I take 10 ibuprofens during mental breakdowns?!


Question: It has never hurt me before. I know it's a dumb thing to do, but I can't help it. What's the worst 10 ibuprofens (taken at the same time) can do do you? How do I stop myself?

Serious answers here. I'm being 100% realistic. Btw, I'm nearly 14.

i did exactly that at youre age except i took excedrin and other randoms... id never read the labels and i did this occasionally for about 6 months

i only stopped because i realized how lame and pointless it is. the lining in my stomach feels like its going to tear as i type, its dumb. just stop its not physical its ALLL MENTAL.

It can give you a stomach ulcer (bleeding in your stomach) it can be deadly in some cases find something else to take like chocolate or something to calm your nerves :-P

I know how four or five make me feel, I can only imagine what 10 would be like. It's not good on your stomach, causes internal bleeding. Really, the answer would be with something else other than a physical pain reliever. Have you talked with a doctor?

Yes, I have read it can be fatal. Limit yourself to 4, which is a prescription ibuprofen, and honestly, few 14 year olds need 4 unless they just broke their leg.

Try putting some ice cubes in your hand. The shock of the cold ice is very distracting.

If you are having that bad of mental breakdowns, I'm going to say you need counseling or possibly meds. It could be that you have poor coping mechanisms, which counseling can help, or you have severe depression/bipolar whatever, which a psychiatrist is needed.

You REALLY need to talk to your parent(s) about this!!! If you can't talk to them, talk to a counselor at school.

i'm bipolar....not that my disorder truly gets bad anymore, but i have realized that cutting and trying to overdose is a waste and it's a cowardly way to solve problems.
you're 14, you shouldn't do this to yourself....even at any age it's not good to do.
you need to tell your parents.
ibuprofen isn't that strong enough to kill yourself if it's in a low dose and like...probably 10 pills or less won't do anything...but the whole bottle can probably kill you.
i take 4 ibuprofens when i have a headache and i used to take 4 ibuprofen like every few hours because of my severe headaches...i did that for like 3 months EVERY day. now i have become immune to ibuprofen. i was also told i was lucky i didn't damage my liver. too many ibuprofen, tylenol, advil,etc. cause liver damages, addiction, and you can be immune to it.

tell your parents asap.

Why are you doing it? For attention? Because you feel sorry for yourself at the time? I'm only asking because I remember doing the same thing when a boy broke up with me when I was 13. I was just feeling sorry for myself. Now, I xan look back at how dumb it was. It won't make you go to sleep if that's what your aiming for, it might make you sick, hurt your liver, eat away the inside of your stomach lining causing an ulcer, embarass your parents and hurt them if you have to go have your stomach pumped, among other things. Why are you doing it, what satisfaction do you get from it? Why are you having mental breakdowns at your age to begin with? Talk to your parents, maybe you can just get a therapist to talk to. It could really help you feel better.

This could kill you. If it doesn't, it could seriously damage your stomach lining. Don't do it! Especially at your age, while your body is still developing, this can do real harm. It's better to take 1-2 when you're in pain. If you're feeling emotionally pained, make an appointment to see a counselor. If you're in physical pain, make an appointment to see a physician. They can help you find more health ways to deal with pain.
