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

kk my friend has took more than 10 Ibuprofen talbets what will this do to her asap !!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Duh. I’ve tooken 40 ibuprofens @ one time,
& nothin happened..
I just got spacey, & a HUGE stomach ache…
It wasn’t really a suicide attempt though..
dude i took like 40, nothing happened either. then i took like 20, mixed it with day quill, ny quill, and tylenoll…. talk about tripping balls man
u guys are fucking dumb.first of all the question was asked in 2007.2nd of all theres no way u guys took all that tylenoll and didnt fucking die
I agree with Chris S. on that one… SAM AND STEVE no offence, but you either got some serious “story telling” skills or you just want attention! First of all: who takes 40 ibuprofen that ISN’T trying to kill themselves… and Second of all, if that were true and you did take 40 ibuprofens, or 20 and some day quill, night quill or what the fuck ever else YOU WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!! Unless you got to the hospital within MINUTES of taking all of that and had your stomach pumped. If you took HALF that amount of ibuprofen you would die. why would you even brag about it either… how would you feel if some young kid or teenager came on here and read that and decided to experiment and took that amount of drugs and died!! GROW UP, both of you and drop the fucking act!!
thank you for that. what a bunch of idiots in this world
Actually, you’re wrong. Ibuprofen won’t kill you.
When I was younger my mother died and I was suicidal and tried to kill myself several times with Ibuprofen and it does not work.
Tylenol does not do it either, I don’t know about Nyquil and Dayquil though, so actually you two are wrong.
They probably did take them and are still alive.
actually you are wrong, if you are allergic to ibuprofen it can have seious side affects and it can kill you. found out I was allergic the hard way.
Well, i agree on pam because if you have an allergic reaction to a certain drug and can cause more damage. I took(NOT a lie, also NOT bragging) about 27 ibuprofen today, and nothing happened. Yes it was a suicide attempt. It also depends on the mg/kg of any drug you take
Ibeprofin can kill you over time, and mixing it with other medicines could kill someone (depending) but taking such doses probably won’t kill you. I don’t agree with the second person who said “nothing” happened though. Something is going to hurt now or later if you take that much, especially if it’s mixed. I don’t know why you would take all of that “just because” though.
Tyler: I hope that you receive/received some help. I was suicidal once too but was given the opportunity to see what was waiting for me in the future. I hope that you realize things don’t always stay the same. You’re alive for a reason, so don’t take away that reason. You might not see it not but that means it hasn’t happened yet, so hang in there.
Hello, my name is Lila. Im 15 and i have overdosed 5 times on ibuprofen and other meds…the first time was only 25 pills, made me sick but nothing bad. the second time i took 40, more sick than before, third time i took 80, passed out and didnt remember anything but i didnt die, fourth time i pushed to the limit and took 290…..I was rushed to the hospital where i got my stomach pumped and was put in a mental hospital for attempting suicide which is exactly what i was trying…. just last week i overdosed agian on only 70, it had been over a year since my last one so i tripped out more than i was before….im still alive and well… and yes its true…everyones body can handle different amounts of meds… so yes what might kill one person will not even harm anothers
u only live because you have a purpose in this world you need to forfill
what a kind thing to say, and so true zach.

Hey Wrestler119,
I agree with u, and I was always the one telling this to everyone and being the strong one, but they finally broke me (my parents and their problems), I don’t know what to do, but overdose sounds like a good idea right now I don’t want to die, because I will be setting a bad example for my siblings, but I can’t take this anymore, I have had to take care of my family (emotionally) since I was five I lost my childhood. And now I am diagnosed with a Stomatization disorder meaning I am in pain all the time but there is no cure, I had always been strong focusing on the good but the bad caught up with me. Please can u help me?
Hey lost7… I don’t know if wrestler 119 has replied to you or if you will see this anytime soon. i googled “overdose of ibuprofen” becuz i was thinking about doing it tonight to make the pain go away and i stumbled upon all of these stories. I know that attempting suicide would be such a selfish thing for me to do right now but i want the pain to go away. I’m willing to email with you and talk to you if you are interested. I would like to pray for you as well. Please reply if you are interested.
Hey Jackie,
I know I am on the same page, I know it is selfish and wrong, but I am so broken down right now and yeah I would love to talk to you, because I need someone to talk to
Hey Jackie, I agree with you, It is wrong and selfish, but don’t do anything please. And I would love to talk to you email me at nozachka7atyahoo.com it won’t let me add the at sign so.
my email is swtkiki_06(AT)hotmail.com. i have sent you an email.
for anyone else who happens to read this and is looking for a last ray of hope, i would love to talk to you and pray for you. please email me.
I’d like to share a poem, that I wrote a while back, it has helped me realize the truth, even when it felt like I was spiraling downward.
The Unknown – A Journey
by Poizhan
I only wish you could
See things through
The clarity of my mind
At this point in time.
I know that everything will
Be alright in the end
I don’t fear death
As much as I once did.
I feel like I’ve kissed it
And felt its warm embrace
It is so comforting
I could swear I heard a voice.
A sweet lovely voice that said
Life is the ultimate journey
You travel the world
And through this gain much.
Becoming full of knowledge
While gaining wisdom
And growing spiritually
Realizing your dreams.
Life is also the long journey home
Wrought with the perils and
Nightmares awaiting only in the
Darkest corners of one’s imagination.
Death is the moment you realize that
You never left home at all and when you
Look around you, you begin to understand
That all you were ever looking for was yourself.
Now…That really doesn’t matter,
You’ve transcended the trivial needs and wants
Of human existence…
And death wraps you in that knowledge.
That pain, both mental and physical
Are both part of the journey
That makes the return home
All the more worthwhile.
And now that you are home, safe…
In your warm blanket nothing can hurt you,
You are so safe…so warm…so at peace,
And ready to be born anew.
With the full knowledge that…
Life is the journey we all choose to make.
Without knowing the good and the bad…
How could we ever choose to make it?
hey, this is a really helpfull
site… i keep on overdosing
… nothing dangerouse… like
10 pills at a time… it’s not that i whant
to die its just that i whan the
world around me to stop.
you all sound like you’ve had tough
lives … but nothing that bad ever
really happend to me so i
don’t feel like i have a right
to be this selfish.
the only reason i’m not
in hospital or dead is my
little brother… i couldn’t do that
to him.
but what if forget that…
it only takes minutes to
overdose… then thats it.
I know this was form a few months ago.. but I
just wanna say that yeah suicide is wrong, i
have tried it before and i still want to do it, thats
never gone away. ive done some pretty stupid
things but i still know suicide and self harm is
wrong and ill always tell people that. but id rather
be dead in some ways
I am not sure of I have stumbled upon an adolescent/teen site or not.
I am a Psychologist (I have a Ph.D) and am doing some research in
relation to some of my patients with co-morbidities (i.e. kidney failure
and bipolar disorder). It angers me to a great extent to see you children
on this site complaining about pain and committing suicide to “take away
the pain”. I am going to slip out of my “Dr. Suit” and tell you a few little
things. First off, what do you know about pain? I know I will get many
canned responses, such as, “I raised my family” or “I was sexually molested”.
I do feel sorry for the individuals that this has happened to, but come now, I
am sure this is not the cases for 99% of you. You are just angst-riddled teen-
agers who needs to channel their creativity and energy into something more
positive. Try painting or simply writing in a journal. If you have physical pain,
which I do not see most of you having unless you have a birth defect, then
see a pain management physician who specializes in pediatrics. Yes, you are
a pediatric patient until you are over the age of 18. If you are “pained”
emotionally, see a counselor. You do not even have to see a Psychiatrist or
a Psychologist, such as myself, you can simply talk to your school counselor.
That is actually what I was before I became an Addictions Specialist. Now, for
personal experience. I was in a car accident on the way to my Senior Prom. I
am only in my 30’s, so it was only back in the 90’s. I had back surgery before
my 27th birthday. My neurosurgeon removed 2 of my own discs, replaced
them with cadaver discs (dead people’s discs, to put it in your terms), he then
placed a rod on either side of my spine (2 rods total), each one was over a foot
long, drove 6 screws into my vertebrae to stabilize them, then to finish it off,
he put a caging device round it all and a plate on a part of it. Let’s talk about
pain. I live in it everyday. I do not take painkillers as I am on a double
transplant list (kidney and liver) due to childhood illnesses and I cannot have
anything that is in the medicine (i.e. acetaminophen or Ibuprofen). I
periodically have to go on dialysis and that’s not fun. 6 hours in a chair x 3
times a week. I could be depressed if I wanted to and I was when I was in
junior high and high school. I thought – this isn’t fair, why me?! But you know
what? I rechanneled that rage and went to college. i was originally a pre-med
major to be a Trauma Surgeon, but I couldn’t be on my feet that long because
of my back, so I switched my major to Psychology. I was accepted to all of my
top pick colleges and had several scholarships that paid for everything with
some left over for pocket money every month. I even had 1 scholarship that
paid just for my books every semester – that one was from band/orchestra -
and I got it playing Beethoven on the saxophone! No easy thing to do with
no piano accompianist! It only took me 8 years to get my Doctorate (Ph.D)
and I haven’t looked back. Now, I help others who have a wide array of
addictions, from painkillers, heroin, alcohol up to Internet addiction and even
gambling addiction. I even have 2 sex addicts in therapy. In closing, life has
too much to offer. If you are considering suicide, then you are just a coward
in my book, afraid of life and what it has to offer. It offered me a great career,
a wonderful, loving husband and two beautiful children. I challenge you to
step up to the plate and not be a coward.
Emerson once wrote: “There is no reason for suicide. Suicide is reason
enough”. It means suicide is senseless. If you commit the act, then there
is nothing more to it. Close the book, no more chapters to go.
Dr. D
Thank you!!
Your blog really spoke to me!
I have been through alot in my life, both parents mental illness,
physical and mental heath problems myself. Sexual abuse, then found out i couldn’t have children. No money ect ect…
But i decided to return to study and i’m studying to be a nurse
and life is not easy but it’s worth having.
Life is a challenge, it’s not the movies!
So many people i know have bought into the whole thing that life can be perfect and i can have everything, it’s a lie. Life is an upward struggle, and the best things are the things you work for. The best times are in the midst of the pain because you choose to see them and be thankful for them despite of the bad or difficult things that are happening.
Love to all because the truth is that love never fails.
And to everyone who is talking about taking this or that!!!
every action has an opposite an equal reaction. Meaning don’t be fooled you are damaging your body whether it hits you now or in 10 years when you have grown to enjoy life (hopefully your still alive) then the damage will have been done. There is no turning back then, and trust me you do not want that. no matter how much pain you have there is always a way, always. Find someone to help you, to truly love you, it’s not easy but it’s worth the wait and the energy. And when i say love i mean real love not lust ect. friendship love i.e. trust, honesty, kindness, willing to put you first and you doing the same ect.
