      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 :)

      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.
