So i got my wisdom teeth out yesterday, and uh wtf?
 

The dentist said i should be taking (perscribed) flubriprofene (probably ****ed up the spelling on that, even though the bottle is in front of me :P) 100mg 6-to-8 hours apart

mom made me take one at 3 yesterday (after getting home) and again at 9 (so barely six hours in between, assuming it actually was three. i feel like it was later, but how reliable is tiem sensing when you're still seeing double).
-- i say "made me" because on my own free will i don't like medication. and the last time i took advil i puked

About fifteen minutes after the second dose i felt sick to my stomach (not really much to throw up..or yeh probably would) and everything hurt WORSE than before taking it. Long story short i was up past 1am because of it.

Is there any reason why i should be taking it anymore? it's like 10:30 and i hvan't taken anything (besides the antibiotic, which i have no issues with.), but it just doesn't hurt that much. i can feel the stiches on one side but its not a big deal

it's difficult to answer your questions since you are under the care of a professional, and that means that anything we say could contradict your care.

my advice would be to google the tablets, or look at the care leaflet for side-effects and what to do when/if you experience them, and to contact either your dentist or your gp for further advice.

You should carry on taking it if your dentist has reccommended it.. we cant tell you any different here as we arent your dentist.. all i can suggest is, call them, or go back in and speak to him about it.

one of the side effects did say nausia... but not like that. And they didn't work. (yeah wtf right? There's a stronger percritpion too but it has more side effects, which would kinda defeat the point of taking it if everything is handle-able.)

i was really more curious as to if there's something in this **** that helps things heal or not... i really really REALYL don't want to take it, actually dumping it down the toilet is sounding quite like a good idea (mom wnt let me.. ...)

That is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug, and the dentist most likely asked you to take it for the pain. I would say that if you are able to bear the pain without taking the meds, and taking them makes you feel worse, then you're ok not to take them.

On the other hand. Reading what you wrote, it would seem that you took the first dose and were fine for 6 hours, it was only after the second dose you became ill. These types of drugs are known for being able to irritate the stomach, and I get the impression you haven't eaten much....
It's best to take this drug after food. This may well be why you reacted to it the way you did.
Maybe try taking the next dose after a meal.

actualyl the first dose i was a bit ill, but assumed it was because of the anesteisa not the drugs.

and i had eaten before taking the second one. Yet, somehow, it made me MORE sick than the first one did, and for some reason the rest of my body hurt (like it had fallen asleep... no idea why)

You should probably talk to your dentist. Are you sure that your body pain was related to your med? Perhaps he could prescribe you something milder or not in the NSAID group if it makes you that I'll.

what's wrong with just not taking anything?

so many doctors i've been to are so pill happy when it just doesnt seem to be needed. eh it's well after 2, still havn't taken anything...it just dones't HURT.

It's not something you have to take if you don't want to and as your stomach reacted to it it is probably best that you don't as like Pencils says they can be very harsh on the digestive system so it's up to you.

Taking them with food is needed because that coats the lining of the stomach and helps to prevent it from becoming damaged. If it's aided by the advil then it is probably better for you just to take that or if it isn't you could try the other medication you have been prescribed as though the list of side effects may be longer it doesn't mean you'll get all or even any of them, it's just a possibility.

Also, you shouldn't take Advil (active ingredient= Ibuprofen) and Flurbiprofen or any other drug from the NSAID group (eg Aspirin) within 24hours of each other as the chance of side effects can be worsened so it may be that this is also what you have seen.

haha must've been a bit incoherent in the first post. theres no way i took the two together.
before the surgery i hadn't hd any otc stuff in several weeks (and then i was only takig it becasu gp said to, but it STILL MADE ME SICK even with food so it was just easier to tolerate the pain thn nausia..)

Sometimes it can make you sick even with the drugs and you weren't incoherant, I just wanted to make sure you hadn't taken the drugs together and I knew that you'd taken them with food, I just wanted to explain why.

They can still cause irritation to the stomach lining even with food and some people are affected by this more than others so it is likely that this is the case so you're probably best to stay away from them if you can cope with the pain or try the others you have on prescription. Your bodies reaction to irritation in the stomach is to be sick and this is why (without going into a lot of science!) drugs such as this can make you sick even in some cases where you've eaten. This is likely that you are very sensitive to this class of drugs and that is also why Advil makes you sick too and so this would be worth mentioning to your doctor next time you see them (but you don't need an appointment especially for it).
