ibuprofen is a remarkably safe drug. One person in one hundred will have some gastric distress with it (stomach upset) but most people have no more gastric reaction to it than a sugar pill. If you exceed 2400 mg a day, however, you will start to retain fluid.

There can be many symptoms, including nausea, dizziness and, with higher doses, gastrointestinal bleeding, confusion/delirium and even death (from overdose). Medications should not be used beyond the limits of directions on their labels (for OTC or over the counter medications) or beyond the prescribed dose and frequency.
It is not likely that you overdosed on Ibuprofen unless you took over 400mg. Ibuprofen can damage the liver if overdose occurs it can also damage other internal organs. Other side effects include unsteadiness, blurred vision, ringing in the ears, gastrointestinal, nausea plus vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pain.

The effects of abusing this drug would probably be the same as overdosing on it, which would be drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat, sweating, ringing or buzzing in the ears, confusion, disorientation, stupor, and coma. Abusing or overdosing on Ibuprofen can also cause severe toxic effects to the kidneys as well.
