurses wouldnt let him in, and told him i didnt want to, but he said it was for the best, i read stories to my tummy the night before even though it couldnt hear me, and he was there, yet he did nothing, and then he tells me he can never forgive me for killing his baby. Do you know how much that killed me doing that. It was like a week before my scan appointment as well, it kills me i dont have a picture. I still have the test, and i got a tattoo. Its a lilly with one petal as a broken heart and a b entwined round the stem caus i used to call my fiancee my bear and i was going to call my baby lilly. I didnt know she was a girl, but i saw 3 magpies three times in a row and sort of thought it was a spiritual way of telling me it was a girl. Anywho, the only thing i had to comfort me was a Dolly called Dolly ive had since i was 4, god i love Dolly. You could say i was returning to a childlike state or something, as thats the only way i feel safe and happy. So i took 6 paracetamol, 15 anadin and 43 ibuprofen with the wine. I was sick a few times, and i cant say im that well now either, plus it was only two weeks after i had an operation on my stomach, so i wasnt in the best health, and 3 months after the abortion. Friday 13th april, i will never forget it. 10th July was when i took everything last year. Doctors say im fine, probablly wasnt enough, but i didnt know any better. Does anyone think there may be any damage? All im worried about is my fertility. How much would it hurt if i was told i could never have children for the rest of my life, and that i killed my only chance of ever having what i know i want. Its not the same adopting because its the whole big tummy and being pregnant and feeling it grow inside you that makes it the magical thing that it is. Im engaged again now, to someone i love, im qualified to be a junior graphic designer, ive finished sign language level one and will be starting level 2 in september, im doing open learning alevels and then plan to go to univeristy, probablly to do something in teaching or law or psychology. Id love to live in Italy when im older, i have so many plans and ideas, but sometimes everything seems like such a struggle because i havent and will never get over everything that happened and it still haunts me and makes me cry now, and i get depressed ALOT, and i find it hard to concentrate on stuff and sometimes wonder why bother, but i wouldnt do anything again, because of what it would do to other people, and because even though it seems a struggle, i want to mke something of my life and try and be happy. I will never forget Lilly or anything from my past, but i have a fiancee i love now, and ive been an elf for the past 3 years every christmas in the santas grotto, will be doing it again this year and i work in edwards flares and reflex where i dance and serve behind the bar, not sexy dancing, but cheesy stuff to the ghostbusters and stuff, i was employee of the month, am reguarlly top taker, and ive made some of the best friends i could ever ask for, so things are on the up, but i have been hurt so much that that sometimes gets me off track, and no one can ever really know how each individual feels about stuff because everyone has different takes, but to everyone out there, i know nearlly everyone will have bigger problems than me, even though to myself my problem is a big one that has affected me, i just want to say dont give up, because if you try really hard things can gradually get better, even if it doesnt seem like they will. And dont take ibuprofen caus nothing happens other than feeling dreadfully ill and you ruin your body, and you’ll probablly still be alive, just even worse off than you were before, so its not worth it. It’s horrible being sick and feeling so poorly that you regret everything terribly. Anywho, ill stop rambling now. If anyone could leave advice or would like to talk or anything just email me at bearickle89@aol.com. Love Daniella. xxx
OKAY.
EVERYONE, IF YOU TOOK LESS THAN 40 PILLS YOU WILL PROBABLY BE ALRIGHT. IF YOU TOOK MORE YOU SHOULD SEE SOMEONE. Look, if your going to overdose ONLY DO IT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO DIE. If you want help because life is too hard go and talk to someone. If you want attention there are plenty of better ways than OD’ing. Don’t take ibuprofen if you want to die (and im not going to tell you what you should take either).
I know someone who took 25000mg (yes 25 GRAMS) of paracetamol. That was not good. But seriously if you want attention do it some other way. This is life were talking about. I know it can be hard but unless you’re 100% sure that theres nothing life can offer you you really shouldn’t be doing this.
I just took 10 200mg pills and im still here i hope…….
I dont know what ive done, ive taken too many pills and ive been drinking vodka all through the afternoon, ive taken too many ibuprofens and i only weigh 52 kilos. I havent been eating for the last week because my stomach is just so sore, and today i took 42 ibuprofens i am having second thoughts and i dont know what to do, i have tried throwing up but it didnt work. It has become more difficult to walk and my vision is blurry, please, help me. Ill never do this again, i just dont want to die. Write back asap anyone please.
Your typing is rather accurate for someone who has been drinking all afternoon… sorry, I hope you aren’t dead. Why would anyone write on here to get help? What are the odds of some low-life creep responding right away?
Slim to none.
Is anyone there? Pleae help me
how many ibuprofen will it take to take my life i dont want to live anymore im 14 years old and i just want to know please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks x
This is the saddest forum I’ve ever read.
I wish I could give you all hugs.
Whatever is going wrong in your life, it will get better, if it doesn’t then take control of your life and change your circumstances. You always have a choice, you can be your own hero.
If you want to kill yourself, OD on Acetaminophen, aka tylenol… it will be slow and painful, but you will have a higher rate of success. If you want to get high, breathe into a brown bag, smoke a joint, or take some narcotics. If you want to relieve some pain and inflammation, take Ibuprofen in large doses knowing that it’s not going to kill you or get you high unless you take several bottles of it at once…
so…i know this isnt about advil..
but what will 30 advil do to you ?
i took some..like 10 mins ago.. i lost my best friend. i couldnt take it anymore..
for some odd reason i took 15 ibuprofen, then 25, then 35.
i had a stomach ache but shrugged it off and didn’t feel any of the other symptoms.
i am unsure as to how many milligrams they were but i don’t think anything over 300mg apiece.
i really don’t suggest trying to kill yourself with ibuprofen because it would take A LOT to kill you and you would go through tons of pain and most likely suffer liver/kidney damage.
oh and to be more specific, i did this over the span of one month.
wow guys. really.
i’m 5′10″ and 140 lbs
for football me and several other people take between 6 and 15 before the first practice of the day (2 a days) and the same amount before the second session.
i took 24 on an empty stomach and the worst that happened to me was diarrhea and minor GI pain. but i could still play football with it, so it wasn’t that bad.
seriously, you won’t die!!
i have osteo ostoma it is a bone tumer and i have pain 24/7 the doc… told me to take ibuprofen when i need it and its ok to take 800mg a day and the last few days i have been feeling really sick to my stomch a diffrent pain and i was reading up on it and that it said over 200 mg is a overdose and 3 is alot for my age i have been taking it for over 1 1/2 years and i need to no what you think?
Hey you guys are retarted and joking. Dumbasses just need to read the FUCKING COMMENTS!! SERIOUSLY WTF YOU GOD DAMN RETARTEDS I HOEP YOU DIE FOR SAYING STUFF LIKE OMG I TOOK 3IBPROFEN AMI GOING TO DIE, I NEE HELP!!!! Hey FUCK YOU! God damn niggers
aha wow, i usually take 2 500mg ibuprofen when i’m in serious pain, because i play softball, should i cut down? o.o;
this is cracking me up.
i like the “i just want to leave this life peacefully.”
hahahaha. oh yeah, puking your guts out is always fun
i also like the “OMG! i just took 5 pills, am i gonna die?!” lmao
i’m a little girl and two bottles didn’t do crap to me besides give me a stomache olser.
and no, i don’t even have liver problems either.
i have a suggestion, why not…get help instead of over dosing?
i really wish i would have because that 8 hours of puking thing wasn’t cool.
I took 32 ibuprofen yestarday. Any idea’s as to what i should do. I prob wont go to the doctor about it…
my cousin took a bottle of ibuprofen 600mg would she ok. i ned to know- i been calling her hous but no answer what should i do.
i weigh 53kg and took 30… what do u think will happen? will i die?
hiiii. okay first, i think all u people are crazy that are trying to kill yourself on this shit, you really must have issues as a lot of people up there have said. but i somewhat pitty you all at the same time because u need attention and ur more likely to get attention from a stranger than someone u kno very well. anyway, i have a question & its not a dumb one. So i have extremely bad back problems + i have a cyst on my ovarie which give me painful periods and well the other day i alsto had a migrane, so i wus takin 2-3 ibpforfen every 3 hours not knowin that ur supposed to wait 4-6, and i did that for 3days cuz of how much pain i was in, and i think i did it on an empty stomach plus im on many perscriptions for my stomach. I was experiencing headache, dizzyness, chills, somewhat of a fever, diahrea, almost vommiting, and a really weak stomach that i cant eat that much. Shoudl i see a doctor?
OD on Tylenol kills internal organ, takes time not instant it’s a girly way to escape. Most of the time someone will find you and take your ass to the hospital pump your stomach and make you drink loads of charcoal, then send you to the nut house.
OD on Ibuprofen, kills your internal organ, usually your kidney, you go on dialysis (since you will be find out) all your life, have to watch your fluid and food intake it’s a miserable way of life. You will look ugly because of skin breakdown and will develop other chronic health issues.
Now if you are just plain scare to live your life and can’t handle dissappointment, you need to grow up. Life is not easy don’t worry no one gets out of this life alive!
This really is a sad thread. I mean ive done some fuck shit in life. I tried euerything from poppin like 40 tylenol t0 slitting my wrists. And im still here. pills seem to be the best way out but half the time all you do is suffer. Feel like shit. Puke a few times and go on with your life. Once you get to the point where you think your gonna die you figure out you dont really want to. So look guys. For real. Before you do anymore stupid shit think about what your doing. If you dont die. What kind of condition will you be left in. Its not worth it.
i took 6 800mg ibuprofen, i now realize that was a bad idea i am not suicidal, any suggestions that don’t involve er or doctors… PLEASE HELP!!!!
Last night my boyfriend had a really bad toothache. We don’t have medical insurance so I told him to take some ibuprofen. I gave him four pills to take since the doctor had once prescribed me 800mg of ibuprofen for headaches. He kept waking up in the middle of the night from the pain. By 3a.m. he said he was scared that he was going to overdose. He told me had taken 17 pills. I am so worried. He had taken 5 more that afternoon too. The bottle said not to exceed 6 pills in a 24 hour period. He went to work today but says he’s having a lot of stomach pain(on top of the toothache) & he keeps on having heartburn & tasting blood. He had no intention of o.d.-ing but his pain was so bad. I’m scared…
As for a lot of people on this page, you need serious mental help! Life is hard & it sucks most of the time. So what! Deal with it & stop being such a pussy about it! If you hate it so much, change it by doing something with your life! There’s a lot of help out there & a lot of good things in this world. Go find them.
I just took 40 and shoved the rest of the bottle up my ass; after about an hour I started to trip balls…… it was a side affect of the shrooms
Therapeutic use
Low doses of ibuprofen (200 mg, and sometimes 400 mg) are available over the counter (OTC) in most countries. Ibuprofen has a dose-dependent duration of action of approximately 4–8 hours, which is longer than suggested by its short half-life. The recommended dose varies with body mass and indication. Generally, the oral dose is 200–400 mg (5–10 mg/kg in children) every 4–6 hours, adding up to a usual daily dose of 800–1200 mg. 1200 mg is considered the maximum daily dose for over-the-counter use, though under medical direction, a maximum daily dose of 3200 mg may sometimes be used in increments of 600–800 mg
I have been takin IB all day with tylanol as well 800mg tabes 1 to 2 at a time every 4 to 6 hours..and im fine.. Ive got a massive tooth ach and the flu ontop of that and have not sleep well in 4 days..and as for overdosing im fine,,minuse the freakin tooth ach..which half the time the IB and tylanol is even touchin….
sorry isent even touching the pain
Wow, there are a lot of comments on here that are f*cked up. Only a real b*tch would tell people to stop complaining about wanting to kill themselves or recommend other easier ways to do it. If you are considering suicide, please reach out to someone for help. Call 1-800-273-8255. If you’re giving this sh*t advice to people, just stop. You don’t realize what you’re doing.
WEll, I’m painfully urinating blood right now I think from the ibuprofen. I think it might be that I passed the “do not use for more htan 10 days” thing. YOu’d think that they’d tell you to not come close to hte threshold of when it would harm you, not at the exact time of it starting to fuck your body up.
Updating from earlier post, actually it’s a kidney infection.
My friend just took 15 ibuprofens.
Is anything gonna happen to him?
I want to commit suicide with Ibuprofen
Is this possible?
hello drug doers like myself.
i took 24 million ibuprofen and now i am dead.
i would suggest not doing it becuase then you die like me.
it sucks to be dead.
you cant even eat.
im just sittin here forever.
dang.
dead dead dead.
seriously…you all either need a hobby or a hug…i just went hunting around cuz I messed up my hand hardcore…have been laying around all day…and MAY have taken a double dose within a few hours of each other. This is one of the most depressing pages I’ve ever read. You people are nuts…I’ve tried the whole “gonna kill myself” sh*t before…not worth it….TRUST ME….nothing in life is ever as bad as it seems…and once you hit rock bottom…the only way to go is up….if you wanna kill yourself….GET HELP!!!
find something that is right for you…shit….even having some drinks or smoking pot or music or art or something…just find an outlet and get a friend…or love….from others….
crazy crazy f**kin world we’re in if there are young people trying to kill themselves….the “real” world is so much harder…and sucks so much more then what you think your going thru…
GET HELP….that is all…
-M-
I just took 20×800mg in the past hour
Im still alive cant be that bad.
Im not playing eather.
Ill repost if im still alive in 2 hours.
I have degerative disc disease, I had surgery and have done very well since. Sometimes i have flare ups—my doctor told me to take FOUR 800 mg Ibuprofin 4 times a day for two days to knock out inflammation. I also do a heating pad and bed rest…this has worked well for me. I always eat something first, the pills can tear up your stomach. I have never felt any overdose symptoms, or a buzz or really anything, but the pain and inflammation do go away. However, i do get a little freaked out over the high dosage and hate to take the pills. It really is a shitload of meds. This has worked way better for me than Vicodin, tho. I have had to do this high dosing about an average of once a year or less. It truly beats a long -term course of therapy on Naproxyn or Skelaxin, etc.
Well, i took 50 advil about a week and a half ago in like 30 minutes.
and throughout it all i feel fairly fine but i haev been getting like headaches and mini fevers and im feeling more nautiouse then usual,
only a few ppl know, and im scare dto go to the doctor or anything but i just want to know what this means and if im like gunna die or some shyt..
I have just been reading peoples comments on this site and i cant believe how pathetic people can be. usually when people want to overdose they dont actually make it public they just do it. I have seen people when they come into hospital and end up in intensive care, so people who are being stupid and joking about taking overdoses need to pack it in cause its not funny its a horrible death and people who do actually have the tendencies to take overdoses need professional help as they must feel like there is no way out which is really sad. If u feel like u want to kill yourselves then speak to your GP dont be asking on the bloody internet this isnt the place to ask for advice. Its really not a subject to joke about and from reading some of these comments i really think people need to grow up.
i had sex will i die
I took about 50 200 mg tablets of Motrin/Ibuprofin last night. That is 10,000 mg. I only vomited a very little bit and approximately five of the tablets came out. I felt moderate discomfort in my abdomen and the emergency room did not pump my stomach, give me charcoal, or anything. I don’t recommend it. It is really just a waste. If you want to kill yourself, this isn’t the way.
All of you trying to overdose.. that’s just stupid. You have one life to live and you have to make the best of it. Overdosing so YOU CAN GET ATTENTION is not the way to go. You can harm yourselfs and may have a severe overdose and die. If you are trying to kill yourself.. then you obviously have issues and need to talk to someone. I care about all of you even though I don’t know you.. but just reading comments that you have written about overdosing and “how many till I pass out?” just pisses me off. Find some other way to get attention.. in a good way! Anything.. get your hair cut or something.-sure you can get attention by that WITHOUT killing or harming yourself.
i took 4 200mg’s of ibrofine, im 14 and i weigh 104 lbs, is this too much for my size? and it is hard to breath, i dont kno wht to do, i dnt wna die, i just want to feel better
I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I have 5 bottles of 800mg IBUs. I plan to take them all around Thanksgiving 08. I can’t win my battle. That is all…
If I take 12 – 200mg of Ibuprofen, what will happen?
I am fully aware that I will not die, but will I be sick to my stomach?
Will I throw up? Will I pass out?

Stop being so stupid, i took 60 ibuprofen, 200mg badboys, im 15, 7 stone and it did FUCK ALL to me. stop fucking worrying that youve taken 10, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
i took 4 400 mg ibuprofen twice in like 4 hours. ( 3200 mg ) i had a panic attack and thought i was dying. Had to get rushed to the ER because my heart rate was up in the 160’s. ( 90 to 100 is normal ) basically a couple days later i was peeing a pinkish color urine and it was extremely uncomfortable. i think i damaged my liver.
i have sadly enough sat here and read all your comments, i must say 2 those people who have tried to overdose your all a bunch of fools, if your gonna try 2 kill yourself do it good and proper! not just for attention coz lets face it if under the unfortunate circumstances you survive the ppl close 2 u will pity u for the rest of your life. every time your near medication they will frown upon it or be on edge the next time your standing at a train station platform! im not too sure if i am any wiser than you people though! as i feel depressed and fed up of life, feel ashamed of myself for feeling this way, as i am only 22. i lost my grandad a yr back he was my only sense of direction the one who kept this family together now his gone i do feel there is no point of living, i am sitting here thinking of ways to kill myself. but maybe im a coward or do i just want 100% guarantee that whatever method i choose will finish me for good! any suggestions people?
just taken 9 Nurofen plus (Ibuprofen 200 mg, Codeine phosphate 12.8 mg) to try and get high. Not working – must be used to the high amounts of Codeine
NO! Don’t try to kill yourselves! Go get help!!!! Please!!!
Bullshit. This thread consists of a bunch of first rate losers who are pining for attention behind a computer screen. Go have fun dying. Damn fools like you shouldn’t have the privilege to live anyways. Go swallow another bottle, assholes!
My sister took 10 today hopefully shes fine shes 15 n over 160lbs shes gettin her stomache pumped somewhere at a hostpital she did it from stress she wont talk to us what should we do? Really important question not for shits n giggles
i took 1000 mgs of it last night and its totally fucking me up im having such bad stomach pains im gonna go puke right now
i didnt know so many people tried this. i guess since this is annonyms ill just say the truth.
im 13- 14 in a month- and ive been feeling depressed for 2 years now. i know, i know, its stupid. i have good parents, a bit pushy for good grades, but they’re good and my sister is nice-ish too. i’ve got nice friends on top of it and i dont live in the ruts either. it makes no sense but i feel crappy every day but its pretty easy for me to fake a smile. i cut, not just the typical wrist. i try not to only cut my wrist; ancles, legs, feet, fingers so on. its easyier to make sure no one finds out about it if its not in the typical spot. and ive wanted to kill myself for about 1.5 years now. i bought two bottles of 50pills/400mg per pill. i tried 20 three nights ago; nothing so i did 30 the night after; nothing again. so i bought them and il be taking 100pills of 400mg per pill tonight. i dont really know why im writing it here. oh well. no one will read this anywas- its at the bottom of the page. …bye
***anonyms
*easier
i have been in the exact same situation when i was like 15 ..it is really stupid to go try kill yourself when you think about it you only get one shot at life and thats it so you should all live a little specailly the 12 – 15 year olds you really should not go near any tablets because even though you are thinking you are overdosing but probably thinking you arent at the same time you probably actually are … i took 35 pro plus 15 ibuprofen and a lot of alcohol and really i thought i would get ill but not as bad as what happened i was in the most HORRIBLE pain i meen actual torture i would never even think about taking more than 2 of any tablet now just incase i got that pain again honest its really bad but anyway think about things before you go taking tablets because you are doing it in the spur of a moment and the effects could stay with you the rest of your life and when you are suffering from kidney failure and stuff like that you probaly actualy will want to kill yourself. x
just had 35 over 3 hours should be fine
Only attention seeking people do the deed and then tell the story. As a medic, I regularly attend to the “overdose” in which the victim phones a friend after taking the pills. If you are truly suicidal, then you wouldn’t be ingesting the drugs and then asking for help. You would simply perform the deed and eventually someone would find you and then we would pronounce.
So, if you feel the need to phone or tell someone about what you’ve done or plan to do then chances are, you really don’t want to do it. So, seek help before hand and save the dramatics for something else.
if you take thirteen, 200mg and below no effect but anything above that will do some damage. why would you take ibuprofen any way. stop being a pussy and take some real shit. obviously you DONT wanna die. its stupid to take your life anyway
you know… some people, -like me- actually come to a site like this for genuine information. then it gets polluted with nearly endless comments that are nothing but sarcasm, name calling and bullshit. its terrible. are you people actually taking 35, 40 pills at a time? and you wonder if thats BAD for you?
i hope its ok to take 3, when the directions say 2. im in terrible pain, leftover from a really bad bout of double pneumonia, that had me in the hospital for 11 days. my body has been through enough, and i actually worry if im harming myself by taking 3. 2 makes the pain tollerable. 3 makes it go away. but 6 hrs later, i have to do it again. its been like this for 3 months now. ive been to MANY doctors, and no one has any clue whats wrong with me. i can only guess its leftover from my time in the hospital. -or worse…
some poeple are genuinely concerned for their health, and want honest answers. not sarcasam, critisism, and statements intended for nothing but to freak people out.
Generally, Ibuprofen causes kidney damage. Tylenol causes liver damage. However, if you damage either liver or kidneys first, it will cause damage to the other eventually. As noted above, either type of damage is a horrible way to die – or you could live and have to be on dialysis the rest of your life, which is really a crappy way to live.
It’s perfectly normal for people in their early teens to be depressed – it’s just the big rush of hormones, mostly. You will get over it, and there are better ways to handle true depression than taking drastic measures. Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Most people who survived a suicide attempt are glad they did, and usually wonder how they could have been so stupid.
If you think that people will mourn for you for eternity and that you will punish them by killing yourself, forget it. It a couple of months, they will only ocassionaly remember you, and then think of what a dumb shit you were.
, i haven’t read it all… but some bits made me laugh
taking loads of drugs won’t cure emotional pain,
it will just hopefully harm or kill you
and as for we all have family and friends who care…
not everybody does, people may have family
doesnt neccessarily mean they care, what if the person knows that
nobody likes them and they know that everybody they care about
will be better off without them, what if dying is sacrificing your life
so people you love and careabout can live theirs x
and from this it looks likeyou can’t die of an overdose of ibuprofen
xx love and hugs to anyone feeling suicidal, please you should talk to someone
you need help x
You People… this is really funny…
im sorrry
Dont kill yourself.. never worth it.. unless you are saving like 7 other ppl..
and Will Smith.. The movie Seven pounds… ya its pretty good
ok..so i know some people owuld say I’m attention seeking and all that, but the truth is i’m actually just asking for a lil bit of help or advice.
I’m 15. my dad sexually abused me when i was 9.
when i was 11 my parents got divorced due to my mam having an affair with the next dorr neighbour. my mam then go involved with a physically abusive partner. I’m a lesbian and realy struggling to come to terms with it and at school i got dicriminised against every day. i get spat at nd everything. my mam constantly argues with me, I’m bulimic, i sometimes hear voices, i self harm a lot and most of the tims just generally hate my life. the only thing i live for is my girlfriend. it feels as my life is over when its only just beginning. been to the doctore dozens of times nd they wnt give me anit-depressants or sleeping pills to help me sleep as i am under 16.
for the people on here tht re freaking out because they have took 3 or 4 200mg of ibuprofen…chill out.
i took 8 one day nd 7 the next and the worst tht happene is tht it nearly made me vomit.
i see a councellor and have just been told im being referred to hospital for proper phyciatric treatment. im scared shitless but i guess its just for the best.
ok so i think i may be addicted to ibuprofen. i cnt get theough the day without craving for them nd if i dnt have any i get soo stressed out. thing is when i take them i always take at least 4 200mg in one go, sometimes twice a day.
i know im seriously damaging my insides but i cnt help it.
i just want some advice maybe on how to stop taking them or something.
im really not doing this for attention. i know it may seem like i am but im not. just asking for a bit of help.
if anyone has any advice then feel free to mail me on ash_rockz_07@msn.com.
any contact will be appreciated xxx
people, there are no additives in ibuprofen….so quit saying your addicted. you take them because you want attention.
Holy shit you stupid emo yanks!!
#1 Taking less than 10 will do nothing. So stop freaking out and overreacting!!! Try actually READING THE ARTICLE. It says anything less than 100mg/kg will not do any damage. If the average tablet has 200mg of ibuprofen, and the average person is 60kg, the average person would need to take at least 30 tablets to do any damage.
#2 Stop looking for sympathy/attention by posting here about how you are suicidal. If you were truly suicidal and not just looking for attention, you would not be trying to overdose on painkillers.
#3 If you are truly depressed: GO TO A SHRINK!! Surely that much would be obvious, even to total retards like you.
hey what if its mixed with another drug? iits fror falling asleep you think ill be ok??????
i thinnk il took out 8 or nine 9 but i threw up alot do you think its out of my system
if u take 4 200mg pills every 4hrs, that wont do anything bad, will it??
Every 6 hours and for a short time only.
Gonna take 48 nurofen express, 12 nurofen and 48 paracetamol’s. 108 pills in total. I’ll bear with the pain. Can’t be worse than jumping into heavy traffic then surviving. I’m 16, live in England. Maybe cya all in the next life soon or in many years time.
I was actually prescribed to take 800 mgs by my physician as an anti-inflammatory. I have to take 3 everyday for ten days. So far I’ve gotten six days in and my stomach is always upset no matter if I take it with food or not. I am just not used to taking so much medicine in such a concentrated manner. I’m worried they might have prescribed me something on the assumption that I turn medicine at the slightest pain. I actually take very little medicine, even when I’m really sick. Could I od on a prescribed amount?
peope who say it is tupid to want to kill themselves do not undersand depresion and MUST stop saying that “it is stupid to take your life away” obviously YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN DEPRESED if you say that….one can’t just snap out of it and if you don’t know any better it is better for you to keep quiet.
The generalized statements about suicide attempts and the assumptions that you guys are making appall and disgust me. Not every act is a cry attention. Not every bottle of Iburofen choked down is a “fake” pass at taking one’s own life. Don’t post on a forum that covers a topic as serious as suicide attempts and drug overdoses if you are just doing it to make yourself feel good, or show off how big your head is. Anyone who is trying to glean serious information from this site has their time wasted by your biggotry, and anyone who has come here hoping to help themselves or someone they care about cannot gain an inch of ground by hearing your immature and self centered views.
Even if a suicide attempt is, as you would so self-righteously point out, it does not make the feelings that brought them to that point, or the seriousness of the entire issue lose any validity whatsoever. Growing up is a pre-requisite to mature converation.

