Had all 4 Wisdom teeth removed, sitting here in pain staring at the codeine bottle....

[jagec]

I did mine (all 4) while awake, obviously they used local anasthetic. It was kinda cool actually, I won't go into details unless you want me to 😉

...and it was only $200 total 😀

You drink only water the first day, papaya juice is pretty good for the next few days.

 

[Slacker]

Tough it out and save the meds for a rainy day.

 

[Ymmy]

DO NOT TAKE IT!

1st day I took it, didn't do much.

Second day was the worst day ever, I much rather take the pain!

DO NOT do this, breaking the pills will cause a much faster reaction!

(It can be fatel)

Do a google.com search on it.

Complete and utter BS!!! My wife, who has fibromyalgia, is on a continuous Vicodin prescription and she constantly takes 1/2 pills....breaks each and every one in half. A whole pill is taken on rare occassions, but a half is just about what she needs to control her pain. A half of a Vicodin WILL NOT be fatal, N00b.

Now, there ARE some medications that are not to be split, ie Coumadin, but there isn't a pain pill out there that cannot be broken on its score mark and taken. Did you ever wonder WHY the pills were SCORED in the first place?

Codeine didn't work for me when I had my wisdom teeth pulled.

I got lodine and it worked much better.

It's been a long time for me, but I had them out 2 at a time. I don't recall much pain. I mean, it wasn't a traumatic experience. In fact I'd prefer to have a couple wisdom teeth pulled than get an average case of the flu. 4 at once would be worse, obviously.

Whether or not to take the codeine? Myself, I try to stay away from pain medicines and medicines in general, but I'm sure if I was in enough pain I'd reach for the bottle. I'm not religious about it, IOW.

 

[clamum]

If you get nauseated on the codeine, try drinking ginger tea, or taking Dimenhydrinate (Dramamine). Laying down also helps in relieving the nausea.

Anyone wants to share some sourdough bread or potatoe chips??

IIRC, any pill that is "timed release" ought not be broken, though these are generally capsules.

I wouldn't take it. Especially if you are like I was and not eating as much as you normally do. The codene will exacerbate feeling weak and tired. I felt exhausted for a couple of days after that, and I'm sure it was in large part due to the codene. The only reason I took it was because I like to sleep on my side and it was applying uncomfortable pressure to my jaw when I did.

Moron. Quit spreading FUD about stuff like this. Hydrocodone is perfectly safe to break/split.

Yeah it's easier to swallow that way, and I doubt it comes on faster... one piece compared to two? Naw. Heck, you can crush time release OxyContin and snort it and you don't die, unless you do a crapload of it w/ no tolerance to them.

 

[preslove]

If it's codeine and not vicodin/hydrocodone you can crush it up and snort little lines until you feel ok. That way you can ingest less than half. Snort a ver small line, see how you feel. Still in pain, snort another. You should stay away from naseu if you don't take too much.

Haha I don't think he wants to snort pain medication he got for his wisdom teeth being removed but that's up to him 😛. Taking it orally would result in slower onset and most likely, less nausea. Besides, there's probably acetaminophen or another OTC pain medication in the pills, which isn't too great to snort.

That's why I said "if it's codeine and not vicodin/hydrocodone." It's the acetaminphen in hydrocodone that makes snorting a no-no. Anyway, snorting only bad if you are addicted to something snort-able....

I'm 99% sure that there's not *just* codeine in those pills. I think there's acetaminophen or another OTC pain med in there, along with binders, fillers, and/or starch and whatever else is in them. Regardless, snorting anything isn't good for the inside of your nose.

Look up the pill on RXList.com, it'll say what's in there.

Damn straight. I was awake and all I took was Advil. I think they prescribed some vike but I toughed it out 😎.

 

[volrath]

They drugged me up with like 6 pills before the operation until I could barely walk from the car to the chair. Then, they gave me an IV to put me out. I still managed to wake up in the middle of the operation, and start resisting them (I didn't know what I was doing). The pain began as soon as I woke up, and continued for a long time. They said I could only take the perceset they gave me every 4 hours, but they would only releive the pain for about 2 hours. So I would be staring at the clock in pain waiting until I could take my medication. When I went to sleep, I would wake up drenched in sweat, needing another pill. Yeah, that wasn't fun. Also the fact that i got an infection and had to take pills so large that I couldn't swallow them. And the swelling that lasted long enough that I had to start the school year looking like a chipmunk.

Worst month EVER.

I guess it's spelled percocet

 

[Steve]

I remember when I had all four of mine cut out. The bottom two were impacted. I did get a scan of my x-ray, though.

They wouldn't give him pure codeine. Pure codeine is unheard of.

Why not just hoop it? It's not bad to shove drugs up your ass unless you're addicted to something thats shoveupyourass-able.

You are BS!

"Breaking them would cause too much drug to be released into the blood at one time leading to a potentially fatal dose of oxycodone."

I told you already, DO YOUR RESEARCH first before flaming people.

Dumb n00b.

What is the most important information I should know about OxyContin?
? Do not crush, chew, or break controlled-release forms of oxycodone such as Oxycontin. Swallow them whole. They are specially formulated to release oxycodone slowly into your system. Breaking them would cause too much drug to be released into the blood at one time leading to a potentially fatal dose of oxycodone.

Sounds like you're the dumb n00b, we were talking about lortab and codeine, NOT OXYCONTIN. Vicodin is NOT oxycontin, n00b!.
Lortabs (Vicodin) are fine to break in half, as I have had many doctors tell me if the whole one makes me sick, try taking half of one.

You = PWN3D dumbass ignoramus.
