I had sever pain running from my jaw up into the back of my skull through the back or my neck.I woke up with sever pain due to a surgery I had and they prescribed me 800mg ibuprofen but I ran out. I weigh 250lbs and I want to know how bad this is if at all concurrent with my weight and size.
I just took four tablets of 50mg tramadol, how bad is that?

The symptoms you may experience after taking 4 tablets at once are dizziness, drowsiness/lethargy and nausea, possibly headache. Taking double doses like this could lead to habit forming behaviour and potentially dependence, please be careful. I hope you are feeling OK now
Yes, I felt a few of those symptoms mentioned. The pills knocked me out for a few hours but felt rejuvenated after I woke up. I feel better now and thank you guys so much for your help!
All they ordered after surgery was ibuprofen? Your weight has nothing to do with medication doses as an adult. You took twice the recommended dose. This isn't enough to kill you it might give you some side effects. Be careful you aren't dizzy and fall down today.
Thanks for the info. That puts my thought at ease.
You will probably feel a bit dizzy and maybe a little sick but as the poster before said it wouldn't kill you! Obviously if you feel very unwell seek medical advice and DON'T take any more for at least 7/8 hours after your last dose.
I myself take tramadol daily. I don't think you will anything except relief from your pain. And like the other post, dizziness when you arise from sitting too quickly.
