What gives you effective pain relief & sleep enhancement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of meds: For mild pain relief & sleep enhancement, OTC meds like Excedrin PM work well. Opioids like Vicodin or Tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 are often used for more severe pain & help some people to sleep as a side benefit BUT they have the opposite effect on other people.Tri-cyclic anti-depressants like Elavil can help w/pain & sleep, as well.You really need to talk w/ your dr. to see what the best med is for you.