Dr. D
How dare you call someone considering suicide a coward!
You are a self-righteous hack as far as I am concerned. I feel sorry for your patients.
PhD. or not – you don’t seem to have a grasp of what suffering from a mental illness is like.
True, there are plenty of people (especially teenagers) who think breaking up with their boyfriend/girlfriend is reason enough to end it all.
But, I have suffered with severe clinical depression for as long as I can remember. I was cutting myself as early as 12. I’ve been hospitalized 4 times.
I’ve been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder – of course, I didn’t know all that when I was just a teenager.
In fact, as a teenager, my parents were told I was just seeking attention. Bullshit – I was trying desperately to live…to get help.
Some of the people on this site might be wondering how many pills can I take without killing myself, but enough to show my parents, my doctors, someone that I’m in pain. Sometimes “acting out” in this way is the only way adults will take teenagers seriously. Case in point – YOU.
Do not dare call me a coward. I have been fighting to stay alive and live since I was a child.
I fought my way though school earning a BA degree – even had to take a semester off after I overdosed on acetaminophen and was subsequently hospitalized.
I tried working for years until a situation at work caused me to have a mental breakdown. I’m now on disability.
The likelihood of my life ending in suicide is high. Of course, I would rather be happy and die of old age. Suicide isn’t always a choice. For those with mental illness, suicide is often carried out during the depths of a depressive episode – when thoughts are not coherent.
As I’ve described a snippet of my life story, remember it started as a child – 12, 13 years old.
Do NOT dismiss children and teenagers!!
To Teens & other depressed folks,
For those teens who may be wondering what happens when you take too much over the counter meds… I used to take 10 to 15 at a time. Once I became so sick I threw up while driving! I took 20 Tylonel and told my mom. My stomach was pumped in the ER and I was hospitalized. My sister had a friend who took a bottle of Tylonel along with alcohol. She woke up to find she’d been vomiting blood. She ended up needing a liver transplant (and was lucky to get one). Over dosing is dangerous.
If you are depressed and need help, this is what you must say to an adult. Do not just say you are depressed or you will be dismissed like Dr. D just did. Tell your guidance counselor or your doctor that you are depressed and have thoughts of hurting or killing yourself. This statement can not be dismissed – action must be taken.
It’s scary. There are times you will regret your decision to ask for help. But you really have no other option. If you suffer from depression, you need help. You deserve help.
Visit NAMI.org
They’re on Facebook too.
It isn’t easy, but you are not alone.
im sorry ,that was too long to read….
I stumbled across this website and your advice is the first sensible thing I’ve read.
***If you are thinking of commiting suicide or acting out in any way then you need to go to your local doctor and tell them “I have suicidal thoughts and tendencies – I am in danger of killing myself – I need help”, and then don’t leave the practice until the both of you have discussed and taken definitive steps towards helping you.***
I cannot imagine a psychologist, namely Dr D, being in any way successful with such an inflated sense of self-importance. Dr D is clearly using this site to feel better about him/herself rather than genuinely helping anyone. I would very much doubt the qualifications of any doctor who needs to tell you they have a PhD. It’s important to offer advice in conjunction with trying to listen to how the other person feels, rather than offering advice which invalidates their experience of pain. Each person’s reaction to unpleasant/painful stimuli is unique, and therefore each person’s decision to take their life is also a very personal one. It is of little help to say “I’m in more pain than you”, when perhaps you are better at coping with physical and emotional pain than someone younger or less schooled than you are.
Robert Frost once said “The saddest thing in life is that the best thing in it should be courage”. The courage to live for tomorrow, a tomorrow blessed by those we love and who love us xxx
i agree. i came on this site for help and
his sa on people … teens being
self absorbed just made me
feel crap about myself.
i permanently want to die at the
moment and its not just teenage
angst….
i now see a councellor and although
it initially made everything worse
i feel like i will be able to leave
this chapter of my life in the past
one day.
if your reading this then please trust
me when i say that asking for
help will relieve you of some tension.
when you overdose or hurt yourself
in another way you are releasing pressure
and that is very important.
a councellor will not tell you to stop.
they will just try and help you
to find another path. it is sooo scary
but please … take this risk with me.
I agree!
calling someone a coward if they commit suicide is easily understandable because it takes more courage to kill yourself then it does to actually live life to its extent
Actually, Dr. D is right. He’s telling it like it is. He didn’t say ALL who do that are asking for attention or don’t suffer from a mental illness, but it’s true that a huge number create those illnesses and actions themselves. They need to stop living in the “I have a mental illness” and “I hate my life” state, because truly that is what determines whether you are going to self hard or commit suicide yet.
And before you tell me that I don’t understand what it’s like, I’ve been physically abused, lonely, depressed, and I have gone through all of the stages. I know how it feels, but I got through it. I couldn’t have let myself stay in such a state only partially hoping someone will rescue me for it, and telling myself I “tried my best” when in reality I didn’t until I actually pushed myself and got through it.
Not all people who kill themselves are cowards, but many are. They are going through pain, but they are running away from it and not trusting those who tell them that things will get better. They aren’t giving it 100% to get through it.
How can you be a psychologist! I am an undergraduate and am appauled at your comments. You should know people dont choose to be this way. Just because you’ve been through allot doesnt mean everyone else should be as strong as you. If you want to go anywhere with your degree then maybe you should try to understand people a little better you obviously have no idea. I think maybe you should change profession as this obviously isnt your natural field.
An undergraduate studying psychology*
I just read the comment by mentally ill and she is spot on. It makes me feel sick that you’ve studied psychology and you still dont understand. Did you listen or take ANYTHING in whilst studying?! Mental disorders are not a choice! If you’d had the life allot of the people on here have had i’m not sure you would be sitting their with your lovely life with your lovely family and calling them cowards.
I apologize in advance for any grammatical or spelling mistakes you encounter, I was in a rush.
I find your comment to be extremely ignorant and am amazed to hear it coming from a doctor. Your statement is based on a very outdated way of thinking. Depression is not a choice, it is a chemical imbalance. People with such an imbalance are more prone to Depression than others. While this does not mean they will definitely suffer from the disease they are certainly more vulnerable. Of course not all people who have Depression are genetically prone but most likely suffer from situational depression, possibly do to the loss of a loved one or after undergoing a traumatic experience. I suspect you only take this stance because you feel you are brave and have suffered through a hard time and are now spiteful of those who you believe to be weaker than you, your thought process being “well if I can do it they should suck it up and be able to do it too.” You have built up a lot of anger hence the use of the word “coward.” Unfortunately your spite has resulted in supporting a prejudice that surrounds people suffering with a depressive disorder. Depression is a disease, not some petty thing teenagers conjure up because they are bored. People suffering from suicidal thoughts and depression do not need to be told they are cowards but rather seek to be understood and to find something in life to cling on to. In your response you describe such people as being selfish, however if their life revolves around staying alive for one person just so they don’t feel pain doesn’t that make the other person selfish? Also your statistic stating that 99% of people suffering from suicidal depression have undergone no trauma is incredibly false. It is shown to be 87 to 98% of people suffering from depression are also victims of mental illness. From that number 30 to 50% of those people have suffered due to their own genetics which play a main factor in developing suicidal ideations and morbid preoccupations. In the United States 37% of women have been physically or sexually abused by the time they are 21(The Tech newspaper). Out of those people the majority will suffer from depression and possible suicidal thoughts (CNN Health). Your statement clearly proves your lack of knowledge for your current field and your statistical analysis only further demonstrates your lack of qualifications. I also suspect you weren’t serious about being a surgeon and have used your back as an excuse as to why you did not become one. In such a statement you also appear to be using false anger to gain sympathy. It is very clear from your post you are in denial and use your injury as an excuse as to why you cannot perform certain tasks. I would in fact have pitied you if I had not found out you were a psychologist who has been peddling destructive statements to his patients an act which I find incredibly infuriating and only serves to validate already reoccurring thoughts about their own sense of worthlessness. If I am 16 years old and already have a better grasp on depression, you should seriously reconsider your field and maybe seek help from a doctor of your own.
Dr. D,
It is nice to know that your life turned out so well, and you are probably an inspiration for many. But I don’t feel that you are doing some of us justice when you call us cowards for feeling this way. It is wrong to compare ones pain to anothers. Physical and emotional pain are two completely different things and I would advise you to not push people down and make them feel worse about themselves when they are at this piont in their lives. You could very well unknowingly cause someone to be pushed too far. I don’t want to see that happen. So please try to be a little more mindfull of your words and how they can affect people emotionally. Thank you.
Mia
How can you advise others, in a manner so patronizing, and spew nonsense about not knowing pain? Pain is individual, depression hurts, eating disorders hurt, other mental disorders which lead teenagers to feel the need to commit suicide hurt. So woop woop for you. Sitting on your high horse of condescension while exclaiming that we are simply “angst ridden” is not going to treat patient, it’s not going to make you a great psychologist… just another human being who can’t empathize enough to stop, reflect and do something helpful.
Way to be condescending
you are a prick. how dare you comment on anyone’s experiences without knowing what they have actually gone through. it disgusts me that you are a medical professional.
I would just like to publicly announce that i have less belief in this story than the ones where people have claimed to kill themselves! I’m one of many who have taken large doses of all types of legal and illegal and frequently self medicate with several of both variations of drugs so i can understand completely, both sides of the arguements.
The one thing that annoyed me about this rather ‘over-the-top’ post is that there is no need whatsoever to start with such disrespect for these people and although you don’t feel the need to push the limits, it doesnt mean you have the right to talk to them as if they are children and almost ridicule their deepest insecurities.
If, which i sincerely doubt, you are actually a real doctor in the real world then i would like to say that you have to be the most obnoxious and patronising unprofessional medical ‘Expert’ i have ever come across. The Psychology of the situation alone says that you are handling the situation in such a way that you will only exacerbate the problem thus you’re sole purpose on this blog is to push the ones suffering that little extra towards doing it!
i agree
well i don’t know how YOU did it but just because you have the courage to get over depression doesn’t mean
evry1 does. do you even remember what it’s like feeling pointless and hopeless?? like at evry turn are people who stomp you down and you cry bitter tears at night because your parents just blame you for EVERY SINGLE THING that goes wrong. and i mean every one.
Dr. I’ve got my Ph.D,
You are cruel. These people are reaching out to each other in hopes to understand why. You want to call teens or people cowards when you’re a “psychologist” and your job is to help people? You’re only making things worse. Just because you have a Ph.D doesn’t mean you know everyone’s life story. I know that what you say is just going to make people more upset and lower their self esteem because you called them a coward for thinking of doing things. What you don’t understand is that this helps people to be able to talk about how they are feeling and share their story to tell others it’s not the way to go and there are things to look forward to in life. You are just some smug, ignorant jerk to lower someone’s self-esteem even more just by calling someone a coward. You obviously need to go back to school or you went to school way too long ago to understand how the world works in this current time!
