- Narcotic analgesics on the other hand are capable of inducing sleep and unconsciousness when consumed. Morphin, heroin, and Marijuana all belong to this category of analgesics.

- Severe pain – If pain persists or if it is moderate to severe at outset, give a strong opioid or opiate such as morphine, fentanyl, or meperidine. A non-opioid medication may also be continued to assist with pain control or discontinued.
