I hate the floaty feeling too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Woman Drove Around With Corpse For Close to a Year
Here's a local news station asking the police chief of Costa Mesa, California how the car owner dealt with "the overwhelming stench." (Answer: Her father regularly pooped in the car, so she was "immune to the smell.")
Huh. And another huh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As long as we're talking about painkillers, let me request that you make a point of not ignoring other pain because you are on painkillers for something else. I.e., my aunt ended up with crazy internal problems at least partly because she ignored the pain for so long, at least partially thanks to the percoset she takes for other issues.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The codeine-related drugs don't make me feel floaty; they make me feel fine. The niggling worries and pain go away, and I realize how infrequently I feel fine. I hoard my leftovers for the truly horrible days and for days I hurt myself.
If you need to double up on something, TB, you can take four ibuprofen, which is the prescription dose.
I don't know who Saget is, but I wish RIO would check in.

What Jesse said.
Not quite the same thing, but my mom's brain tumors went undiagnosed because when her migraine meds stopped controlling the pain her doctor wrote her off as drug seeking rather than looking further, even though the symptoms were not right.

I find that two ibu and two tylenol work better than four ibu. (Actually I was adding two Naxo as well) That was what I used to get rid of migraines. Is that risky? (Well I gather that delaying the Naxo a couple of hours is safer.)

I was just asking the pharmacist about differences between Naxo and Ibu (this was for my back pain). She said a couple of things that were interesting. That Naxo doesn't really work for everyone, but if it does work for you it's preferred. However, it is far more important to respect dosage and time delays on Naxo than it is for Ibu.

I'm not a fan of the floaty-head feeling, but it beats having throbs of pain playing the Macarena on my jawbone. I wouldn't be taking stuff like this for fun though. Back when I drank I generally chose to stop before the tipsy, uncoordinated phase set in. (Light buzz and flush of warmth = good, slurring and tripping over garbage cans = bad)
Naproxen sodium is my committed life-partner, though. It almost always heads off migraines into just a fragile feeling and some mild light sensitivity if I can take it as soon as I start seeing auras.