The main thing that I want to add here is important to the people who have come here seeking information about what t expect for a friend or loved one who took a whole bottle. Very often, one who is flirting with the idea of suicide will decide to take the leap and will decide on what seems like the most gentle method, a drug overdose. Because, as some here have so nicely called it “the real shit”, which are prescription pain medications, valium, xanax, or the like are not littering the shelves of most households private pharmacy and therefore less readily available, and because they are quite pricey, it becomes more likely that the person attempting suicide will grab a bottle of “the fake shit”, like tylenol or advil and just down the whole thing. Luckily, a bottle of advil is not likely to kill someone.
I would have lost someone very important to me if it could. It wasn’t, as these negative commentators would define, a cry for help. She didn’t tell me she took them. She just popped and layed down next to me for the night as was surprised in the morning that she had woke up.
If someone has got you worried because they tried to kill themselves with a bottle of advil, breathe a heavy sigh of relief. They failed. They will not die. They should be kept away from alcohol fr a few days, because even a couple of drinks will make them feel like crap. More importantly though, they need the emotional support from you to let them know that life is worth living.
–
And you kids who are taking 25 advil at a time to fight a headache. Cut that out. the truth about ibprofen saturation in your nerves is that 25 advil work no better on your pain than 5 advil. instead, you are simply going to burn out your kidneys and ruin your liver. So, unless the thought of a life of dialysis appeals to you, cut your dose down. Your chronic pain is more likely linked to a dietery or sleep related issue. Fix the cause rather than treating the symptoms, and definately stop medicating with dangerously large continous doses of a medicine known to cause kidney failure if taken in those amounts and frequency.
You’re all f-ing retarded. Seriously. If you think taking 10 pills at once will kill you, then you’re an idiot.
To kill yourself you’d have to take at LEAST 30 pills at once, not spaced out over a few days.
“OmG!!11 i just took 9 pils am i gunna die?!11!” Grow the f*** up you attention-seeking whores.
Well I took around 100 pills of advil last night….And I’m here now. I take anywhere between 30-100 everyday. So clearly it’s not that harmful. And yes I do it as a suicide attempt. I want it to be slow and painful. i envy them who have cancer or AIDS. because they get to die slowly and actually feel something. I take all these pills and feel nothing. I’m so cold and numb to the world. I want to feel something. Even if it’s excruciating pain…. KAYTHXBAI!
I overdosed on Ibuprofen in december 2008. I took about 135 pills and they were 200 mg each. I was experiancing post tramatic stress and did not sleep for two nights. I took the pills with in ten minutes. I stayed awake for about 45 min after I took the pills. I threw up twice before blacking out. I was found 6 hours later throwing up around a toliet in the dorms. I was rushed to the ER and they pumped my stomach. They told me i was about 30 minutes from dieing from a heart attack so ibuprofen is very dangerous. I was in the hospital for three days and the reason is not because of my liver, it was my kedneys that were having the problem recovering. I am fine now but drugs are ment to help your body and to much of anything can hurt your body so be mindful of everything you put into your body.
im 14 and i took 7 pills because i wanted to diee.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled on Tuesday and have since then been taking 2 Ibuprofen 400mg ever 4 hours along with 2 codeine and 1 antibiotic.
I just read the bottle of Ibuprofen now (Sunday) and it says only take 1 every 4 hours and a maximum dose of 3 caplets a day for no more than 5 consecutive days.
Well I’ve had to take the antibiotic 4 times a day so I’ve been taking 8 caplets a day. So that is 3200mg a day instead of the 1200 maximum.
And it’s been 5 days.
I just read this now so I wasn’t aware of the limitations there. I just want to know, what’s the damage?
Should I go see a doctor just to make sure my liver won’t be failing anytime soon?
I didn’t know I was abusing the drugs so I’m just kind of concerned for my organs now, any help?
Thanks, H.
iv been taking nurofen plus which is 200mg ibuprofen and 12.8 mg codeine and iv been taking like 24 at a time, i do this as many times as i can durring the week with maybe a few days off when i run out….do u thjink the few days off helps my body to detox? i dont wanna die or anything…and will it build up in my system and damage my kidneys or liver?…i dont really care abouyt my stomach, i have anorexia and i feel sick most of the time from all the ibuprofen so it helps me not to eat
Im 12 (almost 13) and overdosed a week ago (about 22pills) im currently seeing the school’s student support worker regularly but i don’t want my parents to know and woory, should i tell the support worker or just carry on wiv my life?
I haven’t eaten in a week, and yesterday I took about 60 pills, and that night I was going into convulsions, and thought I had a heart attack, today my heart aches, and aches, I can’t get it to stop. Reading all of these comments makes it seem like I should be fine, why does my heart ache so damn bad?
So I was depressed and took 120 of the 200mg tablets. The effects were terrible. I ended up nearly not waking up and when I did I puked for 3 hours straight. I don’t actually remember any of that morning. I was rushed to the ER in an ambulance and then I was in the hospital for about 2 days. It was very scary and as for permanant damage, I’m lucky I don’t have any. Ibuprofen overdose can be very dangerous and is a horrible idea. More then likely you will be found and taken to the hospital and then locked in a ward so that they can make sure you will not hurt yourself again. And to all the people out there who want to end their lives, that is not a good way to solve your problems. I just broke up with my fiance not to long ago and I have not been able to find a job. Also I had difficulty graduating from highschool. So I have been through shit and I know it seems like a way to solve things…. Maybe get some sympathy… But if your down because someone hurt you the best way to get back at them is not to kill yourself and make them feel like shit but to go out and make something of yourself. I have fallen in love with this phrase and I will share it with you now. Success is the sweetest revenge. So I’m sure you all are wonderful people, so please PLEASE do us a favor and do not deprive the world of wonderful people.
hahaha this is the funniest most fukt up thing i’v ever read. stop trying to kil yourself with ibuprofen. its like try to die on asprin. depression is only temporary no matter how hopeless or how you feel it will never end. beleave me. i slit my wrist when i was 13 and am glad im still here even though i’m strung out on heroin off and on. i’m dope sick right now that how i found this. i feel harrible. its best to stick with ibu then heroin or other drugs.
You are a;; going to die!!!
If you take more than 4 pills you will die!!!!!!
…Painfully!!!
,,, I took five and i am dead!!!
To all of you who keep saying Ibuprofen gave you headaches and stomach aches etc, youre dumb, it didnt give you them, it just you back TO them. See ibuprofen erases your memory when you put one in your mouth, so you forget why you took one in the first place. So if youhave a headache, and take some ibu, you will forget you had a headache, but then you will still have it, so you will think the pills did it to you. Also Ibuprofen can sometimes send you back in time. I once took 4 ibuprofens and went back in time 3 hours so my headache was gone, but then it came back when the 3 hours had passed again. Just thought idlet you all know the sever effects of it. Taking about 250 pills is dumb, you would go back in time like 10 days you idiots, and you would wipe youre whole memory you woiuldnt even be able to write on here. If you take about 14,000,000 ibuprofen pills, it lets you go back to the dinoasur times. Its soooo cool there.
all you kids a fucking idiots. thats enough said. if you want to overdose, buy six grams of coke, and blow it all as quick as possible. then as youre waiting to die, get a half gallon of 151 and drink that. or you can take 25 hits of ex and dont drink any water, and bring back that handle of 151. or best of all quit being fucking vaginas. yeah life can be tuff but get the hell over it, and quite being so selfish. there are people in this world who have it worse off than you and they still make it day to day.
Im 12, 5′3 and 100 pounds. On Feb. 13 I took 13 ibuprofen pills (it was all i could sneak out of the house) and nothing has happened. Am I going to die yet? And also, last night i found out i was bipolar. Parents&sister don’t know. Sorry, that was a bit off-topic
my friend took a whole bottle of it what should i do?
What began as a distraction from my coursework has really brought something to my day.
its unbelievable how many people turn to ibuprofen in a crisis
from what ive read, youre all too young to worry about how many pills will kill you, some as young as 12, especially when youve taken less than ten
get some help, or take a moment to read some of the comments above you
they really offer some perspective.
People commit suicide cos of problems so stop having a go! What can 8 tablets to do u? My mate is 5″4, around 9 stone and small/ medium built and has never been seriously ill?
Shes 18 btw
Okay for the people dissing on a lot of people, some of us can’t help it. I live in wyoming and don’t own a gun…The guy I loved and said he loved me for 3 years cheated on me and my best friend tried killing herself. I couldn’t handle seeing all the suffering that was going on around me. It became unberable! I lost it one night and after slicing my arm, legs, and inside of my closet up quite a bit I took around 20 extra strength tylenol(500Mg each) and like 35-40 Ibuprofen(200Mg each). Just for more information I was 14 at the time and weighed around 100 lbs. Plus I was around 4′11 when I did it. No I didn’t die…obviously. but it did absolutely NO good for me. All it did was give me a HORRIBLE stomach ache and make me want to die more. I took them at night and couldn’t sleep at all. I ended up on the floor with my knees pressed to my chest because it hurt so bad and I felt so hot. The next day before school I took more Ibuprofen and even Midol(200Mg) just so I might have a better chance at finnishing the job. All that happened was made me have an even worse stomach ache PLUS have to go to school like that! My friend’s didn’t really notice they just said I looked really pale. I felt cold after the night went by. Cold, shaking, pale, dizzy, and confused. We had a sub in reading class and I ended up laying on the floor and slept until someone told me it was time for the next class. I didn’t even remember getting down on the floor. I through up by 3:30pm that day. Then felt better but trust me it isn’t worth it. It obviously doesn’t kill you so there is no point in it. Sure some might want the pass out dizzy part but trust me you do not want the stomach ache. It really feels like you are actually on the edge of dying and stuck in the painful stage…not moving on just staying in the painful state. HORRIBLE feeling. Please don’t try it…
ok first of all it dosent matter who lives or dies there will be new life and others will die so, if you die it dosent matter you will be forgoten and new life will reemerge later on and the to will die and be forgoten so my point is nothing matters just end it all someone better will take your place and so on and soforth
ummmm ok…. so it mentions side affects. would a certain ammount kill you even if you wernt alergic??? like what if you swallowed a bottle. what would that do?
my friend just took 26 cause she’s a retard and her vaginas bleeding & was trying to make her cramps go away. now she’s just throwing up everywhere.
HEY MARY YOU’RE A RETARD.
in reply to “…me?”
hope your doing ok, you comment got to me, friend currently overdoesed on 80 ibuprofens two nights ago. I hope your doing ok, hope you’ve seeked help from GP for anti depressents and some councilling.
alot of people care about you,
dont give up hope.

I took 9 pills once because I was stressed out and depressed. I ended up going to the hospital and was given charcoal. I was considered a suicidal case at age 16. It’s the BIGGEST mistake of my life. I’m now 17 1/2. I suggest anyone not to commit something like this. I’ve tried to put it all in the past but it still follows me. Besides the help that I got at the hospital, I went to go see a psychiatrist. Definetly recommend that I everyone
Oh and it was 800 mg.
My sister just had an overdose. She had about 24 tablets. She is at the hospital now, i was concerned but after reading all this it kind of sets my mind at ease. It is just so selfish to your family and friends to take your own life.
ibuprofen is for pain-relief. it isn’t for getting fucked up on, or ending your life. if you wanna get crushed, smoke some weed and drink a bottle or two of robitussin, if you wanna kill yourself, pull a knife on a cop, and if you just need something to muffle the pain, take a few ibuprofen.
I took 7 500 mg am I going to be okay?
I gave an overdos of ibupofrene to my cat. She started vomiting, had cramps . I thought i stop the intake, and she will get ok, but afer 3 days she died.
I imagine the same can hapopen to a human being.
i am really distressed.
If your trying to die, don’t use ibuprofen, it’s damn near impossible to die from this stuff. I’m not putting this up here so people will be able to take overdoses for attention, but I’m in a situation where i just want everything to end, I have counselling, but it doesnt help, because although my problems may improve i will always be me, and thats what i ahte, death is the only way i can not be me anymore. Does anyone know what i can take? It has to be easy to get hold of, preferrably something that will knock me out?
when you people think yall have NO ONEE, yall are wronge, each and everyone of you have Christ to go to, and if you think your depressed, Jesus went through it all, everyone hated him, we can talk to him and pray to him for help, dont give up the life He gave you, live it
im bout to take 21 200mg ibuprofens what will this do to me
i took 2 iburofen this morn about 12ish, 8 big pain killers bout hour ago, and i had 4 random tablets inbetween. i thought i wanted to die but i really dont, its DEPRESSION, dont let it get tp you, we can fight it together and we should,
life is worth living, think of the person you loved most in the world, imagine never seeing them again? its hard aint it?
this is a shame to hear so many young people have depression, being 14 i include myself, but everyone has something to live for, however im not attention seeking, i been in foster care since i was 5, my mum was raoed as a teen has 6 kids, recently had abortion, my brother is a druggy facing prison, and my foster home is hell,
life really fucked me up but im pretty sure ill survive tonight and if i do i promise never to do this stupid thing again, why would you want to waste a minute?
scary thing is i thought it was painless, but from what i read its not, so far im ok, but maybe ill get punished sooon?
i just took 75 ibuprofen, what will happen to me? …lol you guys are all idiots
i feel like dieing
i have nothing going for me
I had a plastic bag with 20+ ibuprofen in it in my pocket, and it fell out somewhere. I was in someone’s van in that time period, should I be worried about their kids finding it?
Wow I took 2 ibu’s once and then shot up an 80 oxy and later on in the night popped 3 xtc tabs. It was all fun and games till that x kicked in then i started trippinnn and seein crazy shit. It was at a rave though so all of this is common. Life is short live it up while you can. If you think overdosing ibu’s is fun you should really try shootin up some white mans heroin. get some oc’s in yo life nicca!
i have just turned 15
i love this boy and he loves me but he always breaks my hearrt which is soo unbearable.
he sometimes forces himself on me and im sick and tired of it because i love him
i have taken 64 ibuprofen tablets which are 200mg each which = 12,800mg
what do you think will happen to me so i am aware.
please reply straight away because im terrified :’(
it is true that some are attention-seekers ill admit, but some are truely serious when they say they need help. i appreciate all of you who have taken the time to show that you care for the safety of others, those are the people who truely save lives. and no it is not stupid to want to take your own life. if you felt what others feel you would understand so obviously most people have difficulty trying to put themselves in other peoples shoes because they have nothing to compare it to. yes life can be that bad!! and for all you assholes who are telling people not to be pussys, think twice, because you just might be pushing someone over the edge. and to those who are posting shit like ive just taken 5 advil i feel great, thats fantastic for you but who cares!
personally, i have never attempted suicide but i have come very close. i am getting help but depression is something that cannot be determined through a physical examination, though the medical community is trying. therefore, depression is extremely hard to understand and grasp for most. i didnt believe in it only until recently. it was in the back of my mind a couple of years ago because something just felt off, i was disconnected with my peers and it seemed to just sneek up. both my parents suffer from it, but my dad denied it for years, making me believe that it was something that was in the heads of those who were weak, but ive come to find that thats not true at all.
yes, get help, its hard because its a neurological disease yet many dont believe it. if something seems to be wrong, ask, do research. im still fighting it. ive cut myself several times. people do different things to cope. its not stupid. its not smart. but it is natural to try and help yourself when you feel dark or trapped, or when you dont feel at all. my dad finally made an appointment, but unfortunately he was unable to make it for weeks. its been torture having to live with the mask of a normal, happy person. but like many, my true feelings come out at night and ive desperately wanted to overdose just enough to knock me out, so my dad will truely believe me, so that someone will make me believe, not just tell me, that it will be okay. no one can truely believe those words until they become reality.
so please, dont tell someone theyre stupid or an idiot for not knowing how to cope with something that they cant control. the real idiots are those who refuse to understand. again, thank you to all of those who try their best to help those who need it, even when they themselves are just trying to survive. i am 17 and i want to die but there are people whom i love who will suffer the consequences, even if it seems they dont care. i do. do research it will give you insight and help you understand what you are feeling, because even if you may not believe it, there are people out there who feel similar to how you feel. thank you.
p.s. and to all of you who dont believe that depression is a neurological disease, you need to research it too. its chemical. its neurological. you wouldnt tell a senile old man to remember what he had for lunch would you? no you wouldnt. so dont tell depressed a depressed person to be happy because that is naive and ignorant. dont be ignorant, please.
Stop trying to be mellowdramatic..! It’s a waste of time and effort! Ibuprofen pretty much does nothing but make it hard to piss, then you just die a bit sooner… If you have a serious problem, do something about it, moping around taking over the counter drugs doesnt get you anywhere!
Everyone has problems, so if you want to kill yourself, just try and step back to look at the bigger picture… There are over 6 billion people in this world, and the great majority of those are at risk of an early death due to a plethora of other reasons; disease, famine, natural diasters etc… All these people, although in a ‘worse off’ environment are trying to survive!
For all of those asking dose questions, heres a little table of overdose values for you calculated using 400mg/kg guidlines… Obviously if they are 200mg tabs, then the overdose value is doubled.
Weight/ kg Number of 400mg tablets to overdose
45 112.5
50 125
55 137.5
60 150
65 162.5
70 175
75 187.5
80 200
85 212.5
90 225
95 237.5
100 250
Long term toxicity will no doubt, like in most biological systems increase exponentially with time… This toxicity is most likely due to your liver adapting to high ibuprofen exposure enzymatically, so in doing this, the liver inevitably reduces its metabolic capability for other compounds such as benzopyrene which does cause a problem…
Obviously, you may have some medical background, but you know nothing of psychology.
1) Taking pills to kill you, as you should know, is not instantaneous. People may realise during their attempt (e.g. carbon monoxide poisoning) that they don’t want to die. If you take a load of pills, lie there for an hour, and then realise you’re not sure if you really want to die, it doesn’t make you ‘attention seeking’.
2) ‘Attention seeking’ is a major sign that there is something wrong with someone, or an emotional imbalance. If you want attention, you want it for a reason, and in a lot of cases there is a very good reason.
Also, for a ‘paramedic’ you’re pretty callous. Change of profession, perhaps?
Hi my name is lindsey and last week i over dosed on ibuprofen. I went to the hospital because i blackedout and had a seizure. I was at the doctor yesterday fora checkup and he said my liver was swollen should i be worried that my liver will fail or that i will have the other simptoms?
I have a horrible headache and it’s not going away I took four IBs they were 200mg a piece was that a mistake?
nothing is so bad, that anyone should take their own life, or act like such an ass for the attention. you people really need to wake up and get you sh** together! overdosing, taking drugs,drinking until you pass out. trying to act cool. give me a break! common sence people! try it some time. what the hell is wrong with all of you. You just make yourselves look like a bunch of losers doing all that stuff.
I feel like reviving this. good stuff. i can’t figure out who’s joking and who isn’t. ibuprofin to kill yourself? really? you peeps need to find yourselves a drug dealer.
normally when i have back pain, I would take 10-15mg hydrocodone or oxycodone. since i’m out, i took some motrin. I took 800mg about an hour ago and my kidneys started to ache, so i got to googling. (I’ve had kidney infections, so I know when my kidneys hurt).
A good laugh cured my pain! whodathunkit?
about a month ago now, i was going through somehting where i felt really depressed. During my lunch break i walked all the way home and took about 10 ibuprofen. Later that night i was under a lot of stress and was kind of bummed that nothing happened. ( I didn’t want to kill myself, i just wanted to escape or something….idk what i was thinking…i wasn’t in my right mind.) So i had a large glass of gingerale and took about 10 ibuprofen again. Then i had about 10 plaquenil maybe more…. I went upstairs and lay down, and still nothing happened to me. So i went and took about the same amount of each as hte first time, maybe a little more in an angry attempt to feel something. Then i went to lay down again and i started to fell nauseous about half an hour later. I was getting dizzy and so tired, i was sweating and shivering and shaking like you wouldn’t believe, and i had hte worst headache. So i went in the bathroom and threw up about 12 times in those next 24 hours. Ofcourse i started to panick and was feeling guilty. i really wanted to tell my parents but i couldn’t, i knew they wouldn’t understand. So they just thought i had the flu, and i felt better again within the next week. But since then i haven’t told anybody. I feel like theres no one i can talk to. But I’m supposed to be taking one of each of those pills everyday and i haven’t since, because every time i think about it i feel nauseous and start gagging. I just need some advice now. I know i need to take my pills, but i can’t. by the way i have Lupus. Just a minor case. and i’m 15, and weigh 110 lbs.
I know many of you think this is crazy, and i’m not asking for attention. i just need some advice. this actually happened, as i read previous comments some say they don’t think these are true, that they just want attention or did it for attention. i just need to know what you think.
Hey peoples.
Wow I agree with Human but i also agree with those who have spoken. Most who are serious about overdosing will not write about doing so online, though there are some who have done so. I’ve tore a few tendons in my ankle so i take 800 IBU thingy. I came over here to see if i was past my limit before it became dangerous to continue to take, and I think you all, those who were serious that is, for your information. I feel much better knowing that i am not doing damage to my liver and other aspects
with warm regards and best wishes