I suffer from depression and anxiety disorder and am having terrible health problems. The thought of suicide has crossed my mind, but only fleetingly. I have been molested, I have been homeless, I have been verbally, emotionally and physically abused. And I am only 19! But I would never actually kill myself. Not because I think it is cowardly, but because I am too indecisive to make such a permanent decision and I believe it is the most selfish act one can commit. Also I believe if there is an afterlife, committing suicide will not be the road to salvation (whether it be heaven or some other kind of afterlife). I watched a movie called “Franklyn” and in it was a girl who would videotape her suicide attempts and always call the paramedics before she actually tried, just to piss her mother off for never admitting what her father had done to her. In the movie a man told her that the most important thing about suicide isn’t the people you leave behind, but the people you haven’t met yet. That was something that I had never thought about. You have no idea what and who your future holds. Don’t cheat yourself out of the experience simply because you are having a hard time now. Life has so much to offer, and I know its hard seeing people with everything handed to them, and it causes you to wonder why you got handed a life full of obstacles. Its only because you are strong enough to handle it. Write a book or something, do something that makes you happy whether it be writing, painting, dancing, ANYTHING. Take care of something, and you will see how much meaning your life truly has. Every person in this world has someone that cares about them even if it doesn’t feel like it.
what happens to you if you taken 10 tablets ?
varies from person to person
Thank you wrestler119 for sharing your story with Lila. I am a mother and I would want someone to talk to my child if he needed help, and felt that he could not talk to his father or myself. Lila also if you ever need someone to chat with you can also email me. Your life is worth more than you will ever know.Good luck
Audrey

chest pain and i did it cus my and my ex were having some hard times and i just wanted to harm myself to see if she would pay
attention and she did but now i overdose on these pills that are 500 mg each and i took two of them cus now we broke up
again and she said she didnt love me and etc. so i tried to hurt myself many times and now she finally doesnt give a fuck
Hi Lila… Is there a way we can talk privately?? I am a 16 year old girl and i have recently taken 15 ibuprofens… Can we please talk??
Hey I am 16 too, I would like to speak to you asap. if you could
comment back and we’ll get in touch thanks.
hi, im 16. i overdosed on ibuprofen when i was 14.
right now im in serious pain all the time, my lower back and my
side.
i did tell my mom what i did.
and we havent made an appointment with the dr. yet.
however, just because it didnt do anything to you then,
dont meen it wont fuck yu up later.
Tell someone about the pain. it might not even have anything to do with the ibuprofen. And if it does, it must be treated.
If you are worried about money for hospital bills, if you ignore it and wait a few years, you could find yourself in the ER or something. You will have to go into debt or pay so much money if you don’t have health ins. There are better health care options for minors. If there is something serious to be taken care of, there will be more sffordable programs for someone your age.
I am sure it is nothing THAT serious. But it could be something that becomes a bigger problem. So tell your mom, go get a check up… and they will do something to make the pain go away – in the healthy way (not just masking the pain with otc pain-killers)
I wish you well. You are young. Take care of yourslef now, and when you are my age (31) you will be so happy you did! (All us older folk wish we could have that young energy back!)
Oh – I am sorry… I thought you said you did not tell your mother. Please take care!
i am about to take 74 400mg ibuprofen
will that kill me?????
Probably
i took 40 of tylenol and i felt like i was dying.
my body felt numb! everything around me’felt like it
couldnt touch me. an hour after i took them i
coldnt take it anymore. too much pain but relaxed
at the same time. i told my mom and she called
11 immediately. i hope everyone real8izes
that pills are a very big concern. and it can change yur
life, wether you live or die!
You do not have to go to a regular doctor’s office if you cannot afford to. Any
emergency room in the country has to accept you regardless if you can pay
right then, or not. If you are a minor, then you have to have an adult (your
guardian) with you. Their should be a financial counselor there that you can
speak with after you are seen that help you find financial assistance. If you
are a minor, then every state has a Medicaid program for individuals under
the age of 21. Also, Medicaid offers dental coverage on minors under the age
of 18 at no charge. you just have to be financially eligible. Your guardian/
parent(s) would need to show proof (i.e. # of person’s living in the home,
tax return documents, financial statements, rent receipts, childcare receipts,
etc.). I hope this helps. If you want to try to get Medicaid coverage on your
own, you simply just need to contact your nearest Social Security Office. You
can make an appointment at their office, or, in some cases, complete a
telephone interview. It is that easy. Good luck.
Dr. D
Dr. D,
I am a recovering addict. 10 1/2 years clean. I love all that you shared, thank you.
It is straight forward, honest, and truthful. The problem with the world is
people can’t handle the truth anymore. Keep on speaking it!
I know this is really random, but if you are having pain in your back area and to the side where your kidneys are located, it might be a kidney stone. But you should really get it checked out. I went to the doctor last year explaining my pain. They did a CT scan and found nothing. I went back a couple months ago for a regular check up and explained the pain was still happening. I passed a kidney stone last week. I am beyond angry that I paid to have a CT scan done and they said nothing was wrong. That figures. HANG IN THERE, THOUGH!!!
are you serious, how many milligrams each pill? cus i have the 600mg and i took 6, i feel good but some buzzkilling ass fool posted on yahoo that the effects are in the long run…….so am i trippin or am i gonna be just fine.
ok, all of you who have taken that many ibuprofen
are idiots. for one thing, that specific medication
will most likely NOT make you overdose and die right
away, you may not even notice the signs of damage
for years.. but you have DEFINATELY shortened your
life span greatly. you have guaranteed that you will
have a slow, painful, and early death. ibuprofen causes
liver failure. even people who dont take that many at
a time, who take the recommended dose regularly, usually
end up with liver failure. if you drink, that chance is
doubled. i know all this not only because i’m in medical
school, but also from common sense. one more pill or
drink can send your organs into oblivion. WHY would
you fools want to harm your own bodies this way?
if you want to kill yourself, at least do it quickly! not that
i am saying you should. but fuck, if you’re this stupid,
maybe you should. you wanna trip? eat some fuckin
mushrooms, idiots. you are quickly destroying your
bodies from the inside out. worse than cigarettes,
worse than anything! medications are fuckin BAD for
you. even at the recommended dose. it is not natural.
Michelle, as much as your rant was directed, I fear I have to clear up a few misconceptions you
stated in your post. Do not take this too personally, but I know you are not in medical school. I
know, because I was. We (any form of medical student, past or present) do not take the stand
that you have chosen to take. We do not berate patients/citizens for their choices, we educate,
then offer healthier choices. You stated, “worse than cigarettes, worse than anything!
medications are fuckin BAD for you. even at the recommended dose. it is not natural.” NO
physician would say this, unless they are a Doctor of Homeopathy and that is not a “real” doctor.
An HP (Homeopathic Physician) gets ther education and license off from the Internet. Medications
are needed in many different ways and YES, they ARE natural. Aborigines and Egyptians used to
chew on the bark of certain trees for analgesic effects (pain relief). That is where we get some of
of OTC meds. Morphine came from the poppy plant. Even the illegal drug heroin is derived from the
poppy plant and synthesizes in the human brain into morphine. I am sure you would know that if
you were truly in medical school, but, like I previously stated, I am sure you are just obloviating.
Also, Ibuprofen CAN cause liver damage, but you are more than likely thinking about
acetaminophen (Tylenol). It is more destructive to the liver and causes hepatic comas with
intoxification, which usually has an onset from acute acetaminophen overdose. This in turn is one
of the main causes for liver transplants in the new millenium. Especially in the median range of 18-
35 year-olds. Sad, but true. Usually it is from painkiller abuse with the drug mixes. When you stated
that Ibuprofen causes liver failure, I am 100% SURE you were thinking of the base ingrediant of
Tylenol. Ibuprofen is more destructive on the KIDNEYS, usually over a long term period, or chronic
state. One last thing before closing. If you WERE are medical student, your grammer, punctuation
spelling and phrasing style would be more refined. It has not been that long since I took the
MCAT (Medical College Acceptance Test) and you do have to have a high degree of understanding
of the English language. This also means using a Thesaurus every now and again. I will wait for
you to look that up in the Dictionary…….The, saur, us. Got it, okay, let me continue. You have
absolutely slaughtered our beautiful language and then dare to confabulate about being in medical
school. I take offense to that! (By the way, confabulate means “to fib” or “to lie extensively”. Even
if I had never been in med school, I am sure that I could point out that you have never even been
near one of the cadaver labs. So, please, if you do want to go to medical school, start studying,
you have a LONG way to go before you get there!
Dr. D
Dr. D…
I’m not going to question the validity of your history/education, and whilst I find your style of communication perhaps a little condescending I can’t for one single moment blame you. It is so infuriating reading the majority of these comments…
I stumbled upon this site to convince my friend that her friend who overdosed on five ibuprofen is going to be fine. Never before have I seen such an amalgamation of attention seekers who will not listen to logic.
If people are [b]TRULY[/b] suicidal at the age of 15 (as the average seems to be around here) then what single reason is there NOT to see a counselor? Why? The only reason I can possibly think is because you don’t want to die, but instead have the badge to say you tried. It’s so sad because there are really people out there who need that help but won’t be noticed over the people who make nasty looking cuts on themselves in places that they know will be obvious or by swooning around talking about how many pills they swallowed (And looking at the list, the worst most will get is diarrhea, sweating and vomiting).
I do understand it though… [i]truly[/i]… and suicide is no laughing matter. I’m sure there may even be a case or two who visit this tweenpage who really do need help (and who really shouldn’t be afraid to seek it out, I know getting the branding of “mental illness” is terrifying, but it really doesn’t have to be that way… sometimes it is just help you’ll get, there doesn’t have to be any negative repercussions). What I will say is that all the attention seekers (and some I worry have no idea they are), are just being destructive to themselves, their family and the people who really need help.
As a last note, I implore anyone who is seriously considering suicide to seek out help… I think anyone who really DOES want to end it all would anyway. And I implore all of you who see it as a badge of honor to find a new way to get that attention you so crave so much like… I don’t know… doing something selfless or acheiving something worthwhile… perhaps even learning a new talent that can entertain everyone… hell become a stripper if you really want everyone to be gawking at you.
