Just don't use pills with codine in then and drink coffe, I did after a dentist visit and, boy was I flying high, was soooooooooooooooo happy!

I told the dentist not to give me codeine because it makes be sick. I got Darvoset but it has to be the lowest dosage known to man.

Codeine makes me itch.......and I mean itch......which is one of the bad side effects of it. But.........I don't tell my doc that cause I don't have any side effect more severe than that and when I need a pain pill I want it to be worth my while! LOL!

As for it making you sick Scarlett........do you mean nauseous? Cause if you do mean nauseous it could be that you take it on an empty stomach and drink TOO much liquid with it and just after it. It does that to me too at times when I'm not thinking but just want to get rid of the pain! Just a thought.......I don't want to sound like a "pusher" or something....LOL!

:D Lixy. Yes, it makes me throw up.
The pain hasn't been awfully bad this time around. The Darvoset I have is working pretty good, it just doesn't knock me out like I had hoped. I think (hope) I am over the worst of it now. Today was the 4th day since the extraction.

So glad you are feeling better (((((Scarlett)))))! Time can be a good friend!

Just an idea, but if codeine makes you sick and the Tylenol in it is just Tylenol, have you tried just plain ibuprofen? It reduces swelling, it worked for me the last time I had a tooth pulled (last month). I took that because the pain pills were too expensive.

And now I go next week for two root canals, and I can't take pain pills because I'm pregnant. So #1 thanks for everyone's advise when I get tooth work done, and Scarlett let me know what ends up working!


ps: the worst pain in my life was getting a shot at the dentist in the roof of my mouth. It honestly hurt worse than labor! Well the first 15 hours of labor anyway :rolleyes:

Get Well Soon!

Yep, that shot in the roof of the mouth actually brought tears to my eyes. That was the worst!
You are right about the ibuprofen. I have been taking it during the daytime and it does help. It doesn't work as quickly as the Darvoset, but it works :) The only time I hurt now is when I chew too much. I just have to take it easy on the eating.

Good luck with the root canals Kissyface. That was one reason I chose to have the tooth pulled...to avoid a root canal.
