What Can Ibuprofen Overdose Do To You?
Please Bookmark:        |
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.
Treating Ibuprofen Overdose Patients
kk my friend has took more than 10 Ibuprofen talbets what will this do to her asap !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
make them throw up
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.
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?
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?
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.
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
“/
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!!!
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.
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.
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
Im taking 60 tonight.
I want to overdose.

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
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??!
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?
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.
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.
U GUYS R ALL SO FRiCKKEN STUPiD! DRUGS R GAYYY…STOP DOiN THiS SHiT TO UR BODY PEOPLE! DAYYYUUUM!
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
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
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
How many ibuprofen does it take to knock yourself out?
someone let me know please, xx

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
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.

my friend took 22 ibuprofen, about 4400 mg.
take her to the hospital after she throws up?
Hey wait a minute..
I’ll take a 800mg Ibuprofen tablet whenever I get a migraine. Is that bad for me? Do I have to cut the pill in half or something?!
Yesterday, I took an 800mg tablet in the morning and then again at night. I was feeling pretty crappy that day. I just wanna know if I’m taking the wrong kind of medication.
i took 24 200mg pills but i feel fine i cant tell my mum im only 12 what should i do?

i’m stressed out from my boyfriend, a lot of things have happened, this is my third night now taking 20 pills a night
I can’t seem to get around doing this to myself. Too much stuff has happened and I just feel like
hurting myself it’s the only way I feel better.
I drink at times because of him.
I’ve cut my wrist.
I’m so fed up with crying over him and pills and drinking are all that comes to mind when I am crying about him.
im worried about my best friend she took 70 tablets and i dont know what to do. 5 hours after taking them she called me and told me she couldnt stop shaking so i told her to tell her mom. Im pretty sure she went to the ER is she gonna be ok?!?!

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?
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.
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?
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…
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.
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…
will it kill me?
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
i took like 5 this morning and i have been for a while now. my stomach really hurts
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.

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.

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!
