Lets say I get into a car accident, and I need oxycodone (which I have zero tolerance to) or something like that during surgery or afterwards. And they force me to take it or to take morphone or something. Can I reject the medication because it will definitely interact with the tramadol that I am on 24/7 and not by prescription. I take 200mg tramadol twice a day. Will they then force me to take something like laughing gas, if i decline pain meds, which will still affect the tramadol (IME tramadol violently interacts with any other analgesic medications, anyone whos tried it knows).
If they prescribe me narcotics its simple, I just dont take any and tough it out if Im in real pain or hope that the tramadol helps enough. But my question is, if something ever happens and I get rushed into surgery, can I legally decline them putting iv pain medication or laughing gas into me and just tough it out while awake. If they give me anesthesia while Im on the tramadol id likely die. This has been my biggest fear/concern while living on this drug.
Thanks