Hi i am 37 years old my wife left me i have 5 kids just had twins 9months ago she wont talk to me at all just acts like she hates me so much i will take my life tonite if she dont talk to me this is not a joke i will take a bottle of tylenol and a botlle of motrin i love my kids and my wife but i cant deal with it anymore
i want to die and im going to take them tomorrow
someone tell me how many to take to make sure im gone.
for the quys wondering what overdosing will do why dont u just call a frigin expert such as a doctor which know alot about these kind of things instead of wasting ur time on the internet waiting for others to answer ur question wen u can call ur doctor x.x i just find it makes no sense of freaking out on the internet while not doing anything about it
Well i have taken over 100-200mg (20,000mg) of ibuprofen before on several different occasions…
nothing really happened…not that i physically noticed or anything…i seemed fine…i didnt vomit…i didnt fall asleep…it appeared to do nothing to me. i could walk normally. i would talk normally. i wasnt confused. i never went to the hospital. but now i dont think my liver is doing so well beccause my eyes are yellow and i dont sleep normally and my chest (liver and heart) always hurt. and when i say always i mean everyday all day. it sucks. so i recommend not to take more than the bottle says to take. and afer this and much more that i have been through with pills…you would think that i would have stopped taking pills…but i havent…i have tried many many many times over the past year. im trying to stop now. again. but its not easy. at all. so dont start.
The effects of an ibuprofen overdose start to kick in slowly, after months of continual abuse. For a start, you have to have been taking them on a more or less continuous basis, in a high dose, for months or even years. Secondly, if you are hoping for a quick and painful death then think again. Ibuprofen will cause liver failure, which will result in your skin turning yellow and excessive weight loss, followed by probable death. An ibuprofen overdose must also be treated within 60 minutes of the appearance of symptoms. More often than not, oral charcoal is used to stop your body from absorbing it. Your liver will repair 95% of the damage you do to it, which is why people attempting an instant suicide using them generally fail. I would suggest ’seeking help’ to you all like some wellwisher, but I’m going through depression too and I know how patronizing and useless ‘help’ can be when you are having a bad episode.
I took 10 Ibuprofen and 1 Amoxicillin about 2 hours ago, will I be ok? I eat about an hour ago. Got really depressed and didn’t know what could happen to your body before taking the Ibuprofen. I feel fine, still depressed but fine in myself. Will I be ok? I’m scared of ringing the doctors or talking to my mom. I don’t really have enough confidence to speak to anyone.
Please just help me.
I think it’s pretty dumb that you guys are ODing on ibuprofen, there are better things to do.
I took a total of 1800 MG today because of cramping after my LEEP procedure and still have pain from it so I was afraid to take more, the doctor prescribed me 800mg of it and told me to take 3 day… I’m pretty sure I’m all set even though I was scared at first. Thanks for the laughs. Get help.
just took 230 plus 200 mg IBU. ummm about 46000 mg worth will that do it? ehh i’ll see and let you find out and if U dont you know it did
I don’t know if anybody will respond, but it might help if somebody does…
I’m 13. Last time I went to the doctor’s (beginning of April) I weighed 103 pounds. Ever since January I’ve cut myself. For the past two years I’ve been suicidal and I’ve been told I don’t eat anything close to what I should be eating. Sometimes I sit there and hope that one day I’ll cut a little too deep and it’ll all be over; I’ll die. Other times I don’t want to see all of that blood so I take pain killers. Advil, Aleve, Tylenol… I don’t pass out. I haven’t been hospitalized. I don’t end up vomitting, but I take so many. I don’t know what to do. I just want to die, but nothing’s working. I can’t tell anybody because they’ll tell me to go to a counselor and I’m already going to the school counselor and a therapist outside of school, but all they’re trying to do is put my family back together. I need someone to tell me what to do…
ok for those of you that want to know what ibuprofen will do to you is taken to try and kill your self. I took 230+ pills of 200mg so a little over 46000mg. the only thing that happened was:
1. I still woke up the next day and with a head ach
2. Started felling like I had the flu (felt warm and cold)
3. You will get the runs (your body will try and get it out of your system)
4. You will vomit out what your body can not ingust.
5. you will sleep a lot ( and still wake up)
6. you will telll yourself that sucked and life goes on
So it all comes down to ibuprofen will not kill you
How many should I take to get high?
retards why dont you just jump in front of a train or use a chain saw and slice your pathetic little heads off….fucking sad cunts!!!! Just die nobody wants you around anyway you are a waste of space on this earth and you should never have been born…..FREAKS LMAO sad fucking cunts!
only joking…wouldnt be fair on the train driver…just take all the shit from under the sink and all the pills in the medicine cabinet LOL
y’all maotherfuckers are crazy i looked this up bc i got fucked over on a drug deal and got 8 800 mg ibuprofen instead of lortabs and got some liver and intense vomiting if you’re going to attempt suicide though just get a damn gun and don’t be a puss
Smoke pot.
My God, you brats are pathetic. Is this the only way you can think of to get attention? Go ahead and quit wasting perfectly good oxygen. With the stupid choices you’re making (and apparently you have no responsibility or anything better to do) you obviously have nothing useful to contribute to this life, so move on and try again in the next one. Personally, I would love for you to stop being a drain on society. I’ve never seen a more worthless group of losers. Ever.
My mum is on 1600 mg of ibuprofen three times daily for her bad hip and it’s fine!
I was took a 4 ibuprofen it 800mg but i took a 4 then 5 min later my smotach starting pain and hard to walk around. It will be ok soon or need go er hospital? I just in little dizzy ‘n my back was twist it champ hurtly. Soon i get fell asleep but it will alright for me soon? I need know if it allright or not.
I would like to state the fact that the word would be a better place if comments were just disabled from this site. Seriously people? “Imgoingtokillmyselfwith20ibu” no, it doesn’t work that way. Unless you are currently indiapers you are NOT going to die. Unless you continue this as a habit of 20 a day for months you will doubtly have serious damage done. If you are reading this after you have taken 20 ibu, take another 200 or 300 if you plan on dying before mommy comes to wake you up in the morning and she just thinks you’ve been smoking weed. Ibu is not the drug to take if your trying to kill yourself. I thought back in middle school if I took 40 (assorted) pills before I left for school I could really hurt myself. I ended up with my head in the toliet and the worst high I’ve ever had.
Ps, I was probably around 110 pounds. And DIDNT die. Please people, get help. Lifeis worth living.
a month ago my teen took a lot of 600mgs of ib.. now there is something worng with her heart the Dr. said it was QT syndrome. Now the other thing is that her creatinine blood levels are low and there are others that are high on her lab work up. I am wondering if this has any bearing on what she did to herself last month. last month at the hospital; ER her EKG was fine and so were her labs. I would real like to know thank
I just took 28 ibuprofen USP400 caplets and i only weigh about 140 lbs. and NOTHING is happening to me. and i dont feel anything at all.

There is a point in life when all you want to do is die,and you will live
There is another point in life,when you dying you just want to live
What a bunch of cocks you all are! And for the record its 400mg per kg for a really toxic dose and anything over 100mg per kg for a mildly toxic dose. I suggest the majority of you go for the big one and put us all out of our misery!
i just took 20 . i’m feeling okay.
My names Johnboi and I took 8 ibuprofen’s over the last day. will i die? horrible headaches
I just took 4x 400mg advil liquigels and it still HURTS!!! All i have left is a bottle of Oxycodone from my wisdom tooth surgerey a few months back…..Down the fucking hatch!
i took one 800 mg of ibuprofin twice within 24 hours, and I washed it down with Gatorade…. Is my knee going to get better? and what do you think the weather will be tomorrow?
lol
I had 3 lower rear teeth removed 5 weeks ago. The nerve was damaged Forget what its called starts with a T. Now im on Lyrica and at least 20 advil a day. Watch out for drinking W/advil I landed in theeeee hospital twice. Last stay was in june, 1 week…had Pancreitis thats painQ
my ibuprofen says dont consume 6 within 24 hours…ive had 10 in 24 hours!! what will this do?
My bottle of 200mg Ibuprofen says not to take more than 6 tablets every 24 hours. That probably means it’s safe to pop a few more than that, but if you’re really going for pain relief (and not to knock yourself out or cause yourself permanent organ damage), just ask your doctor. It sounds corny & like a waste of time, but it’s probably worth it. You might end up getting prescribed some percocet or something else that can actually kill you if you OD.
Some of you people are so paranoid! I get awful migraines so I take 14 200 mg advil 2-4 times a day. I’ve been doing this for years. (there Are days when i don’t take any) I’m fine. It’s ibuprofen not opiates. Stop thinking it’s time to call poison control and go have your stomach pumped.
i eat fifty to sixty 200 mg ibuprofen pills everyday, and have for several years now, my tolerence level is way up, but it helps with the pain some, ….am i hurting my liver, stomach, and kidneys,. probably, but i have no side effects as of now,
i just blended 120 advil liquid gels into a smoothie with a banana and some frozen strawberries, as well as milk and some frozen yogurt. I split the smoothie with my cat who weighs at least 20 pounds. I weigh about 185 pounds. What will the effects be on me and my cat?
i took like 5 muscle relxers and like 7 stomach pills and the muscle relaxers are very strong. it knocked me out . i went sleep at a friends house when this happened and i cant even remember how i got back home. i still have blurred vision and a bad head ache and i slept ALL day i didnt even stay up a full hour today.. and i have tried over doesing before i jus dont know what the pills are called some one please e-mail me or something to tell me if this will kill me or what?

ghjgj
ugh i took 22 last night…
is that bad?
Okay first of all
those who take ibuprofen for headaches
IT CANT HELP HEADACHES
ibuprofen can only help with muscle pain and inflamation
second IT CANT HELP STOMACH ACHES in fact overdosing actually causes stomach aches
next del your retarded with oxycodone all you need is one, and yet again if its not muscle or joint pain advil wont help no matter how much you take
would you all just read the fucking labels of the drugs you take? they say it on the damn bottle, im sorry but you are all incredibly stupid…
All of you that think you are going to die from an over the counter pill like ibuprofen are fucking retarded. You wont die from taking too much of it, you really wont. Take as much as you like and don’t worry about your liver. If you want to kill yourself do it the right way, with a gun or with drugs that actually DO something. “OMG i took ten ibuprofen and i think im going to die!” SHUT THE FUCK UP. I’ve had bad sore throats where i literally took entire bottles of the stuff. Guess who is still alive and kicking? I am. This is just more health-ed bullshit that you get from highschool. “drugs are bad, they will kill you” I know people that rail coke and roll on e everyday for years and they literally have no side effects. Go do what makes you happy, if you hurt a little more than usual, go for gold, take as much advil as you want. It wont do jack shit. Get some oxy or some viks or even morphine if you have the the hookups if you want to kill your pain. Those are drugs you actually have to worry about. Oh if you want a cool overdoes try tripple c’s. You trip balls for a few hours and then nothing. Totally awesome
It rained last night and I buried a few Ibuprofen’s to help my plants pain, will they die?
Okay, for anyone who is freaking out about an overdose…QUIT!! A few years ago when I was 17 I took 80+ pills in a matter of ten minutes. The result was a week of puking and pure misery. Ibuprofen will not kill you (unless you are allergic), so if you’re wanting a quick fix for your miserable lives then don’t go to ibuprofen. After a major overdose you’ll wake up puking and realize that you’re a complete idiot. Been there, done that, don’t recommend it.
artards are hilarious i got great enjoyment from reading this.
thankyou
by the way, victory is mine
and you should try being active to get rid of pain
like play a sport instead of sitting on your ass
and dont do drugs they’re bad for you
with love, your friend(maybe)
Paul (which is a ridiculous name for a cat)(thats a person’s name)
What’s so absolutely disgusting is that Marijuana works so, so much better than Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Aspirin and it’s infinitely harder to overdose on and it’s illegal. Politicians make me sick to my stomach.
jesus christ people,what is the point of taking an overdose then worrying about it and putting it all over here?
if your gonna take more than the recomended doseage,just man up and do it kayy?
fucking hell,retards.
I was always an introvert, and being nutured with a abusive mother throughout my life has been percieved as a blockade in all my dreams i wished to pursue. I’ve been chocked with belts my moms hands, had knifes pointed at me, kicked, punched, slapped, whipped with coat hangers and metals, humiliated by my mom when she’s drunk in front of friends; my life with my mom has consisted of screaming, hurtful words, and abuse, and i’m still living my unstable equilibrium i call life. I’ve attemped suicide over and over, still drawn between fear of not wanting to kill myself or to escape the pain at the belief that my mom hated me and nothing was going to change that factor in my life so I would think everytime I get near the medicine cabinet “If mom’s going to continue this endless shithole, what’s the purpose in living?” or “Who else is she going to beat up now? I hope she blames herself for the rest of her shitty life..”
I haven’t popped as much pills as I tried strangling myself or hacking at my skin with the kitchen knives. Most I popped was suprisingly only 13…. and I was quite happy for the past 2 days. After my mom had screamed at me for coming home late(i wasn’t even late, it was a half day..), threw all the dishes, smoked in front of my face to spite me, poured beer on my hair, and when i went to go wash my hair in the sink she pulled my hair out and started pulling on my hair. I never usually retort to my mom or fight back cause it’s just developed in to common sense if i do shit like that i’d be in a deeper yelling session and she wasnt hurting me as bad as she usually does. But all that built up frustration that I usually get out by doing yoga or listening to music was building up like a wildfire and I pushed her, hard. My mom hit the bathtub, clearly drunk and having no support, I felt like a monster, I felt like the thing I hated the most, I felt like my mom. My mom even though she hit the ground, was okay (thank god) and went back to sleep but cried herself to sleep. My sister heard what happened and started crying which made me feel more like a monster, only my mom made her cry.
I grabbed those Ibuprofens and popped 13, not thinking of anything else but to make me drop dead and not experience the stinging in my heart.
but a week passed, nada happened, I was happy nothing happened cause whom else would take care of my sister? my mom would clearly abuse her more if I was gone….. And soon i’m going to be 18, I can pursue my dreams finally and be free…. And most importantly what strayed me from killing myself was discovering God, someone who would love me no matter my flaws nor the sins i’ve commited, only if I accepted him in my heart, I was tired of balancing my life on my mom when I got home, I wanted someone to rely on, someone to cherish without being hurt, I wanted guidance in life that wasnt saying that I was some piece of trash and that I was going nowhere, I really really wanted that one of a kind love I never got from my mom..I promised myself I would never hurt myself or anyone after I got Jesus Christ in my life.
u all gotta b shitting me. trust me i completely understand more than u could all possibly know. i too was addicted and at one point i did cut myself, but u need to realize that ur hurting the people ulove more than just urself. ur loved ones dont want to find u some morning because its really hard on them to know u did it to urself. they’ll blame theirselves and they too may do the same things to rid themselves of the pain. just please remember that.
well hey,.. you all sound stupid, and this is prolly going to sound worse,.
i can’t count it rite now, but i think i just popped 20(800m) of mine, 20(800m) if my bros, and 20(400m) of my sis,. our house is all out of pain killers,. and im still not fucken gone,.. soz guys it dosn’t work
Ive taken 37 advils… im only 13. i didnt die. i doubt anyone else will. unless ur rlly oldd and have medical problems.
Okay, what if you took about 18pills at the same time same day? What would happen???
Don’t believe everything you read here. When I broke my collar bone I was prescribed an opiate based painkiller (can’t remember the name now) which I had a violent reaction to. My doctor switched me to a 1000mg dosage of Ibuprophen, which I took at least once a day. I had no adverse side effects.
I’ve been taking a 600-1200mg dose now for my the pain of my recent work injury (torn tendon). I find it to be a very effective painkiller.
It is certainly much safer than any opiate painkiller, and carries no risk of dependency/addiction.
Just my two cents. YMMV
i take ibuprofen because for some reason it helps me not urinate often, i have asmall bladder and i have had a biopsy and my bladder is really small.. when i take ibuprofen it helps me to not feel my pee.. i want to continue taking ibuprofen 2-3 a day 200 mg daily.. will this harm me? taking the pills really do help my life a llittle better
Found this page looking to see if my 7 ibuprofen caplets and soluble paracetamol would make me overdose. I feel dumb.
i need help! how many paracetamol + ibuprofen do i need to take to die straight away. i weigh 75kgs and I’m 16. I don’t want someone to tell me go see a doctor, cos that is not what i want. I need to die, there is nothing that will stop me just someone please help me do it ASAP.
Thanks.
Hey,
About Ibuprofen, is this 400mg/kg if you take it in one go?
A few years ago I was an idiotic youngster and over 2 weeks I took about 20 ibuprofen (sometimes more, sometimes a little less). This resulted in me being ill for a long weekend. now, 4 years later I had a great party but with a good long drinking session. The next morning I woke up with a painful liver, and now, day 2 its still hurting a bit.
Could this be because of the ibuprofen?
Thanks,
Niels
So how many would it take to kill the average woman?
how much mg
im confused x
Come on people, can’t anybody do the math. 10 ibuprofen AREN’T going to hurt your. READ: 100mg/kg. Over-the-counter ibuprofen are 200mg each. To reach the minimum overdose level a 180lb person would have to take 40+ ibuprofen. A 250lb person 60+. Those are the safe, you’re screwed up and super sensitive levels. The overdose level isn’t considered until 400mg/kg. That’s 162 for the 180lb person and 223 for the 250lb person.
Read the crackhead’s story. 9 (minimum) ounces of alcohol and plenty of cocaine. The alcohol alone is enough to get some people sick (not heavy drinkers). Let alone combined with crack and the likely under-exaggeration/down playing in the story. The lousy 4g over 8+ hours of ibuprofen did NOTHING. Remember, ibuprofen has a half life of ~2 hours in your system. So after 4-6 hours, you’ve completely metabolized more than the recommended dosing.
Also, I was PRESCRIBED 2×800mg pills every 4-6 hours as needed for knee pain as a CHILD. With lawsuits and CYA doctors, do you really think 20 pills at 1/4 strength over 24 hours are going to hurt an adult?!?!?!
so I’m thirteen, in middle school & all ready I feel like a faiure.
everyone says keep holding on things will get better but I’ve lost everybody.
my bestfriends, my families love everyone except my boyfriend & I just don’t wanna live anymore. I’m scared to “do it” it though, like commit suicide but I think I’m going to. the only
thing stopping me at the moment is my boyfriend of six months, we’ve already been through
so much together & that would break his heart & my grandmas the only other person who
probably even cares. if you have any advice please help!
i just took 8 ibuprofen coz i wanna die wat will happen..
Okay, everyone on this forum needs to get a life. I have a friend who just diead and it’s not funny AT ALL to have to deal with that, All you people on here who think it’s “cool” or you’ll get the “sympathy vote” for saying, “oh, i took 37 ibuprofen!”, it’s not cool at all. Everyone who wants to hurt themselves needs to stop playing around and get HELP. If my friend had gotten help with her PainKiller addiction, she would still be on this Earth,
RIP, Michelle,
I’m thinking of taking two hospital strength 800mg Ibuprofens is this gonna damage my inside or kill me? cus 1 just won’t do the trick
Ok i tok 2 i am about 5′3 i wiegh 100 or 114 around there and i took 2 pills i wanna kill myelf how can i do it well liek how many more can i take?
I thought about digesting the rest of my 800mg Ibuprofens as a suicide attempt. Thanks for letting me know that it won’t work!
I accidentally the whole bottle, wat do?
what will taking 3 or 4 do to you?
nothing, well itd not good for you , but you wont die
I’ve been considering overdosing for a while now.
Considering my used to be ‘best friend’ has started telling me to just do it. and has posted everywhere that i should just do it.
I’m going to take 40 x 500mg Ibuprofen tomorrow. I don’t care if I die. And If I overdose then maybe the hoe will wake up and realise that it’s not funny.
Will it be worth it? Proving her a lesson is worth your life?
yeah fuckthat shit man, go buy a bag of weed liver your liver
can only take so much
hey, by the sounds of it Ibuprofen isnt that useful if you want to kill yourself. Instead why dont you go to a doctors or talk to someone, everyone gets down days and weeks and months.. it passes. And those who are just doing it for attention, everyone already understands, and somtimes you want people to notice you but this isnt the way to do, its not healthy to start with and also it gives other people the impression they should do it too.
Also, ODing because someone told you too? do you really want to put that on their shoulders? and also give in to them?
everybody is a wonderful person and we should all try atleast to live a great life. We all have our bad parts and depression and feelings in general, some are better at hiding it. But really, you dont get attention after you die. Not the sort you want anyway.

I know alot of you are serious, but 10 isnt going to hurt you. 20 might throw you off, but it all depends. I took 10 as an “overdose” just to see what it was like. Not all that bad. Head hurts, yeah. Stomach, yeah. But that probably because I haven’t eaten for the past four days either. :/
Everyone here yelling and saying that suicide is stupid: you don’t know. You will never understand the feeling of the blade underneath your skin, the relief. You will never understand the pain or the suffering or the trauma some people have gone through. You [people screaming at the suicidal] can sit here and pretend, but you have a computer right? You have a roof above your head, right? You’ve never had to go through these things, or worry, or have to beg your friends not to tell your mom because it would tear her apart.
You don’t know. Because if you did: you wouldn’t be yelling.
For everyone asking about overdosing and friends,
If the person overdosing is taking them just to overdose, and they aren’t in pain before, they DO need help. Because it WILL start at 10, then 15, then 30, then 100, and soon enough, they will be popping entire bottles. Its an obsession and its linked with bad memories. You overdose to try and forget.
If you’re feeling suicidal: talk to your friends, talk to a teacher, a mentor, someone that you look up to. They are there to help.
I’m 13 and I’ve gone through alot. I feel suicidal, yes, and I”m not going to hide it. But I’m not looking for attention. I feel like killing myself sometimes, blades/pills, but I have friends and people who care about me. Life is what you make it, you can’t change the past, and you cant erase your memories. Life is hard; but you can’t expect everything to clear up by overdosing.
Alrite people.
Those who took less than 20 Ibuprofens, you aren’t going to die. Jus chill the hell out okay.
Take it from me.
I’ve ingested over 60 Ibuprofen pills at a time along with 8 Prilosec, 10 Advil, 10 Alieve, 25 Tylenol, 5 Addrrall, along with 8 Vicodin. With that I’ve drank 10 Monsters and smokes packs of menthol. For mr it was fun as hell. I got EXTREMELYY hyper as fuck, shaky, jittery an sweaty. I did this for months. I overdosed more than once in my own home, never went to the hospital or ER. No one took me an my parents jus thought “Oh what the hell. You feel like shit all the time anyways.” I overdosed to the point when I couldn’t move an jus layed in bed all day. My stools were black an I started getting random bruises in really weird places. I was internally bleeding. I finally went to my doctor an lost a huge amount of weight, and I have ulcers and intestine problems. I drink alcohol, do X, an smoke cigarettes an Im still alive. I cant do pills anymore or else Im told I will drop dead.
So yep.
hey what if i took ibi proven pm i took like 9 or 10 you think ima be okay??? oh i i threw up blood but i think i got som

