I have chronic, severe pain from an autoimmune disease. I have been on an opioid pain relief protocol for 10 years now. As long as I am careful to follow my doctor's instructions, my pain becomes manageable and I do not get high. If you're that high, you've proncybeen prescribed too much. This might not be true in every case, but a well-balanced, precise program can make life livable without making me not care about life.
Yeah, this was one time where I didn’t agree with how he worded things. Properly dosed pain meds don’t leave you feeling high! Not unless you call that feeling of relief after you’ve gotten your hand out of the car door that it was slammed in ‘being high as a kite’. Am I happy I’m not in agony? Yep! Am I high and drooling? I am not.
My Walmart has finally started to sell Narcan! 😊. Also we have it in 2 of our emergency kits. Plus a defibrillator! A lot of Associates volunteered to learn how to properly use these. I was able to get the Red Cross to donate mouth guards for all of our kits. That was years ago (they still replace them regularly). Next is trying to get bagging kits; they're much better than doing mouth to mouth resuscitation
I was prescribed oxy after a surgery. But i didnt feel like it helped me that much with the pain, and I didnt feel any high. It just made me constipated. I ended up taking extra strength tylenol instead.
1 -500 mg Tylenol taken with 3-20 mg ibuprofen will help pain better than either taken separately. This does has been recommended by my dentist,pain control specialist and primary physician. It works.
I really wish it was that simple for everyone. As much as I would love to take such a convenient & inexpensive combo, that just won't work for some people bcz of genetics &/or auto-immune issues. I've been given tylenol repeatedly since 1977 & it has never once lowered a fever, nor reduced pain levels one iota, not even with up to quintuple the dosage. This also true for my father, my full-sister & my youngest son too. Then, after 2 injections in 2021 (& thank science for them bcz they've kept me alive& working) I've been going into kidney failure after even 1 ibuprophen tablet, altho I've recovered within 6 months each time. (I'll leave out the horrific effects on my heart after #2 & each booster, bcz having to stop to catch my breath & let my heart rate fall from 140+ every 20-30 feet for the next 6 months is still better than being dead imo) So CBD ointments, sativa gummies, cyclobenz-etcs., & pure spite have been keeping this almost 59yr old w/ 7 herniated discs, spinal stenosis, disc degenerative disease, generalized osteoporosis, & osteoarthritis in c2 & c3 (all diag by mri in 1998) lifting 2+ tons per week for my grocery store job (held since 09). I thank my fellow voters in Illinois for legalization bcz that is the Only thing btwn me & a life of joblessness /homelessness/ constant arthritic-spine agony. And yes, I'm aware of the link btw cannabis & stroke/ heart related issues, but my drs agree the stress of living in constant agony on the streets is much more likely to k*ll me. But yeah- it'd be nice if otc pills worked for everyone.
It does not work on me for long and I literally laughed when they suggested that because I'd been doing that for months to little to no effect. They're fucking insane if that's going to become the SOC instead of opioids.
My department issues us narcan and AEDs. Haven't used either yet, surprisingly. Did chest compressions once before I got my narcan. We are usually able to rouse them enough to be semi conscious by the time Fire gets on scene. Chest compressions are my jam, though.
Steve, the correct dose of opioids does not make you high or slobber on your pillow. It may make for a good video but please stick to the facts on TFTER.

I never felt high and was on pain management for spine trauma

@@KayPrescesky that is all ready SOC for dentistry according to my dentist.
😆 I wish! Bless your heart.

It's a wonderful drug but it also can be misused.
