How many pain relief pills does it take to kill you?

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:31:05 +0000

I don’t to take too many pain relief pills so i was wondering about how many pain relief pills do you have to take to kill yourself.
AND NO I’M NOT SUICIDAL. I am just scared that i might accidentally take too much.

Take the amount that is directed on the bottle and no more. In case you haven’t seen the news lately plenty of people die just taking a few extra pills along with something else.

I take hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine sulphate, Soma, and Neurontin every day for a spine injury and I know that as long as I don’t mess around with them I will be fine.

Do yourself a favor and don’t try self-medicating.

I have been in a pain management program for several years and have seen far too many people ruin their lives taking pain medications more that recommended by their doctor.
It really is a bad idea.
Hope you feel better. If the pain meds that you have don’t work at the dosage directed then talk to your doctor before changing anything.

Really, I’m not preaching, I grew up in Southern California during the sixties so getting high is nothing new to me. But when it comes to heavy duty drugs like pain meds it’s best to listen to the guys that know. Your doctor

What pain relief medicine should i buy for extracting my wisdom teeth?

I just extracted two of my bottom wisdom teeth and i the doctor didn’t give me a prescription for pain relief medicine. Can you guys recommend what i should get?

As a dentist myself I always recommend Motrin (Ibuprofen), this is the best Over The Counter pain reliever as it will not only help with pain but will also help with inflammation. I usually recommend that my patients take between 600-800mg for ages over 18. Also try an ice pack, this will help numb the area affected and help with inflammation as well. If the pain becomes severe you may want to consider calling your dentists emergency number for advice or to have him/her call you in some narcotic pain medication. Good luck and feel better soon!

Are pain relief tablets safe to eat when taken out of their bottles?

I’m planning to take a few pain relief pills (Tylenol, Motrin) out of their bottles and putting them in a sealed Ziploc bag for convenience. Does taking them out of their bottles reduce the effectiveness of the pills? Are they still safe to eat?
I figure it will be okay because they will still be put into a sealed bag, but any information would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Putting the pills in a plastic bag won’t hurt the pill or it’s effectiveness. However, whenever possible you should leave medication in it’s original, labeled bottle. This will prevent you from mixing the medications up and overdosing, a child from thinking it’s candy and taking it, and other adults from taking the wrong thing. If I were you, I’d leave the medication in it’s original bottle if at all possible.

What is the best pain relief during labour?

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 17:31:02 +0000

Ive never been good with pain, Ive always had extremely painful period pains in life and in general have never been good with pain.
So now that i am pregnant and planning my labour, I would like to know what is the best pain relief as I dont want to have a stressful, painful labour.
Is gas and air going to be enough? does it actually take any pain away?
Or would an epidural be a better option?
What are the pro’s and con’s for both of these?

It depends on your situation at the time and when you end up in hospital in relation to the progress of your labour. If you are in advanced labour gas and air becomes the only option. If you wish an epidural, which is not without risk and increases your risk of requiring intervention, (forceps or a Caesarean,) ideally you should discuss this option with your midwife in advance. Otherwise the middle option is pethidine and gas and air in the later stages.