I drink a hellovalot of alcohol [vodka, beer an smoke cigarettes an I’m still alive today. I cant do pills anymore or else I’m told I will drop dead. My heart will stop. It was fun for a while, popping pills, but it isn’t worth it. It was a huge ass waste of money to me and it fucked up my stomach, intestines, and kidneys. I had a ton of bloodtests done an suprisingly my liver is okay. I used to be into a lottt of drugs when I was younger an growing up. From huffing, to snorting, to smoking, to pill popping, to X, to alcohol drinking, to a bunch of other shit. My body is fucked an it’s because of what I’ve done to it. I’m 18 years old now and I’ve been a vegan for a long ass time. I’m only 5′4″ an I’m underweight. I smoke like a psycho an drink often. I’m clean off of drugs though. No pills or illegal shit anymore. I have a lot of disorders n shit aswell, like general anxiety disorder, paranoia, panic disorder, borderline depression, post traumatic stress disorder, anorexia, anti-social, and I may be inheriting arthritis. Its fucked up. I’m an 18 year old girl with a fucked up body cuz of all the drugs n shit I did. Don’t pop fucking pills. It’s fucking stupid. Overdosing is a fucking bitch. It isn’t fun after you get like, fuckin hit from the pills. I would get happy an hyper as hell an then, later on at night, insomina haunted me followed by a racing heart, throbbing body, shaking, sweaty as fuck an feverish, EXTREME stomach pain, migrane, extreme ear pain, loss of appatite, dizzy, lightheaded, extreme weakness, fatique, internal bleeding, tight muscles, blurry vision, faint feeling, I couldn’t even fucking move. I was fucking dying. Good thing I went to the doctors. I coulda popped more pills an have drop dead. My heart would have fuckin exploded. Not kidding. I was told this by the doctors and my psychiatrist. They wanted to put me into a mental institution. Not fun.
Don’t fucking pop pills. Its dumb as fuck. I was dumb. Now I know better. Don’t fuckin do it.
For all those people who are suicidal, if you are that depressed, get help. Don’t fuckin hurt yourself. That’s not worth shit. Go talk to someone. Anyone. They have a LOT of meds that can make you mellow an happy. I’m on loads for my depression and it really fucking helps, quite honestly.
Life sucks.
And if Life was a person, I would probably murder it.
But you know what? Life should be shitty. Not everything is perfect. Life is what you choose to make it. You wanna experiment an fuck up like I did, go right ahead.
But just remember, with actions, comes consequences.
I learned the hard way.
hey my friend just took some ibuprofin, i dont know how many but it made him kind of loopy, is that bad or expected? no, he is not suicidal, i can promise you that, i just want to know if it is unusual for him to act deranged after over dosing on ibuprofin, please reply quickly
It really depends on how much your friend took.
It expected to make you loopy n shit if you take an overdose.
It’s not unusual.
Jus really be fuckin careful.
All you fuckin dickheads who mock people that are atempting suicide are fucked in the head. i have several times thought of comiting suicide until reading this site. i have had really bad relationship problems but this is nothing on the scale of some people on here. they have real problems and do not deserve to have the piss taken out of them. for those of you who are doing it for attention. it is sad but some people just cry for help. i was thinking of toppin myself tonight but have realised there is always somebody worse off than you. life it to precious. THINK ABOUT THINGS.
peace out
I agree with you.
Suicide honestly, is not the way to go though.
I’m not making fun. It’s jus, really fuckin sad to see that someone who is so sad or upset or depressed to the point where they want to take their own life.
If you are that depressed, get help. Don’t fuckin hurt yourself. That’s not worth shit. Go talk to someone. Anyone. They have a LOT of medicines that can make you mellow an happy. I’m on loads for my depression and it really fucking helps, quite honestly.
There ARE ways to get over and through depression.
There are things that can help.
Life is INDEED precious. Therefore, take care of your life in the best fucking way possible.
Don’t throw it away. No one is worth that. Noone. Everyone deserves a chance to listen an be heard. Everyone deserves a chance to live their life like there’s no tomarrow.
Don’t let hurtful an bothersome things crush you, get in the way an bring you down.
Everyone is strong in their own way.
Our bodies were made to endure extreme amounts of hurt an pain, both physically an mentally.
Try to relax if you can.
Jus breathe, in an out. Close your eyes.
I hope for the best for you ‘adam 1990.’
Ill be here if you wanna talk.
-Take Care.
-Michelle the MsfitsFiend
I have something to say to that.
Everyone has the right to die. It is our natural right to want to die, and to die. I can tell this is written from someone who has not felt sad or depressed enough to kill themselves. There are people out there who simply should not live, and do not want to live.
With problems, nobody can help you. The only solution is to just move on, or forget it. Face it, nobody understands anyones problems. Not completely, and not to the necessary point to help someone. You have no idea what any of these people go through or have been through.
Those who you who feel crap and are taking pills please don’t there are people who care about you and it would hurt them so much if they knew…talking is the best pain reliever…
Guys who are taking the piss…some people hurt inside and need help, love and friends…they know how to kill themselves…they may just need a break =)
ive look 10 tablets in less than 24 hours lol, wonder whats happening next
to be honest i dont care what happens to me anymore. =(
my friend is 17, 115 lbs, and just took like 14 pills. what will happen to her and what should i go. i am sick to my stomch.
You should see a doctor ASAP.
I came across this blog having looked up ibu overdose when my mother called to say she took double her normal dose (prescribed) by accident.It is difficult to read comments here from people who are suicidal and walk away and ignore it,hence my reason for caring to write.Whatever life has thrown at you ,always remember there are people worse and still coping with life.In the end it is not what you do to yourself that counts,it is what you do for others that really makes a difference to peoples own lives. Giving brings its own rewards. Try it. You may find you feel better! When you feel bad, try helping someone who feels worse,you may surprise yourselves that by contributing to someone elses life, it makes a huge difference to your own life. You may find you need people and they are not there for you. Think about it. If everyone took that attitude,nobody would be there for anyone. It is better not to care about who is there for you. Be there for others,that is what matters.To do this you have to rise above expecting people to be there for you and accept the more you give the more you get back at some point in life,even if it takes a long time! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Well said Catherine….
I would love to know how long the symptons of an ibuprofen overdose can last in particular the ringing in the ears – its driving me mad…..and making me want to take more tablets which is how the problem started in the first place – ah – vicious circle!!
I’ve not told anyone about my overdosing – how do you tell anyone?! – I’m well aware of the effects that it would have on my family and its hard enough that they know about my self harming without adding pill popper to the mix !!
my friend took four at once. is that bad?
wow you guys have lost your minds how about not being a coward and finishing out your life. allow natural selection and god to kill you. dont kill your self. Bunch of cowards. I lost my job blah blah. no body ever said life was easy. its not how you start its how you finish. if you wanna be know as the asshole that offed his self on ib. go for it, its your legacy. Make me sick.

long story short… pills dont work
I’m having a tough time with things…just cant handle shit no more….I take shit all the time and im sick of it…im sick of life…so tonight I took 14 pills all at once…and this aint my first time taking more then the recommended dosage….last week it was 13 and a month ago it was 20… i’m trying to not do anything to myself…but the more things that come up the more i get stressed out….Had a counslor didnt help out so i got rid of her when i was 15… just dont know what to do…im know 21 and life just keeps hitting me with more depressing matters… Its christmas eve and im just not in the mood for caring like i used to…..I have been having some side effects to the pills but i figure what ever happens to me would be a lot better then what i have to put up with every day of my life…. Not intrested in much this year….
Well first off all when i was 1 my brother who is older then me by 6 years played to roughly and ended up hurting me accidently so that i had to get stitches… when i was 2 my brother thought he would be funny by locking me in to my grandparents bedroom for an hour in the dark…and when i was 3 he got way too rough and i ended up tearing a ligament in my shoulder…a couple of months later he put handcuffs on me and threw away the key…he got in trouble but hes always hated me .when i was 4 & 5 i was molested by 2 different guys….never ever been treated right by my step family….my step dads gotten semi abusive.
My real family dont like casue im what they call a sin baby ( mom had sex before marriage , got pregnant and had me)
Every holiday dont go to family gatherings casue they dont like my step dad…my bf of 9 months promised me that he would tell me anything and not keep secrets and i found out from my brother that he had been lieing to me….Hes know decided that he wont be coming to my house for my b-day… I have no one to turn to. Me and my family arnt close and the one person who i thought i could trust…basically messed that up….I really need some advice…and not something demeaning and crude…I want to at least know what else i can do….I’m also a self abuser and a self injurer…hurt myself and only myself.
Lisa, please seek help. I have been there in s similar situation. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Most places have a community center that has councelors for you to talk to and work on a sliding scale if you end up seing a shrink. They charge you based on your income if you do no have insurance. If you do not want to seek a coucelor like that, there are many places to go. Most schools have councelors, a religious figure like a priest or something. They have hotlines set up to talk to people. Many 800 numbers if there is not one in your area. You have been through alot and need someone to help you who will not judge. The thing is that those we love or have a relationship with or family can tend to be judgemental. These people will not judge you. Be strong, stay safe, and remember someone is thinking about you.

Wow. I was just Googling “ibuprofen overdose” because a lifetime friend/neighbor/ co-worker of my husband’s said he was in ICU with a IBU O.D… (I think he’s lying just because he didn’t want to cover one of my husband’s shifts.) I digress, I have learned that he most likely is lying… THIS TIME. Our friend attempted suicide many many years ago and chances are he used IBU along with loads of alcohol. It was a very hard time in everyone’s life. He was admitted to the Psych Ward on his 1st & 2nd attempts. (which proves he was lying this time because that’s where he’d be right now, not at home smoking weed with his homies)
I didn’t expect all this jibber-jabber psycho-blabble crazy talk… Suicide is like this: You do it or you don’t. In the past 4 years I’ve had a cousin OD on painkillers because she missed her mother (died the year before) another cousin from my dad’s side hang himself in the park, no one even knew he was depressed until reading his letter. A friend this year, co-incidentally also hung himself in the park, although not the same park… he tried expressing himself by saying he’s angry all the time, but no one took that as “I want to die.” He just landed a great job, had a girlfriend and a little baby on the way. I didn’t see it coming and I’m still dealing with it. A friend (who I previously mentioned) had 2 attempts, with pills & alcohol.
If you really are suicidal and are seeking help, or someone to talk to, don’t come to a place like this online. YOU WILL ONLY BE RIDICULED BY PEOPLE SAYING THEY GAVE THEIR 20LBS CATS AND EMO PLANTS IBUPROFEN. My friend confided in me, after the funeral I attended this year, that if I had not been there to listen to him, he may have attempted again and succeeded. He said what made the difference was that I didn’t treat him any different after the two consecutive attempts… everyone else acted like they were on “thin ice” and tip-toed around the subject, tried to avoid it altogether. If there is someone willing to listen without judgement, talk to them. OR TRY APATHY!
If you truly want to die, and haven’t yet done so, then just get it over with. Forget the pills and do something that works. And for those of you who are using it as a way to “get back” at people, it will make them hurt if that is what you want, but not in a way you intended. They will hurt with disappointment that you were never honest and open. They will get over it once they realize YOU were the one with the problem, because you are infact the one with the problem & the most liberating thing: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FIX IT. It’s not even a good “get even” tactic, because you’ll be DEAD. It’s the old addage, “Anger is like taking poison in hopes your enemy will die.” Quite literally.
I believe everyone has suicidal AND homicial thoughts. It’s a matter if you’re going to allow them to consume you. You youngsters should just listen to Twiztid and ICP, you’ll learn you aren’t alone on this dirtball we call home.
BTW, Some of these posts were mildly informative and somewhat amusing. I like the 20lb cat question the best! I’ve seen a cat trip on mushrooms… it was such a buzz kill for me. Cats are so funny like that.
so true. you are right.
i had a suicide attempt a few hours ago. i had about 20 ibuprofen and 5 paracetamol, i feel i a bit sick, nearly fell over, and feel dizzy, i feel even more depressed. is this normal?.
Some what. I remember the first time I OD on ibuprofen. I’d be careful with other drugs, however, read up on them and their serious side affect warning signs. try to be safe, its not fun when someone finds out and you get in trouble. just saying…
For the last 4 years ive done nothing but thinking of killing myself and it never works i hate my life i am the black sheep of my family i just want my life to end now i cant even get hold of gun ! tablets r pointless cuttin wrist is pointless also….
Try living, get help, be who you are and dont worry about differences. Life is hard but that does not mean giving up.
ive tooken 64 nurofen i hope i die
not the way that will kill you you don’t
So my friend took more than 80 tablets at one time, and saw no effects what could explain this?
I’ve taken 13 shots of vodka…and after an hour i took 12 pills of Dexamethosone, 14 pills of advil, 12 pills of percacet, 16 pills of alieve, 16 pills of vicodin….I told myself, if I don’t die, I would try harder in life and find better ways to deal with things…an hour later, i was knocked out cold and when i woke up, nothing happened. I guess I wasn’t meant to die.
I would like to die. But happen to never wake up… hmmmm
ha my lifes is not even bad… Just dont wanna be here. After My dose im sure nothing will happen.
4 years ago, i intake a bottle of ibuprofen…
though i didn’t experience the said effects above yet..
i havent even let a doctor diagnose me..
uhm, do you think it already damage my body system?
Dont need all the life bullshit and stuff but how many Ibuprofen 400mg tablets does it take to kill you. Need an answer soon as my friend has just downed a ton of them. Please reply asap.
I took 4 of the 200mg Ibuprofen gelcaps from Walmart in a 6 hour period (not trying to overdose, just in sever pain from dental work). Next thing I know, it’s 5am and I am puking and pissing out of my ass until noon. Not a pleasant experience.
i have read these and have attempted it a few times, not succeeding apparently, at anything in my life. i don’t care if i live anymore.
feel like taking a walk and disappearing
how maney do you need to eat to have organ failure?
nothings worse then someone talking about trying to kill themselfs, do it u fucking bitch to come onto these sites and talk about it and wine about just fucking do it
What the hell is the matter with you people? Suicide is not a fucking joke. You all make me sick. Some people are on here reaching out for help and all you can do is make it worse. You people are pathetic. I only hope someone near and dear to you never has a problem and you have to deal with the consequinces. Just think of that. I am a Psych major and can tell you that there are rarely obviouse signs in those who are seriously wanting to committ suicide until it is too late. you can think all is good, then you get that call. Think about that when you are making an ass of yourself on a public forum like this. You just may have aided in someone taking their life. Now the question is, do you feel good about that?
So basically my doctor is trying to put me into organ failure. nice.
2000mg ibuprofen (2 horse pills and 2 otcs) 3 times per day for 7 days with food. Weight 230
For severe pain relating to a sinus infection, abscessed tooth, and ear infection. Also taking antibiotics
Patient history of pain killers for chronic leg pain resulting from injury. (800mg ibprofen 3 times daily for swelling, Oxycontin as needed for pain)
I don’t take Oxycontin, Demoral, or any other opiate based pain killers anymore as they tend to knock me loopy
i consumed about 5200 mgs of ibuprofin today. 26 tablets. yeah it was suicide, but im still alive, so can somone comment and tell me the details about what will happen to me and when. i texted chacha and it said i will die in a week due to liver failure. thanks

i took a lethal overdose of paracetomol twice! first time was a test for the symtoms second time i took just over sixty tabs and went to sleep in the hope i wouldnt wake up but fuck i was wrong i woke up to a blood soaked bed from my vomit yes i was profusly spewing blood i manged to get up and go to the bathroom looked in the mirror and my face and eyes were yellow i jumped in the car and went straight to hospital later on found out my lung had collapsed i had torn the inside of my throat and stomach because of violent spewing my liver had failed and kydneys werent far behind i spent 4 weeks in hospital and just about accomplished what i set out to do in the first place (big mistake) this was not remotly a pleasant experience and dont wish upon it to anybody!
right now, its one week later. its 21/1. maybe 1/21? i dont know how the date works…
anywho i am still alive and i can say chacha was wrong, so i dont know who to beleive, or whether or not i will die, and or when.

WANNA DIE GONNA KILL MY SELF NEED SUM HELP ANY TAKERS
If you really want to take your own life and stop living a life full of sorrow. Then i won’t stop you. I understand what you are feeling and what you are going through. My best friend took her own life by an overdose on heartpills. She died the next day. I would never forgive myself for letting her go.
I could see passed all that sorrow in her eyes that she had made her decision, so it was too late for me to change her mind. I remember her telling me that she tried all kinds of pills from Iburofen to paracetamol to even weight loss pills. And they did’nt do anything but make her really sick. So i suggest that you don’t use those kinds of pills and use either hearts pills or anti’s.
It will be painfull but not as painfull as other pills. But every death has pain. So if you want to die then you must pay the price of pain.
Then you will be rewarded with your death. I would know this because i went through it with my best friend. After she died i tried so hard to follow in her footsteps but i just could’nt do it, i could’nt swallow anymore pills. And now i live life with heart problems and without a best friend. And to whoever is reading this and wants to take their own life, i hope this works for you and may you rest in peace.

Oh and i don’t know how many pills you should take to make the full effect but a good 30 – 40 should do it. But it really depends on how good your immune system is. So you might have to take even more.
I’m only 17 and on a daily basis i take four 400 mg of percription ibuprofen. I’ve bee doing this since i was in the 7th grade. I am now a jr in high school. i have overdosed 11 times since i was in middle school. believe me it is not the best feeing in the world. i also suffer from clinical depression. my overdoses were suicide attepmts but i was never once have been put in a mental hospital or anything like that.
seriously, if you want to die find another way to commit suicide. popping pills isnt the way to do that.
Ive read loads of the messages on here and just want to say that half of the people on here are absolute twats who obviously dont understand depression and other psychological disorders. Some of these people are obviously crying out for help… they dont want attention, they are just struggling so much and need a release of some sort. It has angered me that some people are being so horrible in their replies… ur bloody lucky that u dont have to deal with this shit daily…its not bloody easy. So u may well sit there and think people who overdose and want to die or even just get a ‘break’ from life are stupid and attention seekers, but if u really knew what was going through their heads then u wouldnt say the things you are. These are real disorders that people are suffering from… thy arent doing it for the bloody fun of it. Lay off some of these people who obviously need help and support….
i have literally taken 25 600mg pills. the bottle is half empty
sorry, make that 30, the bottle is half full
my girlfriend had 20 tablates of paracetamol half an hour before

But Every one does things for a reason so stoping judging them cuz you don’t know nothink about there lives or who they are
I’ve been overdosing on like advil since i was in 6th grade cause some of my friends did it and my brother did it and they said it took all the pain away. my brother actually developed an allergency to advil and all ibuprophen, so when he takes it he puffs up and almost suffocates but my mom works at the hospital so he got cured before his neck got to big. But i never overdosed more than like 7-10 before but i’m really scared cause i show pretty much all of the syptoms above all the time, like litterally all of those sypmtoms i go through, its kinda freaking me out, am i going to be okay????
OMG. when i read these coments i wanted to cry for u guys and i know that life is hard and we have all went though hard times but seriosly. my sister has overdosed twice and had to be rushed into hospital and as i read ur comments i relise that u people are telling me that u have taken all these tablets because u feel self pitty, i have tryed to kill myself befor but it aint like u can have all these tablets and just die u have to do it proberly like jump of a bridge, but if u are thinking of killing urself dont because life may be hard now but it gets better and teenage depresion is a big result in suicide so dnt worrie hack it out and soon u will relise that u will have somethink to live for.

can anyone tell me how much i would have to take not to get liver damage but kill me within mins and no pain ?
Please, please do not take your life! You are worth so much! Like people have said, you may have a crappy situation now, but you will eventually get out of it, so please, please do not take your life. I know it’s tempting, I know that it seems like the right thing to do, but live with a few minutes of suffering now, or a lifetime of it in the ‘afterlife’. I am a believer in Jesus Christ, so I believe in a heaven and a hell. There is a lot of controversy as to if you go to heaven or hell with choosing suicide, but to be honest, I think you may end up in an eternity of suffering. I encourage you to find a local Church. Condemn me for my faith, go ahead, but it’s what I believe. God loves you so much, He could never love you any less. So anyone having suicidal thoughts, please, please do not go through with it. You have a life ahead of you. I am going to go right ahead and say it, but seriously, God is the greatest relief of all. I know that is not what you may want to hear, but it’s the truth. I’ll be honest with you, I’m going through a tough time in life right now, but that’s just life. No one ever said it was going to be easy. By thinking of suicide, by acting on those thoughts, you are taking the easy way out. Man up and face it. You may not feel God right now, but that’s because you let these thoughts, these dark thoughts build a wall around you and your heart. I believe in God with all of my heart, and there is no greater love than His. Suicide is a long term solution to a short term problem. God is the one to decide when we die, not you. So please, talk to someone, don’t give up. I am praying for you.
i myself want to die but in a peaceful way so an answer would really be nice.
thank you so much for your comment Some1whocares……I have been considering about doing something to myself…..yeah i have guns….but i hunt….and i am a sissy when it comes to pain so that’ll never happen…..i have taken 20 ibuprofen in the past 3-5 hrs or so….i am a 30 y/o male just lost my job, my daughter has acquired pneumonia, have no health care, got denied unemployment, gf just dumped me (whom i thought was the girl of my dreams), have no relationship with my 9 month old son (what his mother wanst) , i haven’t been to church in 2 weeks, i quit reading my bible…..i just bought a new bible and havent read hardly any of it…….i have been so depressed rt now and just want to go to sleep and not wake up………i can’t provide for my children….i know weather its cliche or not that GOD would not put us through something we could not handle but this is really all i can handle…….i am so close to a breakdown…….just pray for me please…..i dont want to go i just feel like giving up
……thank you for your concern for ppl like myself…….thank you
why the fuck would you even want to OD on non narcotics. If i were you and really wanted to die i would sell all my things and buy a lot of meth and heroine and OD on that, at least you would feel amazing before you died
and another thing it is impossible to use over the counter painkillers (advil, asprin, and tylenol) as a recreational drug they are only over the counter for that purpose buy some real drugs jesus
Uhm. Seriously? “I took (insert number here) of Advil i’m cool shit. Ok. I have a major problem with my jaw. At age 17 I was getting called a Druggie from most doctors. Got told I was a Propfol Addict. Got told I NEEDED to be put into rehab, AND a mental hospital. Let me Explain. I fell and simply Dislocated my jaw. Ok. easy fix, pop it back in and all is better. Right? no. VERY NOT RIGHT. It locked shut. The only way to unlock it was to Sedate me. And pop it back in place. A Major pain, believe me. Then I got a shot of morphine, which by definition, SUCKS. This went on almost for a year, going to the ER almost every day to get my jaw put back in place. When all I needed was a surgery to fix me. After this long period of Opiates and a lot of sedatives, oh dont forget the 3+ valium I had to take, 6 if it was a bad day (muscle spasm in the jaw from it dislocating so much). Now After being pain free for about 4 months, (sounds like no time, but when going through that crap, its forever) My jaw is starting to hurt again. Not, oh ouchie i have a boo-boo pain. Oh my god my jaw is going to pop out of place, but it can’t because I had to get my TMJ-joint bone shaved, and now its probably messed up. Which Is hell.
ANYWAYS.
you people disgust me.
“i’m super-cool, i od for fun!” “i od for attetion”
Seriously?
At the lowest part of my jaw pain induced depression I was on:
ten 5mg of valium
2-6 Percocets
[if in the er or hospitalized]:
5 morphine shots
8 valium shots
once I even got a pump for pain.
then i got called an addict.
Now I’m just taking Advil for the pain. Just trying to figure out how much damage my organs sustained while that drug party back then.
Any Ideas for doctors that I should check up for my chronic pain?
Oral Surgeons are idiots and useless.
I was thinking maybe a pain management dr.
Because I obviously am going to deal with this jaw crap for the rest of my life.
[this is majorly off topic I know but, eh i guess it all came out with Advil od crap sorry.]
And for the last month i’ve had horrible insomnia.
Any Suggestions?
Andi,
Go to a doctor that actually has some intelligence. I don’t know where you are but oral surgeons are not all idiots and if you find a good one, problem solved. I have jaw problems too, from a fall… or shall I say, face plant. Anyway, go for the surgery… it sounds like you could use it.
Adios,
Margarita
i took 5 800 milligrams ibuprofen What will happen
i took 80+ ibuprfen and 80+ paracetomole or whatever at once. and i was throwing up and couldnt eat for weeks… what longterm damage does it have?
and can that make you unable to have kids? i have heard it can but yea i would love your advice
well if u took like a 200+ mg of eaither one in that amount then you would be dead in the next houre and throwing up everywere, quit lyeing on the internet it doesnt make you any cooler it makes u sound like a dumb ass little kid (wich you probably are so shut up) you have no idea what its like having to deal with addiction.
Well i guess i should of read this 1st. i have just taken 100 200mg ibuprofen tables. i wont be throwing up. i poured some boiling water in to a glass then tipped the 100 pills in. they quickly turned to past. then i got my favoute yogart from the fridge( rasberry) added some milk to it. then poured in the 100 pill mix. i transfered it to a tall glass and over 7 small mouthfulls, after each one taking a mouth full of water. the taste was not bad at all. the milk and yogat should line my stomach pretty well. we will see what the outcome will be i guess. I have just finished writing a note to my mother. its only been 25 mins and i dont feel anything as of yet. but i will now lie in my bed and place the note on the side counter. if i am awake still in a few hours i will find some more pills to use.
thats it……………..
mathew..i cried when i read that.i hope it was a true post and not some game you thought youd take the piss with some mates one day…very sad i hope you failed if not rip
So true so true!
my dads just screamed and ledt the house i wanted to overdose before he got back as i have a faital disease already il be gone by 30,most of you need to remove your heads from your asses.if you didnt get the nicest christmas gift..that aint a reason to go of the edge i came on here to loose myself in stories as bad as it seams to make me feel better but no,i have a bunch of ignorant and mean people giving out to eachother.maybe you should think about what you say before posting because some people on this site are really at their last straw..
and just want help and some of these comments push them away and leave them to do something regretable and stupid.
Hi, Im 16 and im thinking of taking more ibuprofen than i should. (Overdose) Should i do it?? I have a lot of health issues and family problems. If someone can talk me out of it, then that will be great. But i dont have alot of time, im thinking of doing it at 3pm, when my parents and baby brothers leave. HURRY!!
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never mind, its to soon to die. My baby brothers need me!! so thanks anyway!! =]
just reading this site and too many people on it need help and stuff if you want to overdose then go ahead dont brag about it and say stuff its wrong … also does anyone know how much ibuprofen you can take just to sleep little ? jw thanks
I weep for our country
Now I am not telling any stories and that i promise.. The night b4 i turned myself into the sheriffs dept i took over 50 ibprofen, 50 benedryl, and over 30 dramamine i was very suicidal i will admit that and i am still here why i just can’t really figure out. I was very immature that is true i do deserve to be ridiculed about that… I have grown up alot tho but back to the point all it did to me was make me feel really funny i felt like i was just really drunk that’s it, but i still woke up in the morning with my alarm clock it just made me sleep really well and it made it where i was on suicide watch for 5 days. I was very stupid and i have grown up alot since then… But these people just trying to do it to get high or “trip balls” are stupid cuz it could hurt you it thins out your blood and if you get the smallest little cut you could bleed to death….. Learn from my biggest mistake don’t even try it go get professional help…
I can’t say I know a huge deal about this, but my friends who are going on to study mediceine were told by a lecture that an overdose could take up to 7 months to kill you via liver failure. If you don’t get to a hospital within 2 hours of the overdose there is not much they can do.
The amount needed to kill you, I am told, is between twenty and fifty, depending on the person of course. I know someone who took 32 pills and noone found out about it until the day after. There have been no noticeable side effects but it’s only been a few days. The doctors said there wasn’t much they could really do and are focusing on her mental health.
It depends on the pills and the amount in each pill and the person. I have heard of people overdosing quite severly and it having no effect on them so some of the outragous stories people have posted on here may well be true.It’s possible it went straight through their system, or perhaps the effects are unnoticeable at the moment.
Sorry I realised there’s a typo. I meant to put “medicine” rather than “mediceine”.
a lot of you people seem to be confused. 400mg/kg isnt 400MG its 400 MG PER KG. its according to your weight. so if youre lets say maybe 110 pounds, thats about 50 kg. so youd need to take 400 mg of ibu. for ever kg (400×50) thats 20,000mg, which is 100 of the 200mg pills. so if you’re 110 pounds youd need to take about 100 before there is any serious effects of overdose. not if you take 400mg. which is nothing. doctors prescribe 800mg pills to take 2-3 times a day all the time for pain, so chill out everybody if you’ve taken less than 100+. youll get a headache, stomachache and vomit.
ive personlly have tried to OD on ibu. I KNOW ITS STUPID but i took close to 120. i didnt go to the doctor and i didnt die, however a good couple of hours afterwards i started to vomit, the kind of vomit that burns when it comes up, and let me tell you it was the most awful horrific experience of my life. just thinking about it im starting to get that awful taste in my mouth.
dont be so worried if youve taken less than 2400-3200mg. doctors prescribe that amount for pain, so if not prescribed to you for such pain youll get a headache and stomache etc but its nothing serious. the overdose amount (400mg/kg) was provided. stop giving us your weight and age and amount and having a panic attack. do the damn math yourself.
not to mention, (im not saying YOU WONT DIE, there are exceptions) you more than likely will not die from ibuprofen overdose. what it does is liver and kidney damage which means it would take months of abuse (taking more than 400mg/kg daily). and if you are serious about suicide this is less than ideal. it is months of pain and agony if you do this seriously because the way it will kill you is by shutting down organs one by one. it might even take years before you croak. and in the mean time not only are you dealing with pain from liver/kidney damage (which might even take a year+ of abuse to become major) there is always stinking, painful vomitting, abdomal pain, awful headaches, etc.
im not trying to be insensitive to anyone suicidal or talk anyone into killing themselves but if that’s what you’re going for, ibuprofen is far from what you want. tylenol however, is a bit stronger and more serious, so maybe you should find a forum for that (idk facts on tylenol, just ibuprofen). also if you WANT to die then why would you be concerned with numbers. take as many as there are available if you really do want to die. also if you really do want to die why use pills where the effects take hours, if they happen at all, and you spend those hours with a headache/stomachache? why not do something quicker? or something more definite? because why bother chancing suicide with pills when you MAY not even die when there are many alternative methods of suicide that work 100% of the time, or at least are more certain than pills.
im not saying that anyone should commit suicide however. but if you are truly truly set on it, what are you doing on this page?
Everybody needs to stop bragging on this comment list cos not only is it starting to get really fukin boring. It’s not goof for your health and you could possibly give younger people the wrong idea! I came on this website for help and I found lots of it so thanks to those people who have been helpful but all those saying “I took 100″ and “I took 200″ n all that shit. Save it for somewhere you CAN brag and for people who care. This is a help site not a fukin high school common room. GROW UP and help people who need it. If u phoned the paramedics and said ” ooh I’ve just taken 150 ibupofens, what will happen to me?!” and they replied ” I’ve taken 200 and I’m still here” not much fukin help is it when your shitin urself…
Okay. This is serious. I took 28 Ibu last night and another 28 this morning. I know im an idiot for doing so because all i feel now is chest pains and stomach ace and some confusion. Should i go and get my stomach pumped or not,…
ok and i was worrying slightly as i was accidentally overdosing (and by overdosing i literally just taking above the directed dose..) i’ve been taking 2 600mg tablets every 4 hours or so and ive been getting chest and some stomach pain for a couple of days, i came on here to check out what the dose was etc… but it appears people have survived worse so im sure i’ll be fine… though i seriously doubt what some people are claiming.
drugs are good!
i took 5 ibruprofen tablets yesterday in one go.. is that dangerous??
Seriously guys, grow up. Learn English. There’s better ways of getting attention than overdosing.
i just took 20 200mg ibuprofens for a huge migrane… i feel sick. :S i wanna throw up :S i feeel light headed/….
i hope i dont overdose is 20 that much?
can i die?
should i go to the doctor?
:S should i throw up ?
Hi my friend took 12 co-codamol tablets in one go… nothing much has happened to her… and she wants to take more because she is eager to die?! how many co-codamol tablets would kill her or make her very ill in one go? im really scared and i dont know what to do for her.. her parents who were her life have split up and she has split up with her boyfriend who she is completely in love with. Now she’s realised, she wants him back and he doesnt know.. she is screwed up now.. big time in the head and she cant find a way out of anything… :/ someone help.
honestly, I’ve tried to die plenty of times.. i recently just got out of a mental institution for attempts of suicde, cutting, and depression, and i’m only 13. I may be young, but the best advice i can honestly give on here, to anyone who wants to commit suicide, is that IT’S NOT WORTH IT. honestly, it’s not. I’ve been to the institution twice.. It’s not something I’m proud of either, but I can’t take it back. But I can and have learned from it. And Georgia, tell her parents, tell SOMEONE. she needs to be helped, even if it means her going to an institution or something, this stuff IS SERIOUS. I’ve learned and been through SO much in my short 13 years of living. From abuse, to depression, to attempts of suicide, to drinking away my problems. please tell someone about your friend, that’s all the advice i can give you.
this shit is seriously fucked up. taking a lot of drugs is not something to brag about. get some help ppl
please dont die….just keep your head up and let jesus take the wheel! and trust me everything will be better!
why let some one run your life god wont change anything only you can …….. sorry for saying god its just a three letter word not even 4
dont say that! you shuld try to help pple that needs help!

