of pain medications?

Just got prescribed this due to a chipped wisdom tooth with a big cavity. Initially prescibed Vicoden. Vicoden didnt help the pain unless i took alot of aspirin with it. Quite a nice mood altering drug though

12/3/2007 4:27:05 PM

darvocet is nice

12/3/2007 4:27:40 PM

take 3 and see what happens

12/3/2007 4:27:41 PM

12/3/2007 4:28:01 PM

What ever happened to Darva Conger?

12/3/2007 4:29:07 PM

hopefully an effective pain killer as well as mood altering.

12/3/2007 4:30:32 PM

Darvocet is much lower on the "cool painkiller" list than Vidcoden...I don't think it's even a controlled drug.

Whatever works though.

12/3/2007 4:36:03 PM

darvocet sucks ass

12/3/2007 4:37:08 PM

you have to take a lot of it - if my memory serves me correctly, you can take a high dose because it doesn't have acitomenophen in it.

12/3/2007 4:38:45 PM

you can't take a high dose because it does have acetaminophen in it

fixed that for ya terp

12/3/2007 4:40:07 PM

my bad

Norco ftw...

12/3/2007 4:52:34 PM

when i had my knee surgery i had lorecet for right afterwards and then they switched me to darvocet for a while

it worked ok but the lorecet was better

12/3/2007 5:07:23 PM

I have a herniated disc in my back so I've had pretty much all the pain meds. I can request the ones I prefer. I'd say darvocet is just a bit more in my preference than percocet, with vicodin falling under percocet and Tylenol w/codeine coming in last.

Darvocet ftmfw

12/3/2007 5:21:11 PM

generally vicoden is my preference, had to take it plenty when i seperated my shoulder. but the dosage they gave me for this initially wasnt high enough.

one crazy one is the flexoril i got when i wrecked my motorcycle. not a pain killer but two will put you out.

12/3/2007 5:26:09 PM

^^you should probably get that looked at

12/3/2007 5:29:33 PM

what? you people are dumb. Darvocet is weak sauce. Its a schedule 4 drug, Vicdoin is schedule 3, Percocet is schedule 2.

12/3/2007 5:50:32 PM

darvocet is about as useful as advil.

12/3/2007 5:53:03 PM

I think that's what they put me on for migraines and it made me narcoleptic.

12/3/2007 5:54:00 PM

yea not much effect from the darvecet i took at 4:00

12/3/2007 5:54:07 PM

darvo-crap is more like it... sucks in terms of real pain killers

12/3/2007 5:54:36 PM

dude flexiril is a joke

12/3/2007 5:54:45 PM

that too..

i guess ignorance is bliss

12/3/2007 5:56:05 PM

true dat

12/3/2007 5:57:46 PM

flexeril isnt a painkiller though, its a muscle relaxer.

12/3/2007 6:08:09 PM

so what happens if you take 3?

12/3/2007 6:41:01 PM

darvocet (propoxyphene) has been proven to be no more effective than tylenol. I'm surprised the dentist prescribed you darvocet after you said vicodin doesn't help.

12/3/2007 7:33:23 PM

some people don't respond to vicodin

you can't go by the schedule to determine pain-killing effect. Vicodin works about the same as percocet.

12/3/2007 7:35:02 PM

darvocet sucks

12/3/2007 8:02:02 PM

darvo aint shit

fentanyl FTMFW

12/3/2007 8:28:52 PM

i took darvo when my wisdom teeth were taken from me



just made me nap





nothing exciting

12/3/2007 8:49:09 PM

vicodin sucks, even if you take a lot it doesnt give you the same euphoric feeling
hydrocodone ftl
oxycodone ftw (percs)

wtf? are you confusing that with buprenorphine or methadone

METHADOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE

12/3/2007 8:58:02 PM

hydromorphone bitches

12/3/2007 9:00:55 PM

ahahaha just found this on GIS:

you want to get fucked up? ETORPHINE. /thread

"It is most often used to immobilize elephants and other large mammals. Etorphine is only available legally for veterinary use and is strictly governed by law. Diprenorphine (M5050) is an opioid receptor antagonist that can be administered in proportion to the amount of etorphine used (1.3 times) to reverse its effects. Veterinary-strength etorphine is absolutely fatal to humans; one drop on the skin can cause death within a few minutes.[1]"

just because the drug has a high analgesic index doesn't mean it would be euphoric. 3-methylfentanyl was made popular in the eighties because it was easy to make and very potent, but it was widely reported to not be as euphoric or long lasting as either fentanyl or morphine.

the answer is dilaudid, always dilaudid

[Edited on December 3, 2007 at 11:27 PM. Reason : of course if you ask for it you are automatically branded a drug seeker with pretty good reason]

12/3/2007 11:26:53 PM

When I was at Rex for 5 days I was on a dilaudid injection schedule every 4 hours and I mean every 4 hours. When I came out of there I had to be weened off through percocet.

12/3/2007 11:34:08 PM

most healthcare workers in the hospital for surgery or such....get a dilaudid pca


almost as a professional courtesy

12/4/2007 12:03:35 AM

darvocet is most definitely a controlled substance

12/4/2007 12:04:36 AM

toradol


might as well throw out other random painkillers

fentanyl is ok

esp for neuro patients since it has a short half life

its not so ok for long term pain management because of said half life (unless its a duragesic patch)

i only use opana

12/4/2007 12:41:44 AM

darvocet makes me sick on my stomach and hot and dizzy...

vicodin worked better but didnt really do much

i dont really respond to pain much anyways

12/4/2007 12:49:46 AM

darvocet does nothing for me. the only pills that really clear my pain are percocet and plain oxycodones. i'm on a steady diet of 50 percocets a week. ultram helps a little too, but i have to take a lot.

dilaudid is really nice. i've had it in a pca during all of my hospital stays along with morphine injections.

12/4/2007 2:04:22 AM

set em up
