I have a wrist sprain, possible fracture. The er dr. gave me anaprox. It is not helping @ all. I go to the orthopedic dr. tomorrow afternoon. My mom gave me a 50mg demeral from when she had surgery. I have taken lorcet, lortab, & vicoprofen before for injuries or menstrual pain. Those medications do not knock me out or make me sleepy @ all. So can someone please help me as to whether I were to take half of a 50mg demerol, if it would make me sleepy(or could)? Also my mom said to take part of a phenergan with it or it would make me sick? If it does have the ability to make you sleepy, is it a slight drowsiness or will it knock you out. I know all meds are different for different people, but on average should this medication make me sleepy if the other 3 I listed have never done that. I do know demeral is stronger than the others I listed. Thanks.

I know you must be in a lot of pain to even consider taking Demerol or any strong opiate however I suggest you wait to see your doctor as this is a very strong pain medication that may or may not cause severe side effects as we are all so different in what either works for one and not another or how we react to certain medications.
Because this isn't something that has been prescribed for you, I feel it would be very dangerous to try this and if you did, your doctor would most likely be upset that you took something so strong without his approval. I don't want you to get into trouble with your doctor.
