Painkillers

[DarthInsinuate]

having a fairly nasty cold (nasty enough not to go to school), my mum has presented me with a range of painkillers: aspirin, paracetamol, soluable aspirin, soluable paracetamol, Anadin Extra, Lemsip Max, and chinese herbal stuff

normally i would do this scientifically, and test each painkiller for effectiveness, but my mum won't let me - so, in your experience, what do you find the strongest, fastest acting, and nicest to take

[Spider_dude]

lemsip max strength. take a few and you will feel the true effects of paracetamol.

Contramal - you&#39;ll be so stoned for the rest of the day you won&#39;t even know you have a cold :lol:

Imitrex - for migraines.

Just took one, should be kicking in soon. :mellow:

Immitrex isn&#39;t a pain killer though - it&#39;s non narcotic - I know, I used to have it in needle form for migraines :) Didn&#39;t work worth a crap though...

Demerol is wonderful... needles are better, but they won&#39;t prescribe needles for me, just pills - my doctor will pretty much prescribe anything I ask for now, because of the chronic migraines, have one more often than not nowadays... he&#39;s starting me on some other medication for it when I go back to see him though - some sort of anti-seizure drug as he feels I&#39;m being over medicated treating them... let&#39;s see - Demerol, prescription strength ibuprofen (1000mg per pill), Amerge, Fiornol, Naproxen (muscle relaxant), marijuana, prozac (yes, for treating migraines - depression and migraine go hand in hand), appetite stimulant, because I don&#39;t eat when I have a migraine... the list goes on... when it comes to treating migraines... been there, done that... :rolleyes:

Morphine is nice too - had that a few times when I&#39;ve been hospitalized... :)

[Sid Hartha]

Interesting. Imitrex so far has been the only thing that&#39;s worked for me (I&#39;ve been battling this for 30+ years now).
Tried just about everything you listed - even demerol. Marijuana definitely helps with the nausea, though.

[NikkiD]

They&#39;re starting me on this stuff called Topimax - it&#39;s generally used for treatment of epilepsy - when they did my catscan (while I had a full blow migraine) the brain activity was similar to that of a seizure. This is preventative treatment though, so something I would have to take every day - my aunt has been on it for six months now and has had only 1 migraine in that time... so I&#39;ve got my fingers crossed :)

[protak]

Demerol, Morhine, Valium, Dilaudid (knock you on your ass), any mussle relaxant or narcotic, but Sodium Pentathol takes the cake..Can you start counting backwards from 100? O.K. 100,99,98,97... Goodnight Charlie Brown&#33;&#33; :lol: ;)

Christ, NikkiD is handing out demerol to treat the common cold. I want her to be my doctor&#33; I could then look forward to my next head cold with great anticipation.

Nothing better than a nice bottle of Jamesons....but if that&#39;s out the question then Anadin Ibuprofen works a treat ;)
