Meprozine and dry mouth

I had 2 surgeries at once last week and was prescribed Meprozine 1-2 capsules every 4-6 hours. The first 4 days I took 2 at a time and within 20 minutes my pain was gone, I felt relaxed and a little drowsy and was able to nap, which I needed for at least the first two days after my surgery. Twice in 4 days, one of my legs twitched and once my arm twitched. After the first 4 days, I would take only 1 as needed, usually in the evening after I has been up all day and was in a little pain. I had slight dizziness when I first stood up the first day only when I would get up to go to the bathroom. Other than that, I had no nausea, and I have to eat something before I take any medication, no stomach pains, no allergic reactions (I am allergic to medications with codeine in it), no depression, no emotional swings (in fact, if I wasn't sleeping, I was so relaxed that I was able communicate normally, laugh, make my normal jokes, etc.), I did not hallucinate or see things. I was also on an antibiotic, which my pharmacist said would make me very thirsty so I attributed my dry mouth to that. Last year, I was prescribed several different strong pain medications for severe chronic headaches and they did nothing. I would recommend Meprozine for short term relief for pain management. I do know someone who got addicted to Meprozine after taking it everyday for several months because a doctor kept prescribing it to her, so it is definitely only to be used for short term use. If I ever have to have surgery again, dental work, or need something for pain management, I will be asking my doctor for a one time prescription for Meprozine.

I was given this for a root canal. All I can say is stay away from it, ask for lorcet or percocet if you are in pain. This stuff made me feel like i needed to throw up but couldn't. I ended up sticking my finger down my throat at 4am just to get some sleep. All my motor skills were delayed and my balance was off. I was easily startled and agitated. I would be lying on the sofa sleeping and would suddenly get the feeling that someone was standing over me. I woke up and just about jumped off the couch in fright, and of course there was nothing there. Extreme Dry Mouth, and the medication blurred my vision at times. I also had no sense of time and was very disoriented. I also had some of the strangest dreams in my life while on this medication. My right hand would twitch at times, but not very often. This should be labeled as a roofy, not a pain killer.

I just had a tubal reversal a week ago and was prescribed Meprozine. I did notice that I didn't feel like I was all there, a little disoriented and severe dry mouth. I was still in a pretty good amount of pain for the first day or two so if this is a pain med for mod. to severe pain I would have hated to have not had it.
