[brigden]

Vodka.

 

[mchammer187]

excedrin for headaches

advil is good for everything else


from my experience anyway

 

[Eli]

First, get some anbesol or whatever it's called....

 

[Anubis]

beer

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

I like Motrin/Advil/ibuprofen.

 

[Brutuskend]

Drive up to Canada and get some 222's

They WORK!

Nothing I can get here in the states O.T.C. does SH!T for me...

Get some ibuprofen. If it's near your wisdom tooth, then get that checked out ASAP! It could be that your wisdom tooth is hitting your other molar and an infection has set in.. in which case it'll hurt like a mofo for a couple of days.

Or Goody powders.

[thatsright]

OxyContin. Its so over the counter you need to get it from your local street pharmacist.

Failing that, get some Aleve. It prob. wont get rid of all the pain, but it will help.

 

[Chronoshock]

When I got my wisdom teeth removed, I used motrin and percocet. Percocet isn't quite over the counter so go for motrin which is really just a big dose of ibuprofen

 

[Gurck]

OTC, nothing. If you're going the non-OTC route, heroin

 

[clamum]

Vodka.

are excellent advice. :beer::beer:

 

[Blayze]

Excedrin Migraine is the best OTC med that Ive used for a headache.

Advil works good for tooth/mouth pain.

it works wonders if you take all 3 at the same time

 

[bandana163]

Apranax (550mg) is pretty good for toothaches.
I don't know if it's available over the counter where you live, though.

 

[Ikonomi]

600-800 mg of ibuprofen takes care of most aches I have.

 

[gUEv]

do they really sell codeine in canada?
vicodin?

OTC painkillers do absolutely nothing for me. (If you have any access to stronger painkillers use it...) If it's a tooth pain from a cavity maybe one of those Ambesol or clove oils might help, but I've never tried these.

You might consider some booze and some sleeping pills (or benadryl), something with Diphenhydramine HCL in it. (if drinking, make sure it's plain D HCL and does not contain anything elses) I the standard dose is 50 mg, but if you drink (not stinking drunk, but a good few drinks...) and take maybe 75-100 mg this will knock you out and you will sleep like a rock tonight, and you'll be dozing off much of tomorrow. Do the same tomorrow night, then you can do a more normal (50 mg) dose sunday night. Monday comes and you're off to the dentist.

This way you will have slept off most of the time with pain.

I know drinking and overdosing sounds bad and I won't argue that fact. I will say that I have taken rediculous doses of OTC sleeping pills (due to increasing tolerance) for extended periods of time + drinking, and I've never had any bad health resulting or anything show up as abnormal in bloodtests in yearly checkeups since then.

I've done the whole prescriptions pills + OTC + drinking thing for a few years (trying to fix insomnia, only made it worse in the long run though...), and got off it. It hasn't effected my health so I think I stopped before doing any real damage. A couple of nights of this though should be safe enough.

Yes and no.

Yes: They sell 222's over the counter ( Aspirin caffeine and codeine )
No: You can't get Vicodin OTC.

too lazy to read all the posts, but i am in the dental profession

anbesol SUx

try some excedrin

 

[Hossenfeffer]

excedrin works pretty well.

Also consider Orabase (as opposed to Oragel, Anbesol, etc.). It's the same ingredient as Anbesol but in a paste form. Better particularly for canker sores and such.

You could also try and crack the tooth and suck out all the puss.
