OT: Painkillers

Post by theAntihero »

So ive had to have some dental work done, my root canal failed and now i gets an implant :mad: , but im having a hell of a time with the various painkillers ive been prescribed over the years.

The problem is i get incredibly dizzy from everything. Tylenol 3 makes me less dizzy but also doesnt work that well, Hydrocodone makes me super dizzy after 1 or 2 doses and Oxycodone works great for a dose or 2 but then i get very dizzy but less so than Hydrocodone.

Anybody know what i can ask for when i go in next for the post being drilled in? Or how to counteract the dizziness? I dont enjoy the choice between terrible pain and deabilitating dizziness everytime i go to the dentist.

Whiskey.


What's those non-narcotic painkillers that are all the rage these days? They're more potent than ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but they aren't supposed to dope you.

Yep this stuff used to work out pretty well for me, not really strong but no dizziness, but the its been banned for a couple years im told, something to do with heart problems from taking it :idk: , thanks for chiming in though.

Tramadol can still buzz ya, but it takes a few.


Some people's stomachs are very sensitive to it also (nausea)

Never liked any pain killers. They make me sleepy & constipate me.

I had to take Lortabs after a heavy round of oral surgury. I went about a week or so without taking a shit. NOT cool.

I put out a log that was about 2 foot long, and about as big around as a soda can. (and bled like hell. Felt like a date with John Holmes)

That's it! All I could think of was "thorazine" which I KNEW wasn't right. :lol:

Yup, it can, but its at least a narcotic alternative to try. Nothing like techs on pain pills. :facepalm:
