Hey,
Hope this thread is appropriate here, sorry if not.
So I took way too much ibuprofen last night. I don't even want to say how much I took tbh because it's pretty embarrassing how unsafe I was being. Anyway, I spent a good 3-4 hours throwing up, shivering, feverish and ended up fainting. I probably should have gone to A&E but too late for that now...about 20h later I still feel pretty horrible, I've just got this really stabbing pain in my stomach and I feel very nauseous as well. Vision is also still slightly blurry and I feel quite disoriented. I've been drinking a lot and tried to force myself to eat a bit too but it's not helping much...does anyone know what I can do to make this go away faster? :(
And yes, I know it was really stupid of me :\

thanks.
 
Well I thought all they could do was pump your stomach which would only be effective like right after I took them, sorry :|
 
you can sometimes buy activated charcoal at a pharmacy to drink and flush it out.

the idea of a hospital is to watch for when " I've just got this really stabbing pain in my stomach and I feel very nauseous as well. Vision is also still slightly blurry and I feel quite disoriented" starts turning into dying.
 
^ exactly, if you still feel horrible then go to the hospital.

ive had tooth pains and back pains that put me into tears and i took almost 10 grams of ibuprofen and no upset stomach or nothing, but thats me not you.

idk, if you feel bad then the best thing to do is go to EMS
 
Pagey there's really nothing you can do at home. The only thing you can and have to do is see a doctor. I urge you do so immediately if you haven't already, even if you're feeling better.

Closed.
