What would happen if someone took 6 advil at once? (for science project)?

Question

I'm not planning on doing this. It's for a project i'm doing on addiction to painkillers. So i'm just wondering. Would it make you dizzy? Light headed? Thanks.

Answer 1

6 regular strength Advil  is 1200mg of ibuprofen. There wouldn't be any unusual effects, unless that person was sensitive to NSAID type drugs. The most someone might experience would be a stomach ache.

Addiction to painkillers is generally limited to prescription narcotics, like oxycodone (Oxycontin) or morphine. There are a few other kinds of painkillers that cause a mild psychological dependence, but again, these are all controlled prescription drugs. You would not be able to use these for a science experiment.
