Percocet, it's a good thing.... - Page 3

Howdy all,

Ok, so on thanksgiving I started having some bad tooth pain. I called my Dentist in St. Louis (I was visiting my boys in Dallas at the time) and leave a message about being in pain and needing some drugs to help until I can come see him. He never calls back and I'm stuck only taking over the counter Motrin, 200 mg tablets (turns out - as he tells me later - that he gets alot of "druggie" calls over the holidays and he thought I was just another one of those calls). I gulp a few handfulls a day to get through the weekend but the pain gets worse and worse and the amount of pills I need grow more and more every couple of hours.

On the drive home Sunday I was gulping a goo 16-20 tablets every hour to hour and a half. Yeah, insane amount of these little tablets and I'm sure there's a nice little kidney stone being formed right now, as my reward.

I see the dentist on Monday afternoon (I had two Vicoden left over from a Vaso-reversal the helped on monday), he says I need a root canal and gives me prescription for more Vicoden, but as the pain continue to get worse over Monday night, I was popping two of them bad boys every two hours and still in pretty good pain.

I see the Endodontist Tuesday after work. I'm there from 4 to 7 pm getting a root canal. I'm so numb from the stuff he shot me up with that my ear is numb, the bones of the eye socket around my right eye is numb, yet after he drills out my rotting root nerves I can feel the drill hit the tendon in my jaw. I wince, he's suprised I felt it, decides to do some experiments, and uses some wire to tap dance on that tendon. I did the only thing I could do, shoot him with some evil eyes. Yeah - you know he wasn't scared.

He can't finish the job because it was too infected still so I leave with a temp filling and an appointment to go back in two weeks so he can finish the root canal. He says the entire nerve was dead already and would guess that on a scale of 1 to 10 I probably felt like the pain was a 9 or 10. I tell him he's wrong because I'd rate it more like an 11 or 12.

I guess he felt sorry for me, because he gave me a big 'ol prescription of Percocet. I'm taken 4-6 of them a day, every four or five hours and I now understand the concept of addiction to pain meds. This stuff is awesome. I'm a little loopie, but oh well, small price to pay to be able to walk and talk like nothing has happened. It's more than just good on my tooth, I mean - my knees feel great, my back feels great, my ankle feels great. All those parts that usually yell at me through out the day all feel young and new again.

That is all, bet it ain't a I have nothing to add, biatches.
oh - and I don't care if you "discuss" it or not. I just thought I'd share.

Make no mistake, I didn't think I was doing a wonderful thing, but short of finding street drugs - I had no other options.....

I'd still take one every now and then if it was around, but I made her promise not to bring any home. They are just too good.

BTW 400-600mg of Demerol will definitely kill your pain he he.

Pretty much what I'd say. They're great fun, especially if you take one and drink a glass or two of wine (don't over do it, as ODing is a real possibility). I definitely do not want a steady supply of 'scrips, though, because they are way too addictive. They also become much less fun if you're doing them habitually.

Damn.

I was GOING to call you today and invite you over for the MU game.

The last thing I need is some druggie OD'ing in my basement.

Thanks for the heads-up.

While we are on the topic, anyone tried the liquid oxycodone?

Luke · 11-29-2007, 05:17 PM

Percoset will cause major constipation. I have scripts for Percoset, Vicodin, Valium and Flexeril. Three back surgeries, cervical fusion and other crap. Dr. Luke prescribes 2 Percoset and 1/2 pint of Jack Daniels. 'This will pretty much take the edge off of back pain. Probably should not operate bulldozers or other heavy equipment and also you will not be able to kick field goals past the thirty and your kickoffs will not reach the 15 yardline!

I stay off the bulldozer. Flying the Cessna around is really great while high.

It ain't bad. Works fast too. The morphine lollypops are pretty good too.

A co-worker said he'd pay ten bucks a pill for whatever I have left over
To which I responded, "mmm - you seem awful eager, and I'm already getting to better understand these magical little pills' power, I may have to bump that price to twenty."

"Done, you're the one holding the supply you can influence the price from the demand." he said, without batting an eye.

I ended like this:

"that was too quick I should have said thirty bucks."

"yup" again without hesitation.

Acetaminophen (tylenol) is the limiting factor in Oxycodone. Take too much and your liver gets ****ed.

Also, the mental addiction (the pain free feeling) to Morphine is a joke compared to the physical addiction you get after using opiates for a long enough period. See heroin addicts...

crazycoffey · 11-30-2007, 09:36 AM

Well today I only took one this morning and I'm going to try and make it through the day with only motrin, tough going already. At lunch I may have to hit the Perc again.

Oh and I'm sure the addiction to the opiates is stronger, wasn't ever trying to compare between those two, I was just commenting on how this was my first experience with it. I've never had more than Vicoden before and it was ok, seemed to serve it's purpose, but not on the same level as taking two Percocets at 6am, two more at 11, two at 4, two at nine and two before bed at 11:30.

The last two days felt pretty good.
