How long should I wait after having a beer, before I take my pain medication?!


Question: How long should I wait after having a beer, before I take my pain medication.?
Answers:
It depends. Are you on long term percocet or just for a short time.? I am on meds a lot stronger than that at my pharmacist has told me that once in a while to have a drink or 2 mid evening it would be okay to take my pain meds. However this is because my system is used to the medication and it's a constant in my system. You might feel a lot groggier than normal. Oh and make sure that you eat something substantial like a piece of bread when you take the pain medications.

Really you are not supposed to mix alcohol and pain meds, and I'm sure it says that on your prescription bottle.

BUT if you are going to regardless, then yes, a gap of 5.5 hours is probably long enough time for your body to process one beer and not interact w/the pain meds...as long as you are normal body weight for your height and not underweight.

Seriously, though, it's not a great idea though.
