I was just wondering.....dont read more into it then it is.....

Answer 1

you would become very sick, very sick!! Hopefully you would end up in the hospital where they give you charcoal to slow down the medicine in your body and then you get to have a psych consult!! You would more than likely damage your liver, your heart and whatever else, that and you end up with really black colored mouth and lips from the charcoal and it does not come off easy....not to mention the oh so fun pumping of the stomach..and large bore IV's running full tilt....yeah rocking good time

Answer 2

You mean 3 times the daily max in 3 minutes? If it was a one time thing it would probably result in one or more of the following: constipation, nausea, vomiting, headache, drowsiness, bruising, tinnitus, psychic disturbances, arrythmia, edema, abdominal discomfort and/or blurred vision. If there was a history of taking ibuprofen or other NSAIDS, then the chances are greater of a worse reaction happening such as, GI bleed, hepatitis and hematuria.

Answer 3

Advil is acidic. It will erode your gastric mucosa in normal doses. In higher doses, say what you state, depending upon your age and state of thickness of your gastric mucosa, you could cause a gastric bleed. Contributing to the bleed is that fact that pills like Advil protract the bleeding time.

Answer 4

First off, you'd most likely start to burn a hole in your stomach, which from what I've seen is not too comfortable, especially if you aren't big on pain. Then the overdose will kick in. If you are trying to kill yourself, please do it right and not like T.O. Stupid bastard can't even do THAT right. There's a reason that they have recommended doses on the bottle... so people FOLLOW them. If you go against professional recommendation, then you are asking for whatever you get.

Answer 5

They wouldn't get high or anything- it would be pointless. But, if you really had that urge; the result would be bad stomache pain and a trip to the hospital for an unpleasant stomache pumping session.

Answer 6

Do you really think that warning labels are put on medicines just for fun????? lol Yes you would be sick!

Answer 7

I believe one might encounter a liver failure and/or poisoning - not really safe. You need your liver you know :) Whoever is willing to do it, I say talk them out of it. Pretty stupid idea.

Answer 8

You really don't want to find out. Because it involves excruciating pain and a slow drawn out wasting death.

Answer 9

Ask your doctor. Then triple what he says.

Answer 10

please dont do that!!!!!
