Try smokin some crack. I've found that it works faster and it doesn't rot out your guts. :)

sur eyou can take 1200mg of ib if you want to kill your liver. I don't think it'll do anything for mygraines though.

try something with aspirin in it if you're not allergic.


IB is mainly for swelling. if your brain is swollen than you've got a concussion and nothing that i know of will help you with it.

I would NOT recommend taking the additional 400mg of the Ibuprofen at this time. Your stomach and kidneys won't like you.

I will prescribe 800mg to be taken every 8 hours. but I don't write for any more than the 800mg.

With a migraine, make sure to include caffeine in your regimen. And a dark quiet enviroment (generally away from a computer so that your poor eyes can rest more easily)

And talk with your doctor about the triptan family ( Imitrex, Relpax, Maxalt, ect) Also if you get frequent migraines, talk with him/her about suppressive therapy.

Good luck

Seriously? I don't think any amount of ibuprofen will work on a migraine, and if you take too much all it will do is mess up your stomach. Find something a little (a lot) stronger and lay down for a while in a dark room.

Without a prescription, something like excedrin *may* help. I'm not sure if its the aspirin/tylenol combo or the added caffiene but that tends to work better on serious headaches than ibuprofen.

Hope you feel better soon!

Or have to leave one of your party puking on the side of the road at a very busy intersection in the middle of morning traffic.:o:D

I used to have migraines a lot until my chiro fixed it right up and now I have only 1/yr at the very most.

Mine were:
Blinding lights
Screaching sound
pounding head
puking
sweating
My reality and yours are quite different.

Upper neck dislocations can be very painful. Chiros can fix them, but you've got to be careful. There are only 2 chiros out of the dozen or so I've seen that can fix C1-C7 dislocations. One is in San Francisco, and the other is in New Paultz, NY. PM me and I'll share their names. Maybe they'll know someone in your area.

No, ibuprofen in excessive doses is toxic to the liver.. People should never take more of any "pain reliever" than is recommended by the manufacture. The problem with liver failure is that you don't know you have it until its too late. then you die.