Some nameless guy
Hey, i appreciate your comments to DR. D he was infuriating me too. But with regards to the last section As a last note, I implore anyone who is seriously considering suicide to seek out help… I think anyone who really DOES want to end it all would anyway’. Im not sure. I’ve been wondering this myself but the attention isnt just a adolscent way of trying to be ….not sure how to word it but ‘craving attention’ as you say. In my opinion there are a few reason; 1. to show to those close to them that there really is something very very wrong and they need help. That things arnt just bad, they’re really really bad. 2. Suicide is a huge and emotional decision and those who are actually on the verge of doing it need help making that decision, to cry to someone and have a serious talk about why they want to do it.
But thats just my opinion.
Another opinion of mine is that Dr. D cant be a real psychology graduate as he knows nothing about human emotion.
Ha! To aaaaaaa I agree with the very last sentence of yours
Great to point that out because I agree 100%!
I understand your point. I am 16 and suffering from suicidal depression. The reason I was not in therapy till I was 15 is because I came from an abusive household and my parents refused to take me seriously as they equate people suffering from depression, with being weak and pathetic. My confession actually led to more abuse, which escalated into severe molestation conducted by my father, while my mother stood in the same room laughing and asking if I was sorry yet. Not everyone has the ability to get help and some that are, are plagued by the stigma of the disease and live in denial. As for cutting I certainly do not use it as an attention maneuver. I mostly cut and burn my forearm because for some reason I find it most comforting to do it there. Most of the time when I cut, I do so while in a dissociative state, during episodes of extreme depression, as a means of preventing myself from committing suicide, or as a way to punish myself, as I bare a lot of self hatred and humiliation. A few months ago while in a dissociative state I tried to amputate my arm with a kitchen knife, however after seeing myself in the mirror covered in blood I snapped out of it and took myself to the hospital where I received two layers of stitches. While I understand your statement was not a personal attack on me, part of this post is also meant for therapeutic purposes, as a method of revealing my secret. I do however want to emphasize my point that not all self injurious wounds are meant to get attention, and not all people who attempt suicide are doing it to wear a badge of honor. Before I attempted my suicide it didn’t even occur to me to explore the option of a mental hospital. I just wish you would look at the situation by all sides and wait till you past judgement.
hey molly, i’m meg… i’m 17 years old and
i have started to self harm. i am very sad for
you. my parents are there for me but i do
not live with them .. i whent away at the age of 11

i still go home in the hollidays.
i am so sorry that you have to live through that
insane trauma… never think your not imprortant
and please never amputate your limbs.
we need to realise that our bodies carry us.
no matter how much you whant to detache your self
from the pain that has been inficted on you.
it is not your fault and it is not you bodies fault
either.
you and your body need to start working together
to get through this.
if you read this then maybe you can send me
and email.
i would feel honored to help you through this
and maybe you coould help me in a small way
i cut myself and overdose everyday and although
i whant to stop it is the only way i know how to
deal with the pain.
thank you.
sorry my email address is
frasme at millfieldschool.com
couldn’t do the at singe..
The MCAT is a multiple-choice examination, you do not need a comprehensive understanding of the English language to pass it.
On another note, as a Psychologist (?) do you really need to be so condescending and defensive in replying to comments? Futher, you can’t really critique Michelle when you referred to people wanting to kill themselves as “cowards” in a previous post – it’s somewhat hypocritical. Everyone thinks that they can give advice, but very few people know how to couch that advice. I.e. it’s not only what you say, it’s also how you say it that counts xxx
i agree with you, im 16 & when i overdosed everything changed.
i cant eat certain stuff. 1 week after gettin out of the hospital
i started drinking and partying, bad idea!
2 whole weeks i had serious stomache pain.
my back would hurt too, i ignored it for 2 whole weeks
but then one night i couldnt take it. i had a lot of fever,
my stomache felt like it was burning && i felt really weak &
sore. i had to go to the ER where i found out i had a serious
infection && a liver failure. now im on medication.
Wow, Michelle…are you sure you should be going to medical school with that kind of attitude and language? Wouldn’t it suck if your instructors found out you were talking like that to teens in need when you’re suppose to help people? Hm…that’s kind of sad.
i hope ur right bc i took 40 asprin yesterday…. my
ears sounds like a continuous hearing test kind of like
a mild mono-ringing in my ears… my stomach hurts a
little…. when people talk it almost sounds like a faint
echoeing going on… my wife said that one of her
patience took 36 and 3 days later died from liver failure…
im definately not going to the dr bc im not wanting a
baker action put upon me…. so will just see whats
happens… im on day two….
why would you do that to urself ?Ur only 15 years old
you have ur whole life a head of u?
thats really sad ): im heart broken just reading that ):
I hope you realize that even though you feel fine physically now, your kidney is going to be shot in a few years. Killing yourself would be pointless, and you aren’t being very smart for not learning from it. You’re alive for a reason so make the most of it. If you live in this “there’s nothing for me here and I need to die” state, nothing will get better. It’s all in the mind, and you need to use yours to change your outlook on life. When you can do that, you’ll see how beautiful life is.
As much of a lie as it sounds.. I have literally taken an entire fresh (so i just pulled off the silver seal) bottle of ibu, then gone to bed (suicide attempt). I woke the next morning with the worst stomach ache and went to school and had a “normal” day. Ibuprofin is a funny drug– you can actually take more of it than suggested on the bottle. Just (even for the recommended dose) drink a LOT of water (I didn’t, I wanted to die).
Oooh, and I shoould probably mention that tylenol and ibu are different drugs… tylenol is FAR more serious with less of a dose. So… don’t go around saying tylenol when other are talking about ibuprofin. Trust me, i was hospitalized for a tylenol OD. I’ve spoken with health professionals about this topic.
I took about 20 tablets called mandafen which I think is another type of ibuprofen. At the time it was a suicide attempt after arguing with my mum because I had far too much to drink. Immediately after taking them I regretted it and told a friend what I had done straight after it. She said I would be fine they would just make me sleep and I wouldn’t overdose. After she told me this I went to my bed and slept until the next morning. I woke up with a horrible hangover either because of the drink or because of the tablets and I had terrible pains in my stomach plus was sick which was watery and yellowish. So Overall i took 20 mandafen and was fine. Anyway, will doing this have a long term affect on me or if nothing happened will i be fine. And I agree with Zach, I believe that everybody has a purepose in life to be fullfilled once it has been fulfilled you die and until you fulfill this purpose you’ll stay alive and I believe that is the reason anybody who attempts suicide survives because they have not yet fullfilled their purpose in life.
@Nik
There is no purpose to life.
If there was, then I guess all the premature deaths in infants mean that those infants had no purpose to life but exist for a moments (minutes, days, etc.) right?
I agree.
I’ve lived in US for about 8 years and what a depressing place that is! I’ve lived in many countries.
I think its the entire capitalistic attitude/management/culture that brings itself down on its knees. No one talks to the other (termed self reliance). This is completely against the nature of human being. A human being by nature wants to be loved, cared, share the pain (halves when shared) /happiness (doubles when shared) etc.
People who attempt suicide, I personally think, are the extremely selfish people who don’t care about others. They can do so many things for the betterment of others like less-fortunate people than they are.
To everyone trying to commit suicide, please, wait for a month or 2 more to save enough money and visit poor countries like China, India, Nepal, Africa etc. and you’ll realize what life is, what friendship is, what family bonding is and what love is. There may not be enough money there, but there is an abundant love and affection.
Just move from where you are. Disconnect with everyone you know (for a while), and get out of there! If you are going to school, stop going there, if you have a job, wife, doesn’t matter. Just move! One thing, NEVER give up!
Life’s very very beautiful in every way. You just have to channel life properly.
Yes, there are problems in life, disappointments in life, shame in life, unhappiness in life, disrespects, feeling useless etc.. Everyone has them to a certain extent, but they are all what life is filled with.
I hate people thinking their life is a waste. So many things you could do.
You commented previously:
“No one talks to the other (termed self reliance). This is completely against the nature of human being. A human being by nature wants to be loved, cared, share the pain (halves when shared) /happiness (doubles when shared) etc.”
How do you know what the “nature” of man is? This may be the nature of one
person, but is totally opposite for another. The nature of man is to have free
choice, the right to live and sustain him/herself in that life. I am sorry if you
feel that capitalism is a bad thing. You must be from a Communistic/Socialist
country. If so, then you have been brain-washed into believing this and I
feel sorry for you. Capitalism has given America free speech, the right to live
free from the tyranny of government or a monarchy and the right to be as alone
or as loved as one wants to be. The nature of man is subjective; in other words,
it is whatever you want it to be.
Dr. D
You know Dr. D, I have read through these blogs and at first your story inspired me. I thought what an amazing person, so hard working and full of hope.
But it comes across in your blogs that you’re arrogant. What makes you the higher authority, because you’ve had hardship; you’ve not had all, because you’re educated; you don’t know all; because you believe in capitalism; have you seen the World wide damage it’s done.
So I ask myself why? Why would someone like you be like this and all I think is you’re arrogant, and achievements in some areas have lead to your loss of sight in other areas?
“You must be from a Communistic/Socialist
country. If so, then you have been brain-washed into believing this and I
feel sorry for you.”
I mean what kind of comment is this, I’m from Britain and I can see RK’s point, I don’t agree 100% with it but come on what a weak reply. A person of your education can do better.
Are you really a psychologist? What happened did all the understanding fly out the window?
In that long education did you forget about American history, naturally America would be home to Native American’s mainly, no doubt you believe killing them off in the name of development and “capitalism” was natural and good progress. There silence your freedom of speech.
Just a thought, I could be wrong. It won’t be the first time and it sure it won’t be the last.
Exactly what I was thinking. You have a good head on your shoulders Shimona
If Dr. D had any form of training in psychology he/she would realise that RK’s advice is in part right. Homo sapiens are a primate species to whom social bonding and interaction are extremely important. There will always be those who break the mould for one reason or another, but the overall the inclination is to form social groups …it’s what we’ve been doing for half a million years! xxx
Dr. D,
You have got to be the biggest piece of shit I have ever come across. Here people are trying to make some sense out of their life, trying to find someone, anyone who will lend them a sympathetic ear, and you do nothing but belittle them. A true psychologist would never speak to any person who is in such a fragile state of mind this way. Your personal accomplishments or hardships have nothing to do with these people and their problems. If you truly are a psychologist, then I thank God that it is not for people with mental issues like this, for you have the makings of the next Dr. Kevorkian. Instead of getting on here and calling these people cowards and pushing them closer to the edge, how about you just go find the nearest skyscraper, wait for a person who is on the edge, wanting to end it all, and just go give them a push? You may as well, because if I were suicidal and had read your posts, I would find no solace in your words. In fact, it would make me feel even more worthless than before. Get off this site and leave it for people who actually give a shit about others.
