I'm out of my pain meds. So now what? Do I still have to ground my tylenol uch tastes like chalk. Isn't there liquid over-the-counter tylenol?

Call the Dr.'s office and ask for a refill, or get the children's tylenol -- it comes in liquid and chewable tabs. Take care.

Yes, I've bought the liquid tylenol at walmart. Tastes just like cough syrup, but it goes down easier than a pill during those early days!

Good luck!

Shoot, I had liquid lortab (vicodin) and had 6 refills available before I even went to the hospital to have surgery. I only used half of one bottle though, and never did use the refills. I wish now I had used the refills, because sometimes I need a good pain reliever, since ibuprofen cannot be used on a daily basis. Depending on the severity of your pain, you might consider getting a refill, or if it is just a headache, then there is liquid headache reliever.

If you go to your doctor he may give you a prescription for Imitrex. They have the bottles that you squirt into your nose. Works wonders!

If tylenol is not working, call the doc. My doc had me crushing lortab at about 4 weeks so I am use to the nasty pill taste now. Anymore I just chew them up and get it over with as quick as possible. You may wnat to get your blood pressure checked just to make sure that isn't the trouble. I use to get terrible headaches when mine was high.
