Has Anyone Had Problems Sleeping 2 Weeks Post-Op?

[theby_88 72]

Hello family,

I haven't slept in 2 days and I was wondering if anyone has had any problems with sleeping or insomnia since surgery. I am a little over 2 weeks out and this is my second day of this. I am soooo exhausted and my head is killing me. I have to go back to work Wed and there is no way I can do that if I keep having these sleepless nights. Any advice?

That IS a side effect of going off of some meds - when my husband went off of vicoden (a few years back) he was up for days (it felt like forever) - so it’s totally possible that’s what’s going on.

I’ve taken vicoden and codine with ZERO issues - so you might be sensitive like my husband.

good luck!

I hope not that would suck. I only took the meds in the hosptial and only once at night for like 2 days when I got home. Since then I didn't take any till last night. I need to figure this out though cause I am soooo exhausted and feel like crap. Thank you for the advice though.

Are you taking reglan or compazine ? They made it to where I couldn't sleep but was exhausted. Which can be a side effect of the meds.

No I am not taking any meds just the tylonol with codeine once last night to see if it helped.

I have had the same problem after surgery and coming of pain Med's

Do you use a C-PAC when you sleep if so you may need to have your machine adjusted or you may not need it any more.

But sounds like your body is trying to adjust to what you just went though.

Call your doctor and tell he/her maybe they can help

No meds since 2 days home from the hospital. I was taking Tylonol with codeine. I will have to call them on Monday. Thank you for the info I appreciate it:)