Whether you believe something or not doesn’t make it true or false. There is a purpose or should I say many purposes. Sometimes we come back to this planet to fulfill one thing, sometimes a life time. Things are not always easy and that is part of our purposes. When you succeed through those hard times and learn from them a growth happens and you enter another stage and onto something new. Sometimes we need to repeat many lifetimes before we complete our ‘task’ at hand. Believe it or not but you chose to come here, chose your parents and the things that are the hardest for you are the things you are here to learn from and when you do that you will begin to feel a purpose. Like attracts like. Negative attracts negative. Positive attracts positive. So when you find yourself in a state of feeling like a victim of this world, remember YOU are ALWAYS at choice! What do you choose, misery or happiness??
it will cause long term damage. the best thing
you can do to avoid liver failure and failure of other
organs is to seriously NEVER take one more pill
or have one more drink, EVER again. otherwise,
you will experience the consequences later in life.
this is coming from a medical student working to
be a doctor. i know what i’m talking about. my
own mom actually tried commiting suicide with
ibuprofen. nothing happened for a long time.
then, she had a drink.. and her liver failed.
take my advice and take care of yourself. life really
is precious and you’re very lucky compared to 85%
of this world. realize what you’ve got and learn
to appreciate it. if you dont, then use it to help
others who will. drinking does nothing but damage
your body and make you do things that you regret
anyways, so just dont do it. or you could die. and
dont ever take another ibuprofen again. not one
i completely agree with u on the tylenol. i had an overdose just last month and almost died from takin 34 pills and gulp of sour apple pucker…. so ya they r 2 totally different things
yo amelia so have you tried other than legal meds?
That’s good that you’re okay and here to share your story. I know that some people don’t appreciate the story telling and tell us that we just want attention, but it feels nice to have people to talk to about things that have happened.
I’m not one of those everyday gossip bible readers just to let everyone know, I’m not trying to preach to anyone! lol, I just want to help and I want you guys to know that I will pray for you because I know how it feels to just want to give up.
I was in high school and felt like everything was falling apart. (no, DR., I am not a flippin’ teenager) It was a Thursday night and I took 17 tylenol, not ibuprofen, tylenol. I woke up the next morning. I felt fine but waited. I went to school and felt depressed the whole day. It seemed like everyone was saying hi to me and I felt horrible for what I had done. I felt selfish and actually, there was a girl at the lunch table that I was eating at and we were all talking about death and suicide and she said, “Suicide is selfish” I instantly got defensive. Later in the day I felt sick to my stomach. I went to the bathroom and got sick three times and was fine the rest of the day. It was wierd. I had a CT scan done to my stomach and all the organs for side pain a year later. The doctor said all my organs are in perfect shape. I am just thankful that I now know I am happy. Things may not go right for a while, but God has a plan for all of us. If you’re alive, you are supposed to be alive and you have a purpose in life. It may even be to get on here and change someones mind about comitting suicide! Wouldn’t that be a miracle? Everyone, just hang in there and think about the good things in life, even if it seems as if nothing’s going right, just keep thinking positive.
it doesn’t necessarily have to be a suicide, c-dot. sometimes ppl like to screw around. or take as many as it takes to feel better. god don’t get so angry about shit. and no. Half if that can’t kill u. that’s nothin. Try it urself
nigga please.
i’ve taken like 2,000 mgs of ibuprofen, a bunch of diff meds with shit tons of asprin in it and a shit load of cough syrup all at once and the only bad side affect was diarrhea(sp?) but yeah you are quite the ignorant ass hole to be flipping out like that.
Actually, if they are the regular Motrin tablets (200 mg per pill), then they would have ingested 8000 mg of Ibuprofen with 40 pills. If we assume that they were at around an average of 70kg, they took 114.29 mg/kg. If you read the article (which is correct), it points out that toxic effects are unlikely to occur at doses less than 100 mg/kg. 114.29 mg/kg is only slightly higher, and therefore, it is a definite possibility that they could have ingested 40 pills, and still be live. Ibuprofen does not react with the other drugs mentioned. Before you go and rant about someone, make sure you have the scientific facts correct.
dush bag pain killers dont kill you instantly they kil you overtime the kil your liver and kidneys off slowly and painfuly, and you die pretty much slowly and painfully, also taking any overdose on pills from over the counter it gives you 72 hours to get to hospital maximum to have a coal meal (taste like shit) to reverse the effect after 72hours ya fucked and need a liver and kidney transplant if you lucky enough to get one
their wil be long term effects eventually if not treated you wil havve problems in the future wit hyour healt hbecause of you dam stupidity
D-d-d-do you want to call people stupid because they feel like no one can help? Here, I’ll help you fix your errors: “There will be long term effects eventually if not treated. You will have problems in the future with your health because of your damn stupidity.” You wanna be a jerk? I’ll show you jerk. Go back to school and learn how to f-f-f-fucking spell you asshole!
72 hours is not a “magic number”. The half life of medications such as Tylenol and Advil are usually
3-4 hours, respectively, when they plateau in the body, before being metabolized. If you ingest a
large quantity of ANY medications, you can be dead in as early as 6-8 hours. Please do not dispense
erroneous information that can wind up getting someone killed if you do not know what you are talking
about. You do not always need a transplant after an overdose. Once again, your ignorance is not
our bliss. Think about it, you might understand it in a few years, after you have matured some and
have grown a few more bed cells that may synapse at the same time.
Dr. D
Are you actually a real doctor or do you just spend all your time berating others and having a generally condescending attitude towards them?
Anyone with a brain and access to Wikipedia can easily figure out all the information that you’re spitting out like you know something everyone else doesn’t. Newsflash: medical school, your doctorate and everything else about you don’t mean anything if you communicate with everyone the way you’re choosing to on here.
Dr. D,
It’s really a waste of time for me to be commenting on such uselessness but Christopher is correct. You are not GOd and you are only commenting with rage…it seems. It’s surprising that you have time to come on to these websites anyway to comment on teenager’s discussions of their problems, which are not yours! You may have a Ph.D but that means nothing to anybody on this site. You are a terrible person for commenting on here like you have been doing. But I guess we can’t judge you for how you are because we clearly all have problems that we need to address.
you have about 12 hours to get it out of your system but you still wont die for as long as 2 weeks.
and btw im not encouraging overdosing so im not going to say how much (if your really that desperate im sure you could find out on your own) but you have to take ALOT to die and it usually doesn’t work. please if you have suicidal thoughts or just want to talk to someone talk to a counselor, a parent, or a trusted adult. your life is important!
Dr. D, your sarcasm is quite frankly starting to piss me off. Stop being a jerk.
Firstly,well done for getting up them,bout braggin and the possibility of young ones reading and possibly copying such bad behaviour.Sadly though there is a world full of people continually looking for a way to get off,or out of this world,just temporarily to ease their pain or boredom.Also sadly,when people start using meds to get off theybuild a tolerance to certain drugs.I personally kno of this young lady who took 40Nurofen plus tablets over the day,this equals 8000mg of ibuprofen,which is like 7200mg over the max dose recommended for an adult.I have been looking on net to get facts to give to her,as Im terrified for her,thats when I found your comments.Although she didnt die,she will now suffer for the rest of her days as Im positive that her body is going to slowly pack it in over future years.It was a stupid thing to do.It is the most stupid way to consider overdosing yourself.Suicide is never the answer,but there are ways to ease your pain,that wont leave you with long term health problems,u think yr depressed now,wait till your stuck in hospital,tubes hanging out of your body everywhere,and your unable to do anything to ease yr depression then.PLEASE REACH OUT TO SOMEBODY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE YOUR LIFE,seriously,unsuccessful suicide attempts leave you so terribly damaged.
yeaa im 16 and i’ve taken 50 pain pills at once and i was just reallll dizzy and tired
it was a mix of about.. 25 ibuprofen, 10 naproxen, 5 aleve, and 10 tylenol PM. taking that many pills doesnt necessarly mean you DIE.. i didnt have internal bleeding or anything but my blood was VERY VERY thin and i was tired for about 4 days afterwards . how i could tell my blood was thin was because i would brush my teeth and my gums would bleed, and i would rub my nose and it would instantly start bleeding and it WOULD NOT stop . and not everyone takes pills for attention. lots of people lie about it because they’re just that lame. its not good to ‘brag; about it but its good to let other people know the risks of taking pills before they decide to overdose like me 
its not very fun..
Thank you ryann! I agree with everything you said
You’re a smart cookie!
C-dot, you’re stupid. I took over 50 the other night and never went to a hospital. And guess what? I’m obviously still alive. You don’t have to take that many with the intention of dying, you could just take that many so you pass out for a while.
Well, he does say “talk about tripping balls”, which would suggest he did try to commit suicide. cut him some slack, no need to be a tosser.
In the Stoner’s Dictionary
The phrase “Tripping balls” means: To get high or to be high
lol I’m just playin’ with ya!
ok. I have taken 20 Vicadions and havent died. no stomach pumpin im alive and well.. yes was a suicide attempt at which im still trying too figure out.. i have about 3 somas, 1 highly high pain killer, and a few others. im 6;3 so takes alot too put me down and trust me you guys it is all about size and weight. then it plays into the scienve of the body ive tried killing my self a few times i tried speeding my heart up so itd stop and i took ‘ whole bottle of ritlan20mg, ritlan 10mg, adiral 10mg, adiral 20mg. and sorry guys im alive still and never been to the hospital or anything and its NOT a story only FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I believe you! And I’m not being sarcastic either. And you’re right, it depends on the height and weight of a person.
lol calm th fuk down man u no wat u shud do? smoke sum weed #_#
i took two full bottles of advile extra strength last night after jumping in front of a car, and stole seven of my sisters sleeping pills, i woke up today and took 17 ibuprofen and 3 tylenal 500 and an advil extra extra prescribed to my friend, and i am still fine, i say its a myth
hi, i was at a party,. and i got drunk, and i dont no why, but i thought it would be funny to take 20 ibuprofens, and now im scared coz ive looked it up and it seems it has very serious side affects, though i have had none, what should i do, i cant tell my parents, but should i tell my friends?
please dont tell me im stupid because i no, but im really scared, plesase dont have a go at me. i no its not that much, and i do have a history of these things, but i didnt take these to kill myself, i just wanted to see if i could take that many…
Ok.. So I was one of the dumb selfish ones that decided O.D’n was the thing to do… I took about 8 pills that prevented you from puking… then around 15 ib profen and 15 asprin… no im not lying or bullshitting you… its taken me 4 days to be half ass ok… the first and nd days were awful… ringing in my ears… i couldnt hear people talking to me… my head hurt so bad… i wanted to puke but couldnt… it sucked… but i seem to be fine now… other than a headache… if i were going to have some actual BAD side effects like adominal bleeding and ect… would that have already happened? would i already know that?
i took 4 600mg motrins and 20 tylenolls n didnt die…but i was n da hospital for a week tho
ya you didnt die cuz u went to the hospital. just imagine if u didnt go to the hospital. you wouldnt be alive.
i took 20 600mg ibuprofin pills, plus a dayquil and nyquil and 30 pills that i had for stomach pains from a while ago, plus like 40 of another prescription medicine that i had no idea what it was and i’m still here…i got a little high, but that was about it….so yeah there is a way they took all that and didn’t die. k thanks
are you shure it was 20 600mg cus thats a shit load
you are a dumbass. i took 30 and i’m still here. obviously someone can’t read what it says above.
i did it to believe it or not. I thought i was going to die, but i didnt i just woke up with stomach ache. A massive one at that.
didnt kill me, but there was only 60 xtra strength left in the bottle. didnt do anything, just made me feel really emotional..lmao. felt kind of drunk for some reason 2.
holy shit are u for real??????????? wow!!!!!!! thats crazy.. im gonna try it lol hehe not jus playin
YOu are an idiot! to post something like this you have some nerve telling people taking all that stuff is okay. What the Hell is the matter with you???My brother tryed to kill himself when he was 15 with an od of asprin and almost seceded. Get your head out of your ass!!!!
dude i overdosed atempted suicide took 25 thousand mg of ibuprofin man..
