Prescription pain pills while breastfeeding?
917799
Talk with your doctor or pediatrician in specific to see what they say. I had a c-section and was given vicoden and 800mg motrin while I was nursing(Both c's, breastfed 2 different times). I was told that it was safe to nurse, that not enough medicine would pass through to harm the baby. Plus it is only for a short time. Only take what you need. You can also express milk after pumping and feed the baby pre-pumped and stored milk for a few days if that would make you feel better.\n\nThe doctors were very careful with any other medications I was given. I had to have a gastroscopy and was told not to breastfeed for 24-48 hours after that  because of the drugs I was given. So make sure to check on the anesthesia that you're given.

G'day Gizmo82979,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThere are concerns about Chantix or Varenicline for people with kidney problems and breastfeeding mothers. There are also a wide range of possible side-effects such as nausea, headache, vomiting, flatulence, insomnia, abnormal dreams and dysgeusia.\n\nIf you are having problems with it, see your doctor.\n\nI have attached sources for your reference.\n\nRegards

Yes they are. You should take them as long as you are nursing.

Never tried, never will.  These pills, most likely, affect your hormones or cause your milk glands to swell.  If you're not 100% about something, whether it be what it is or how it will/could affect you, it's best to leave it be.  As women, we have to get past defining ourselves by the size of our bosom.

codeine or tylenol or asprin and maybe ibuprofen in tylenol 3s/percocets and percodand and vicoprofen

Yes- there are a number of different brands over the counter- they are usually near the pain reliever section.

Actually it is Ok for you to take some over the counter pain med before your appointment as long as you follow the proper dose direction mentioned on the bottle. It does not interact with the local anesthesia. Make sure you take it with food and an 8oz. glass of water. Aleve also decreases inflammation as does aspirin and having it in your system as you are getting root cannal helps with your post operation healing and decrease your discomfort.

Before taking pain killers, try drinking lots of water frequently: 1 oz of water for every 5 lbs of body weight everyday!  Soda's don't count because of sugar.\n\nThis worked for me 99% of the time!

I don't know about medicine... you'd have to check with your doc about that...\n\nBut for non-medicine methods, what worked for me was anything sour/sweet: lemonade, Nerds Candy, etc. Or Ginger Tea or Ginger Snap cookies.\n\nOoh, and I almost forgot - ask your pharmacist if they can order you a bottle of cola syrup. It's very thick, and you pour a small bit over crushed ice and sip it slowly. That was completely awesome - I was a pharmacy technician during one pregnancy, and the pharmacist I worked with suggested it.

Try sweet talking someone into going to Boots for you and getting a box of Dead Sea Salts. A handful of that in a warm bath and you'll be right as rain in no time! It's a miracle worker!!!\n\nIf you can't get fancy-schmancy dead sea salt, you can always put normal table salt in your bath instead, it's nowhere near effective as the other salt, but will help a lil' bit  : )\n\nAs for OTC pain pills, Propain Plus has codeine in and a muscle realaxant.\n\nOh, and have you considered upvc? Not the prettiest thing in the word but at least it doesn't need painting ::lol::\n\nHope you feel better soon!

Endometriosis is a very painful condition that does require the use of stronger pain relievers at time.  It sounds as if you have been questioning an addiction or over usage of her pain pills for a while now and truth is, although sometimes pain medication is required, unless she is under extreme pain she shouldn't be using the precribed pain medication as her only treatment and it shouldn't be needed on a daily basis.  I endured years of endometriosis and if the endometriosis is so severe as to require so many pain pills ... it may be best to seek another alternative treatment.\n\nAs with any assumptions, it is wrong to assume that she is giving false information to her physicians unless of course you have positive proof of this.  Yet, with an addiction to prescribed pain medications it is very possible that one will exaggerate the intensity of their pain and/condition to further their cravings for the drug.  She also may be taking prescriptions that have conflicting effects which could be causing her drowsiness as well as many other problems.  Speak to her openly and if you feel you are certain she has an addiction, try speaking to a family member who may be able to assist you in helping her if that is what course needs to be taken.  If she is abusing the rx's...she needs help but if she isn't, she needs your friendship and comfort more than anything.  Good Luck...\n\n The fact that she has had an existing problem popping pills would definately set an alarm off on me also dear.  Go with your instincts as you know her and obviously care deeply on her behalf.)

Finding another Dr. is the only way I can think of. Some Dr.'s are really leery though, husband's Dr. has "WE DO NOT PRESCRIBE OXYCOTIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" posted all over. Sad, since it helps people. \n\nPlease don't be one of the reasons people who REALLY NEED pain meds can't get them...

ugggh- i had them last year.  He can take advil- that will help, but mine were so awful that they gave me vicodin.    I also had this stuff that my mother in law gave me (she's a physical theraptist)- it's called biofreeze.  that stuff was great for the pain and the itching.

Try an otc pain reliever.

After I had my first kid I'd get cramps so bad I could barely walk.  If I hadn't had to take care of my little girl, I'd have never gotten out of bed or off the couch.  \nIf you see a doctor, you may be able to get some prescription pain relievers like percocet or vicodin, but for OTC meds, check out naproxen sodium....or as it's more widely known, ALEVE.  It turned my condition from debilitating to a dull ache or nothing at all  :-)

Antibiotic and painkillers.  Most dentists will prescribe a stronger pain med than is available over the counter.  Ibuprofen works great for relieving the throbbing feeling.  Ask your dentist about Vicoprofen.  I found this medicine to be the most effective.  It didn't make me as drowsy as regular Vicodin does.

I personally wouldn't use anything that your doctor doesn't okay.  Herbs/supplements aren't FDA regulated, and most probably aren't tested especially on breastfeeding women.
