too many pain killers?

[*mandi*]

Ugh. Its that time of the month again and Im in complete pain. I think I may have taken too many Ibuprofen.


They are 200 mg each. I took 2 of them around 3pm...then 3 more around 6 pm...then another at 11:30 pm. I feel kinda dizzy and a bit N*...do you think I took too many or that they might make me V*?


I dont know why Im freaking out like this. I think I just need some reassurance

The most important question is whether you took them with food or
not. I used to take them every month, and was ill a few times,
thought it was from the pain but it was the tablets upsetting my
stomach, I have a very delicate stomach so Im sure this doesnt happen
to everyone, but if you can its definetely worth having some food with
them.



In terms of the quantity you have taken im sure you will be fine, I
have taken more than I should before and been fine, I wouldn't
recommend you do it all the time, but im sure you will be fine this
once.

Hi i think you will be fine, you havent taken enough to over dose on them, i have taken more than that before and been fine. IF you cant find pain killers to work you should discuss it with your dr, he might be able to give you something with codiene or suggest you take paracetamol with ibupofen, thats what i do, i take 1000mg of paracetamol and 600 of ibuofen and im ok, BUT DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR FIRST.


with ibupofen, most of the drug is metabolised by the liver etc before it gets to the site of pain so you will be ok, you might just be a little sleepy.


As littloe bebe said, you really should take them with food or they can hurt you stomach a little. maybe you can try some plain crackers or something to settle your stomach.


Hope you feel better xx

I think that feeling may just be from your period. Not from the pills
you took. I agree with the others, you should make sure you take them
with food though
