Actually it made me very sleepy and a little high, lol but it is a great medicine for after surgery pain, if you use it as directed you should be fine.....what I done is after five or six days I stopped it and took liquid acetaminophen and it helped, I was worried about addiction, but only taking it for a week or two isn't going to hurt you.

I had no side effects...it did help with pain management as it is designed to do. I minimized my time using it though, only for 1.5 days post op...not concerned about addiction issues, but it does slow the workings of your "insides down"...so I only use opiates when I really need them.

After 1.5 days post op, liquid acetaminophen was all I needed to be comfortable and pain free.

Best wishes...

Made me nauseous too, and taste worse than cough Syrup. (I'm a lifetime asthmatic; I have tasted some nasty meds, but the Lortab was extra bleech!)

I took one dose in the hospital, made me so nauseous I didn't even get the script filled. I used children's liquid Tylenol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
