What kind and how long did you take pain meds?

[BrandiSCollins 7]

Lortab elixir, until about day 5, but I only took it about twice a day.

I am allergic to Vicodin and it's relations...so they gave me Ultram. I paid a compounding pharmacy to make it liquid...entire prescription with liquifying it cost $30 with insurance. Insurance is normally just $15 copay...but apparently they don't pay for squishing... 50mg every 4-6 hours as needed.

What about nausea meds? They prescribed me Phenergen gel that you put on your wrists for absorption...it seems kind of strange to absorb nausea meds through your wrists...anyone else have this?

I was prescribed Percocet tablets every four hours. I cut them in half to make sure they'd go down. It worked well for me - took the edge off and made me sleepy. The only thing I didn't like was the wild, vivid dreams I had while taking them. I didn't need anything after the first couple days. My best friend was a heating pad...I highly recommend it!

liquid loritab tasted like crap'ola every 4 hours they gave me a script with 1 refill, didnt really need the refill but got it anyways

[Lannae 46]

to be honest, can not remember the brand, but only for two days...then if I felt any discomfort I took liquid tylenol..

[mandagay 93]

Hydrocodone every 4/6 hrs. I took it for 4-5 days then I took a dose after my first fill

I had little demerol tablets, could take every four hours. I think I only used them the first couple of days; they made me feel quite weird!

[Jenn1214 120]

I didn't take any pain meds and I regret it...the nurse made me feel so guilty about filling my prescription, like I was some kind of drug addict or something, so I didn't do it. I just took chewable Tylenol, which did precisely squat.

Thank you everyone, again such a big help, I'm loving this site!

I got Loratab Elixir. I took just about all of it the first go around. Not so much this time around.

They didn't prescribe anything for nausea so my mother had Pheregan (sp?) tablets that I took for two days until it passed. I get real nauseous after surgery apparently.

I took liquid Tylenol for the first 2 days. I had a script for liquid Percocet that I never got filled... just because im a dumba** and bullheaded. My worst pain has been from gas in my left shoulder/neck but today it seems to have almost subsided.
