Hi All,
I have to go to the dentist tomorrow am.
I have broken a tooth that has a partial crown and a root canal already (from about 15 yrs ago).I have no idea what she'll do about it. Maybe she can drill it down a little bit and put a cap on it. Maybe I get to see an endodontist (hooray!). At least it's in the back of my mouth, a major molar, and I don't look like a jack-o-lantern.
It's been bothering me this past week, and I've been taking standard doses of Naproxen Sodium (Aleve).
I am super super anxious about the dentist, though. If it's going to hurt, I will need a painkiller afterwards. I'm going to take 2 Aleve caps before my appointment. I get pretty sensitive to dental pain.
Current meds: Cymbalta 90 mg for major depression with a side order of anxiety; seroquel 50 mg for insomnia and mood stabilization/augmentor.
My question(s): Any painkillers that I should avoid? Do I need to adjust my dose of seroquel to avoid oversedation?
In the past I've taken percocet (whee!) and vicodin (zzzZZZzzz) for 1-2 week periods following oral surgery. Had no bad side effects, besides sleepiness. I still have one vicodin pill left over from last time. I will probably take it after my appt. (unless contraindicated?) I better do more research- don't want to hurt myself (well, not tomorrow anyways!)Thanks for your help!
