Kenny Easley of the Seahawks had to have a kidney transplant which he attributed to the bucket of Advil in the locker room. He said you just walk by and grab a handful all the time.

That sounds like my ex mother-in-law. She thought everyone should be on Zoloft. She got this great idea reading People magazine. I think she had a candy bowl on the counter full of Zoloft as was pushing them on everyone. Stupid witch!

Ibuprofen can cause problems if overused, but then so can aspirin and acetaminophen. Ibuprofen isn’t as bad as acetaminophen in my opinion and it seems to be more effective.

Zoloft sure did a number on my ex-wife. At least it took the edge off her PMS.

Yeah, if this is the main side effect it’s still a better trade-off then acetaminophen has.

Yessir. Acetaminophen is absolutely brutal on the liver.

i stick to aspirin, which seems to have an infinite number of beneficial side effects, on top of relieving pain

Do you know what is considered to be “overused”? I take two, 200 mgs, twice a day, most days (2 in a.m. and 2 at dinner for 800mg per day or less). As a female nearing retirement, I am not worried about my sperm count. I have back pain issues, and seem to be so much better with the regular ibuprofen.

I took ibuprofen for over 6 years and believe because of that I had to undergo a quadruple heart bypass surgery about 5 years ago. There was no family history of blocked arteries nor for any of my 3 siblings.

My surgeon instructed me to NEVER take ibuprofen again and suspected that was the sole cause of my blockages. Here's a warning regarding the drug.

FDA strengthens warning that NSAIDs increase heart attack and stroke risk:

“So a Male taking this long term could suffer muscle mass loss and a drop in Libido?

In other words growing older?”

I know someone who takes two every night before bed and pitches a tent every morning.

P.S. In addition I only took one tablet per night before bedtime that was 200 mg.

Yep, it is more effective for me too.

Acetaminophen when used over long periods of time or in conjunction with alcohol will cause liver damage.