I started reading comments on here hours ago knowing ibp would kill me but just wanted more info. After reading a lot of comments a can tell that a lot of the people on here really dont feel the way i do everyday.
I am 23 yrs old now and have been depressed since i was in 7th grade. I cut my arms and chest all the time..not for people to notice ive been doing it for years but for a release( dont take this as advice just need to type right now cause i do want to die and i have a gun next to my labtop and i just need to talk ). The first time i tried killing myself my roommate cut the rope and the next day i moved out. The second time the rope broke and i fell and broke my arm…
Its not that i want to kill myself but i am always depressed and i know suicide is not the answer but i get so down.. so down that i cant even speak to people so down that i have lost jobs because people dont understand how i feel. Friends see me and think im fine.. im healthy, good looking(u can disagree), and am kind hearted and make friends easyly..but thats not the problem..i see that i have things to look forward too but everyday i live in my own little hell i just dont find joy in life and i just cant find a way to not feel this way..feeling this way sucks and its a hard way to live and people that dont feel this way just cant understand ( my friends dont when i try to explain nor did my work ).. i cant live this way forever
for the young kids on here taking to much ibp will just fuck up ur organs nothing more.
3 days ago the center of my world and the love of my life, my 15 year old son purposely took 50000mg acetaminophen (that’s right 100 tablets of 500mg each) and he did this to try and end his life. He is currently in the hospital alive and breathing, it was too late for charcoal and there was nothing that the hospital could do it was just a lucky thing that someone was home to hear him vomiting and seizing while he slept in time enough to call an ambulance. Now that my son is coherent enough and still in the hospital he is working on his mental issues but the medical side affects and damage that has been done to his organs are not yet known I have come home to shower and change my clothes while my son goes for more medical tests and I decided to try and research some of what has been going on and came across this forum. I have read every single entry and I am now sitting here crying for all of you. I can not believe that more than half the young people who have their whole lives ahead of you take drugs like this to get high. Statements like “I’ll try that next time too get high” have made me vomit literally. Do none of you know? Do you not know how many people love you? How many people care about you? How many people would give their lives so that you could live? During my time in the critical care unit at the hospital I prayed to a god that I’m not sure even exists to take my life instead of my sons. Please just take mine and make him OK, please god, please god. I don’t even know where to begin to explain how my heart hurts, how my head hurts and how sore my entire body is just from the sheer fact of thinking that I may loose my son, the one thing that keeps me going every day, the only thing that matters to me. There are people who love you more than they love themselves and depression can make you feel different, this is a curable mental disorder and please, please, please believe me that it will get better and your thinking this way will change please get the help, love and attention that you need to get better, ending your life is not the answer please see life as the precious gift that it is and that it won’t be this way forever, it will get better that there are so many things in this world to live for and be happy about your family and your friends will be there for you trust me, all you need to do is talk to the people you love and trust to get started on the right track, if you don’t talk to them they will never know that you are thinking and feeling badly about your life and your problems NO PROBLEM, NO RELATIONSHIP, NO MONEY ISSUE NOTHING WHAT SO EVER IS WORTH THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT YOU HAVE AND OWN…YOUR LIFE. Love Always..Hurting Mom

all you people are fucking nuts…
Hello
My name is ariel nunez. Tonight (April 4-5, 2010) I took well over 30000mg of ibuprofen, I now await my death
goodluck.
yeah… i tried that. 32000mg bottle of ny quill and a bottle rubetusen. woke up with the worst head/stomach ache ever. someone found me and took me to the hospital. take it from someone who knows, the shit aint worth it. i dont know your problems and honestly i dont care. i am almost completely sure i had it worse. im a grunt in the USMC, my girlfriend of two years had recently died in a car crash. i have a new life motto that keeps my head up, “it could be worse” my advise call a doc get some help and set up a meeting with a phych. take it or leave it, either way cant say i didnt try
I’ve been reading all of these comments…
why do so many people want to die?
its selfish, my father hung himself and guess what, its fucking shit.
just stop, stop being cowards. sort your lives out.
Hey, I’m 13 and have overdosed 4 times before. The first time on sleeping pills, it didnt really do anything. The second on some acid stuff and then the last two times was paracetimal. I know that its wrong and selfish on my family. But nobody understands what i’m feeling. My mum sent my to a shrink once but it didnt help. Everybody thinks im fine now. But i think i might try again tonight. Then when my mum finally comes home she will just find me dead in my bed. I only wish i was never born and that i won’t have to put my little sister through any pain when i’m gone. What will be painless and quick? Because paracetimal just makes me realy ill. My best friend died a few weeks ago. Now no-one understands. Ive got morphine, will that work?
WOW…
this is dark stuff–suicide?
I just wanted to know if I might be taking too much to deal with recurring headaches/back pain!
…also, this is a VERY poorly written article.
No point in trying, cuz you might not die. *sigh* Fine.
Like ok wtf. Honestly…I believe I read about someone taking 200 and some odd pills. That’s just a tad hard to believe. Don’t really have a reason to think so cause hey who am I to say its not true but I will say this. If it is true……you have a terrible liver or will in time have a terrible liver. That’s just way too many. And suicide yes is selfish don’t even think about that shit! One of my family members committed suicide and it hurt everyone. There are a lot of people going through worse things in the world and they still strive to live…through hunger, death of loved ones, not being able to feed, clothe, or support their families, addictions….even retarded people like living. Let that be a fucking lesson to all you little ones thinking suicide is the answer. PLUS just throwing this out there. NOT SUPPORTING SUICIDE IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM buuuut to you stupid fucks…talking pills to kill yourself is nothing short of stupid. If it does work its going to be a very miserable way to go. Very painful to say the least. Don’t sit on a site talkin like yeah I took 200 pills to kill myself….go out and find a gun or something and sit in your closet …stop and think about it and if you reeeally want it done that bad you’ll do it right and blow your brains out. Just because a few of you are just..ugh lacking thinking skills I should tell you there is a chance you’d live through it though. Annnywho I say you should choose to live. As I said there are people with worse stuff goin on in their life and suicide is not an option to them. I will say……it does weed out SOME of the less intelligent ones.
Yesterday, while on my ambulance ridealong, we were dispatched to a girl that took 32,000mg of ibu. We transported her (while she continuously threw up in the back of the rig) but other than a bit of an altered mental status, her vitals were all normal. I was freaking amazed. But, of course, she needed to see a doc ASAP anyway.
It’s strange listening to someone say “It’s okay if I die.”
Even as a complete stranger, I didn’t want this person to die. She was what… 21? Life always has potential, especially at that ripe age. I must admit, her family members didn’t look very concerned when we picked her up. I don’t want to make too many assumptions, but damn… it’s a horrible thing when your own family members don’t seem to care. I think they might’ve thought she was faking.
Healthcare workers don’t just save your life because they don’t want you to die in their care so they can cover their own ass (well, some do), but because we appreciate the delicate balance of life. It’s no joke. If you’re alive right now, you’re a lucky son of a bitch. Even if your life is completely crap, life is rare. So much shit has to fall into place right for you to just exist.
im going to try that
My cousin died earlier, And I admit I want to die myself, I was looking for ways to just end it all, Like OD, I tried last time I think I only took like 10 paracetomol and I had the worst illness ever the next day, it was fucking horrible, but fuck it, no-ones cares in the long run and when you go sleep u aint ever gonna (hopefully) wake up, then thats it, your gone with the faries, you aitn ever gonna kno your dead anyway coz theres nothing on the other side, once your dead your dead, i dont beileve in fucking god or anything at all like that, I’m gonna go tesco and see how many sleeping pills i can buy without arousing suspicion, i could’nt give a fuck if it’s selfish or wrong, I just feel so broke and insignifican’t right now, its a horrible feeling, and the only way to stop feeling like this is just go sleep forever
You really can not stop your pain by committing suicide.
Death is not the end, it is just like stepping through a door.
Your life is full of second chances. Some chances sadly don’t come a second time,
others are in their millions. It’s not wrong to feel sorry for a lost chance.
Every breath you breathe is a new chance.
We live in a society where we are taught to believe we have a right to and deserve to be happy, fulfilled, stimulated and pleasured every moment of the day and that if we’re not then it’s our fault.
There’s something wrong with us.
We are offered plastic junk
and sugary foods
and belly laughs
and unlimited free file sharing downloads
and pleasures of all kinds that are empty and soul destroying
because they are often based on enjoying selfishness, greed and everything else that is wrong.
That’s a source of emptiness.
It is alright not to be happy all the time.
It’s actually impossible to appreciate happiness without suffering because you can’t gauge it.
Life is suffering with little bits of happiness thrown in here and there and offered at every corner to see what kind of person you are.
It’s not wrong to care.
Suicidal?
Like Nirvana?
I guarantee you Kurt Cobain now wishes every moment that he’d not taken his own life.
How many problems has suicide cured?
It didn’t get us anymore Nirvana albums.
Do you know that Hell is real and suicide will take you there forever?
There are no second chances there.
Don’t take the risk even if you don’t believe because it really is true.
Be certain.
Explore the options.
Take a chance.
Ask God, even if you don’t believe there is a God to show you the truth before you act. He will show you the truth if you really want to know because he doesn’t want you or anyone to there.
Hell is a place where agonising pain ever increases forever
and what ever pain there was in this life
will be something you will remember
like it was a pleasure and that you wish you could enjoy again.
That is meant to scare you.
Jesus was prepared to experience death to save you from it,
and Jesus is God made into human form and born into this world for the express purpose of dying on a cross to bear the punishment for our evil thoughts and deeds just so that he could save you from it,
so imagine how incredibly awful a place it must be.
Another further warning about Hell, the horrible place that he died to save you from;
it is the place of eternal pain and shame
from which there is no release,
ever.
Please believe me, if you reject this gift of life
and the chances that God is giving you with every breath you possess to say you believe in Jesus and that he died in your place and rose again to save you through that belief in God’s kindness, you will end up seperated from God forever, being eternally punished, missing out on unbounded and ever increasing joy,
living in an indestructable and unkillable new and perfect body that can fly, transport to anywhere at will and pass through walls,
living happily forever in a magnificent golden city on a beautiful new earth where yes you can ride a giraffe or hug a lion and all of the animals can talk with you, enjoying a beautiful new universe where you will see the face of God who is perfect, who is the most beautiful being in the universe and who will live with you and be your father in Heaven and on this new earth forever.
There will never again be crying, or pain or sickness or death because these things will have passed away forever never to return ever again with God’s promise on that.
It’s that or even worse pain forever in complete darkness.
Please don’t go to Hell.
I beg you, in Jesus name,
Don’t commit suicide.
Yesterday I took 50 (200mg) Celebrex didn’t do anything yet. Today I took 40 times 200mg of crhomium still ok. Whats next for me?
Knee exercises. You fall on both of them and ask God for forgiveness and redirection. He will never refuse you.
Hi Everyone,
So I feel the need to address these `story telling` kids on here as I am a registered and active-in-the-field paramedic and feel that the things some of you have said are completely ridiculous and frankly, very inaccurate. Taking 10 IBP will not kill you, it may make you sick for a while, and paramedics may want to pump your stomach to avoid any possible liver damage, but that is it. As for 40, 60, 80, etc, there is NO WAY you took those without any side effects, so don`t even try to pretend that that is true. I have seen MANY overdoses and suicides in my time of being a paramedic and I am telling you, that this it is very wrong to come on here and say that you have mixed that many IBP`s with other medications, or even that you have taken that many by themselves and been okay. It`s inaccurate B.S and I will not stand for it at all. If you come on here and talk about your èxperience`with mixing that many with other things and having it be a `trip`, do you honestly think that`s a good idea? Look at how many kids and young adults die from inhalant abuse each year, all because they wanted ‘a trip’. Honestly, you people are what keeps me in business and for that I am very sad at the fact that you feel that’s okay. Because it’s not. At all.
Hi ashleigh need your help, what can my girl do if she took 16 tablets 200mg each, what can we do as first aid, ive read some of the stuff like charcoal and other stuff, but we dont have those at home, what is a good alternative first aid for that, please thank you
My girl tried to do it today, she took 16 tablet 200mg each, and now i dont know what to do, she said it has no effect on her yet

this song was written against addiction
Outside – staind
haha ive taken 10 1200 mg at one time and im 14 and it got weired haha, great when u wanna go on a field trip at school haha
Hey Everyone!
Stumbled upon this site, as I was looking to see if an ibu overdose could/would kill someone. My 15 yr old daughter has a friend who supposedly took 100 of them last night. Not sure of the mg, yet. But she ended up being transferred to a hospital nearly 3 hours away because of it. It is sad to see how kids are feeling today. All of this drama on our side was over a boy. How stupid is that? But I am kind of glad to have found this site. Some of it is seems alittle exaggerated, but some of it really makes sense.
Hope all of you who need help actually get up off your butts to find it.
Im 18 and last night i took 20 odd propranalol which is a which is like Tylenol and a few 500mg acid tablets n if i had more then would have done more. how wrong s that !
Today ve jut had a bad cough and the runs :\ not fun at all
think a trip to the docs for some counciling is in need ay
I feel like complete shit which lead me to take 19 ibuprofen. I did the math, and it’s like 3800 mg. After reading all this, I don’t know if I should have taken it. It’s not the first time I’ve taken a bunch of ibuprofen at once but I’m still kind of iffy about it now. I just want a hug. =(
You are loved,you are cared for.
Dont do this,i just got done crying over a friend who is overdosing.
I hurts the people around like hell,possibly causing them to do the same thing.
Think about it before doing it.
You are Loved,you are still living for a reason
My friend did it 2 weeks ago and i was so cross with him,
i didnt understand why he did it and it hurt so bad
But now i see how easy it is
at the time it makes so much sence to just do it, so i did but failed
My first attempt last night I tried 10 pills of Tylenol (500mg/each). This happened around 2:30AM. I was knocked out within 30min and when I woke up it was 10AM. So far I have not feel any pain or any danger I should say. Too much stress going through my mind and I can’t take it any more… Life isn’t as easy as it should be. It is definitely not a happy place to be.
Reading through the comments on this site made me wonder… If I die no one would know. I just think of it as making space for the new comers. Maybe I’ll do another attempt, it’s killing me inside and I honestly don’t know what else to do. I believe seeking for help doesn’t really do much….
its the worst feeling ever and it doesnt leave and once youve tried and failed it grows
my first attempt was friday night, and i read these comments and feel like sucha hypocrict because i think no ! what are you doing ?
when im doing it myself :\
do you need to talk?
I don’t understand why someone would throw a relationship away after being together for so many years. Even if we argued many many times, there’s never good enough reason to surrender. If you truly love someone no matter how much argument and struggle you go through, it’s never right to give up. By doing so… I feel that all them years I accomplish and build has gone to waste. Why even bother to live right? I don’t know any more (these words make me want to disappear for good).
It sucks it really does, the only thing you can hope for is that it will get better in time which i know is so tedious
i felt like that a few years ago and im over it now but more shit has happend that makes me just snap and do silly thing like try top myself, and i wish i had some one to talk to but i dont and i cant i feel shamefull :\
is there no way of getting them back ?
if you really think about it do you want them back? the fact that by leaving you makes you want to do this gives them alot of power over you and they dont even know about it
have you told them ?
Suicide is an intresting topic. When does it become morally correct?
I mean, the whole mentality of “Its my life, i can take it if I want” is alright, i guess, but think about it. How many people are you affecting by killing yourself? Your family your friends anyone whos close to you…
and thats without the various religions that belive that suicide condemns you to some form of hell or some shit. The basis of the whole situation Is fear. Fear of death keeps most unhappy people from suicide. Fear of being ignored and forgottan or just dissapearing completely spurrs most to “attempt suicide” when they know exactly what will kill them and what wont. But true suicidals….what provokes them? Most suicidals wont get the chance to tell you. Alot of suicidals are people who seem to be perfectly fine, and no one thinks to ask. Or some one asks if anythings wrong and the person usees the popular phrase “Im fine”. Im not pretending to know anything, hell im only 15, im just trying to make some sense out of peoples various actions.
I know how the attenmpters feel, i dissapeared for a sum of 7 years behind the shadow of my perfect brother. My parents refuse to get me diagnosed with depression and my x girlfriend is expecting a child. My parents have told me that if i ever get anyone pregnant they’ll kick me out of the house and i have no where to go. I have to take care of the child and cannot get a job.
I came to this site looking for a way out but instead found reason to live. Thank you
By the way, i apologize for my bad spelling, i just woke up.
I took 80 or more of them..200mg each. Do the math..its 16000 each.
I spent the night in the hospital on an IV.
No fun guys..dont do it. o_o
i just took 3 painkillers and 3 Ibuprofen at once. wwhat will happen?
im 14 and ive taken 25 advil and 10 ibuprofen because i was stupid i was high when i did i say dont its not good for you i realized and dont touch anything anymore im falling into a depression tho because my girlfriends mom and my family im being edged onto thinking again what ever you people do dont its a mistake
Im currently serving in iraq. I have a serious case of depression. My wife is leaving me and taking my 4 month old daughter and there is nothing i can do. Ive contemplated suicide many times. Thought of how it would affect others and still i feel driven towards it. I need to end the pain. I want to do it quietly.
serving what dinner . . . . your in the army you help many people out , think of it
i have 41 800mg Ibuprofen. I think that will do the trick
I wish I had the same opportunity, surely a bullet to the head would be fast effective painless and sure. A bunch of Ibu is only a maybe.
this is a fucked up website, everyone’s arguing about there different views on suicide.. i came on here for help.. not lecture about how suicide is pathetic and shit. Whys everyone comparing there problems? people deal with stuff differently, there’s strong people and not so strong people.
hahaha i know eh all i wanted to do on this site was see if ibbuprofen helps with steroid injection soreness in the hamstring and all i’m reading about is worthless emo kids and how they wanna kill them selves
Well about a week ago I took exacly 97 ibuprofen Pill this was like all in 35 hours I took 9,23,25 and 40 this is no lie its been past a week and all I’ve experienced is dizzyness I havent told anyone and yes this was a suicide attempt do the effects kick in quick? what Should I honestly do I honestly feel fine but I’m worried if the side effects of an overdose are long term please help
I took 41 800mg ibuprofen, 30 naproxen and 4 tramadols…it didnt work….im one of those not so strong people katie….but im determined to end the pain..im just gonna do it quick and use a gun…all the drugs are doing is making it worse because i cant even do suicide without fuckin it up.

