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

Imitrex - for migraines.

Just took one, should be kicking in soon.

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...

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

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.
