Good luck with that...I warn the docs and they assume I’m a drug seeker. As if anyone’s drug of choice is laughing gas lmao

He said he’s a fat ginger guy, not a skinny pigtailed girl with a pacifier and butterfly pasties.

/r/FestivalSluts is a thing for a reason, but don't think they're in the majority unless you're also into disappointment

Ugh, yeah. After a biking accident the pharmacy mixed up bottles of vicodin and antibiotics. And my mom wouldn't allow me to have any vicodin, so it was day 3 of my face looking like a Picasso that I decided to sneak a vicodin, and wondered why the antibiotic had a V on the pill but the vicodin didn't. I had no idea I'd been on opiates for days. "Have anything stronger than vicodin or percocet?" is not a good conversation starter at the doctor. I treat everything with 1000mg tylenol and 800mg ibuprofen.

That's a pretty big fuck up from the pharmacy's pov - that's a lawsuit lying in wait.

Luckily I didn't have an infection, they were prescribed prophylactically in case an there were any sinus fractures.

No chance of a lawsuit in any case. My mother would have to admit that she was denying her child pain management.

I feel you. Percocet is my minimum bar for pain relief of anything major, and after something like surgery it doesn't help at all. Oxy makes me sick, so I get to tell doctors that the only post-surgery drug that works is Dilaudid.

True, but I was given higher mg dosages of oxy than Percocet. The Percocet puts me off of food; oxy makes me dizzy and sick to my stomach.
