Dear Mari

thank you for your help. i appreciate it because right now i am googling how to get to the dentist because i have forgotten!

this stuff does not cause mania for me - i have taken up to 100 mg at a time.

i use it regularly for migraines. regularly means about 2ce a month. typically 50mg tid covers the migraine. very occasionally i might need a dose of 75mg. 100 is extremely rare.

this migraine is "out of place" meaning it did not fall in the usual period when i have my two monthly migraines (indeed, i would not schedule a tooth extraction then!)

issues with having taken it are:
- it thins blood same as any other NSAID, so taking it before can be an issue especially if stitches are not to be given
- it has a a longer half-life (4.5 hours compare to about 1.8 for ibuprofen)

again thanks for your help i will check back...

Dear Waves,

I am trusting that the dentist is experienced and that you are in good hands.
Give us an update later.

Smile the indomethacin was fine

they called back as i was about to get the bus - the dentist said it was ok that i had already taken indomethacin. i took my second dose before the procedure - more or less when i would have for the migraine, instead of taking the NSAID they usually give. the dentist also said if i took it the rest of the day for the migraine that would also cover the post-op needs. sometimes just 2 doses is enough for the migraine, but i guess i will take a third before i go to bed.

thanks again for your help this morning.

Waves,

I've got "stupid" working today and I am sorry I am not being helpful.

If indomethacin is a blood thinner, it might not be good if you are having an extraction.

This should be something the dentist can handle -- we are talking about potential bleeding here, not mood probs.
