If you take 2 paracetomol, then 2 hours later, 2 nurofen, then you'll be fine, all it's doing is keeping the painkillers in your system completely!
Don't take them every hour though, it'll ruin your insides!

Not a good idea. remember, your liver is in charge of getting rid of all this stuff, and if you take to much of any medication, it will have to work over time and sometimes, it cannot keep up with the demand, then you run into liver damage..NOT fun. We won't even go into the possible dangers of over dosing, respiratory suppression...( breathing problems) , kidney problems. Don't do it. If you are looking to get high, stop that. If you are in pain and do not think that medication is helping, call the doctor. You can get high on it, but depending on the medication, you could also stop breathing. Sigh, do you really want to do more than you should? Oh, did I mention death? yeah, mixing any type of medications, pain meds most especially can cause permanent death.

I don't know what pain killers you have, but read the labels and get some professional advice before you take them because you could overdose yourself. I know you can take Ibuprofen and paracetamol at the same time, this is really effective as ibuprofen is also an anti-inflammatory too.

no problem to take paracetamol and ibuprofen u can even take them at same time just make sure u dont take more than 4 doses of paracetamol or 3 of ibuprofen in 24 hrs. u shouldnt take aspirin with ibuprofen as they are similar but u could take aspirin and paracetamol if necessary. if u need that level of pain relief try getting something stronger from pharmacy to help u.

It depends on the group of painkillers that you are taking. Ibuprofen is an NSAID (Non steriodal anti inflammatory drug) and paracetamol is not so it will not kill you to take these two together.HOWEVER.... you should not be mixing drugs without knowldege and if you feel that paracetamol is not controlling your pain you should see your GP.

you can take paracetamol and then ibuprofen 2 hours later, they are a different type of painkiller and do different things. make sure you are not taking two types of paracetamol in this way though.

Dont do it, just stick with the advise you were given by your dentist regarding your root canal treatment. If that doesnt work. Call your doctor.
Try having just the paracetamol and a nice hot bath.. Lots of bubbles and rubber ducky

ibuprofen and paracetamol are safe to take together because they work differently but not advised for very long.
Have a chat with a pharmacist who can maybe recommend a stronger painkiller so you can just stick to one

It is possible to overdose. Many pain killers contain opiotes which cause respiratory depression (means you stop breathing) and this is culmulative (adds up)---thinking of doing this??? Just think of Anna Nicole Smith (and read her autopsy report--might cure that idea).
