Ibuprofin?

I read/heard somewhere that the dosage on it, since it's non prescription, is less than what used to be prescribed and you can safely take more. It says on the bottle - take maxium 6 200 mg in 24 hours. Do you know what the amount is? It was the only thing that helped my hypothyroid headache (which comes and goes, hopefully once I'm on the synthroid I can get rid of it for a while.)

I noticed it after months of use. I suspect once in a while it's not going to be an issue, but the doctor I had was basically prescribing this in lieue of getting me into a specialist where they later prescribed months of physical therapy and surgery to correct the damage.

Ugh. Treat the symptoms, not the problem, huh?
