Are you taking pain pills regularly?

Yea, the akasthesia makes them want to leave the ER pretty quickly. Just kidding. Usually I give Benadryl or Cogentin with it to prevent the akasthesia/dystonic reaction.

RE: pain meds... There's an article in the New York Times about limiting some schedule II's (OxyContin, Fentanyl Patch, etc.) to a select few prescribers.

its crazy if you think about it how many people are driving around on the roads on massive dosages of narcotics and benzos.

It seems like the ortho docs tend to prescribe high dose narcotics for extended peroids of time, even if the pain is acute, seems like these patients have the most sustained pain issues and are on narcotics for a long time.

a cure for ortho problems---loose weight.

i cant stand the N/V/D abd pain females though (the dramatic ones that stick their finger down their throats to induce vomiting) or come into triage with a bag of chips in their hands and they want to eat 1 hour after they get into the ER.

sorry just ranting

Hi, I was in a crash in Jan. and was very greatful for narcotic pain meds. While I was in the I.C.U. they had me on this stuff that starts with a d, Im not sure how its spelled, but its something like dolota. Then for about a month after I was out of the hospital, I was on percocets, then another week and a half on vicoden. Havent been on anything since then, and Im very glad that I dont need any of them.

Interesting note: IF you happen to be natural, off, or recovering, taking pain pills kills your LH signal. I don't have the study, but if you were to look it up, it's definitely true. I was on them for a while and my doctor said to have my test levels checked (and he is, no joke, probably the smartest guy I know). He said taking opiate pain medication regularly will kill your endogenous test. But then he offered to load me up with way too much androgel...

He was awesome. Got in trouble though, for reasons you might guess. LOL

They are absolutely the WORST when trying to recover. Seriously, if you're still on em, you might as well still be on test.

I don't use any pain pills; only Advil if something is sore. I had a bad experience when I was a teenager when my dentist gave me some kind of narcotic pain pills. They didn't do anything for pain, and they made me sleep for a week and get an upset stomach; after only taking 2 or 3 or whatever the dose was, over the course of a day. I'll take pain any day over sleep and wake problems, and/or vomiting.

I can tell you from past experience that pain pills over time will drop test levels to almost nothing! For anyone that does take them stop immediately.
