Is it possible to become addicted to ibuprofen?!


Question:

Answers:
I feel it is possible mentally but have no proof that they are physically addicting. I have prescription strength ibuprofen and take it pretty regular. As far as I know there are no physical addictions related to ibuprofen, but if it works as well for you as it does me, it can be mentally addicting. Too much of anything is bad for your health, so try and "maintain" with the ibuprofen.

Other Answers:
Yeah, if you're taking them without pain.

Not physically.

it depends

Yea!If you do the right things.you will find you way!

only if you bash it with cocain

Anything that is mood altering can be addictive. Ibuprofen isn't usually addictive, but you can build a tolerance to it, meaning you need more to get the same effect.

Its also possible to take too much and cause kidney and liver problems.

yep.my uncle ended up getting a whole in his stomach and almost died from taking too many..and no it wasnt at one time.just like 2 every day when he got home from work

Not sure, but long term use can lead to stomach cancer. My grandmother was on it for many years for arthritis and got stomach cancer from it.

yes if once had a pane problem and once it was gone but you still found yourslef takeing the pills it is very easy to get addicted to a strong drug like that and it also depends on the dosaage so if you are addiced to the pill then call a hot line for help

Not that I am aware of, but it is in the nsaids drugs, and can cause problems with your digestive system.
