does 400 mg of ibuprofen make anyone else a wee bit punchy?

I think ibuprofen is a little psychoactive. I get kinda loopy when I take the liquigels...

what are these 'liquigels' of which you speak?

EXTREME ADVIL!!!

Oh, they're this new advil product. Ibuprofin in solution in these nifty soft gelcaps. They hit hard and fast and will rip your stomach lining to shreds. In fact I think there's a warning on the package that says something like "may cause severe burns if not taken with a full glass of water." But it's brilliant for back pain.

I usually take about 800 to 1000 mg so I can't tell. I'm usually too dazed to do anything.

i used to, until once i accidentally took over 2400 in 24 hours without eating much and got dizzy and sick and thought i was going to puke for quite a while, and the nurse was like 'oh yeah, well, it's bad if you overdose because it's really eating those bleeding holes in your stomach,' and i went 'erk.' and now i try to keep it to 600mg at a time, max. and take it with loooooooots of food.

Yeah, sometimes I'd take so much that it felt like holes were being eaten into. I'd have no relief. Not even turning into the fetal position.

I don't do it anymore though. Those cramps and aches are not worth it.