haha good luck with that one i’m just here to laff at the emos, im a personal trainer i dont need any help with my body thank you very much , i just like laffin at people who seriously dont get life cause its ezier then what people think , and its funny that people will litterally read these and get so pissed off at people like me , and say i need help ? i just wanted to take ibuprofin because injecting roids fuckin hurts in the legs and wanted to know what aas and anabolics do when you pop ibuprofin if it messes with insulin , thyroid , test problems , kidney and or liver failure and all i’m reading about is people who wanna commit suicide , kill there livers, and not film it with a high deff camera , btw now i have something to do before i go to bed making fun of people and its fun because people are such attention whores now and days that they want people pittying them because there life sucks . . . . those people out there complaining there life sucks should go live in a 3rd world country and really see how much we get and should be proud of but theres spoiled brats out there that take pain killers to kill them selves when there people who have blown off legs that cant even afford painkillers sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …….. you f off you stupid queer get a life and think of life you stupid advil cranker
Okay, to Josh above me. Shut the fuck up! Go get some pharmaceuticals. Don’t get fucking addicted, get alprozam, zoloft, prozac, or valium and chill the fuck out. Go out be active, meet people, socialize and you will become more confident and get over your teenage suicide attempt. Enough said. However, this information tells me that above 400mg can be dangerous and considered overdose. I’m not here to argue but very curious. Because I’ve taken prescribed Ibuprofen when I was ill. The tablet each was 800MG and it was for me to take 1 tablet four times daily for several days. So I am not exactly quite sure how this information can be right. I have been fine for over many years. I doubt I have any liver problems unless it’s from other APAP medication and alcohol. If anyone can answer this question, please feel free to let me know.
i agree with paul 99 % except invest in WEED its better then pills
I have taken 64 paracetamol (500mg each), 17 nurofen (500mg each) and 20 Ibuprofen (200mg each) in the last two days. I have also been cutting all over my wrists and body. Do I need to see someone?
you must be blonde?
I’m not blonde.
yes. please do. it is very important.
wow dudes way to kill your liver you guys should invest in anadrol (oxymethalone) pump a hole bottle in your stomach go to the gym and at least get bigger before you pull a suicide on your bodies . . . . . fuckin retards you suicide junkies need to go to emo street and get some self asteem , inject some sustanon 250 to a hole bottle fuckin ad crankers
people who are emo should crank some weight at the gym its the best pain reliver ever !!!!! quit crankin advil fuckin loonies
Oi, I’m an emo and I’m one of the strongest girls on my football team, so don’t go dissing all of emos at the same time, we aint all the same you mo fo!
I just stumbled across this sight, looking for an efficient but painless way to take my life. After spending time reading these posts, I begin to question myself whether I’m really looking for a reason to live. I’m not going to talk about my situation here because it just seems it would give some people ammunition to throw back at me………..not going to help me is it. These posts also stop me from seeking help…………..as I now wonder where I find it, especially after reading some of the crap from people who appear to enjoy critisizing those of us who might need some help getting our minds away from darkness.
I am especially disappointed with the frequent comments from Dr “I’m better than everyone else” D. If I went to see a counsellor like Dr D, I’m sure my decision to opt out of life would be cemented by the time I left her office.
hey
please don’t believe that this doctor d is really a councellor…. he’s a pile of shitt made ur by someone with nothing better to do than make fun of us… people who are lopking for something..
i spent a couple of years craving help and a couple of months ago i got the courage to see a coucellor and i reall believe that it was the best decision of my life.
i would love to help you…. so email me…. frasme at millfieldschool.com i couldn’t do the at signe. and never let anyone tell you not to get help. you can’t do this on your own … trust me.
and if anyone else whants to email me then please do. i am a good listener.
live, if not for your self then for thos people around you. there is at least one person who cares about you. if you can’t think of anyone then believe me when i say… i care.!!
i have taked 2000 mg today will i be ok
only if you pass english 12
My best friend took 10 tablets altogether, i’m not sure what mass they were, but do you think 10 is dangerous, i’m really worried, she said she actually took them to try and commit suicide.
nothing would happen….. usually… depends if it was the first time.
if you read this now then its too late to take her to hospital but go to the doctors so they can check for any damage.
hope your ok
meg
I regularly take 5-10 and nothing has ever happened, shit sometimes it doesn’t even fully get rid of my headaches. To think someone would for sure die taking 20-40 isn’t realistic. I’m a firm believer of taking multiples of the suggested dosages and you would be surprised what the body can handle. Maybe I just have a really bad ass liver.
be a body builder shoot some liquid methandrolestenalone and see how you liver reacts to 50 mg of that
i do exactly the same thing…. if the pack says take 2 i take at least 6 usually a lot more and so far all thats ever happend is i fall asleep or get stomach ache….. and seriously i took like 10 paracetamols and 6 ibuprofens and i still have a headache…. whats up with that??? unfortunately i have now run out of pills so no more for today
if the emos kill them self can u film it? or like try 2000 pound shoulder shrugs and watch ur shoulders explode
also make sure ur camera is HD
i have been told to take antidepressants… i was wondering are they worth taking. i have dojne some research and they sound like they make everything worse… is that true.
i just whant to be me again, like i was before i became a self harming and depressed idiot….
thanks for any tips..
Actually, antidepressants make you feel kinda woozy at first, but they really helped me out in the long run. Since I’ve been off my meds, I’ve felt lonely, depressed, and all sorts of things at the same time. I don’t even know if I’m sane or not anymore. To be honest, I came here to see how many pills would kill me so I could get this all over with. Just take the medicine. Prozac is the one with the least side effects and it works. Just go to a shrink for like 5 minutes and get it. You’ll like life a lot more than you do now apparently. ^_^ Don’t be 16 and sad over nothing like me, kay?
i’m 24 and male. i have been on antidepressants for about 5 months now and have made lots of steps forward. i tried to od on painkillers about a year ago. but fucked it up. and tried again yesterday. doubled my dose. started at work with 6 nurofen plus in the morning, then 6 more at lunch. then 6 more at 4, i was tripping then. on me way home i bought some more. set my self up in my room with some chips vodka, white wine, red wine, and a bucket. washed down about 30 tabs and watched a movie. thought i felt my heart beat ridiculously fast then stop. then i passed out. thought i did it right. but as i sit here writing this obliviously not. just spent all day throwing up this god awful brown spew. fingers crossed for next time eh.
Hey Well If You Smoked Weed And Took Like 10 What will that do ? i just did em right now ahah
So kinda off subject about the whole suicide and partying subjects….
I recently had my wisdom teeth removed, they were impacted and they did all four at the same time. Well the dentist gave me loratab for painkillers… come to find out I’m allergic to loratab- vomitted for a day straight. Anyway, I started taking ibuprofen a couple days later. Taking about 800 milligrams at a time. Well, I ended up taking 1600 milligrams after one day of being really sore. The next day I was very nauseous, stomach ache, dizzy, diahrrea, etc- the day after that I had black stool, but felt fine otherwise. I’m assuming this is a symptom of stomach bleeding? Obviously there’s nothing life threatening going on right now, but is it worth going in to the ol doc for a check up? Anything long term that might do me some harm? I’m not in it to hurt myself- tryin to keep me healthy! Thanks.
i think u shuld tell the doctors!! itl help alot more then asking us.
I have a 14 mo old lil girl. She is into everything. I keep everything locked and secured away from her. Although she got into my purse where I keep tylenol and ibuprofen for headaches, cramps, ect. I heard her going threw my purse didn’t think anything of it. Until I came across her with the red/brown tint all over her face. I am concerned. Will one ibuprofen hurt a lil girl so young?
my family hates me and i got upset so i took 6 ibeuprofens and now i want to die
6 200mg pills of ibuprofen isn’t enough, just to let you know.
Why are you even telling her that? you idiot!
cant you see shes called Depressed which actually means shes depressed! hope she used a false email like everyone else on this board so she doesnt get your reply! anon you big idiot!
i think i will forget this way of wanting to die, it causes stinking and in the lists of stinking i see diarrhea, so fuck that!
i guess paracetamol is my only other friend
Dr. D = Dr. Douchebag.
Must be an online college handing out her Ph.D.
I use to value my MBA. obviously education means nothing.
LOL
Wow, I found myself sucked into this forum and reading it for about an hour. All I can say is that this really puts into perspective what life means to some people, and perhaps myself. I am very impressed with what younger people (13ish) really know about life. Some of these bloggers know more than someone in their midlife, imo. Idk…crazy… I also came to this blog to see what taking 7 ibuprofen would do…. but now that I’ve seen some ppl have taken 290+ with no effects…I don’t know what to say.
Good luck with your life, may you choose to live it or not. It’s your decision, just make the right decision – and only you know what the right decision is.
I have been depressed for several months and I have thought of overdosing. I’ve been to scared to do anything major. I’ve taken 2 advils and a melotonin and all that happened was I got a minor stomache ache almost immediatly. Reading this has changed my mind. I have considered suicide but the thought of my friend stopped me.
Good for you
i mainly think people OD on tablets/pills is becuse it is easier than sticking a big knife in themselfs or cutting off their head with a massive axe.
you know what i mean self inflicted wounds and bla bla bla!
although the pain is much worse when overdosing, it is a very painful death you would most likley be glad when you finally pass away after all the pain you get.
i already have a little cramp for eating the wrong type of food, and that makes me want to shit myself like crazy, actually SHIT MYSELF! like the diarrhea type.
i might aswell take a big pack of Ibuprofen and shove it down my throat! but then i would have constant Diarrhea…
EVERYONE ON THIS BOARD PLEASE DO NOT OVERDOSE ON IBUPROFEN
YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WARNED!
IT CAUSES DIARRHEA!! AND HORRIFIC PAINS
actually overdosing on anything causes pain… and death causes pain in general.
and to make things clear dont OD on anything, and stop thinking about suicidal thoughts!!!!
hi everyone..i am 21 years old I have two little girls who i love to bits, but i am and have suffered from depression since i was 11 from years of sexual,phyisical and emotional abuse at the hand of someone who was suppossed to love me…. The father of my two kids who i was in relationship for 5 years abused me physically as well..I left him a year ago and started seeing someone else who i recently got pregnant by and we decided to have an abortion which I was fine with until yesterday and it was done… I have now sank into a deeper depression than ever before
I am worried as i have started to have suicidal thought’s since this morning and nothing has helped me get out of this mind frame. I need help I have reached out to my mother and brother but they have dismissed it and said ill be fine and only by text. the father of the baby i just murdered is off out getting drunk mainly cause i told him i was ok but now I have no one and am feeling like i dont deserve anything what should i do i am scared and alone??? i dont ant to die I just want this pain to stop as it is immense
Hello all,
You know after reading a shit load of all the comments on here i find it funny well not funny but interesting that people go on a site to get help for there problems and talk to people they’ve never met! Just to vent… strange i believe. There are so many people in everyones community that can help you, so many “outreach” programs to help people with problems, yet the best way you people find to express your needs, desires and wants is to post it on a website? I also have depression, so I on some messed up level get it. But this is not a plea for help, this is…. an observation. Only reason why i have depression is for 1 simple reason. I hate people, Humans, whatever, your all are pethetic being consumed by what the society labeled as the “norm”. Sheep if you will, Politics, religon, social groups, work ethics/responsibilites, every single person wants to make change but you all have FEAR! Stop being afraid and be unquie! My point being I’m the person who says whats on everyone mind, I’m the one who breaks free and i feel so sorry for every single one of you falling into all of what i have said and everything i have missed out.
My sympathies
Bjorn
i have been hating people for awhile now i its not because their fear to to be unquie but of how they take advantage of people i knmow there are people that are reading this and saying not everyone is like that, im not like that but if you think in your life can you honestly say you have never benifeted from others mistakes that you havent stolen to get what you wanted. i know people in my own family that have stolen from my great grandparents just for drugs and in every family there is always going to be someone that is going to seal and once they get caught they are going to snich on the person that was with them just to get a little off their punisment. the people of this world are sick and it makes me sick just to thimk about it i make myself sick because i have done it to people are creatures that are not needed and would have better left not made
I am a type 1 diabetic and i have 4000 mg of Brufen sitting in front of me. I have jsut lost my life in 2 words ITS OVER and that its i dont know why im typing here coz no one can help me but to all you people out there who have loved and lost dont give up coz thats the easy way out. Dont give up on love guys you find it and it can be so easily taken from you. The world is a beautiful place dont take it for granted
Fuck suicide!! Look, if you wanna die, give me all the money in your pockets and I’ll kill ya. I mean, shit, if thats what ya really want. But….I’d like for all of you people with suicidal thoughts to try something out before you make a decision. Try NOT GIVING A MOTHAFUCK!!!. If it makes you sad, fuck it, if it hurts you, fuck it, if someone makes you feel like shit, fuck em!
Find a happy place in your life and live in that bitch, cause life isn’t really that hard when you don’t really give a dam. And remember, the only thing worse than thinking about suicide, is doing it…
P.S.
I’ll kill ya bitch..
P.P.S
just kiddin.
P.P.P.S.
but I will..
lmao
look, i’m 13 and i have NO idea what’s going on with me. All i know is that i truly & honestly want too die.
I was sexually abused for five year’s by my cousin . Then again by tow guy’s who i thought i could trust & they got my pregnate.
I really wish i could’ve had them but how? i”m sooo young.
That’s what’s made me feel worse than anything so far.
And last night i took 37 ibuprofine & this morning 22.
I’m really scared and i’ve never been in so much pain . All i wanted was to die and i guess that god just win’t take me yet .
I reall yneed some help but i can’t talk to my mom about anything and my dad is’nt a part of my life anymore .
Hi. My name is lydia and im 14… Ive been super depressed lately and Ive been thinking about suicide. No one in my family will even listen to my problems and act like they don’t care… So I had googled overdose on Ibuprofen and found this site… All I wanted was to find an easy way to die… But after reading what you guys said… I just want to go talk to someone and make them listen. Ive had so many problems lately. I just need an easy exit. And I thought ODing was the best answer. But I’m not sure anymore… I don’t know what to do with my life.
Keep your head up and move along
if you’re “super” depressed, you’re obviously not depressed at all.
i just took 91…… will i die? plese say yes
Oh Dear Kayla…… you have alot to live for?
and yet you OD?
well you will throw most of it up if you really have done that and then you will pass out.
someone will find you and you will awake in hospital fighting for your life.
its the liver you see it can stop working
i must warn you overdosing on pills is a slow painful death and people need to realise before they do this sort of thing becuse you have to wait until your whole body shuts itself down and it is really painful. you might even need a liver transplant and while waiting for one you can die.
Okay i’ve heard enough of the bullshit, as to what people might say about suicide and shit, but clearly most of them doesn’t even understand the situation. Fine I agree it looks pretty stupid when you’re coming across this stuff and wondering ‘WTF’ is wrong with people, but trust me you should be thankful you’re not in our shoes, what’s the appropriate kind of help that’s available? Counselling? Talking doesn’t really help does it? Worse case-scenario you’re put in a mental ward, where even though you’re not mental, you turn into one. I don’t care at the end of the day what it does to me. Atleast, it calms me and takes the pain away, might be stupid as it’s temporary, but it’s the best thing that helps me out. With that, i’ll have a couple and call it a night
well ashley your actually correct people cant help others with their problems they know how hard it is to make a crazy person listen to them.
so the only way for them to react is to throw people in mental homes even if they are not mental.
and your right being in one would actually make you mental…..
people who really want to end their lifes go to extreme measures when overdosing. taking alot day by day can also cause liver failure overtime
i understand how you feel. but surley when the pain comes and you live though your exsperence you would actually wish you were dead…. becuse it damages the body….
So everyone if your planning to do such a thing, think before you act!
its a slow, painful miserable death. and is proberly even worse than physical harm…. but everyone makes decisions and i suppose if you chose this path there is no turning back.
y0 i just took like 30 ibuprofen and man i feel great; i’m party like no tomorrow mix it with a lil Bacardi talk about a good fuckin feeling.
hey girrrrrrrl who’s 14. nigg i’m 15 and partying hard. lifes life. if your ment to live you live. not sure how that halps i ain;t reading the rest of the shit. i’m so shit faced right now. wooooooah
Before I post this, I will NOT pardon my language. If youre 15 and you have the opportunity to party all the time, you, as a child, got no fucking business telling grown people whether they should live or die. People who commit suicide arent limited to “emo” or whatever dumbass name chump kids have for cliques nowadays. You cannot take 30 ibuprofen drink and live. If you gotta brag like a little bitch to sound hard or cool, just shut the fuck up. I got diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and my dad used to get drunk and fucking diss me for it. I almost had a heart attack and mother fuckers thought it was FUNNY. I tried to kill myself and its mother fuckers like YOU who always gotta throw the shovel down the proverbial hole. You think youve hit rock bottom, and some dumb fuck WILL show you that you can always dig deeper.
you guys are all dumb stfu …
i have not tried to commit suicide, i dont think i could do that to my siblings. i feel like it wouldnt help. but thats just me. ive had two friends commit suicide, and an aunt. i couldnt stand it. i felt mad, hurt, betrayed. i kept wondering how they could do that to me. they just left me, no question. i do not see a counsellor, i handle my problems on my own. i was depressed for such a long time, but i got by. it wass so hard to waking up in the morning knowing that those people, who were so close to me, would not be there. i lost my appetite for the longest time. i just could not deal with the pain any longer. thats when i started to cut myself. that was my way of dealing with the pain. i felt like it masked the emotional pain. it made me feel good. it released what i was feeling inside.
none of my friends or family members knew what i was doing. i didnt want them to stop me. like i said, it made me feel good. i am only fifteen years old and i feel like i wasted so much time morning their deaths to enjoy my own life. i know they want me to be happy, and keep fighting. yes, it is so hard for me, but i try so hard to make it through the day. i have gone just about 6 months now without cutting, its such a hard habit to break. im sure my situation isnt as bad as most of yours, but i am still hurt.
please, before you really commit to committing suicide think. THINK about how hurt everyone else will be. youll solve your problems but cause more for others. think about how you would feel if someone left you. please, just think.
i think i should specify* i ddidnt want to commit suicide, i wanted to live. when i cut myself, i just felt like that got rid of the pain. again, i did NOT want to die
I have not tried to commit suicide, but I have thought of it when I was younger in my teenage years. I couldn’t do that to my familiy and it wouldnt help. but thats just me. Ive known to many friends and family that has committed suicide. 1st stage I was in AWE, 2nd stage I felt mad, 3rd stage I was hurt and felt betrayed. 4th stage the world felt as if it was empty I just keep wondering how they could do that to me. just leave with no questions or why. It is so hard to wake up in the morning knowing that those people, who were so close to me, would not be here anymore.
PLEASE PLEASE, before you really commit to committing suicide just think about how hurt everyone else will be. talk to some one to help solve your problems. Think about how you would feel if someone left you. please, just think.
Now I chose the life I wanted to live and that was to be in the UNITED STATES ARMY. I did that 20 plus years. I seen and done more than some and less than others if that makes sense. I can only say I thought I would never be were I am now and having the health issues I have but beleive me I see those faces along with alot of others almost on a daily basis and it gets mighty tough sometimes. I have been a Casualty Assistance Officer (CAO) and Notify the Next Of Kin (NOK).
Sorry I just had to say something hopefully to change a mind. Just find someone to talk too, they’ll listen Family, Friend or GOD. there are choices just try it.
Not to mention it causes Diarrhea and Horrific pains. and if you dont die your left in terrible pain.
Um earlier today I did something stupid I took over 7000 mg of ibuprofen.ime only 21 but I just get so fed up with life it feels like everytime I feel like ime getting somewhere I get knocked down so I just think fuck it what’s the point in carrying on…
I’m not overdosing on Ibuprofen to kill myself, I’ve been using it to stop toothache pain for the past 3 weeks. My concern, and question is; what does it do to you if you’ve been using about 12-20 200mg pills (taken 2-4 at a time depending on the pain) every 24 hours for weeks to months on end? Today I starting feeling dizzy, sweaty, confused, anxious, I have a bit of a tummy ache too. Am I okay?
you’re still okay. but you’ve gotta stop. switch to naproxin sodium (aleve) for a while but stay below 6 pills a day, less than 4 days straight.
drink lots of water to help flush it out too.
Stomach aches, sweating and anxiety are signs of a mild overdose. lots of water and greens will help you flush this out. stay away from liver damaging foods or drinks (i.e. alcohol) as your liver needs some recovery time.
monitor your skin color. if it becomes abnormal, get yourself to the hospital FAST!!!
Stomach problems come with ibuprofen taken regularly. GO TO A DENTIST! I was scared as hell to have my messed up mouth dealt with professionally so I did the same thing as you. One morning I woke with an abcess. Ibuprofen, vicodin, NOTHIN’ will help you with that except extraction or root canneling. Once I got through the first extraction the rest went easier. I won’t say I wasn’t afraid, but I will say I now have a great smile, no shitty smell in my mouth and a greater sense of pride.
Ibuprofin is less dangerous than others, but dangerous still.
the problem with it is that prolonged toxicity of Ibuprofin in the bloodstream causes organ failure.
the maximum daily doses are typically 1200mg (six tablets), but a doctor may perscribe up to 3200(usually in 4×800mg pills).
if you believe you’ve overdosed, you need to call the hospital immediately!
the standard treatment is charcoal as it absorbs ibuprofin in the blood. Before you take a bite out of a kingsford brick, remember those are treated with lighter fluid or other chemicals and can make a bad situation worse. again go to the hospital.
Tylenol (acetomenaphin) is deadly if you overdose.
the body has a hard limit on this chemical. there’s no gradual buildup to the overdose, so if you’re downing these pills you could feel no different but that one extra pill could kill you.
once the body has reached its limit on tylenol, the extra processed becomes this toxin that’s similar to arsenic and can kill you in tiny amounts.
I’m so sad that everyone is unhappy. I came here looking for… not a way out, but… just… hope. At first I was happy that so many people were
talking others out of committing suicide, but with everyone having so many problems… it’s like there’s not much to live for, really. People are mean. People are cruel. People do horrible things to each other. We’re a little rock floating in space (all religious beliefs aside, mind you) and we kill each other and take shit and do shit to other people because we can’t deal with our own minds. If I could choose any other place to live in the universe, I would. I’d go alone. I’m sick of people. So sick.
yes people are mean and cruel, but you cant let them run your life for you either; i know ive always let people say what they want to say about me and let them treat me however, but its really not worth it to do that
Why is everyone trying to outsmart each other? Read the article. All the effects and facts are there, or if not here they’re on another website that maybe everyone should read before they try and get ridiculously preachy in this post thing… No one cares if you think you’re right.
Also, you can very much take over 40 200mgs and still be ready for more
I enjoy the recreational use of pain killers. I’ve taken lots, other people have taken lots, and people forever will take lots. There’s really just no need for the negativity on this forum. People will be people.
Much love,
Kelly.
If your just coming on this site to make fun of people and to argue then do it elsewhere. There are people who come here who need help and some even asking for help, so i don’t get how this is funny to half of you. Telling someone to die or go ahead and do it is very cruel and upsetting. Instead of arguing help somebody… it can go a long way. Don’t come on here to brag and try to make yourself look cool, what it really is doing is making yourself look like an ass.
I agree the symptoms are at the top of the page. and nobody should come here to laught at others, but people should be here to warn others of the dangers of overdosing on pills. ( Becuse trust me people always check the comment areas of a website)
you really think pills are a peaceful death? well let me tell you it certainly isnt
people do not overdose by accident! they choose to do it. Overdosing on pills is horrific. if someone does it and then is found by a person and then taken to hospital. basically you can damage your liver and will then feel super depressed. if its worse death can occur, and as said before your body shuts itself down slowly while you are in terrible pain.
If any of you are reading this and have done something as stupid as overdosing on pills or are planning to, please get some help!
i personally once overdosed, and when my stomach was pumped it was the worst pain ever. so from me to you please change your mind now! or get some medical help straight away.
Oh and those of you who are like ” Boo Hoo you Dont understand how i feel”! heres my answer to you! your a crack pot and need medical help! and when your overdose fails you, dont come crying to me when you are sent off to a physiatric unit.
First of all your comment is in appropiate and unempethetic to those of us who do utilize this site for understand help. FYI those you are serious about killing themsevles will never share their secrete because of people like you. That is all I am going to advise you for today.
I took 20 Ibrophins, drank 5 glasses of wine and then took ambian. My back is now killing me and I never want to go to work anymore. I am extremely tired. Is this aside effect of the combination?
I wonder if anyone notices the posts on the very bottom of the list..
well my friend took 8 every other day wut wuld happen and shuld i tell her mom bout it but wut if she never trusts me anymore!!!??? im confused on wut to do??? HELP!!!
yeah so a hell of alot of things have gone on with my life lately and i just feel like i’m on my own. I have bipolar disorder and I’m currently living as an emo, i think. Can I just say I am very young of age, and I’m certain I don’t want to live anymore. I don’t care about the fufilling part, because I really don’t care, please don’t judge. Can anyone help me at all? Preferably an adult. I don’t like talking to my parents about this because they never seem to understand me and they think I talk a load of nonsense when I say I don’t want to live anymore. I’m 110% sure I’m done with this life, I’m in very low sets at school and I have barely any friends because of personal reasons. I’ve slit my wrists, cut myself, I’ve tried drinking bleach but It just tastes disgusting so I can’t drink It no more. This Is kinda my last resort other than hanging myself. I just want to go to sleep in the night and never wake up again. Sure people will miss me and YES I’ve thought about my family but frankly I really don’t care. They make my life sorta crap already and they don’t care about the fact I want to end my life. I just want to be happy, what pills could I overdose on? I have a variety in my kitchen drawer, do I just take them all, and how can I do this without my Mother finding out because If I can’t kill myself, she will. Please Help? I’m begging.
“i just want to be happy”… you say? ypu probably won’t be happy of you’re dead.
and religious or not, you don’t know what happens after this life… it could be worse than your life now.
you say you want to talk to someone? well you can’t talk to someone if you’re dead.
You are letting other people control you and your zest (or the lack of it) for life. Now, why would you want to let other people tell you what to do? You are your own person, responsible for yourself. Don’t blame others for the crappiness of your life. Get away from what drags you down and makes you feel worthless. There are so many things available to people today to help them to overcome dependence on others for their happiness. It took me about 40 years off and on working with people who were genuinely interested in freeing me from the captivity imposed on me by others. One day, I grabbed myself by the balls and decided “this is it”. I don;t need this any more. Hard work followed, but what a difference. It will not be handed to you on a silver platter. What is worth it in life is worth the work it takes to obtain it.
I took 2000mg with in a 3 hour period, two 800mg pills, and two 200mg pills. With in several hours i expeirenced tummy pains and vomiting! Its been a day since then and now i feel fine i probably should of went to the doctor. Should I be worried and if so, what about.
Let me end these debates. I worked in a hospital ICU for two years and saw suicide attempts with all sorts of drugs. When it comes to ibuprofen and Tylenol, I believe one of my coworkers (a doctor) put it best: “You can’t kill yourself with Tylenol, you can only kill your liver!”
i’m planning on taking an enourmous amount of advil, tylenol, and dramamine. when i’m too out of wack to feel any pain, i’m going to give myself an air embolism with an insulin syringe(will it be long enough?) I’m pretty sure this will work. Hopefully I only have to try once.
Whats the use in life. I hate it with a passion. Life is hard and then you die…
the following poem is one that i wrote as a suicide letter to people that i loved. it was supposed to be what would tell them happened, but when i was done writing it, i realized that i didn’t have to kill myself. the poem below is what i wrote and what ended up making me not commit suicide. the point of this post is that if you’re feeling down and depressed and suicidal, try writing about how you feel make a song make a poem make a story, all of those help me a bit everyday so it might help you too. just dont give up. i thought id share the poem incase if may help some of you who are suicidal. anyways yeah here it is, if anyone ever wants to talk to me about stuff im a good listener so you can reply to me on here for my email.
you coax me on
you hurt me deep
i hold a grudge
i will not keep
you are the blade against my wrist
my pain, my suffering, my therapist
i want to continue
i want to stop
either way i bleed a lot
it doesn’t matter
i don’t care
i’ll be gone soon
without my therapist near
this life takes too long
so i’ll end it now
i’ll suffocate, i’ll starve myself
i don’t care how
i love all my friends who care for me
guess you’ll never know what could have been
just move on and forget about me
it wont be hard considering
i left you with only a note on what i thought and how i felt
im sorry i left
im sorry i fell
im sorry i gave in to my personal hell
its over now im done with the pain
the numbness is gone and so is this game.
Is Tylenol the American equivilent to Paracetamol?
Iam gonna try to overdose now my family hates me and now i dont have to live like this anymore
DDD im so happy you guys told me about what happened i cant wait to go to a mental hospital !!!
wow i cant believe you would be excited by that
I got addicted to taking pills. It got to the point where i was taking at least 200 pills a day. I took so many pills and drank so many bottles of vodka, I have permenant short term memory loss. I also had to go to rehab 3 times and the mental hospital 4 times and lost my baby at 4 months. I stoped for about 7 months but got back into it. it really messes up your life.
so i tried commiting suicide this morning, took 20 50mg zolofs, 9 875 amoxicians, 14 500mg tynol, and 14 200mg ibrofen. well im still here and all i had was real bad tremors, dizzyness, and now my stomach wont stop gurgling.
I came here because I want to die in my sleep tomorow, I already take antidepressants and sleeping pills, althought I only have one left for tomorow and I take anti anxiety pills. I dont want anyone to comment after my post and say that I should commit suicide or that live goes on, you dont know me, I dont know you. I rather be in someone else shoes right now than to carry on living in mine. For me dying will be an escape from pain and all the problems I cant deal with anymore… the emotional pain, suffering, now overweights my ability to resist it.. I feel like my world has crumbled all around me on saturday when my boyfriend of 3 years has broken up with me because of my mental state.. now I have noone left and the pain of loosing one person who understood me and was there to help me hang on to life.. is now gone. I am going to carry on looking for answers on what pills can cause you to feel sleepy and stop your heart in your sleep. I want to sleep and never wake up. I hope that what I leave behind will remind people that life is short and sometimes.. it can destroy you if you let it.. so what I am trying to say is, I love my family and I dont want to hurt them, but they are not living in my body.. I have to be selfish because I cant carry on.. I rather be dead than be in mental clinic, or carry on taking different drugs and meetings with different doctors and people who claimn they could help but only make me more sad and lonely, Once my life was full of dreams and love and hope.. its all gone now. I am so alone. I wish everytime that I sleep and that is alot of the time, to get away from my thoughts and to pause the pain.. and it works It stops the pain but often I dream of people I love who I lost and things that are scary and I wake up in more pain than I went to sleep with. I cry and shake for hours and pace and crawl around my room, the halls, I wail on the floor wishing that my heart stopped, that someone came through my door, I need love so much, someone to love me, I want my dad to come to me with my boyfriend who now is not there for me.. to come to me and hug me so deeply to take away all this pain..and loneliness.. I love you with all my heart and soul. Im gonna end it I know I will. I have tears in my eyes and my hands are shaking. I am scared of hurting my self and failing to kill myself, I want to be sure that I will die in my sleep and noone will bring me back to this dark and cold and empty life I feel I am crawling through.
What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you honestly believe that life is such a fucking bore that you decide to end it all. You hurt so badly inside that you will take a handful of pills and slowly let it all fade from view. We all have no clue what death is like what is after if anything at all. All we know is that life is here and we live it through some hard sad times but you know what? Grow up. Life goes on. We live a harsh life but if you are capable of comparing your pain of living your life in a room think of those who don’t have a room to be trapped in. Who are living on the streets frightened and scared hoping they will live another day. I’m not talking about the trash that fills the gutters of our urban areas, I’m talking about the rest of the world you fucking simpletons. Life goes on. It does. It gets better. You have to take that step forward to make it better. Don’t complain about your problems fix them. And to anyone on here. I don’t care about what you have to say in return. Don’t take your fucking lives. Thats all there is.
my apologies for poor spelling grammar and punctuation/capitalization. bad habits.
honestly people. for those who think of this as a simple problem and that everyone is attention seekers- SHUT THE FUCK UP. ITS NOT LIKE YOUR GOING TO HELP ANYTHING YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO AGGRAVATE THE CONDITION YOU NINNYHAMMER. not meant to be offensive- but please think about the other side of the park. just cuz you discovered how to plant lowers dun mean they have.
AND– to those who are suicidal and/or depressed, i can only say that though you are in your condition, and no i do not know why, but i do understand how you feel. find a vice. it can help. and whatever makes you feel this way- get away from it. do not do the extreme, as it will not solve your problems, but merely make it so you cannot see them. if that is what you need, i will not say it is cowardly. everyone is different. but i plead you not too if you have the choice. life will go on whether you are in it or not. and your death will hurt people, and possibly lead them to do the same as you. im not gonna say its right, but i will not condone you if it is TRULY the only choice. NEVER try to commit suicide on a whim. thats all i ask. it may not be properly thought about. try to cheer yourself to the best of your ability, and think of what cons there are for it and not for it.as well as the pros. and dont purposely make it sound worse to yourself try your best to make it seem like a bad idea. because it really is. and the people around you will sincerely miss you, and will be sorrowful of your death. it is a horrible thing, to see anyone die, let alone a loved one, even if only an acquaintance. so please don’t do it. and i really do mean that. i am honest and sincere when i ask you not to for the good of others as well as your very own self.
i want to die took some pills 18 viks 15 ib and 5 zanny bars hope it ends and if it does only everyone else will know cause hopefully tomorrow tomorrow will nevr come so sleepy now trying to stay awake tried for help but it neeerter worrkkrkes liek thsiis poam
you coax me on

