Strongest over counter painkiller (possibly tmi)

[vampiress88]

Did ask at pharmacy but they didn’t seem to really understand. They did point out naproxen to me but unfortunately naproxen doesn’t seem to do anything. This was in Walmart so will try Publix.

So cross at myself. I haven’t been like this since Easter and usually only get bad every six months ish. Typical

They work for her and she has the same issues as yourself.

I don't know if they are as strong as codeine though.

When you're looking at medicines please bear in mind that Acetaminophen is just what they call paracetamol in America. They're exactly the same, just a different name. My apologies if you already know this, I wouldn't want you to take too much paracetamol.

I echo this. Please speak to someone at the pharmacy counter. The big Walmart branches have pharmacy counters and some branches of Walgreens and CVS also have have walk-in clinics.

I agree with speaking to a pharmacist but I doubt there is a chance you will get codeine without a US prescription. Naproxen is the strongest I know of over the counter and usually quite good for cramps etc. Such a shame it doesn't work for you. If the pharmacist can't suggest anything else you need to ring your insurance company and see a doctor. I suspect that the Physician Assistant/Nurse Practitioner run clinics at some CVS/Walgreens can't prescribe opioids but it might be worth checking as they are much cheaper and can be less than your insurance deductible.

I think Naproxen is about the strongest you can buy over the counter

I’ve taken Tramadol into the US for many years, and never had it counted. The most that’s ever happened was customs checking the label on the box. Most times never even checked. I carry a Doctors letter and a copy prescription to cover.
You must have had a really strict officer!

Naproxen isn’t a pain killer it’s a nsaid.
