I'm not aware of ibuprofen addiction. But there might be a condition, like say.....a migraine headache....that may be behind your heavy use of ibuprofen.
Your doctor can find out and offer treatment options that may help. That's your first step: making the appointment to see him or her ASAP.

I need to know if you take a handful all at once or if you space the dosage over a 24 hr. period? While it is for used for headaches, sore muscles , aches and pains, injuries, etc..............it is not without some risks. It is an anti -inflammatory sold OTC and can be very dangerous if used improperly. What do you take them for? I know I ask questions you can't answer.......but I want you to think about the questions I ask. If you are taking that many at once, you are risking an overdose and possibly death. Any medicines are not to be overused and all can be dangerous if you exceed the recommended dosage. You could develop liver damage as most many meds are processed through the liver. Normally you would only take 1-2 every 6 hours. If you are taking this many, you should call Poison Control Center immediately. While you may be addicted to anything, this doesn't usually cause addictions. If you feel that you absolutley have to have that many ....you are addicted. Most importantly is that you are overdosing and risking your life. ALWAYS read the recommended dosage and NEVER take more than it recommends. You need to focus on the amount your are taking immediately instead of an addiction. I am surprised that you aren't in the ER or worse. I am praying for you that you will not die....yes die..taking that amount. Also....if you drink alcohol..it is worse. PLEASE CALL POISON CONTROL NOW.
