Actually, I only took 2 of the meds they gave me. 1 when I got home from surgery, then ibuprofen from then on (I take 3 every 4-6 hrs or when needed, I only weigh aboit 110 lbs). Then one Thurs am, about 3:30/4 am when I woke up feeling like crap. Empty stomach, big mistake! Well, I only made it worse! Other than that, as needed ibuprofen. 2 as needed.Kathy,
I've found (and I've had LOTS of teeth pulled) that Advil (Ibuprefen) is great for tooth ans extraction pain. Just make sure the bleeding has let up first. You take 4 at once every 8 hours if needed. That's the same strength as the prescription ones the doc gives you but, two usually work for me. Get better soon.
But it's the codine that wracks me up! Better now, on the mend.I prefer codine

Ratty, I thought I quoted your post but, well, anyway, you rock! Your Dad is in good hands and I hope things continue to improve for you. You make me feel pink (which is good!)
