Ibuprofen, 600mg »
I woke up about 2:30 this morning and my head was just pounding. I've been trying not to take any other medications since I started on Zonegran, to try and keep things as clear-cut as possible, but at that time of morning, I just wanted it to stop. So I took something. I managed to get back to bed and sleep for another couple of hours.
When I could sleep no more, around 6:00am, I took another 200mg pill, and that carried me through lunch or thereabouts. Unfortunately I had no more easy access to the bottle or I likely would have taken even more - but I didn't, since the bag was overhead in a bin. I took one more 200mg pill before going to bed at about 11pm, for a total of 600mg during the day.

When I really need pain relief, I take 600 mg of ibuprofen at a shot. 200 just doesn't cut it. I have found that the sooner you take it, the sooner you get releif. The next day after my chemo treatment, I get a Neulasta shot that gives me a lot of body pain about six hours later. I have found that taking 600 mg every four hours about six hour BEFORE the shot really reduces the pain.
My father was on 2400 mg for a while for his back pain. The only problem with ibuprofen is, it is tough on your stomach. Try to have something to eat the same time you take it. And I would recommend 600 mg at a crach.

I have been suffering from GOUT for some time now (since 2005). The last six months the only remedy to relieve the pain and the inflamation of the joints at my big toe and knee was Ibuprofen 600. I have been taken these pills every day for about 4 months now. I have had no side effects or stomach problems. Luckily I found (I think) a cure for my illness last week. I have not been drinking milk for about 20 years now. Last week by chance I started to drink warm milk before I go to bed. After a couple of days I noticed that I was not getting the pain I usually get when the Ibuprofen wears off. Now is a week I have been drinking milk (powder milk) and not drinking the Ibuprofen and not having any pain. I hope this information can help someone with the same symptons as I.