Still Alive Today, Wooah That Would Be So Weird If I Was Replying To A Dead Person :S
help me.
Ive Just Taken 16 And Nothing Happens Atall (N)
Oh Dr D…
You have a “Ph.D” in Clinical Psychology, right? This explains a lot of your arrogance and callousness… This site is about human emotions, which I’m afraid cannot be quantified and placed into neat little boxes, that psychiatrists and clinical psychologists so like to do. Unfortunately telling people that they are cowards for attempting suicide can surely lead to gross mis-conduct, and god only knows how many people you’ve helped “off themselves”. Surely, a”sane, rational Psychologist”, such as yourself, you would know this. Are you sure you’re not someone who spends their days creating false identities for themselves, and commenting on forum sites that they’re not welcome in (after reading a Wikipedia page, of course)? By the way, the above was irony. I’m British, I can’t help it. Oh, and did I forget to mention that I’m also a Psychologist? A proper Psychologist, with a degree that wasn’t granted to me from the University of Wikipedia.
These individuals have come on this page to discuss their emotions; they are going through a very tough time, regardless of the problem. People have different coping methods, and telling them to channel all of their emotions into something more productive is very undermining. For some it may be a simple case of having disfunctional problem solving skills, which will easily be remedied with some Cognitive Thinking Skills and a counsellor. For others, the trauma may be deeper, and a more intensive therapy will be better suited. For others again, feeling that they cannot seek professional help, because of atrocious comments from an individual such as yourself, and they therefore turn to more destructive means as a way of coping. Also, for some individuals, the problem may be a result of an imbalance of dopamine (that’s a neurotransmitter, by the way. I’m sure you can Google it.) which means that channeling their energies into other things will not help, as they need medical attention, to correct the imbalance. Whatever the problem, its still a matter of concern.
Finally, in summation “Dr” D., my advice to you is to stop being an arrogant arse, to throw away the dictionary you rely on (and can, therefore, use as a way to sound pompous and condescending), and actually go out and live your own life, rather than harrassing individuals who clearly need help, and not abuse from a middle-aged has-been. For everyone else who has thought about, or, has actually attempted, suicide, please get help. Talk with a friend, relative, seek medical advice. You are not alone (as this forum shows), and no matter how awful and tough life seems now, it will get better. It may take awhile, and you may want to give up again, but you’re all strong people, even if you don’t feel it right now. But only you can decide to do this.
I 100% agree. I have met tons of kids who have a lot more than I did when I was a kid and instead of seeing the positives and using those resources to further themselves, they roll around in pity and stupidity. I’m damn near the only one of my closer personal friends who hasn’t gone suicidal, and it wasn’t for lack of stimulae. I had abusive alcoholic parents. I had no money. I had mental illness. Every attempt I made to get ahead just crushed me further, until one time I went into full emotional breakdown because of being backed into a corner at a job I had taken.
Whoever it was earlier who stated that you have to be able to see the positives through the pain and that the best things in life are those that you have to work hard to get was COMPLETELY correct. Ive never had anything easy, but I got rides and walked to work when I was still a junior in high school. I saved for my future. I got my associate’s degree while working a full time job and a part time one, and I did it with a 3.97 GPA. I’m nearly done with my dual bachelor’s degree now. Do you think I let abuse, poverty, mental illness, and severe setbacks stop me? NO. It took me a couple months to bounce back from the emotional breakdown but I did bounce back.
If you aren’t strong enough to bounce back, you seriously need to look through your puddle of shit and see that LIFE waits on the other side. If you want to work through the shit to get to it, you’ll be rewarded. If not, stop crying to those of us who do. We have life to live, and we aren’t too cowardly to get out there and run the risk of doing it.
It also helps to remember that the poorest most decrepit person in the USA has it better than billions living in true poverty around the world. So next time you’re crying because of something happening to you, just be glad you aren’t having to take care of your siblings in an un-air conditioned shack in the middle of Africa because your parents died of AIDS, and there is no food.
well im about to see how many it does take to overdose and it is a suicide attempt i have 800mg ibuprofen
BUT WHYY.. I MITE BE ABLE TO HELP.. JUST MESSAGE ME BACK IF U WANNA ILL GIVE U MY EMAIL!
I REALLY WANNA HELP IS JUST TO CRAZY TO KNW HOW MANY PEOPLE WANNA COMIT SUICIDE!!
What are you guys trying to prove?!? YEah, sure, life can seem like real crap at times, but when did someone ever tell you it would be easy???!!! Wake up and face the real world. There are people all around you who care about you, just open up your eyes!!! Seriously! Reading these is so sad. How would you feel if someone close to you killed themselves? Huh???
Take one day to talk to someone. What is one day out of eternity? TALK TO SOMEONE!! Don’t come to a website like this, and poor your life out to people who don’t care one minute about you! I care, but wow, that’s one out of how many?
You have a purpose in your life, and by killing yourself, you won’t be able to find out what that is.
To the other people on this site, stop being jerk’s! Great, you don’t care, so don’t say anything! You are helping people make horrible decisions!! YOu are helping in the murder of an innocent soul, are you proud?
Please, please those of you thinking of taking your life, don’t do it. Please. You are so loved, and I promise you people will miss you, and I promise you that you will regret the choice you made. You are making a long term decision to a short term problem.
You are loved.

people want to die because their lives suck and nobody cares about them i am ten years old and i plan on killing myself on my eleventh birthday so go to hell
my aunt took 46 xanax & klenopin with hard liquor and didnt die. i really dont think taking a shit ton of ibuprofen is gonna do a damn thing but zone you out. besides fuck ibuprofen and adderall too, if you wana tripp take some ambien and darvocet together. everyone on this website is either suicidal, against suicide, or likes to show how much of jackass they can be. just convert to smokin the reefer, that seems to make everything better. -one love<3
weed does not make everything better. People need to get over the concept that weed is fun and good for you because it is not. It may not give you physical withdrawels but mentally it does. It damages your brain more severly than you think. If you are a man it make you infertile and makes you grow man boobies. Funny but true.
It ruined my life. I have permenatly dialated pupils because of it. It sucks. It’s like alcohol or like other drugs. You can’t just stop being stoned because you feel like it just like you can’t stop being drunk when you’re in the middle of it. We don’t have control of the things around us but we have control over our bodies. Why do something that makes you not have control of your body? Why distort the truth?
tbh, i dont actually care whether people think im being ‘attention-seeking’ or a child that has no experience of the world.

im 15years old, i became depressed when i was 11years old and have had depression since. i used to sit in a silent dark room all the time, and i never spose i just yelled. i started slitting my wrists. i dont know why i did it, but one day i just did. it made me feel better, i couldnt feel it at all, it must have been because i was so angry and hurt. it carried on like that till i turned 13. i then moved in with my sister when my mum got transferred into hospital overseas. i started smoking cigarettes and marajuana. i got drunk everynight and most days turned up late to school with huge hangovers. i moved overseas with my mum, and in the first month, i got raped by a 34year old man. i became very suicidal after this point. i slitted my wrist constantly, i had dreams about killing myself, i stopped going to school when i was 14 and my day was occupied with me standing on the sides of roads trying to force myself to step out, but i never could. or i sat in my room cutting myself. eventually i went to a councillor who sent me to an anger management course which i did once a week for 10months. after this, i restarted school, turned 15 and going good. im in my last year of school which is hard and challenging at times but i always think of how far ive come.
even though things are going good for me, there are times when i have arguments with family or close friends and the suicidal thoughts come back, or sometimes i just wake up and its not the greatest day for me and those thoughts come back … theres always gonna be times when you feel like you cant cope. there are always going to be people who dont understand what you are going through, and thats ok … you just need to find someone who understands and is willing to listen and help.
i think that help is deffiantely worth it, it might not seem to work at the beggining but in the end, the feeling of happiness is deffinately worth it. the feeling of love for life and for people is better than the feeling of sadness, hurt and the feeling of wanting to die.
i never knew there was this many people that felt like giving up, and it takes a split second to forget how important you are and attempt to kill yourself but please, you are worth so much! think of all the achievements you could do in the future, think of a family you can have, see and love. dont give in, because you are too special
so honestly i have neroton and ibprofen ya i know i cant spell whatever, but i need to die like now and im kinda a chicken so pills are a way out i guess. and dont tell me dude u have something to live for ugh no seen enough buddies die in iraq and afghanistan to know theres not much worth living for but to die for. anyways wife left took kids my whole paycheck is gone literally all gone. work is not understanding at all and im under ucmj for giving nco a piece of paper to get him off my back about paying the ex what i dont have basically made a false western union pay stub> so article 107 of ucmj. company grade article 15 ya i get one of those and im really fucked on trying to pay bills and ex and kids. so im looking for an outs really. any advice would be awesome wether it be a way to kill myself thats not goign to hurt or a way out of this ordeal im in.
My heart is breaking reading all these comments. Please don’t. Things are hard. You didn’t die in Iraq and Afghanistan, live for your fellow brothers. Do the things they could not. Live for your children. When they are older you don’t realize how damaging this would be for them. Trust that good things are possible. God loves us dearly and gave us life, so live. You are a beautiful person, sometimes we have to work for our happiness. Just don’t give up. Please.
I just came to this site to check ibuprofen and how much a normal liver can handle etc. I take quite a bit, but I don’t think of it as on of the serious offenders in that area. Just checking. I’m totally shocked at the kids her trying to off themselves with it. I’m NOT going to give them a better idea — that’s for sure. Jusus’ god kids.. give the hotlines a call or something. You’re all going to die in the end so stop thinking about yourselves and try to help somebody else with THEIR problems. There are a lot of people out there suffering. Don’t fuck up a healthy body because of some problem that doesn’t really amount to all that much. Man, I have a back injury that meas I can’t walk 100 yards without screaming in pain. I take the ibuprofen to help with imflammation. but I’m also on 80 mg of time released morphine a day. I have to take two different mediications just to stay awake with all that morphine in me and you people are…. ah crap. Feel sorry for yourselves? Damn. I wish I could feel like I did when I was 50
jeeezzz i wasnt expecting this, I litrally just came on in a panic, ive got sinisitus had it for around 5/6 days now and its absolute agony!!! am on antibiotics have been for 3 days but pain is not disapearing(antibiotics are called doxycilin – or something along those lines) ive bin taking paracetamol and ibroprofen alternativly every 2 hours but ran out of paracetamol so have ended up taking 5 ibroprofen within the last 2 hours. wantted to check up if id been very stupid and if i wud need to take myself to the hospital……im guessing by all the above depressing comments 5 is nothing in comparison. but could a nurse or doctor thats on here jst let me know, as having an over worry! also if im all fine wt pain killers will get me out this agony? (other then cocodimol – they make me sick!) thanks
It’s hard to overdose on ibuprofen, I took about 20 or so and drank on top of that lastnight, nothing happened besides getting drunk.
sexyyyyyyyyyyyy, everything about me so sexyyyyyyyyyyy
omg feel so stupid my friend took 6 tablets at once she said it nearly killed her nd i beleived her omg the shame on my face lol nd heres me wantin to be a nurse one day well hopefuly ill get smarter ha ha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Youre all disgusting… “I’ve taken 40 but it wasn’t really an attempted overdose” well what was it then… you took 40 tablets and made yourself get a stomach ache for nothing… complete idiocy
I will talk to anyone who wants to talk.
I will not judge and if you don’t want advice I will not dish it out. I know that sometimes you just need to vent. My heart is seriously breaking reading these comments. I have been there, cutting myself at 13, being depressed. Our circumstances may be different. You may be going through a lot but I am almost 22 now and I am very happy. Of course there are days when you feel like shit but I gurantee things will only get better. Once you hit rock bottom there is nowhere to go but up. 
Please talk to me. I will do anything to keep any of you from harming yourselfs. Comment this and I will give you my email.
hey im just wondering what would happen if i took 11 iburfen ???
OMG! This is a train wreck, people! I was looking for information about the absorption rate of 800 mg ibuprofen tablets – and found this! I would suggest that if anyone has questions about their medications (even over the counter ones) – they should talk to their doctor or their pharmacist! Good grief. The really scary thing is that probably most of you people vote!!! If you can’t figure out ibuprofen, you really shouldn’t be helping to elect our country’s leaders!
My goodness people! i just read this entire thread, and it is out of control!
umm hi, i took around 30 ibuprofen. Im seeing a doctor tomorrow. i feel pain around my lower stomach. Im 15, scared, and dont know what to do. can anyone help?
im depressed all the time so i just smoke weed and chill instead of taking loads of tabs, and guess what! weed wont kill.
My husband tried to kill himself tonight, he took a lot of different pills including ibuprofen. I was looking to see the effects all the different pills he took would take. I was astonished to read some of the nasty comments on here, doesn’t look moderated at all.
Most suicide attempts are a cry for help and they don’t realise the long term effect it has on their body or the other people around them, they need help not judging!
I have read all your comments. Attempted suicide is a cry for help-yes. Suicide is selfish. When someone is successful that person never thought of the effect it would have on the people that loved them. Sure at that point in time where they felt it was the only way to resolve problems quickly didn’t think about how selfish it was. My cousin in his senior year of high school shot his head off because he didn’t like his mother getting re-married, and being pregnant by her new husband. For my family and me, that was the worse year of our life. For his poor mother, she had 2 miscarriages,but finally got pregnant and successfully delivered a healthy baby girl. Her 2nd husband divorced her shortly after her daughter was born because he didn’t want to hear anymore about her son who killed himself, what an A.Hole. She has re-married 12 years later, and her daughter got pregnant at 15 years old. Guess what the 3rd husband did, divorced her because her daughter is pregnant. My cousin is now 16, has a beautiful healthy baby boy. Her mother is very supportive, not saying she approved of her daughter getting pregnant at 15, her mom is there for her, NOT abandoning her like her 3 husbands and 1 son did. I don’t know how she holds it all together. So I understand people being depressed, yadda,yadda,yadda. I can understand Liz’s point too. As a Burn/Trauma ICU nurse, a few months ago, our step-down unit was empty, but there was an over-flow of patients who tried to commit suicide. The ICU has 18 beds filled because we had empty beds the Neuro ICU needed! Some psychiatrist saw the stepdown unit was empty and turned it into a mini psych unit! What a nightmere! 10 patients who are on suicide watch are now in our stepdown unit taking away precious time and care from the 18 ICU patients who didn’t do anything to themselves to be in the ICU. What was really disgusting was receiving report on several of these attempted suicide patients who are called “frequent flyers” because of how many times they have attempted suicide, went to the psychiatric unit for help, and released 3 days later! By the end of the 1st week, I’m sorry, I know this is of bad taste, but the patients who had attempted suicide multiple times, several of us were ready to hand out flyers “Suicide 101:Getting it right the FIRST TIME!” One of the patients who tried to killl herself overdosing was MAD at us because we saved her life! COME ON! Why some psychiatrist decided our step-down unit was going to house those psych patients was truly a psych patient himself. You can’t give the time, and care to your ICU patients with 18-20 IV meds and tubes coming out of every orifice, monitoring ventilators, getting ABG results(arterial blood gas % on burn patients to monitor that their brain isn’t starved of oxygen to put it lightly) a ga-zillion times a shift, checking patients whose eyes are fixed and dilated and then actually seeing their pupils blow! ICP bolt pressure-(in lay terms how much pressure is on their swelling brain), 10-15 min. dopplers, temp, & color checks of limbs that were amputated but were successfully saved so in lay terms is checking to hear there is adequate strong blood flow on the limb that was re-attached so it remains alive, and checking the color and tempurature of the skin that its not getting cold and the color isn’t getting dusky (DARK) ! Putting leeches on fingers that were re-attached to keep bloodflowing, and then having to find the stupid leech who dropped off after it was full and was now roaming around! Hourly blood glucose checks on patients with a continous insulin drip so you knew if your patient’s blood sugar was in a safe range, and need I say anymore of what else is involved in the care of a critically ill patient, because thats just the beginning!Some of you will still fail to understand! Who do you think fault would fall back on if one of us made a mistake in dosing an ICU patient and killed them because we were distracted babysitting the psych patients! Try explaining to the families of the ICU patient who see a woman running down the hall naked, who pulled out her IV’s and is holding the IV pole sideways yelling “I’m going to kill all you bitches!” Yes, this truly happened. That patient broke her restraints, and was running down the hall 5 minutes after the nurse she had just left the room who was doing 15 minute room checks on her. Every attempted suicide patient is required a 24 hour sitter, but for whatever reason, there weren’t enough “sitters”. I hope this has opened some of your minds a little more about your perception of suicide now that you have heard it from the point of view of the medical staff as well as a family member who lost a loved one to suicide.

