Urine therapy while taking pain medication

I practice urine therapy, and i just started alternating between percocet, tramadol, and ibuprofen for daily pain.

in the past 2 days, i have taken 300mg of tramadol, 3 5/325mg percocet, and 2400mg of ibuprofen.

All that is in my system and i just resumed drinking my urine again. I didnt even think to see what happens to the medication as it is digested.

Is it bad to drink recycled medication?

Hey Caregiver,

I always value your input!  .... However it would have to be mixed with something MUCH stronger then juice for me to willingly drink it!!  :o)

Peace,

Traditionally the urine was mixed fifty-fity with fruit juice.

I agree with Singleman, 1,200 mg per day of ibuprofen is not in excess IF approved by your physician and labs are done routinely.

Prescription tablets are normally 800 mg and you are usually instructed to take more then one tab per day. This is usually short term rather then long term but I have seen it RX for long periods for inflammatory processes. I am no expert, this is just my personal experience. Again this must be prescribed and monitored by a PCP......but
1,200 mgs per day is not excessive.

Urine Therapy??? It takes all kinds. There are no proven benefits but generally it's not harmful.... though I would be very cautious with the recycling of meds and chemicals.  To each their own!

Interesting topic!

Thanks for understanding, and i did lol at the joke.

I am alternating the pain medicine, i didnt take that much ibuprofen all at once. The fact that i had so many drugs in me along with some colloidal silver, while i used the urine, concerned me. I had gone to the ER, for stomach pain, and strange feelings in my lower back. of course i forgot to mention to them that my back was burning, cuz the drugs they gave me made me super tired. I dont know if it was the drugs themselves or the silver. Since you're only supposed to have one dose of silver a day, recycling it might have caused me to get a second dose.

anyway, my BUN "Blood Urea Nitrogen" levels were low. i think it was 2. Could the drinking of urine do that? Or could that have been the medicine? the doctor said that its only a concern if you are suffering kidney failure.. but they dont know much about colloidal silver so, i didnt ask.

Potty mouth?!?

Sorry... had to be said!

All joking aside, what Caregiver222 said. SOME medications are excreted in your urine, unchanged. And I'll also agree with the "you're taking too much Ibuprofin" statement as well. Liver damage for overuse is no laughing matter.

Sorry for the initial joke, but I just couldn't resist!

Good luck.

I am not going to ridicule urine drinking. The technique has been around for two thousand years. Many medications, especially antibiotics are excreted virtually unchanged, and urine drinking is a survival technique when there is a short supply of antibiotics. You are taking far too much ibuprufin, which may result in eventual liver damage. Try to reduce your intake to no more than 800 mg a day. Pain medications are also excreted to varying degrees and drinking urine increases the blood levels.