Hi
I suffer from severe Depression
And I have to admit by what you said it strikes me as if you came on here to encourage people to take an overdose. I know what its like to go into hospital have discusting charcol shoved down your throat and have your stomach pumped ive been there done that more times then I can remember.
Now all I want to say is that if you seriously took all them tablets you probably wouldnt be alive now to reply back to me and if thats the case i’m sorry it was slow and painful.
haha..i took 34..andd everything up there(the mental home thingy) happened but arghh dont try it again it does something to your liver and you feel soo weak mann and all you can smell is powerful ibroprofin argh and it isnt nice and the worst part is when u vomitt..
it’s HORRIBLE but the mental institution was AWSOME..
andd why did god and jesus come into this subject??
oh and after your friend is better..well jus giv her a card and tell her u’l always be there for her..then she wont feel like everyones against her and(though i doubt it) she’l eventually stop..andd tell her too look ahead, life isn’t that badd(basiacally: LIE) but be ther for her thats the most you rreally can do…and givv chocolates cause there LOVELY!!:P:P haha..if she want ‘em and i think its sweet of u, i kno sumtimes u dunt wanna tell the police cause you friend said no and u jus wanna help the most u cann since you cant tell someone who might take action wich ur friend might not like >_< beent in your friend situation..we;ll i dunt obv know her problems butt..iv hadd mine;)
just be there for her when she needs you.
when i was 14 i took alot too but it was a suicide attemp nd all that happened was i threw up alott nd i was dizzy, tired, and my stomach hurted like hell but i wished i did die
I dont see whyy youu wouldd tell people that look at this that 40 ibuprofen doesnt do anything to youu. Im 15 and i was addicted to ibuprofen after i tore my left quad completly in halff, it got bad enough to the point that i was taking 10 at a time several times a day. The doctor told me i’ll be lucky if my liver hasnt failed by my mid 20s – early 30s. Kids that read your comment will think its “cool” to take alot of otc pain reducers mixed with other things because you make it sound like its nothing and a great experience and the truth is, its not! It causes serious problems for people and has the potential to end lives. Think about what you’re saying and how people will view it before you post idiotic comments like that.
Sam you were very lucky.
I have overdosed, but not on Ibuprofens.
It was mentioned that anybody could get a gastric lavage and I had that done.
I can tell you that it was not fun, nor is the charcoal.
Take care of yourself and anyone else that has overdosed.
I have never overdosed again since I had the gastric lavage and would not recommend anyone to try this
quite honestly, nothing i could say would ever come close to properly addressing the magnitude of the stupidity and irresponsibility you exhibited in your comment.
for a moment, I felt some despair, followed by hope that your friend would realize that you care about her, followed by an irresistable compulsion to slap myself back into awareness.
with a friend like you, someone who would turn to an anonymous web page full of casual visitors, for advice about a potentially life threatening situation, your overdosing friend needs two things: medical advice, and a friend with a mature, sane, and sensible grasp on EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
Please, do yourself a favor, and learn the following phone number: 911. It is short, simple, and useful in situations where someone’s life might potentially be at risk.
Consider this one a ‘gimme’ from the Universe; your friend, likely a drama queen, was not in any real danger (unless she has preexisting medical conditions, though I doubt you would be aware of any, given your seeming lack of knowledge in this area of life)… should you ever find yourself in another situation, where there is immediate danger, consider calling 911.
For example…resisting the urge to Google “I’m being held up. What do I do?” and calling nine eleven (another way of describing it is ‘nine one one’) will save you precious years in recieving advice.
If you don’t want to listen, and I’ll assume that you are a 15 year old female who will not listen to reason, consider this: 911 Cops are cute. LOL ^_^
Talk all you want about stupidity and such. With the name “Jesus” it all becomes a religious factor. How about you try to step yourself down a notch or two from a “god like” feeling to a personable feeling. Show some sympathy and caring. Maybe then people will be more inclined to listen to you. On a web board such as this, people want to hear from other “people” not others who wish to call themselves a messiah or god. Maybe you need to analyze yourself and your own actions before you attempt to fix others……
It’s pronounced ‘hay-zeus’.
Hahahahahaha! I love it.
Your ignorance is blinding. Try looking outside of your own culture once in a while.
Wow, the stupidity of your response is amazingly preposterous. Just, wow. I don’t think the son of God hangs out in internet forums… just for future reference.
did any of you ever consider the fact that jesus is an actual hispanic name..? well i guess ignorance is bliss…
I believe his name is pronouced { heɪˈsus } he is not leaning towards the Messiah role
jesus…you are cute. LOL ^_^
When acting a complete smart-arse, you might as well check your spelling very carefully so as to avoid possible ridicule.
“precious years in recieving advice”
‘I’ before ‘E’ except after ‘C’, my dear.
ya’ll trippin over yourselfs none of ya’ll have done this. btw if you did u would be dead trust me thats how my friend’s dad killed himself.
You want to be a jerk? Here’s a true story. I took anti-freeze. Mixed it in a crown royal glass half way then filled the rest with Pepsi. It was nasty and tasted like syrup. But was my choice. That was around midnight. The next morning, I woke up (ALIVE STILL, Lord I don’t know how) and felt as if the world was on top of me. My brain felt like it was going to explode and as if I had been held upside down the whole night and the blood rushed to my head. I could barely move. My mom came in my room and told me I needed to go to school, (she had no idea) and I screamed at her and told her no. First time yelling at my mom. I fell out of bed and onto the floor and crawled the whole way down the stairs, sliding down a step one at a time. I couldn’t focus and I was drooling, my speech was slurred and I was scared to death. I laid my car keys on the glass table next to the door and told her she could move my car. I crawled back up the stairs and into bed. She didn’t believe me when I told her that I was sick. She left for work and my dad came home from his night shift. He heard me getting sick and had to explain to my mom that I really was sick. I threw up for two days straight and went to school on the third day and was very tired. My first period teacher told me to go home because I looked green. I told him no and went to school. That was the worst feeling I have ever had in my life. I will never do that again. If I get near anti-freeze, I get queezy. But, I had a CT-Scan done and everything is fine. This is not a joke and it is not a lie.
..WOWW..WUTT A BUNCCHH OF QuEERSS..
…WTFF??!!
ALL OF YYUHH NEED A MUTHAFUCKiN LiFE iF ALL YUH THiNK YUH FEEL ALL BADAZZ OVERDOSiN NN SHiTT!!
FOR REALL!!
has nothing to do with feeling badass
Jannette, your comment isn’t to make you feel badass at all I guess.
Fo shizz
Just realised all the effort you put into pressing the capital lock key/shift key for your one sentence.
I’m gonna have to agree with Jess on this one. It has nothing to do with feeling badass. (you mispelled it by the way Jannett). This is where people can talk about what has happened to them and try to help other people. You shouldn’t be a bitch. If you don’t have anything nice to say, shut your big fucking mouth.
i took 100 ibruprofen last week mixture of 200mg & 400mg & ended up in hospital for 2 days ,I had to speak to a shrink to make sure i wasnt at risk from doing it again .Nearly a week later & i still feel like sh*t legs feel very weak & feel like im going to vomit all the time PLEASE DONT DO THIS
hey i got a ? i just took 3 ibuprofen like a half hour ago and 3 more i know it stupid but im in alot of pain, what can that do to me??
so earlier today i took 6 Ib800 and two oxy codones and i have all the signs and symptoms of overdose and my mom will not take me to the hospital what do i do???
I know, I would find a better, more successful way to kill myself, so that I wouldn’t have to go through talking to a shrink. It must have been hell.
Why are you so negative towards talking to “my kind?” Are you afraid we might make you own up to your emotions?
Dr. D
You really just need to stop commenting. During my life, I’ve seen a couple dozen of “your kind.” Some I saw for a couple years, some for a few months, some were merely consults. Some were licensed therapists, some were psychologists, some were psychiatrists, some were social workers. Most did very little to help. Perhaps, because they had an attitude like you. I’m now seeing a wonderful therapist (PhD).
There is great cause to be so negative towards talking to your kind. Many of your kind are completely clueless, pompous twits who think they have all the answers because they passed their exams in college. Guess what? You don’t know squat.
I’ve been severely harmed by more than one therapist. These therapists assume they know what is what. They do not listen. They are judgmental. They are a disgrace to their profession. It is not possible to “own up to your emotions” when you are being belittled by your therapist.
Random, finding a good therapist is NOT easy. It may take years of trying. But it’s worth it once you find him/her. It’s at that point you are able to work toward learning to cope with your emotions.
Oh my gosh. I dont’ know you, but I love everything you just said. Thank you for telling Dr. D how it’s really done
Dr. D,
he’s not talking about your kind. He’s referring to real shrinks. Frankly, I don’t think you’re a shrink. I think you’re one of those people who devoted their lives to becoming a shrink, but never could, and therefore you failed in fulfilling your dreams. In effect, you go around pretending to be a doctor just to make yourself feel better about yourself.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you now are going to reply with a bunch of info and attempt to prove to me that you’re a real doctor, but it’s probably phony so don’t even bother. But, if you are a doctor or a shrink, you’re even more of a failure than if you weren’t. I’m not surprised that you’re on this website if you were. Because you’re so condescending, arrogant, and insulting towards people seeking help on this page, I can’t imagine what you’re like to your patients. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion, which is so plausible that I think it’s probable, that you’re on this website because you tried to overdose on Ibuprofen for being such a failure at being a doctor. You’re not helping these people. It’s almost as if you’re trying to get them to kill themselves.
