It could cause internal bleeding, I've nverseen more than 800mg given at one time. Why did you do it? If you were in pain, and normal doses aren't helping, you need to see someone about it. If you were trying to hurt yourself, you should notify someone and get some help. when in doubt, call poison control, they will be the experts in OD, intentional or accidental.

I took the equivalent of 6 once and was vomiting for 24 hours... everyone is different... i have seen many of my patients take that much and do fine... others reacted more like me...
I would STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend that you never take more than 800mg at one time (same as 4 regular Advil), and then no more than 3 times a day. Even that much should only be taken under orders from a doctor. The reason is that you can damage the lining of your stomach and not even know it until the damage is very severe (like a bleeding ulcer)... Ed, RN

Ibuprofens can tear your stomach up. You can bleed internally. You can take no more than 1000 in a day. IF its not working then you need to try something else. Where are you having the pain? How much milligrams are they? Depending on the dose, you can only take about 2-3 at a time. You can cause kidney damage.

I was told I can take up to 12 a day of the over the counter ones from a doctor.
You do this for years and your stomach may be irritated, just eat some food or milk with it.
If you have no reason to take these I do not understand why you would. These do not make one high or anything like this. The pills from the doctor are of bigger doses, go get them from the doctor.....

yes, it hurts your liver, and it can give you a nasty upset stomach, and it is a blood thinner. best you take 2, and if that does not help, wait 2 hours to take 2 more, never exceed 12 in a day. you never know when your liver goes south until it is too late, better safe than sorry!

I hope you had food in your stomach or the medication can burn a hole in your stomach.
You can also do some damage to your liver.
It is best to take the recommended dosage.
You need to see a doctor about this reason you need so many pills

It can make you sick and is hard on your liver. Do not take more than 4 at one time and no more than 16 in 24 hours. You should see your doctor if a pain persists.

Ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers (long term) but short term, like paracetamol only a small amount can cause damage to your organs!

It depends on your weight and tolerance. I'm 300 pounds and I've never taken more than six, I hate to sound like a prude but you shouldn't take more than the bottle says

SIX!!!!!! That's alot of ibuprofen.
I'm surprised u felt fine when four didn't do anything to you.
that's really dangerous b/c ibuprofen is a strong drug
