taking advil more than prescribed or told to take can burn the lining of your stomach. its extremely painful(i know, trust me)
you shouldnt be doing this, it isnt healthy. i wouldnt know if your addicted or not, only a professional would. talk to someone about this though, because theres something wrong and you have no other way of getting it out.

If you don't need them, why do you take them? You are addicted. If not physically, you are addicted mentally. Stop taking them and see what happens. If you can't stop or you get sick when you do, you need to get help. I really hope that you do get help anyways. You are a pill popper and doing that can have a very very bad impact on your health, mentally and physically. Good luck.

Well, no one can diagnose (sp?) you over the computer but it sounds like you might be addicted. Let's do the math to see how much you are supossed to take compared to waht you are taking.

There are 24 hours in a day. I'm just going to say you sleep for eight of them. So you have 16 hours left. You are allowed to take 2 pills every four hours. Therefore, you should only take 8 which you do.

However, by taking them everyday you will grow a dependency on them. And I have a feeling you have one. I advise you talk to your doctor so you can get some help.
