"Tried using Advil PM due to fibromyalgia pain and wasn't able to sleep. However, I probably would have slept better if I didn't take anything because not only did it not help me sleep, it failed to take any of the slightest pain away."

"I've been taking Advil (ibuprofen) since 1999 for headaches and body pains. I sometimes take this with the prescription medication Maxalt (which treats migraines). I've had REALLY bad headaches and migraines since I was in grade school and took Tylenol until I was in my late 20s. I then started taking the regular 2-tablet dose, 400 mg. I HAVE, on occasion, upped the dosage (not on doctors' instruction) to 600 mg if the 400 mg dosage isn't effective and the pain doesn't subside within 30-45 minutes."

"Advil works extremely well for toothache. I was taking prescription ibuprofen 600, and they don't work as well or as fast as original Advil, in my opinion. Starts to work 15-30 mins after taking 3 for me. This is an infected tooth that needed a root canal or is going to eventually be pulled. I keep Advil in my purse and will discontinue use after I have the procedure. Very pleased at how it stops extreme pain. A godsend!"
