Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / October 2003Non- codeine pain meds
I need some help. I'm jumping through all of the hoops to get my tonsils out, severe sleep apnea and everything I've heard this is quite a painful surgery. My problem is that there is no codeine or derivative there of that doesn't make me nauseous. I've tried hydrocone, demeral and tyelonol #3 with codeine and taken them just about every way possible to avoid the nausea. Is there anything else that is less likely to cause nausea? Tylenol alone does nothing for me. The only medication that I'm on is Lotrel 20/5 daily. Thanks for any help you could give me, ROB > I need some help.

In some cases, it might even be as effective (or moreso) as small dose narcotics. In my own recent case, I found Vioxx to be MORE effective for me than Hydrocodone/APAP. (I was only interested in pain relief, and not a buzz.) I have heard some people proclaim Celebrex as superior to Vioxx, but for myself, I feel the opposite. Sometimes, the narcotic is the best choice (e.g. very severe pain), but Vioxx has been a godsend for me. John tramdol (ultram) maybe?

However, I still suggest Vioxx as an alternative.

Ultram has the same effect on her YMMV Regards Old Al. |
