I'm having major tooth pain. I need to get a molar removed, but can't do that until Wed or Thursday. The dentist that examined me today wrote me a script for Tylenol 3 (300/30) and amoxicylin. It doesn't seem that the Tylenol 3 is doing anything. I'm still in major pain. The prescription calls for 1 or 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours. I took the first one at 2:50pm. After it was apparant that 1 wasn't going to cut the pain I took a second one at 4:00pm. Still, I'm in pretty severe pain. The codeine made me a bit groggy, but I'm not able to sleep. I haven't slept since Saturday night, and was hoping to be able to do it tonite.
Can I? 1. Take a 3rd pill when it's time for round 2? 2. Supplement the Tylenol 3 with Extra Strength Tylenol? (I do worry about too much acetominophin since I took A LOT the last few days) 3. Suggestions from the Doc? Thanks in advance, I really would like to be able to sleep tonite. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) |

This reminds me of the time I had an infected tooth that needed a root canal. I had Tylenol and Codine which did nothing with the pain either. No way I could get any sleep.
Since it was the time of my young and not so smart days, and I was going out of my frigg'n mind, I poured about a half tumbler of Vodka, popped two more T&Cs and guzzled. I am pretty sure I was asleep within minutes and lucky to have woken up. Needless to say the above is not a recomendation in any way. Hope you feel better. -Jeff |
