faz1988 0 Posted August 20, 2011 I am on Concerta for ADD, and it's a slow release pill, meaning I cannot crush it and stir it into a liquid.< /p> After my procedure, How long before I can take this medication? It's only one tiny pill, but I don't want to do anything that might jeapordize my recovery. I'm planning on asking my doctor, but I wanted to get opinions from the people on here. If it matters, the pill is rather small-- about the size of a Tylenol capsule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YngGram 73 Posted August 20, 2011 The chances are good that you won't have a problem with this. I had 2 meds that I had to have and the doc OKed them easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jen120 23 Posted August 20, 2011 I was able to take all my medications 1 day after surgery. I took one at a time, drank some Water and took a bite of Jello. (That's what my doctor recommended during the first 2 weeks after surgery) I waited a few minutes in between each pill. Now I just pop them in, drink water and am good to go!

marfar7 1,533 Posted August 20, 2011 I also take all my meds. Never had a problem with em. And I take a handful of them. Even right after my surgery I took them. Marci Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BaileyRose 13 Posted August 20, 2011 They gave me pills in the hospital the day of surgery. And my pain meds were pills, not liquid. I took them how Jen did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
