The FDA reports that: the approved OTC daily dose of ibuprofen (1200 mg/day) is 37.5% of the maximum daily prescription dose (3200 mg). Acetaminophen (Tylenol) may cause severe liver damage if you take more than 4,000 mg in 24 hrs (worse with alcohol). Consult physician for evaluation and recommendations, seek pain relief from lifestyle measures, take only as directed, and dispel your shame. Best regards for relief.
