      1. ibuprofen is addictive, in my country they are a prescription only medication because of this. Paracetamol on the other hand, is available off the counter
      2. too much ibuprofen or paracetamol is bad for you. Youre poisoning yourself
      3. never, ever, take that much pain killers unless you have a known condition and the doctor agrees. You could be hiding something else by using the painkillers
      4. i feel bad for you. Is the headache that bad? I usually ignore those but i have a high pain tollerence :)

        Multiple neurologists have just told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen whenever I get a headache.

            There is a “cavernous malformation“ in my brain.

      I used to have to use them about 3 to 5 days a week. It had been going on for years.

      Turns out my blood pressure was too high. Took some blood pressure medication and now I haven’t had a headache 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.

      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.
