That is an old wives's tale - I take my pain killers on a daily basis (I suffer from chronic pain and take heavy duty prescription narcotics for pain) with Coke and it seems to help them go to work faster, something my doctor actually encourages.

No, it's just a myth.
I take fizzy drinks with pain killer all the time. And nothing hapened to me.

I think you will live.
I work in hospital and nurses will encourage, say, a mentally ill patient, to take their painkillers with ANYTHING as long as they take the goddam thing. Besides alcohol.
Tea, coffee and soda - as long as enough to wash it down is fine.
By the way, always take something - don't dry swallow because sometimes you think it's swallowed but it isn't and it can be lodged in your esophagus. Here, it can dissolve and cause serious harm through irritation.

Urban myth. In fact the fizz in the drink might help the pain killer be absorbed quicker.
