Misunderstood my doc about script for ibuprofen and took 1200 mg 2x day for 3 doses. no symptoms of problems. as long as i don't do again, am i ok?

Yes: You should be Ok. Maximum dose of ibuprofen for an adult is 2400 mg per day. It sounds like you took just that so I don't see any long term problems.
