Maleficent was going to release Aspirin into the air to end the world and I had to find her within 3 days or she would go through with her plan.

(Ibuprofen, NS, and Aspirin are all NSAIDs)

I am both curious and trying to figure out if what I use is typically most effective.

Hey I was talking to a coworker and they said that it was safe to take aspirin "until your ears ring", which is the first sign of overdose. If you then immediately stop you'll be completely fine. She claims her surgeon brother told her this. Is this true???

-------------------------

While it's correct that tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is one of the first symptoms of overdose (along with nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, and fast breathing), logistically there's not really a way to take it "until your ears ring".

Tinnitus is most common in acute (one-time) aspirin overdoses. And it takes about an hour after a toxic dose for enough of the aspirin to get into your system to cause tinnitus. So by the time you have the symptom, you already took too much an hour ago.

Plus, tinnitus is just one of the first symptoms. It doesn't say anything about the severity of the ingestion, or whether or not it was lethal. All it says is that there is too much aspirin in the body.

Following tinnitus, nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, and fast breathing, the blood becomes very alkaline. Symptoms include numbness and tingling, muscle twitching, fatigue, and dizziness. You also lose a lot of potassium in your urine in this phase- and the resulting low potassium in the blood can cause lethal heart rhythms. If you survive this, the blood then becomes life-threateningly acidic. Symptoms here include weakness, confusion, headache, and fast heartbeat. If the acidosis is not corrected and the potassium replaced, either of these things can lead to death.

About half of aspirin overdoses are intentional. The rest tend to be children who accidentally drink liquid preparations of aspirin or ingest oil of wintergreen (one teaspoon (5ml) of oil of wintergreen contains the equivalent amount of salicylate (the active part of aspirin) to 21 adult aspirins).

It is super important if you are having symptoms of overdose to go to a hospital. You need to get potassium back into your blood and get your pH back to normal or the overdose can absolutely be lethal.

All this to say there's not really a safe way to overdose on aspirin. I'd just stick to what it says to take on the bottle, and if you need more pain relief than that take acetaminophen/paracetamol (not ibuprofen) on top of it, along with other modalities of pain control like heat, cold, distraction, positioning, splinting, or mobility aids. If it continues, talk to a doctor.

ROUND 1

Aspirin - Corpse Attack!!

Propaganda under the cut!

Aspirin:

"It's the only vocaloid song I like lol"

Corpse Attack!!:

"This was a song for all the edgy teens back in the day. I personally think it's an absolute banger, but I think a lot of people just thought the title and the video by Deino was gnarly. It's an interesting example of early attempts at making Vocaloids perform unclean vocals!"

"Been a big fan of utsu-p since I joined the community, basically everything he makes is great but corpse attack is I think one of his most recognized song.the powerful screams that he manage to make, the cool guitar and powerful instrumental, it's pretty neat(also hi mutuals who may have guessed who I am)"
