There's also pain clinics that teach coping skills like meditation, acupuncture, the right exercises etc to relieve pain. Also chronic pain won't kill you so there's benefit in learning a certain degree of acceptance. For now drink plenty of water and eat something. If you think you overdosed then go to a clinic or ER.

FYI - I don't have shingles. I think you are confusing me with someone else. I don't take those two meds. I'm actually on very little pain meds after going through a chronic pain clinic. You are right, chronic pain won't kill you and I do accept my situation. It helps to be a therapist!
