Am American. This many pills would expire long before the bottle was even close to being empty. I maybe take ibuprofen maybe once or twice a year.
Damn look at no-pain McGee over here. I rarely go a week without a headache necessitating a few ibuprofen
I’m gonna need to see some citation on the addictiveness of ibuprofen.
Multiple neurologists have just told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen whenever I get a headache.
800mg is no laughing matter. Feel bad for ya. Have they mentioned why ?
There is a “cavernous malformation“ in my brain.
Oh. Fuck. Feel really sorry for ya
I used to have to use Advil about 3 to 5 days a week since nothing else worked on my headaches. It had been going on for about 15 years. I went to the doctor complaining about them multiple times and they apparently couldn’t find anything wrong. I was worried about destroying my guts with the pills after my wife let me know how bad they can be for you.
Went to a doctor that was shocked that nobody had tried the obvious… turns out my blood pressure was too high (and the pills were making it worse). I took some blood pressure medication and now I haven’t had a headache anywhere near that bad in close to 6 months.
I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t experienced it but you may want to get that looked at.
have you tried making more money?

I fortunately do not get headaches often. I usually get them when I stop drinking caffeine for a day or so. When I do get headaches, I take acetaminophen.
