More than likely it will make you sick and you will vomit..depends on what and how much.  Pain meds are made to where they will make you sick if you take too many. Sleeping pills....depends..probably won't kill you but you may sleep for a while (I tried killing myself with sleeping pills, I just got high and didn't sleep for days).

I would wonder why your doctor is not giving them to you?? Are you under a pain meds contract? Best of luck finding somewhere with the new prescription drug enforcement laws now in place.

there are other pain releivers that are just as strong. goto you doctors office and see if they can give you samples. I wouldn't trust online. I've heard some are watered down, contaminated and/or not even the real thing. There are some programs to that help you with getting medication if you don't have insurance and can't afford it. talk to your doctor and/or social worker for more info.

NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen) are great because they not only alleviate pain, they also decrease swelling.  Ibuprofen is available over the counter, and is frequently recommended for post-extraction pain.\nNarcotics or narcotic combinations are popular prescription medications for pain.  While quite effective for relieving pain, they also can be addictive, and can cause respiratory depression in overdose.  The most common formulations are:\nPercocet: oxcodone with acetominophen (tylenol)\nPercodan: oxycodone with aspirin\nVicodin: hydrocodone with acetominophen\nTylenol #3: codeine with tylenol\n\nThe NSAIDs are non-sedating, but you should not drive, etc. while taking narcotic pain killers.

I have severe nerve damage to s-1 and l-5. I have been on Oxycontin and percocet for many years. If your husband is not taking these for recreation and taking them as needed for actual pain, That is why there is pain management. It is not addictive, it is called physically dependent. I am relatively young (45) and have been in this condition since 1997 due to an accident that was no fault of my own. I have to work everyday to support my family (5 girls) and a wife. I would much rather control my pain with medication than to risk being down for 6-8 months without a guarantee of less pain than I am in now. Maybe when i get older i will reconsider the surgery, Right now i get up and go to work everyday and can still provide for my family. I think that if you have pain and do not abuse your meds, it is a better quality of life than being in chronic pain and suffering on a daily basis. Don't abuse and you will not be addicted, just physically dependent. Also i have had a disco gram and it is no picnic. It is more like several epidural injections at one time. Zanaflex works pretty good for the skeletal muscle relaxer without the side effects of zanax. Also a narcotic without all the Tylenol like low doses of Oxycontin and immediate relief Oxycontin are not going to destroy your liver like narcotics with the Tylenol in them. Have your liver enzymes checked on a regular basis 3-4 months apart.

You mean feeling pain 24/7's...Yep, drag isn't it!!\n\nHere in Oregon we have a more open approach to pain management. Several years ago (2-3) we  have a pain management commission to help us who have chronic pain. The link is below and maybe your state has one?\nWe are one of a few states who have legalized marijuana to be used for pain management. \nPain is one of the top conditions people go into the doctor for! Codeine does not help all that much. Been there done that with the drugs. Isn't it nice to be a legal drug user (this is sarcasm). Doctors being the drug pushers, here try this that doesn't work try this. \nThen if you go to a new doctor you got to darn near have a copy of your medical records in your hands or they think you are a druggie trying to get your meds cause you need a high.....if you do not have the records with you they want you to pay for all the tests to be repeated, this is expensive!\nPain meds put me into a seizure (I have these too) not long ago so I am still not real happy with the legal drug pushers I call the doctors....\nOne of my conditions is RA (my system attacks itself), very painful! My fingers and toes curl in the most painful un natural ways....and the pain in my joints OMG! \nSo I do understand! I hope someday that these diseases that cause so much pain will soon be terminated!\n\nBTW it would be nice to be drug free, however after almost 30 years of daily pain I am not that strong anymore...it wears you down...

How much pain your feel will have a lot to do with your pain threshold.  Some people just handle pain better than others.  You probably won't really feel anything until most of the anesthesia is out of your system (at least a couple to 4 hours).  Be sure to ask your doctor for a prescription for a pain medication, and make sure you don't let him tell you Tylenol or Motrin.  You can buy those if you need them, but you'll be calling him at 2:30 in the morning and won't be able to find a pharmacy, if you leave the hospital without a script.

In your own words: "I would gladly be addicted to opiates for the rest of my life if it means I can be out of this pain."  The doctors are right to protect you from yourself.  Have you tried therapeudic massage, thermal water treatments, etc?  I wish you luck.  Living in pain is certainly very depressing.  You have my sympathy.

a lot of people seem to be suggesting pills and painkillers. being natural is the best way for your body. you dont wanna be feeding on chemicals every month. Heating pads sound a good idea. not sure if we have them here, i tend to opt 4 a hot water bottle. Have a nice long bath, get your hot water bottle, warm drink and maybe some sex thrown in for good measure.
