Codeine makes me itch and hydrocodone does not work. How do I get dentist to prescribe oxycodone?

Question

I have an emergency dentist appointment in a few hours because I has a filling fall out and my molar is completely rotted out and in EXTREME pain. I also have root infection and need a canal i think because oragel does nothing. I do not like codeine as it makes me itch horribly. Dentist usually wants to prescribe me Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and that doesn't have much of an effect on me for whatever reason. I was prescribed I believe Oxycodone in the past and it worked great and completely subsided the pain but I do not want to become addicted so of course I use it only as directed. However, I fear that if I bluntly ask the dentist for Oxycodone he will think that I am an addict or something and he will not give it to me. I hope a dentist will answer this question or someone with experience in the situation, so how should I go about telling the dentist that I would like Oxycodone for my pain as I know it is what works best for me? Will he assume i am just trying to get "high" or something if I ask specifically for Percocet? Please help, thank you!

Answer 1

tell him you are allergic to codeine. see what he is going to prescribe and let him know what your experiences with the different medications have been

Answer 2

Get a note from ur mummy & daddy, maybe one from ur family doctor just to be on the safe side.

Answer 3

My dentists always prescribed tylenol3 which is codeine, when that didn't work he gave me percocet. However, if the pain was virtually unbearable he gave my Tylox (synthetic morphine.) I would tread lightly asking for a particular drug. Just explain that the pain meds given,aren't working for you.

In order to kick off your weight loss program to a fast start, you must limit your carbohydrate intake to just 20 grams of Net Carbs a day for a minimum of two weeks. During this time, you satisfy your appetite with fish, poultry, eggs, beef and other foods high in protein and good fats such as olive oil. You may also eat 3 cups of salad greens or 2 cups of salad and a cup of fresh non-starchy veggies such as broccoli or zucchini each day. After two weeks, you can add an ounce of nuts or seeds to your daily intake of carbs if they don't interfere with your weightloss. Check out this site, this is where I get all of my weightloss tips.

Answer 5

That is interesting because hydrocodone has codeine in it, while oxycodone is very similar to codeine.

I would ask him about it and see what he says for pain control after the procedire.
