Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
I had my wisdom teeth out a week ago and the pain since then has been a bitch. Like seriously. Plus, I've got dry socket. Ouch. Anyway... I'm on T3, hydrocodone and ibuprofen. I eat when I take them and don't take them more than every 4 hours.... I don't always take the T3 AND Hydrocodone together but when it's really bad, I do and it was really bad this morning.
All day I've felt like I was going to puke. Like really on the verge. I've tried eating (just had the broth from low sodium chicken noodle soup) and that hasn't helped. I'm drinking water and that isn't helping.
I have a dentist appointment in an hour but I'm going crazy here at work. Do any of these drugs make anyone else nauseous? What will help it?
My jaw is KILLING me right now but I refuse to take anything else because I feel so sick :(
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Try and ask him for a different pain reliever? Can you try to eat anything solid at all? Applesauce, jello, pudding, etc. You may need something more solid than broth to keep the nausea down.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Have you been sick like this the whole time? When I had my wisdom teeth pulled I was super nauseous for several days. I couldn't hold done any food at all...not even broth.
For me it turned out I was having abad reaction to the anesthesia. I had to get an anti-nausea medication from the doctor. Things got much better after that.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
I had applesauce and that helped for about 15 minutes.
Ava, it's happened a few times in the past week but I've usually slept through the nausea. Now, I can't because I'm at work. I'll be leaving soon though for the dentist.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Thats a lot of painkillers to take at once. You could be getting sick from the combo, or any one of them. Maybe try taking one at a time and see if you still get sick?
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Ask for some Phenergan; I think that one is the oral one. They have a butt one but I hear both work great for nausea.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
He told me to stop taking the vicodin....ibuprofen should be fine by now.
I totally forgot that I took a appetite suppressant this morning before I left for work. I bet that's why I've been nauseous all day... since it usually passes.
CKXXX (almost called you by your old nape, oops!) it sounds like a lot of pain killers but they are all pretty low dosage. I think my stomach is probably really sick of all the drugs though since I rarely take anything EVER.
I'm going to tough this shit out though.
I got my dry socket dressing thing changed which hurt like a mofo but has already made my mouth feel WAY better. So hopefully I'm on my way to feeling great again.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Have you been eating enough when your taking your hydrocodone? drink soemthing like ensure or pepto with it to coat your stomach. pain pills can make you heave
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Well I take Vicodin for my pancreatitis and other chronic pain conditions...if you dont want yours..ship it on over!!
j/k...yeah the appetite suppressent prob had a lot to do with it. Hope you feel better!
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Hydrocodone will cause nausea, I'm surprised he didn't pair it with Phenergan.

Phenergan takes away all my nausea no matter what's wrong with me. It's the only thing I've ever taken that makes me feel high off my ass, but it was better than puking all day.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
I'm tempted to send you some ginger cookies laced with vicoden or something.
I wonder if that's illegal to send through the mail?
:D
Get better sooooon!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
the only time they really search packages is if they look suspicious or smell suspicious!
I will take cookies any day :-D

i didnt take it after my BA, but someone on here told me it would make me fall asleep. i dont know if thats true, but if it is she wouldnt be able to take that at work.
man man man my dentist has been telling me to get my wisdom teeth out for so long but they rarely hurt and arent really pushing my teeth so i've put it off. i'm scared. i have the lowest tolerance for pain :(
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Britt, I have a horribly low tolerance for pain as well. But honestly, it wasn't bad AT ALL. I had general anesthesia and woke up feeling great. I was just annoyed by the gauze in my mouth. I actually commented twice on Thurs and Friday that I didn't know why I didn't have it done sooner.
What sucked was getting dry socket. And from what my doctor says, women on birth control are more likely to get it. Admittedly, I took 3-4 drags off cigarette's on Saturday night that I probably shouldn't have. But it was also starting to ache much more by Saturday then it did the Thurs I had it done or even Friday.
So, when you have it done just follow all the rules and you'll be fine. My dry socket went left un treated for four days and I think that's why I was in SO much pain. I thought there was no way I could have dry socket. I'm an idiot.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
i get nausea pretty bad, so i take phenergen which makes you sleep all day. I got 14 hours of sleep and still felt tired. I took it at work and I had no personality. You can't drive with this stuff, or take care of anyone else.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
If I take hydrocodine, I HAVE to lay down. Moving around makes me feel sick. Try sipping soda water and nibbling saltines and just watch TV.
ETA: Oops, can you eat solid food yet? Maybe something more carb-y than broth like clam chowder or something.
Re: Seriously naseaus... I think it's my meds?
Yeah, I'm all healed up now! and off the pain pills. Thank you though!
