Do they still give you an almost 2 week script of hydrocodone after? I remember watching a lot of magic school bus high as fuck when I was younger for a few days after.
You mean the dentist who, when seeing me, told me immediately they don’t prescribe narcotics at that office and then immediately looked guilty when I said that’s fine, I just wanted a scrip for the big ibuprofen because taking 4 of the small ones at a time made my stomach sick?
Ugh, I hate that presumption among healthcare professionals. We’re not really in pain, we’re all just dRuG sEeKiNg.
I mean, I came to you with a medical problem, which is often solved by or improved by medication, so I guess technically, yes?
And if I’m in such pain that I require narcotics, wouldn’t you rather I see a doctor and take it with their supervision, or that I go find a dealer on the street?
I understand there are some people with addiction issues, but allowing a patient (especially one with no drug abuse history) to suffer, on the off chance they might use pain killers for fun, is so fucked up. I already have to jump through hoops to get ADHD medication for the same reason. It seems that in the US, you’re assumed to be addicted by default.
I get treated like a drug seeker even when I’m openly allergic to opiates. And yeah the adhd meds are such a pain in the ass to the point of counterproductivity
The dentist slipped when pulling one of my non-impacted teeth and hit me in the back of the throat with his whole body weight. He prescribed me 10 days of hydrocodone and when I called back and said the default dose still left me with a sore throat he called me in another 10 days of a higher dose.
Needless to say, my throat didn’t hurt anymore and I played WoW a lot (~2007)
I was told I could go to school the day after my wisdom teeth were taken. I took my dose of hydrocodone before heading to school and have no memory of that day at all. I never took the rest. Somehow I had no pain whatsoever after my wisdom teeth were removed and it was almost as if it never happened. Other people I know needed to take a week off.
When I got all 4 out at once, they gave me 4 pills, each is supposed to last about 12 hours. I had to do the math on how to efficiently take them on a longer schedule than once every 12 hours to minimize the pain spike when I switched to ibruprofin.
Loved when my impacted wisdom tooth that looked closely to that exploded in my jaw in 2019. Great times. Real glad my surgery was in February of 2020.

No. No they did not.

Good ole days haha. Doctors totally overestimate the addiction potential of a short term prescription and underprescribe now.

Same. I barely even took Tylenol and was fine
