Question 1

Accepted Answer

Med eval now.: Please seek care now.  You need to be assessed both physically and emotionally.  An overdose should be taken very seriously. Take care.

Question 2

im creating a psa for school on suicide., and im wondering how long it would take if someone overdosed on advil (ibuprofen)?

Accepted Answer

Best approach?: Most ibuprofen overdoses won't kill. Please tell them that 99% of would-be youngster suicides are VERY happy, one year later, that they failed. Educating them about the unreliability and the likelihood (depending on method) of major brain damage instead is part of the story; reminding them you can help with horrible life situations is even more helpful.

Question 3

did i take too much ibuprofen?

Accepted Answer

If you took more: than the directed amount - then it was too much. If you took an overdose - call poison control at 1-800-222-1222. If you are having
thoughts about killing yourself,  get seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk .

Not worried : That dose is okay to take daily under a doctor's care but exceeds the daily over-the-counter dose. However, what is not known is how long the 1800 mg daily dose can be taken safely without causing hypertension, stomach ulcers and other problems.
