I have Lortabs & Percocet which were prescribed by the oral surgeon. The Percocet makes me itch all over & numbs the pain. The Lortabs don't work unless I take 1 1/2 to 2 each dose, and I'm supposed to take only 1 every 4-6 hours. I also have Ibuprofen 600 mg which was prescribed by my dentist for the pain before my tooth was extracted. Should I go ahead and start trying the Ibuprofen? I don't want to take the Percocet because of the way it makes me itch all over, and it makes me nauseous as well. The Lortabs, I don't want to take double the amount. What would you do?
