20000mg in 24 hrs is a severe overdose! Immediately take activated charcoal and seek medical assistance.
The maximum dose for self medication should be below 2000mg over 24 hrs, with no single dose of more than 400mg.
The direct analgetic (pain killing) effect does not increase with doses above 400mg, however, doses up to 800mg show an additional anti-inflammatory effect.

When taking Tylenol and ibuprofen together should you lower the dosage of each?
Most Doctors would try to avoid having you taking both as together they can thin your blood. However, should you need to take both, as Ibuprofen (Naproxen) is an NSAID and reduces inflammation, you should take only 1000mg's of Tylenol (2 - 500mg tablets) and 2 Ibuprofen (2 - 500mg Ibuprofen) every 6-8 hours as needed for pain & inflammation.

What happens when you take 2 percocet 325 and 4 ibuprofen 200 mg?

Does Ibuprofen cause dehydration?
personal experiencei had a high fever, headaches, joint/muscle pain, swollen throat/glands.i was taking ibuprofen for 2 days straight, i was taking 2 every 4 hours.then on the second night the pain in my throat got worse so on my last lot of ibuprofen i took 3 instead of 2 which isn't usually a problem.but then in the middle of the night i woke up dehydrated, then when i had a glass of water i was dehydrated again 5 minutes later and my throat and mouth felt like cotton. so i had another glass of water and so on... only after my 5th glass did it calm down enough for me to sleep. i waited 12 hours and then started taking paracetamol instead but i was a lot more careful with them, they did not dehydrate me but they are not as effective (pain relief wise) as ibuprofen.so yes, i do think that ibuprofen does cause dehydration.
