How do I convince my doctor to renew the Vicodin?

Don’t respond to him, he’s trying to stir up the pot. :slight_smile:

What’s your experience been with using this sort of thing for fever relief? I’d heard of this when the kids were young, and may have done so with them once or twice. Then when I got the flu (or its bastard half-brother, judging by the fact that I wasn’t actively praying for death but would merely have welcomed it if it happened to go that way), I did the doubling-up to try to keep the fever under control one day. May or may not have helped, but at least I wasn’t ODing on either of the medications.

It’s done, but there’s not good evidence (of which I am aware) that it’s beneficial. Definitely the risk of mixing the meds up and giving too much of one type too close together goes way up.

So the thread was bumped by a spammer, and the post has since been deleted, but I’m curious: do the board admins report things like that to the authorities? (Possibly a question for ATMB but I thought I’d post here first).
