What Can Ibuprofen Overdose Do To You?

by Purva Mewar | Medicine | Thursday, January 18th, 2007

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.

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!!

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

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.

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……

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 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.

Comment by Stef

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Comment by Josh
2009-11-20 06:02:44

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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?

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

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.

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 @.@

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.

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?

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.

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.

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??

 
Comment by curlgirl
2008-01-16 15:51:15

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 take IBUprofen every day, have been for years, for headaches. I only take the lowest amount available, 200mg.

 
Comment by Kate
2008-01-18 12:00:16

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.

Comment by Thomas
2008-01-21 09:12:38

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.

Comment by chris
2010-01-12 07:52:48

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

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!!

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!!!

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

“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’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.

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

2008-04-29 23:32:43

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.

 
Comment by Yuri
2008-04-30 23:23:07

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 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’ve also had like 4-8 a day after that. But I’m stopping now.

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.

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!

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.

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…

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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….

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.

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.

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 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.

( 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

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!

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

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

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.