Please, don’t say anything again, or if you do, say it like a real doctor and not a phony, and if you are a doctor, try not to be so obvious that you’re a failure. I recommend you start by getting off this website, stop making more people suicidal, and actually try to help people. Or, if you’re not a doctor, which you probably aren’t, give up now at pretending to be one. You’re doing more harm than help. I suggest you doing this by shutting the fuck up.
WELL SAID MY FRIEND!!!
opk well they could be telling the truth but were trying to GET HIGH LIKE STUPID HIGH SCHOOLERS
People also haven’t considered the dosage of each pill…200mg per pill for your average OTC ibuprofien pill is fairly weak. I usually use two 200mg pills to cure a headache (400mg total) ; 3 pills (600mg) for really bad migraines.
I’ve seen prescribed 800mg ibuprofen, but you can only get that if you’ve harmed yourself severely.
WELL, TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO ATTEMPTED SUICIDE… LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING… YOU SHOULD BECAUSE YOUR’E NOT ARMENIAN.
call 911
Ibuprofen might not instantly kill you but will kill you over the time. You liver will have some permanent damage. Some of your organs will not function properly that will result to death.
make them throw up
That is actually is not the best option in every scenario.
When in doubt – CALL 9-1-1
I hope you have visited the doctor already. It is not advisable that you wait for someone to resolve such an emergnecy over the net. Possibility of the following are high: Toxic reaction – in exceptional cases it can be fatal. An ibuprofen overdose, although usually benign, can occasionally produce serious toxicityOther consequences may be Nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, mild central nervous system depression, coma, tachycardia, apnea, metabolic acidosis with or without respiratory alkalosis, hematemesis, and oliguric renal failure. None of this can be managed at home. I repeat please visit the doctor asap.
If your 18 years under,and overdosing to suicide…
Possible Refelections….JAIl
Or MENTEL HOSPITAL
I R N0ob Str3nTh
Or the Montel (Williams) Hospital.
I knew a beautiful girl. 17. Ready to graduate high school.
She got mad at her boyfriend and thought she would “teach” him a lesson.
She took (I’m not sure how many) Tylenol. She thought they could pump her stomach and then everything would be all right. Well, I guess by the time she told someone (she was totally lucid) her liver was destroyed.
She died a terrible death. She knew what was happening.
It can take up to a month for you to die!
Nothing anyone could do.
why are people wasting time on forums like this?
people are out there od’ing on addys and shit.
much more serious than ibuprofen.
Wow, i’m really glad i seen this. My boyfriend of 3 yrs. just left me.. i thought everything was okay between us after we had a huge argument this morning, i know he’s not worth my life, because my daughters way more valuable to me, but it did hurt that he could just up and leave, i wanted to hear from other peoples opinions thats why i came on here.. i know it was a stupid thought but when your in pain and it feels like your whole world just came crashing done what else are you supposed to think about? After seeing this article i changed my thoughts i wanted to teach him a lesson a serious one, but he’s not worth my life, when he doesn’t even want to be a part of it. To all you overdosers, believe me i know how you feel.. i don’t think your stupid or anything because life is the hardest thing, and it does feel like death would be way easier, but believe me you’ll get through the hard times, even when it feels like you won’t, and losing your lives not worth any problem you might be having, i don’t care who you are, you are important to SOMEONE out there, just find that someone.. I’m no counselor, ad i’m not trying to preach to anyone but seriously i think everyone can make a difference even if you think you can’t, the little things matter too.
I took an overdose like a week ago. Is it worth seeing a doctor? Im feeling ok now, I only get headaches but I nearly always had before. I havent told anyone because I don’t want them to know I had a suicide attempt. What should I do? what will happen if I tell my doctor?
hey ill cure ur headache no drugs no charge just me holla at ur boy ~HAtER~
HATER WHAT A PRICK YOU ARE , MY SISTER WEE BOY GOT SHOT DEAD INFRONT OF HER FACE SHE TOOK 26 PARACETMOL AND BRUFOEN SHE DIED 3 WEEKS LATER PAINFULL DEATH, GROW UP SUICIDE DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE HER WEE BOY WAS 5 YRS OLD SHOT DEAD ASSHOLE MY SISTER WAS ONLY 22YRS OLD
Seeing the doctor will put you in a mental hospital but still recomended,,,!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not every suicide attempt lands you in a mental ward, but the will DEFINATELY do a psych eval and work up to determine if you are still suicidal. If you are, then they will probably admit you to the psych ward (most hospitals have one for this reason) for anywere between 24-78 hour suicide watch or observation. Regardless, if you have thought about or attempted suicide, I advise at least going to talk to a councelor at a community counceling center, a religious adviser (if you are a religious person), school counceler, or a hot line or something. There is no shame, it is confidential. and it might help out alot just to help you get a better grip on what is going on in your life.
no it wont my aunt she took like 200 of them pills and they didnt put her in the mental hospital she just got rushed to the er after that idk what happend i tlked to her and she said she could feel her self letting go and she was trying so hard to hold on and stay with em but yea i think it was ibprofin but i dont try to do this stupid shit its dumb and gets u no where but hell if u die
If you have true migraines, I encourage you to see a cardiologist. I have a friend who suffered daily from migraines for years. It turned out that she had a hole between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Supposedly, many people have this, but it never poses a problem. However, they repaired the hole, and she is now free of migraines for the first time in many, many years. Hope this helps. Joyce
I took an overdose about a week ago. I feeling ok now. If I tell a doctor what will happen knowing it was a suicide attempt?
yes ur gonna die get over it
you are an asshole, hater… maybe YOU should try an overdose? or maybe drink some gasoline.
Well Drink some gasoline and put a match down ur throat..
My freind had VEANGENCE and did it…
Holy shit… how old is everyone in this forum?? 12?? lol… i haven’t seen so much bullshit and nonsense since I was 15 in the hallways of my highschool. Drug abuse and overdose is NO fucking joke! I came on here to look up some possibly answers for my girlfriend who LAST NIGHT called me in a panic saying that she did some cocaine, got a head ache and took 2, 400 ml’s of ibuprofen. within 25 minutes she said that her arms and legs went numb, she was having a hard time breathing, she felt panicky, the room was spinning… she felt the urge to puke but couldn’t… AND YOU YOUNG PUNK ASS’S are sitting here bragging about taking 40 ibuprofens and making a joke of it??? LOL… if you all wanna talk SHIT, after reading this, go pop 10 ibuprofen’s and come back tomorrow and tell me how you felt!
cocain is a natural anesthetic and one of the side effects of it is numbness. Your girlfriend most likely didnt know that as well as you and had a panic attack making her want to gag not throw up
she probably took the advil to stop the burning in her nose after she snorted it.
C-Dot… your girlfriend’s problem was COCAINE, not ibuprofen… and you think these other people are the idiots? ha. You’re dumb.
Hah Hater, Your not the kind of person who should be on a site such as this. People are looking for advice and answers. You just want to be a little asshole. Get your ass back on myspace and leave the intalectual conversations to people who care.
@ raptor
I recommend also leaving the INTELLECTUAL arguments to people who are INTELLECTUALS and know how to spell.
There is nothing at all intellectual about this forum. All of you (including me) had to go looking for an overdose amount to find this website and then you all read this shit and thought ‘I’ll tell the world my sob story’ or “i’m so much smarter than these stupid people”. The fact is, you’re all here contributing to this idiocy. And yes, I know, I am too.
Jenny,
Your doctor is confidential, go talk to him/her. If you are worried about side effects it is okay, you are clear from the obvious danger now. But you need to talk to someone who will help you. Remember your doctor cannot speak to anyone, but if you are underage and sign as a codependent tell them what you are saying is confidential. Good luck and remember that there is always an answer.
seriously whats wrong with you people. If all you want to do is kill yourslef, and have tried to kill your self, then
you have bigger problems then worrying about side effects later on in your miserable lifes. Stop wanting to die.
I’m not saying that you shouldnt take any pain medications, but if you want to pop a few more then 400mg(highest recomended
amount) because the your in alot of pain then do it. AND DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT IT!!
and to answer julie’s question, your friend is in no trouble and she’ll be just fine.
for example: i wiegh 165 pounds and im 5′9″. i had a horrible headache and wanted to go out drinking with some friends.
so i poured 20 pills into my pocket before i left the house. By the end of the night i took 17 200mg ibprofen, and about
1 gram of cocain, and 9 shots of captain morgan and i was throwing up by 7:30 because of the pills.
Basically your body knows whats best and it will take care of itself in many different ways.
lol very true
a gram of coke is ridic must of knocked u sillaaay
Wow are you a dumb ass? not everyone is stupid like you and uses illegal substances and alchohal to deal with their emotional problems.
do you think that people with mental problems realise it’s stupid at a tragic time such as this. if they want death, if they do not feel happy with their lives their minds are not right. can you honestly expect someone with a twisted mind, such as those with mental disorders have. this is from experience, you don’t know how they feel, so don’t judge them. if you ended up like that and could empathise it’d be a whole different story.
Not everyone is stupid like you and can’t spell alcohol. Anyways, I doubt a self-satisfied egomaniac bastard like you could ever understand true despair.
Dude its sounds like YOU tried to kill YOURSELF last night. WTF is wrong with you? Frickin cokeheads man…..
Yes, your body will take care of itself. Just like when you break a bone – and it magically heals with no medical intervention. Or when you have a gunshot wound and it magically takes care of itself. Or when you cut yourself badly and it heals without stitches! Who needs doctors?! Your body heals itself!
alot of people are aware of that but its mostly because of damaged organs or huge loss of blood wich is the original creation for stiches to seal up a wound with constant bleeding… i mean think about it if you got cut throw your whole leg up and about 5 inches deep and say “its gonna heal eventually” and keep walking your probably gonna die but idk people on here say THE CRAZIEST shit. suicide is a serious thing i still do it its nothing to be proud of my so called “Friends” ditch me out of eveything i move on and then a shit load of ppl treat me like shit for the past 2 months me and my brothers *bestest friends e consider eachother brothers* have been cutting me out of conversations and activitys it makes me feel like shit i cut myself to show them im not afraid to leave them in this world they say they would change constantly. but they dont so i have agreed “if they care about me they will come or try to find me” so im gonna go somewere else. overdosing has huge effects people are fiuced up theres a kid in my health class always braging about smoking its a not a new thing congrats you do what everyone else does do you feel special? no people need to learn that this isnt cool or alright this is a HUGE and SERIOUS topic which shouldnt be talked about as a joke my friend hadiya just got outta jail from running away and she toldme verything was a lie except that time with overdosing im not gonna lie i was scared for her because she wasnt going to well before they rushed her. and you guys sit here talking about it for what? beause you think your cool? because you want attention? no dont do it for attention because one day you just might fuck up and actually die. i didnt right in caps because im gonna trust you can read. thank you for your time and reading with me
Was wandering the internet curious about ibuprofen overdoses
because I overdosed on it ages ago, and remember a nearly
week-long hospital stay, blood gas tests, perfusion IV, etc.
