ACETAMINOPHEN vs TRAMADOL

TLDR; Wife, 30, was placed on ventilator today. Worried it is a death sentence. I cannot lose her. For auto mods, my wife is female, 30 years of age. She leads a healthy lifestyle and doesn't take any meds aside from occasionally taking pain meds like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and when she gets a m

32 (ftm) 158 lbs. I've had escalating bladder and urethral pain for months. My doctors don't seem to be taking it seriously. I'm the one asking for further testing while they keep repeatedly doing UTI and STD tests over and over that come back negative every time. The pain was and is severe. It feel

So this is going to be interesting. My husband is very worried and upset because a blood test be just did (to qualify for a new medication) returned with a really weird result. Dude does not drink, has trauma around alcohol so it's not like he's drinking in secret or something. Normal Ethanol Level

I'm a 36F and was diagnosed with Lupus at 23. Height: 5'3, Weight: 114, Race: White I had a bilateral salpingectomy done on the 7th of this month. During the procedure, my surgeon noticed that my liver was blue. She took a photo of it, but the blue doesn't show well. She said it looked far more blue

Hey everyone, I was wondering if there are any lesser-known or obscure OTC meds that don’t usually get much attention but can be surprisingly useful. Most people know the basics like ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and antihistamines, but I’m curious about the more niche products that are still available

This seems like dispensing medication. Would this be regulated by pharmacy laws?

Do you think when ED nurses go to a restaurant they order their food, then 15 seconds after the server leaves the table they go find the server and ask where their food is? Some of these nurses are insane. God forbid an acetaminophen order is in the verification queue for more than 2 minutes. I und

I was berated by my boss (also a pharmacist) for trying to prevent a shelf count discrepancy by writing on the top of one of the bottles. Med errors are not likely to happen due to this in our pharmacy, but just look at them! He's like: "You (staff) pharmacists cannot even read the bottle labels to

My pharmacy is doing a word scramble for pharmacy week. My brain just can't figure some of these out. Can you guys help me out?

Not the kind of "spot the difference" I wanted to play.

The one with the red X above it is a schedule III but the others aren't control at all but I can't find a difference in any of them. Same ingredients, same strength, all tabs.. Anyone know? And while we're at it, why is chlordiazepoxide (Librium) a control but chlordiazepoxide/clidinium (Librax) is

I'm stressed out y'all. I'm not going to get into why, I'm not up for a political debate. I'm not sure how so many are remaining cool as cucumbers right now but I'm hanging on by a thread. My fibro symptoms were getting so much better when I changed my diet and supplement, and medication regimen in

I was with my mom recently for her pain in the ER and this sign was posted. I just shook my head.

Massive rant incoming: I'm so tired of these doctors, man. I have been on opiates for a few years. They recently switched me from tramadol to percocet a couple months ago and it gave me my life back. Psychiatrist put me on wellbutrin too which has mad a huge impact. I signed up to start a 9 month tr

Hi all! I originally posted this on this community under my old account. Since today, I was told I was a “disservice to the community” for essentially calling into question the efficacy of Tramadol, I’d like to reshare my contributions to the community. For free. Please. Enjoy.

I had an infected molar pulled out today, and an implant put into place. They literally hammered the implant into my jaw. I told the dentist that people with Fibro often aren't helped much by Ibuprofen (what they usually give) so he gave me 50mg of Tramadol. It didn't help enough. Soon after getting

I (33f) have a mobility parking permit. Today some older guy (60s/70s) approached my window and started yelling at me for using one of the mobility parking spaces at the park, he was really aggressive with the way he was yelling that I’m not disabled, that I’m not allowed to be there, people were st

Hello everyone, I feel as if I'm invading this space as I'm not a sufferer of chronic pain myself, but I have intimate knowledge of the damage it can cause and wanted to tell my wife's story with it and how much I feel for any of you that are in chronic pain. My wife began suffering from intractable

Here is my experience going to a pain doctor for the first time. Spoiler alert: I completely regret going at all, it was my choice to go because I was so hopeful I would get help. ​ * Arrogant and uncaring attitude from the first appointment. I never, not once felt he gave a damn about
