Common Questions and Answers about Can you take ibuprofen and vicodin together

ibuprofen

Avatar f tn t gone to the ER I would certainly do so. They will advise you what to take and possibly provide you with a prescription. Good luck. I know how painful a toothache can be. I hope you will soon be able to see your dentist.
Avatar n tn I found out through a doctor who is retired that if you take ibuprofen and motrin together that you get the effect of a half gram of codeine. Its almost similiar, I did not believe him, he told me take 1000 mg of ibuprofen and 500 mg of motrin together and bigger than all get out it worked just as well if I took a couple of vicodin. It really does work and its so much cheaper, the walmart brand is the best. Good luck with your teeth....
Avatar n tn They gave me morphine by injection at the ER and prescribed Vicodin and said I could take that as soon as I got home. The Vicodin worked at first and I fell asleep. When I awoke, I was in excruciating pain, worse than when the injury first happened. It was 2 hrs before I can have another Vidodin so I took 800mg of ibuprofen. It is still another hour before I can have the Vicodin and I'm trying to be patient but the pain is incredible. Ice pack helps some.
Avatar f tn Then you can take some Tylenol instead together with the ibuprofen. They work well together for pain. Never take Tylenol while taking Vicodin though, because you may ovedose on acetominophen and damage your liver further. You should not have much withdrawal on the dose you are on, so don't worry about it. Go0d luck to you and feel well.
Avatar f tn Ibuprofen and such tends to give me stomach pain and I've been On ibuprofen for years. Heat helps but just for the 30 sex or so the heat is applied. Other than that nothing.
Avatar f tn t cut it for you then the next time that you can take some meds take the percocet. By the third day I barely needed the advil anymore. I hope it starts to feel better for you soon! Take care and keep us posted.
1148241 tn?1294052796 t Drs but experience counts for something if its what your Dr has told you. What do you guys take? Is Ibuprofen the best over the counter thing to take? Is it "safe enough" ?
Avatar f tn I was taking 15-20 a day for feet/leg pain and I had two ulcurs open up on me during the night and I almost bled to death. Be very careful! You will notice that over the past 2 years ibuprofen manufactures are now required to place warning lables on pill bottles.
Avatar m tn I'm not sure if you can get physically addicted to a pain killer in six days, but I guess you could be mentally or emotionally addicted to it. Sometimes after a surgery people experience depression and/or anxiety, and it sounds as though you definitely have some anxiety. You shouldn't take additional Tylenol if you're taking Vicodin as it has Tylenol in it. You can take ibuprofen, which helps things other than pain; it helps inflammation.
Avatar n tn Can I take pain medication for a toothache. Im a diabetic and I dont know what medicines I cant take. Is tylenol 3 ok?
Avatar n tn i also have not had any typical withdrawl symptoms from stopping the vicodin. i have degeneration of my t3 and t4 vertebre and spinal rotation and of course subluxation. i have had 2 diagnosises and both times the prognosis was long term chronic pain. i have blood work done every 3 mths and it has always been normal. i am worried that the tramadol and ibuprofen could damage my liver. i only take 7.5-750mg vicodin. wouldnt it be better to just take the vicodin again?
Avatar m tn When used for short term they work wonderfully but for long-term, tolerance makes you take more and more to get the same relief. Once you are taking obscene amounts, then the opiates start to make you ill as well......ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! I too share this problem and I have found nothing that helps me be "comfortable". I hurt like heII all the time but then again, I also hurt like heII all the time when I took opiates. I now take tylenol because NSAIDs hurt my stomach too.
Avatar m tn For short periods these are great but long term use not only causes liver damage but NSAIDs used long term(over 2 wks) can cause kidney damage. If you have pain and take narcotics as perscribed or less, the likelyhood of becoming dependent are between zero and nothing.A Dr. once told me that we are only trying to lessen my pain not eliminate-make it bearable.
1386405 tn?1291587800 ok I just read online that you are not suppose to take ibuprofen while you are pregnant again im 5 weeks i took total of seven not all together of course over say a period of maybe two days due to a severe toothache did i do something stupid is my baby going to be ok.
Avatar f tn t a narcotic, If you want a narcotic tell your dentist to give you Demerol or morphine, that would get rid of the pain, but they are a lot stronger than vicodin and then you would have to start over after all your surgeries, bone grafts, etc and detox again which I think would be hard on these two because they are a lot stronger... sorry don't feel like I helped much...
Avatar m tn What can you take for the pain other then tylenol? What can you do or take to help with sleep.My first night I was up all night with pain in my legs also head and even my hair was hurting too it feel like someone just rip out a bunch of hair.
Avatar m tn t remember how many of each to take and how many hours apart to take each of them. Is this safe? I would rather take these then go back on pain meds! Thanks!
Avatar n tn can you take methadone and catapres together? and if you do take both catapres and methadone ,how will it affect you?
1041243 tn?1375230520 but in my personal experience, thats all that vicodin does, too. vicodin makes me violently ill and i found that ibuprofen, tylenol and asprin all worked better than the vicodin...but i talked to my doc first, which is what you should do.
Avatar n tn u should not only for the reason that everyday forward puts another day between you and your addiction so i say you keep moving forward, you can not expect to not have any w/ds, and you and you can not use every time you start to have them or you are never going to be clean, theres no magic pill thats going to take your w/ds away, and if you pick up a pill everytime w/ds get rough you are never going to get clean.. .taking pills=not clean....
Avatar f tn Tare up the script while your thinking straight .If you are in allot of pain , you can take ibuprofen , then 2 hrs later take Tylenol and altenate every 2 hrs .
