I took ibuprofen. There is a serious conflict between lithium and ibuprofen. I am just sick of pain. I won’t do it again. Now I’m in pain again. I will take some tylenol and rinse with salt water. Here’s hoping.
Don’t worry, you’re going to be ok.
Lol, do you know how many times I’ve taken ibuprofen and lithium together? I didn’t even know there was an interaction. You should, of course discuss, all medications (even OTC’s) with your pdoc, but in my unprofessional opinion, most of these websites say that there’s a moderate to severe interaction between pretty much every drug combo that you could ever possibly take. They say stuff like this to cover their asses, lest someone have a severe interaction and attempt to sue.
I’m going to call my doctor tomorrow and see if he will prescribe codeine. If not I don’t see how I can do without ibuprofen. My teeth are so swollen.
Can’t you get to a dentist?
I am waiting to hear from the university school of dentistry. I’m hoping I get in. The dentists here are crooked. I’d rather be in pain.
I hope you get in too.
I need a molar pulled but I can’t afford it atm.
Dentists are ripoff artists.
oh no not that !! I am so saddened to hear you are in such pain @FatMama sorry dear…really really sorry. hang in there !!
I take lithium and a high dose of ibuprofen for months now. I didn’t know it interacts. I will mention it to my pdoc.
Yes it does interact badly !
