[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much.  This can really hurt your stomach.  I would take Tylenol if you have to take a painkiller this often.  I ended up needing a course of the "little purple pill" (Prilosec?) because I abused NSAIDs like you are doing.[/quote]

Wrong wrong wrong. It's aspirin that irritates the stomach.

Tylenol causes liver damage when taken too long, or in high doses.

Advil is a much safer drug. I don't know what 3x a day means (need to know the dosage) but lots of doctors will recommend long-term ibuprofin use. In fact, the longer you use it, the better certain problems get. Its anti-inflammatory effect means that certain muscular problems will heal better/stronger with regular use. [/quote]

Idiot. Advil is also an NSAID.

OP.  You should make sure you are under the care of a doctor if taking the advil that long.  If you are worried strictly about pain relief, then switch back and forth between advil and tylenol AFTER you call the doctor about why you have the pain.  And, be sure to examine your poop for blood.[/quote]
