What is the drug called Roxinol liquid?
Roxinol Oral Suspension® (liquid) is a brand name of morphine sulphate, a powerful narcotic used to treat moderate to severe pain. Morphine is an opiate-class drug, the strongest painkiller used in medicine, available by prescription only, and a tightly regulated, schedule C narcotic.
The liquid form of morphine is fast-acting, and presents a serious health risk to anyone who is not already morphine-tolerant. It works by blocking pain receptors in the brain, but may also cause low blood pressure, slowed breathing, nausea or vomiting, drowsiness, and constipation.
Signs of overdose include stupor, pain insensitivity, deep, coma-like sleep, dizziness, light-headedness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and slowed or shallow breathing. Anyone experiencing these symptoms needs emergency medicalassistance.
Morphine is a drug of abuse and is highly addictive, particularly when used recreationally. Even patients who are closely monitored by a physician will develop tolerance and dependence over time, and may occasionally need to have their dose titrated upward to receive maximum relief.
Morphine should never be stopped abruptly, except under the direct supervision of a doctor. Under most circumstances, discontinuation is done gradually, with the dose being slowly decreased to avoid the flu-like symptoms of withdrawal.

Do teens prefure over the counter drugs?
Depends on the Teen... I personally prefure over the counter as I have a higher pain threshold... I dont think being a Teen makes us prefure medications diffrently then any other age group, Teen's are just as diverse, diffrent, and each one has their own likes and dislikes just as any adult or child does.
Relpax is not a barbiturate. It belongs to the only class of medicines designed specifically to abort Migraine attacks, called triptans.
For an appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Migraine and headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.
