I'm not sure about pain medications but I process anesthetics much faster than the average person.

2 epidurals in childbirth & I was walking around. The dentist always has to double my dose.

My pain tolerance OTOH is high and I don't need a lot of pain medication after surgery (I've had 4 open abdominal surgeries) but I skip the epidural for pain control- it doesn't work
