Does anyone else have an extremely low tolerance to pain medicine? For as long as i can remember any medicine that is used for pain relief makes me absolutely exhausted. Even Tylenol & Ibuprofen. So I avoid taking it unless I’m hurting pretty bad. If I take Tylenol (regular OTC stuff) I’m asleep within an hour & I’ll sleep for like 13 hours. If I don’t sleep it off completely I get this awful brain fog for days. Ibuprofen does it too.

The ER gave me morphine when I broke my wrist when I was a teenager - knocked me out in less than 5 minutes. I don’t remember anything other then them giving it to me in the IV. Next thing I remember after that is eating pizza at home 2 days later even though I went home that same night.

Does this happen to anyone else or am I just an extreme lightweight lol?