no offence but you are misinformed, we always hear about people judging as a whole when they must not comprehend that actully every person is unique sure groups of people may follow the same rules or musical taste or whatever however just because some suicidial people may do it for attention you are stupid if you think that because of some, that all suicidal people do not even percieve the affects that it has on others some people who think about suicide and attempt it and suceed in it know the affects their actions will have on those around them however you CANNOT even begin to understand what it is like if you have never suffered from it, i come onto these sites and im disgusted by what i see, people pretending they understand other people that they know how they feel and their reasons for doing things EVERYONE IS UNIQUE im not going to tell you personal things about myself and what ive been through because im not here seeking attention i only write this now as i am appaled by what i have read if you have never felt what it is like to be suicidal do NOT judge do NOT call people weak and cowards you should count yourself lucky you have never felt that way and if you do judge people when you have no understanding of them even if you think you do then you, you are an insestive misinformed person that should refelct their actions and look at themselves and what sort of person they are before they DARE judge someone they dont understand
and excuse any grammatical errors ect where i live its really early in the morning :/

Thank you.

okay to all the people on here who say anything negative to the ones who talk about suicide are absolutely heartless. i dont get how you can live with yourselves talking like that. you may think its funny but its not. people who talk like that do not need anyone telling them to do it, they need help whether you agree with suicide or not. have a fucking heart. i have tried it and it has been about a year since my attempt. i overdosed.. swallowed a bottle of pills. i also self mutilate- burn myself. my dad passed away when i was 16, 3 years later my mom suffered a stroke and was put into an induced coma and shortly slipped into a natural coma and has been in it for about 2 months now. my brother and sister are alcoholics, my sister has a 6 year old daughter who i am constantly taking care of. i am 19 and have to take care of my family, without my mom or dad here i am like the parent. anyone who hasnt been through a truly life changing struggle cannot understnad the feeling of your life literally falling apart. i respect that in people that they may not be able to relate to me but at least try and understand that many face real diffculties that are close to impossible to try and deal with everyday. i still think about suicide but wont try it again because people need me and i ahve realized there are people who care about me. to anyone who is considering suicide, please know whether you think so or not there are people who care about you and dont want anything bad to happen to you. all you need to do is ask for help and they will be there for you. coming on a website like this will not help because you will have ass holes who dont know you and will jsut be negative. go to people closest to you and they will help! take everything a day at a time. life is a daily struggle and a lot of us are lucky to get through each day. learn from any situation and grow from it rather than fall. i know people have it much worse than i do so it is hard for me to try and tell anyone how to handle their problems but just know that even though life seems hopeless now- there is always hope. it may not come anytime soon but it will come in time. also, to the people who like to come on here and say negative shit, what is even the point. youre taking time out of your life to make others feel worse and push them to kill themselves?.. think about it.
“whenn written in chinese, the word ‘crisis’ is composed of two characters. one represents danger and the other represents opportunity” – JFK
and to sam. those symptoms sound like a stomach ulcer. i ahd the same problems because i used to take crazy amounts of pills everyday and got diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. go see your doctor asap!
everyone needs to relax here. 1. killing yourself is not the answer, EVER. 2. everyone goes through shit, my life blows but i would never do it and leave my family who needs me. before you try to kill yourself think of your family and friends.. im sure they want you here. seriously get some help, tlak to someone who cares. i understand people go through shit that they cant deal with but someone out there has it worse than you do. tahts how i think when im getting down. and stop coming on here and making all these people who are depressed more depressed, seriously. you could be the reason that someone who has posted on here isnt living anymore. i believe in tough love so thats what i am going to do. stop complaining and deal with your shit in a HEALTHY way. look passed what youre going through and what you wuold be putting your loved ones through if you killed yourself. i get things are hard, my whole life has been hard and i had to grow up at a very young age but instead of feeling sorry for myself, i have accepted my life and go at it head on. yeah i wish i could change things about it but i cant so just learn from it. grow stronger and help others who may be dealing with what you are; share your story. a lot of people wish for so many things to change in their life but the truth is its probably not going to change. both my parents died by the time i was 20. shit i wish i could change that but i cant. theyre not coming back and as much as i hate it i have accepted it. it took time but i did eventually. instead of feeling bad for yourself, fucking do something about your problems and take charge. be the change, its not just gonna get easier if you dont make an effort. someone out there has it worse than you do and they are getting through it. suck it up and accept the life you have been given whether its shitty or good. i definitely respect that everyone has hard times that may seem like youll never get through it but you can. lean on others and ASK for help. “it is surmounting difficulties that makes heroes” never give up on yourself. you are stronger than you think. it sucks that it takes shitty things to happen to us to make us see how strong we are of course but thats life. youll never know how strong you are if you give up now, youll surprise yourself i swear. “only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go” if ANYONE wants to talk i am here. ill do what i can to tlak with anyone who feels like life is too much. please be strong and keep pushing forward not looking back.
no one should end their lives. i dont even get why there are websites like this. no one is going to find answers to their problems on here. everyone who wants to help is gonna say the same shit and everyone who doesnt care is going to tell you to go for it. if you really are considering suicide then get some help. you may think its the right decision but its definitely not. for the kids who are not even teenagers or barely in high school talking about suicide are crazy. youre so young and have so much life ahead of you and so much time for things to get better. my mom killed herself when i was 20 and it tore my family apart. me and my siblings were left with no parents bc my dad passed away when we were young. i only talk to 1 out of 4 other siblings now and rarely talk to the rest of family. if you kill yourself you will kill your family and i dont think any of you on here want to do that. life brings everybody shit that they have to deal with not just you and others get through it and i can almost guarantee at least one of the people who get through it have problems that are much worse than any of yours. stop bitching and deal with it..keep busy. the only way i could deal with my problems is by staying busy alll the time. it will help keep your mind off shit which helps. dont be alone- look to others to lean on. im just sick of people complaining about shit and coming on here trying to talk about it. there are professionals who are trained to help people through life so you that to your advantage. thats all i ahve to say.
Ok guys this is stupid. I stumbled across this site as I have a sore back and what to know how many pain killers I can take. But what do I find. An argument for suicide. You all need to grow up and get a life. If you are serious about ending your life for some stupid reason go ahead and do it I don’t care and neither does the rest of the world bit it is clear it is just attention seeking as you are talking about it on the net. On another point. If you are going to commit suicide don’t do it the weak way and take meds. Go out in a blaze of glory by jumping off a tall building or even running a razor across your wrists. At least you will get the attention you so clearly crave then. Anything that will get you losers to stop moaning. We all have problems. DEAL WITH THEM!
person who commented above me stfu you clearly have no idea about what its like or anything you need to look at one kind of person you are telling people who are already suicidal to go kill themself an people on here are not here for attention seeking sure some might be but some people like myself only stumbled acorss this site by chance looking for infomation you whoever you are should be the one to go through shit instead of the people that feel suicidal that way you might know what its like untill then stfu you stupid insenstive dispicable person
Hi, I just had a root canal 2 days ago and i was prescribed 800mg ibuprofen. I took 2 of them and 2 200mg of OTC ibuprofen to help relieve the pain and it did nothing! Now my stomach is kinda hurting… I think it’s because i havent ate since yesterday afternoon and puked that day because I took my 1 of brother’s m357 (Codeine) to relieve the pain and it worked perfectly. However, later that night i puked and I don’t know if it was because I haven’t ate or my first time have a codeine, or it was because I took 1000mg of ibuprofen, some Amoxicillin (so my tooth doesn’t get infected, and some doxycycline for my acne. I’m not suicidal, it’s just my tooth is killing me from 1-10 it’s a 10 right now and I just want the pain to STOP! Also, I’m 5 foot 6 and weight 140 if that helps answer my questions.
Are the first few comments true? 40 ibuprofen will kill me? I am 17, healthy, and fit. I do alot of exercise and swimming. Will it kill me please?
Believe me , don’t try to overdose . On August 27, 2010 over the summer i was stupid enough to attempt suicide . I felt life wasn’t going well for me and nothing mattered in this world . I didn’t realize that i was being selfish and it made me realize that theres plenty of people who care for me and don’t want this . I remember clearly taking all the naproxen pills from the little prescription bucket . After an hour the pills took effect and I was gasping for air . I began to start puking so much and the liver’s vile came out . After around 10 times of vomiting , and no i am not exaggerating , I became so weak i coudn’t stand on my own . My vision was hazed and my memory began to leave. I am now alive thanks to my Aunt who found me puking near the couch . It took me a day to regain my memory and be strong enough to walk again because when i did regain conciousness , I was so dizzy i couldn’t walk again . While i was still in the hospital lying unconcious , i heard things , but i didnt have the strenght to speak , move , or do any sign that i was still alive . This has been the worst experience for me . not being able to remember who i am , where i was , if the people surrending me were my family or not . It was horrible . So trust me on this , it is not a good idea to overdose . And please don’t try it just for fun . Even though life is hard, and no one said it would be easy , try to make the best of it . But don’t give up . Appreciate the things you have even if its little or you feel you dont have anything . Be your own cheerleader in this life, and live for yourself . Thats all i have to say , but please don’t overdose .
That didnt answer my question….
no 40 will not kill you. i have taken double that. the worst that will happen is you will get a very painful stomach/head ache and be throwing up. you would have to take a lot more than 40 to kill you. but either way you shouldnt take any more than what is recommended on the bottle because it can do very harmful things to your body- stomach, liver, etc. its not worth even trying.
It’s sad to see all of the stories about people trying to kill themselves and what all they’ve been through.
Yeah, I’ve tried to kill myself before, and I’ve never gotten over wanting to. I know suicide isn’t worth it though. Life can be hard, but everyone can get through it with some help.
I know quite a few people who have attempted suicide, and a few people who actually did it. But they would have been so much better off if they never would have gotten invovled with any suicidal stuff.
And self harm is just as bad. Sure, I’ve done self harm quite a bit, and I regret it. No, I didn’t tell my family and haven’t, but it’s because I don’t want anyone worrying, I don’t find it worth it, only because I’m me.
If it were someone else, I would definitely encourage them to talk to someone.
A few people that I’m close to do know most things and have helped some.. I’d be lost without those people.
No, I don’t always know what to do or what to say.. No one does. But one way or another, every single person can get through life.
I took 20 one time..didnt feel anything.. took 10 a couple months later.. threw up 12 times the next day..
I have been taking 6 200mg of anvil for almost two weeks and all I have been feeling is abdominal pain a little nausea and gas. I’m not suicidal by no means I just built up a tolerance that high and it’s the only way I can go to sleep. Should I go see a doctor or just stop taking them.
soo i my dad just broke down the door and smashed about every plate in the cabinet i don’t know why im writing this but i took 6 ibuprofen and 1 tylonol rapid release gel pill i know its not exactly overdosing but as soon as i swallowed i knew what i did was stupid and i can’t stop crying not for the reason of taking the them but for the reason that everytime my dad does something out of anger towards me i just can’t keep up the barrier and i completly fall i like the idea of being able to write this down and not keep it in the whole anonymous thing also makes me feel a little bit better like im not trying to kill myself but the idea of not having to put up with him everynight the idea of not having to dread coming home everyday of putting up the fake smiling mask in front of teachers and friends and pretending like everything is ok just seems easier but like isn’t easy i feel like i can’t really ever talk to anyone not even my own mother because after i left her and when i thought living with my dad would be easier than getting beat by my mom’s new husband she’s completly blocked me out of her life sometimes i feel like i’ve made the wrong choice sometimes i wish i could just run away but i know that wouldn’t solve anything it seems that after everything i wanna say i’ve grown stronger but there’s a crack in that wall and im beginning to crumble and i don’t know how much longer i can keep pretending and keep faking what would be some advice on how to handle my situation cleanly i’ve gotten help and talked to professionals before but it seems their methods on making me go back into my past and pull out more details has made it harder to cope with my present im 16 and a jr in highschool.
I have a question about all the comments on here. I Googled about ibuprofen overdose because I have been taking way more than the recommended dosage the past few days, along with other over the counter pain pills, and worried about what this will do to my body. While the information on here was fairly informative (though still not exactly what I was looking for) I was highly disturbed by all the comments.
WHY is everyone talking about killing themselves with ibuprofen?! A lot of the comments were full of people BRAGGING about taking crazy amounts of pills and not dying from them and other stupid comments along the same lines. Then people started in on how they have tried to kill themselves by taking X number of ibuprofen and other over the counter pain meds.
First off, if someone is seeking to kill themselves by way of over the counter pills, they are not going to be looking through the comments of idiots online before doing so. They are just going to open their medicine cabinet and take everything available. They aren’t going to look at a bottle of ibuprofen and go, “Oh, I only need to take 20 pills out of this 100 count bottle.” No, they are going to take the whole bottle!
Secondly, who really tries to kill themselves with ibuprofen! Most people that have overdosed on the stuff are simply idiots that have done it accidentally. (Yes, I include myself in this comment. I take full responsibility for my actions, including the stomach cramps and almost guaranteed liver damage.) They don’t care to read about the morons that were looking for some kind of high or are trying to impress people by how many pills they can take and not die. I am sure there are sites for that somewhere. Go brag there.
For those of you that said they tried and failed to kill themselves in this way, I am sorry you feel that you need to go this route. I sincerely hope that you have found the help you needed and are better now. For those of you that are trying to blow smoke up everyone’s asses, go screw yourselves. Suicide is a serious matter, not something to brag about.
This article is for those people seriously seeking help on a serious matter. Not a place to brag and talk crap. Go somewhere else for that. Please.
I will go to the store next week and buy about 5 boxes of sleeping pills and take them all. If that doesn’t work I will die of hopelessness.
ARE YOU FUCKING DAFT!? I had near complete liver failure from a tylenol OD. I can get the medical records to prove it, and I remember the taste of the PINT of CHARCOAL I had to drink when they got me to the hospital, and the sulfuric shit I had to take to deactivate it.
tens of thousands? id like to say it claims millions. suicide is a problem that is in EVERY single society since the beginning of times, if you a poor asian or a rich caucasian…
u kno u just need tha rite dosage so ill find it n thn wen tht tyme kmes i wnt b here to write bak to this post
i am on watch.. i am so depressed that i dont want to be in this world any more… wat all could i O.D on so then i will not be in this world anymore?
where’s the Beef?
Can taking 8-9 400mg Ibuprofen at once cause problems with the brain? I honestly don’t know what I was doing when I took them. Part of me wanted to kill myself, and the other part just wanted to numb the emotional pain somehow, and those were the only things around. Part of it was a cry for help too. I was not thinking at all. I was really blinded by anger and frustration. It was two years ago now, and I was 19. I feel like my memory is really bad now, and it just feels like my head is in a fog constantly. The pills had no effect on me at all when I took them, except very slight nausea that lasted only like 10 minutes. But I’ve never been to a doctor in two years because we are too poor, and I only told my mom about it recently because I was scared if it is causing me brain damage or other brain problems. Can it cause any kind of problems to the brain? I am really scared now, I regret it so much.
so… im thinking of overdosing with 100 200mg tablets of ibuprofen. yes. it is a suicide attempt. see you all on the other side !
OMG CAN WE SAY THAT THE BIBLE SAYS GOD DONT FORGIVE SUICIDE WHO WANTS TO GO TO HELL WE ALREADY LIVE IN HELL DO YOU WANT TO SPEND ETERNITY LIVING IN HELL IM NOT JUDGING BY ALL MEANS BUT I KNOW SOME OF THE BIBLE I THINK SOME OF YOU IDIOTS SHOULD FIND GOD I WILL SAY A PRAYER FOR YOU
You know, your comment would be less judgmental if you didn’t have the caps lock on.
Acyually I too have taken in excess of 35 ibruprofen and then codeine, paracetamol all topped off with some zopiclone. I too am alive to tell the tale and suffered nothing more serious than being high and sleepy.
I know it was a long time when you asked this question, and no one seems to have answered.
I just took 12 and nothing happened. I have a major backache that I’m now thinking is worse than spasming muscles, but this morning I dropped the Ibuprofen and nothing happened.
If i took them at the age of 18, 135 pounds, about 5′4 taking somewhat of steroids, would it kill me?! just wondering…
A spoonful of Drano works better than 50 Ibuprofen… so does a razor blade. You people just want attention.
do you think if i took 7 naproxin tylenol 3 basically , 6 hydrocodone tylenol 4 basically,and 25 ibeprofin ?
Oh, Christy! I received your cookbook today. Tears of joy welled up in my eyes: joy for you and your family and joy for everyone privileged to have their lives enriched by your recipes and your words. An enduring and indelible gift!
I really want to kill myself right now i have all the tylenol i need to at least try and hurt a lot and end up in the hospital… i don’t want to do it but i feel like there’s no way around it
i wish someone would help me.
i can’t talk to anyone.
I believe that is among the most important info for me. And i’m happy studying your article. But wanna observation on some general issues, The website taste is ideal, the articles is in reality great : D. Excellent activity, cheers
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!
I have not read all the comments but the ones I did read had very good ideas But has anyone mentioned the verious obelisks around the world? We watched National Treasure 2 last night for the fourth time:) And I thought What an interesting idea the obelisks would make. Example The Washington Monument???
Why would you want to kill yourself…you are so mental…that’s not what your mom would have liked you to do.
first of all watch ure language second of all no one said it was going to kill you third of all how would you know…did you try it???
my mom got on my nerves and i overdosed on drugs for 3 days most of it being ibuprofen…now i am really tired all the time and am always confused…not to mention that i ma in high school and am never confused…my eyes are turning yellow…and those 3 days were not consecutive either.
there is nothing wrong with this all that will happen is she or he will be high and the only way you can die is a extensive amount and by that i mean for a 100lbs person you will need 2,890 mg this is 144 tablets and every pound that person weighs you add 289 mg hoped thid helped and btw setve and that other guy below u guys must have been pretty dumb to take all of that dumb asses and 40 will still not kill you so guys learn what you are saying befor you say it!!!
tylenol is not ibuprophen.
i have tried before too using diffrent methods. dont do it it gets better know that is what everyone says but it is true. and even so it will afecct so much more people than you. if it didnt work then maybe it didnt work for a reson. please dont try again whatever is wrong will get better eventaly. (sorry 4 bad spelling)
above coment is in reply to tylar
I’ve been taking excessive amounts of ibuprofen for about 6 months. Along with other pills such as somas nd regular tylenol crap. The most I’ve taken at once was over 45 ibuprofen nd 4 somas hoping I wouldn’t wake up the next day. I did wake up but I couldn’t stand up without feeling like I was gunna puke nd I’ve come to find out I no longer have a big appetite like normal. I have symptoms of insomnia, sleep apnea, depression, nd anxiety. My stomach, back, nd knees are constantly hurting. I don’t wanna tell my parents cuz they’d just tell me, “You don’t have that hard of a life.” What do I do?
I took 2 and a half and im twelve what should i do
Hey! 12 yr old. Shut up. You’re fine.
I took Two 600Mg ibuprofens without reading the bottle and i was wondering if i”m going to be okay?
Two 600Mg ibuprofens will not make any problems. However, if you are not feeling ok, you should see a doctor.
might i suggest something that I have not seen posted here yet. If any of you are depressed (and this goes out the younger people, teens, highschoolers, etc) try smoking some mariuana. Now i know that I’m going to get a bunch of comments saying “No, drugs are bad” and bunch of other crap but in my personal experience, it helped me get back into enjoying life again. Cheaper than anti D’s and probably a lot easier to get a hold of, it worked as a quick acting life changer that helped me see the world in a different perspective. Now I’m not saying every time you feel sad, go hit the bong because that won’t solve anything either, but if you’re really far into and it seems like nothing else is working, keep it in mind. And another thing: it doesn’t make you a drugy or a bad person, it just makes you human. Change is a good thing. (by the way if you have the urge to post after me with a bunch of anti-weed comments, feel free to. I want to see just how ignorant the general population is)
Over 400 is overdose? No.
I used to take 800 on a daily basis. I’m fine.
I just took 2,400mg
I’ll share a little story
I have epilepsy and severe migraines that sound and feel like a drill is going through your head. I took (at least) 14 Tylenol pills and 7 advil. (YES the pain was that bad)
I did not die (obviously) but later in the week my liver started to pain more and more, still today it hurt. I’ve been to the doc. and they say that my livers aren’t functioning well. This was the second visit. I took those pills last year october and when i went there before they said nothing was wrong.
It takes awhile but there is a side effect :/
Im 15 almost 16, and i live in london, today i took about 25 ibruprofens and im feeling abit sickly…. I dont no what ive done, apart of me wanted to die, and the other is really scared at this moment in time… Should i be scared ?
im in the same position as you sevda. im 15 and turning 16 an in uk but in not sure which pills to take to commit suicide,so was just researching… same as you at the moment i dont know why im doing this, but its because of everything ive caused and is happening to me.ive got paracetamol but ive heard that kills you on the amount you take for a period of time. but im scared too….i will miss alot in life..hmm we will see!!
i just took 800mg on Accident that wont do any harm will it i thought they were 20mg but they were 400mg and i took 2
of ibuprofen
I’ve been taking 5 ibu’s every 4 hours (20-24 pills) daily for about a month now……I had a bad toothache because of wisdom tooth….had wisdom and molar pulled….got 2 drysockets….too weeks later still in pain using 1000 mg every 4 hours and Clove gell applied. I see no effects (yet)
i took a overdose when i was 14, im nearly 16,altogether i took 94 pills codine co-codimol paracitemols and ibuprofens obvsiously i ended up in hospital and i had to drink this black charcole to stop my from getting liver failure but should i still go and see a doctor about it?
My vote: stop talking about this ’cause it’s pointless.
Taking large amounts of drugs recklessly or recreationally is always dangerous. Arguing about whether or not it is lethal is pointless. It is still dangerous either way and should not be done. And even if you think you will be ok, if you are aware you have overdosed you need to go to the hospital because it is always a health risk no matter what. End of story. Better safe than sorry. Just think about it.
hey i have a question for anyone who could answer it for me what if someone took 21 pills of 400mgs of ibuprofen what do you guys think would or could happen