Ummm… It’s not easy to kill yourself on ibuprofen (for any
of you who think it would be), and actually has to be a long,
painful death. You kill your kidneys, and then die after they
shut down. I got tired of waiting (didn’t realize it could still
happen), and finally called the poison control center, drove
myself to the ER (hoping to pass out and run into something and
die on the way), and lived to tell the tale.
I suggest getting help. God bless.
how many paracetamols / iburophen do u have to take for it not to kill you..
just to knock u out n that…
Last month, I took and ibuprofen overdose. I had 50 pills. I’m not sure what the mg was though.
This sure isn’t the only time, because I used to regularly pop 10 at a time, and I have taken 20 at a time at least twice.
The doctors know and they didn’t send me anywhere. [I'm only 14 and was already under the treatment of a psychologist].
I had a liver function test, and so far, there is only minor damage from my drinking plus the advil.
I’m really freaked out that something more major could happen..
Does anyone know

i’m 13 and last night i took 25 paracetamols. Last week a girl called terri.anne (16) died a few days after taking them. She died sunday night, i’m also frightened and dont want to tell my mum. i used to drink alot and was in hospital for drinking too much. i don’t know what i should do and while i was on healthoma.com and i came across your comment i decided to write back, i hope you can reply.
Alcohol and drugs are not the problem try AA or your church (if you go) for help. You need to work on your issues then you won’t use the bad stuff. It worked for me! And now I love life!
dude stfu hes 13 he doesnt need AA what hes doing is just a shout for help
Orlaigh, Your parents should be looked at by the police for letting you become an alchoholic. Your only 13 and your already involved in things that I haven’t done and I’m 40.
why are all the parents allowing their 13 year olds access to drugs and alcohol?
keep taking that much ibuprofen or such drugs on a regular basis, and yeah you will die a SLOOOWWW Painful death. Your kidneys will start to fail and then shut down all together. Your kidneys are what filters toxins from your system, without that all the other organs get affected.
Is it possible for someone to to overdose on ibuprofen in such a great quantity that it
is mistaken at the hospital as symptoms of Hepatitis?
This article seems CRAZY!! It’s says “doses above 400 mg/kg are
considered an overdose and can result into any of the above
consequences.” I weigh 300 lbs which equates to 136 kg. With
the standard 200mg pills I need to take 272 pills before I
would be considered in overdose???!!! How can this be!!!
Um, I am not a doctor so dont take my advice
but doctors give out 600mg up to 800mg I think it is.
but that is only every 12 hrs…
So how can over 400mg be an overdose?
Motrin does help pain, just make sure u eat with it and DONT take it every day.
I was told by a Docotor that i could take 4 regular ibuprofen and that would equal a dr.’s 800 mg dose so that i did not have to pay for a more expensive script.
400mg/kg isnt 400MG its 400 MG PER KG. its according to your weight. so if youre lets say maybe 110 pounds, thats about 50 kg. so youd need to take 400 mg of ibu. for ever kg (400×50) thats 20,000mg, which is 100 of the 200mg pills. so if you’re 110 pounds youd need to take about 100 before there is any serious effects of overdose. not if you take 400mg. which is nothing. doctors prescribe 800mg pills to take 2-3 times a day all the time for pain, so chill out everybody if you’ve taken less than 100+. youll get a headache, stomachache and vomit.
You didn’t figure the math out correctly! I am in the healthcare field! Trust Me!
Actually he did figure out the math right.
I would have to take 30 just to get to the 100mg/kg danger point. At 400mg/kg, I would have to take 120. I’m sure the more you take the faster it would affect you. You might die more slowly with less or do more harm. 120 seems like more than enough to kill someone though.
Last year I once took 10 pills in a day and the packet said to only take 8… am I going to die? I don’t want to die, I’m only 78. Please someone help me.
damn! i tried to od just now. i took like 14 pills cos they were the only thing in the medicine cabinet that looked like smarties. i just wanted to die! i also downed some gee’s linctus along with it.. i then chose to google ‘ibuprofen overdose’ and all i get is you guys saying it will damage my insides and my body will fail piece by piece.. AAAAAHHH im to cowardly to die painfully!
haha, i did the same thing. (i took 5 pills and was hoping it would make me die it my sleep or somehting, since it says on the bottle that ibuprofen can cause drowsiness) should’ve tried other pills. i am also too much of a wimp to die painfully.
haha, you guys are just so funny… i overdose on food all the time and hope to explode one day…. lol. ibpropine and paracetamol overdoses are the worst that i have taken they dont do anything much to you except make yoiu violently sick. i was sick the whole day and night,… it was nasty, i couldnt help it i had to enduce it.. that was the last time i tock that overdose, was in hospital for 3 or 4 days and had temporary liver damage but nothing serious. i find its much better to overdose on sleeping tablets or anti depressents and anti psychotics, it feel sbetter and you actually kind of lose awearness so thats good, a break from your problems.
i am not encouraging anyone to do this. but i find that paracetamol and ibprophin and other pain killers are almost useless – they make you feel crap and not good like anto depressents, sleeping pills and anti psychiootics.
Sarah, I love you, II also like to overdose on food, hehehe FUHK DRUGS! nigga! By the way I like you’re name!
YO WUT DA FUCK?????? I JUST TRIED 2 OVA DOSE2NITE……….I TOOK 48 PILLS. MY TUMMY DONT FEEL RITE AT ALL. IM JUST SO STRESSED AND DEPRESSED.

You are not okay.Imao.

YOU TRY GOD OBVIOUSLY ( LMAO ) ITS FUNNY TOO YOU SUICIDE IS NOT A FUCKING JOKE HALF OF YOU ARE LAUGHING A HEY A TOOK THIS AND THAT TRY WATCHING YOUR 5 YR OLD SON GETTING SHOT DEAD INFRONT OF YOUR FACE AND THEN KILLING HERSELF THROUGH PARACETMOL GROW UP AND BE SYMPATHETIC INSTEAD OF BEING BRAGGERS AND IDIOTS SUICIDE KILLS A NO THAT A LOST 3 MY FAMILY TOO SUICIDE
I don’t understand a sentence you said…
you goan DIEE. dumbass people trying to kill themselves just cause they don’t live in a fairytale world. y’all fucking suck. if you want to kill yourself, at least go through with it. don’t do some stupid shit and then come crying that you changed your mind. no respect for suicide without legitimate reason, even less than no respect for dramatic and failed suicide attempts.
Ever heard of depression, dickhead?
Some people just weren’t meant to live.
hi there im 15 i got diagnoised with a brain tumor in april 09 i had brain surgary in october n it lead to 4 over opps im really dwn n yer iv tryed oding alot i think i also suffer from an eatin disorder too and i think alot of these people are depressed sooo actully have some respect it ant there fults we dont choose to become depressed maybe have a bit of sypathy for these people!!!!!
Man i just wanted to know if I i should use ibuprofen for my neckache and I get this unbelievably long war about suicide. get a life if you wanna kill yourself go ahead because your life obviously sucks to have a serious thought like that. and if you don’t wanna kill yourself and think the idea of it is pointless then amen to you, your life doesn’t completely suck.
Every year of my life i wait for my father to call me on my birthday but he doesn’t, and every few years he will call and say he will visit but he doesn’t. I call him on fathers day and wish him a happy fathers day but he doesn’t answer. how would you feel if your father hated you and you can do nothing about it? and your mom is struggling to pay bills and keep her children happy without any child support from daddy.
so fuck you guys if you want to commit suicide you are pathetic. why end your life if nothing comes after it and don’t give me that heaven shit because you committed a sin. having a life is great because you are alive.
You’re such a fucking worthless dick fuck! Yes Fred. YOU. You’re insulting comments. ONCE FUCKING AGAIN, LET ME MAKE THIS FUCKING CLEAR TO YOU SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WITH THAT SMALL LITTLE BRAIN OF YOURS AND THAT THICK ASS SKULL… Teens and people can come to this web site to talk. Not to put each other down. Not to congradulate each other on doing what they did, but being thankful for each other that they survived. It’s scary. You wanna be the asshole that pushes someone to commit suicide? You’re doing it right now. You are putting people down that are on here to talk. Back the fuck off you stupid punk ass prick! Go do something productive with your time rather than putting people who need help down.
i took 9 ibuprofen about 45minutes ago. only one other person knows and he’s extreamly worried about me. i know it wont kill me. but what will it do?
I just 10 and i died.
Then you wouldnt be here typing dumbass >.>
Lol…so true, so true
VINCENZO – “By the end of the night i took 17 200mg ibuprofen, and about 1 gram of cocaine, and 9 shots of captain morgan and i was throwing up by 7:30 because of the pills.”
YOU ABSOLUTE JOKER. how the f*ck did u know it was the pills making u throw up, u anal-craving c*nt. You have the nerve to tell people to stop wanting to die, then you explain how u’re a heavy drinker and a drug abuser…what kind of idiot would take advice from a drugged up dick farmer like u? just shut up.
Idk about actually bein able to overdose on them,, cause 2 weeks ago i was doin some shots and i got some bad news and i tryed to overdose on them… take in mind im 20 years old 170 pounds and i found one of those like industrial size bottels that had like 500 200 mgs or so in them.. it was a closed bottle and well i feel asleep the next day my friend counted what was left and told me that i took 345.. some overdose.. but the liver pains do happen when i try and drink liqure.. heh like thats gonna stop me
I did a similar thing a year ago i took a whole bottle of 200mg and I didn’t overdose… I didn’t even have liver pain. I also had blood tests and other tests done a few months after and my liver was just fine if not in better then normal condition. I weighed 145 pounds at the time so overdose seems a little profound to me.
i’m almost 23 and 220lbs. i’ve been havin tooth pains for 2 days and today i took 12 pills (12 of the 200mg). i didn’t really think about the “do not exceed 6 pills in 24hrs” warning on the back of the label. i wasn’t trying to overdose on ibuprophen i was js trying to take away my teeth pain. i think tho my body has gotten used to ibuprophen cuz my tooth still hurts. so far nothing has happened. not gonna lie kinda scared to go to sleep but i’m exhuasted and my teeth hurt lol.
try having the friggin’ tooth pulled out.
I’m not a Dr., but I think you’ll be okay. You might feel a little queezy later on, but you should be okay
Im taking 60 tonight.
I want to overdose.
not die.

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

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

help.

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

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