How many aspirin pill do you take to feel numb?

Answer 1

There is no straightforward answer to this question. It depends on the condition you intend to take aspirin for, on the degree of the pain, your pain threshold, your physical size, your ability to metabolize aspirin (the condition of your liver, as your liver is breaking down aspirin), just to mention a few.

However, aspirin is not a medication that you can take too much of. It is not only for treating pain, inflammation, and help in feverish conditions, but, it is also a very powerful blood thinner. That means it prevents blood from clotting. While that is helpful in some medical conditions, it could be life threatening if you have a bleeding problem, and even if you don't, aspirin's side effects could be associated with stomach ulcer, bleeding of stomach, brain, even kidney failure.

Another problem of overdoses is that aspirin is an acid (salicylic acid), and it is capable to change your blood's pH level (making your blood more acidic than it should be). The condition is called metabolic acidosis, and it can be very serious.

Therefore, it is wise to ask for a medical advise and not to overstep the appropriate dosage.
