Very sick, pain medicine question...

[CheGuevara]

I woke up this morning to vomiting & diarrhea (never had both at the same time before)... I think it was some sushi I ate last night (puked so hard I saw food from Friday night), needless to say, my head is killing me (called my doc who is on call and he called me in some phenergan (my mom is going to pick it up now)) (he prescribed me oral and suppositories).. (Hoping oral will work)... anyways, I have been taking oxycodone 10mg / 325 apap as needed for pain and I don't think it's digested AT ALL... So I'm starting to think I'm wasting it...

I haven't ever snorted or IVed before (dont plan on it), but I'm thinking about plugging (head and body is killing me, Im desperate)...

I have taken about 2600 mg of apap today and I really need some pain relief... anyone else think I should plug it? (I havent had an upset stomach in a few hours)...

I read that the body doesnt really absorb tylenol well when you plug...

any help would be great...

thanks

It sounds like you are quite sick. Since you don't how much of the oxycodone or apap for that matter was absorbed, I advise you just put that down for today. For pain I would take ibuprofen, it works better than apap. It could be a little hard on your stomach, so take it after you take the phenergan. With phenergan, and ibuprofen you should feel better. No reason to take more apap, and oxy won't help with the nausea, could even make the headache worse.

Your feeling sick so just put the oxycodone down for today, it will be a waste. The oxycodone will probably just make you more nauseous. Take some Ibuprofen for your headache. Basically wait until your not sick anymore and take the Phenergan.
