Percocet

[Vass]

S U C K S.

Let me rephrase that- Percocet rules the school for the first couple hours. Then it's total ass.

I had one impacted and one unimpacted wisdom tooth removed today. I guess it boils down to me being a big pussy- I was so worried about the anesthesia that I told them last minute "Fuck it, Doc- just go in". So he shot me up with a local, popped the oxygen on with just a little bit of nitrous, and got to work. No problems at all. I was psyched. Crunch crunch, out comes the saw.....but I've never really had a problem with that, because I KNOW the guy is trying to help me, not hurt me....so for some reason it doesn't freak me out.

Me and the wife go home- I start feeling a little pain, so I'm like, hey! Magic carpet, seating for one! Pop a Percocet. Had a nice time. Then 3 hours in, I'm icing my face, and I realize, holy shit, dude, you're covered in sweat. Into the bathroom lying on the floor. No puking. I finally get my act together & look in the mirror. LOL like a GHOST. Stuff got me good.

Advil now and I'm doing ok. There will be 15 more doses of the percs meeting the sewer system over the next couple days.

I can drink like a fish, but for some reason, the percs got me good. Anyone else have a similar reaction?

I had all 4 removed at once.
Your first mistake was relying solely on a pain killer.
The swelling is what is causing your pain.
Reduce the swelling and the Percocet will be more effective.

Ask you doc for a script of 800 mg Ibuprofen for the swelling.

You'll feel better in no time.

As for the Percs making ya feel sick. They tend to do that to some people. Ask for some Vicoden instead.

Totally agree about the ibuprofen. It relieves swelling & inflammation that the acetaminophen (Tylenol) in the percocet won't. You don't need a prescription for ibuprofen. Just take 4 200mg Advil. Same exact thing. Repeat every 4 hrs. as needed, taper back to 2 as soon as you can, and make sure you have something in your stomach when you take that much.

I had all four of mine removed at once. One of them was impacted and infected and just missed a nerve by 1mm with the infection. We stopped for ice cream on the way home and i rode hom ewith a pint of ice cream on each cheek.. lol it mustve worked cus i didnt swell much after that. But Doc gave me Tylenol 3 with codine and it did the trick with the pain. Im alergic to Ibupuken and asprin so its tylenol or vicadin for me. I like vicadin ALOT.,... lol Gods speed on the recovery.

Thanks for the advice guys- I've switched to the advil. Face blew up like a freak overnight. Kind of hysterical. Snapped a few pictures to remember it by.

Jacksonfreak- The one that was impacted was infected. He made me delay a day while he put me on an antibiotic. So I hear ya. Making it a bit worse, and the antibiotic is a heavy duty hospital type one because he didn't want to wait around for amoxycillin or something to work.

R- I had Vicodin when I had my one erupted wisdom tooth pulled out at the dentist a few years ago. For some reason it made the pain worse. So now I'm just rocking Advil for everything. Shit really is pretty good, considering how much pain I was in yesterday. I think some of the pain was my face "waking up" from the Percs.

LOL Zeegs, everyone wants my Percs . Once I'm utterly sure I don't need them I'm just gonna smash them or flush them. My wife had a friend raid her medicine cabinet a number of years ago. Kind of person you'd never expect. I don't need that kind of problem- My luck they'd get pulled over with the bottle & my name on it.
