Question Posted Wednesday February 21 2007, 3:23 pm
I've been taking Motrin for the past five days. I'm female, in my high teens. I have not seen a doctor, and seeing a doctor is out of the question. I'm taking Motrin that was left over from my brother's war injury. Each pill is 800 milligrams. I take about three Motrin a day, plus about 4 Ibuprofen a day, but I do not take Motrin and Ibuprofen at the same time. And I never take any pills on an empty stomach.
The medicine eases my crippling back injury, but I'm sick as a dog. I looked online for signs of an overdose and then common side effects.
Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Motrin.
Abdominal cramps or pain, abdominal discomfort, bloating and gas, constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, fluid retention and swelling, headache, heartburn, indigestion, itching, loss of appetite, nausea, nervousness, rash, ringing in ears, stomach pain, vomiting"
I have pretty much all of the above. The sickness I am feeling is horridly intense. I just want to know... are 'side effects' to be expected?? Or should I be concerned?
