So I picked up a prescription for a new painkiller a couple days ago, and I'm already experiencing the major side effects and none of the benefits. I've decided it's not time to give up on the medication, for the simple reason that I haven't taken any of it yet.

Gah. My body is apparently trying to tell me I need more rest. I'd have no problem listening to its message if it weren't for the fact that I haven't done anything this week. Grfle.

In other words you are a sick puppy who needs to go lay down and get some rest ... and since you are already experiencing the side effects WITH the pain you need to go ahead and TAKE the medication so you can feel (somewhat) better!

Do what Mommy tells you and take your medicine like a good kid.

Not taking that medicine yet! I don't take new medicines for chronic problems when I've got some acute illness going on. Since I seem to have a bug of some kind, no new painkillers for me. But yes, I do need to rest some more.

Thanks for caring enough to give your advice, though. :-)
