Sick.... And miserable

So I've been sick since Thursday! Pushing through it because I don't know what I can take.

Today the hubby got fed up with my symptoms and went to cvs and while on google looking to see what I can take he brought home a medicine with the A word in Tylenol and musinex.

Took it. But I'm freaking out on if I took to much how will I react etc. haven't taken any meds in over a year.

Anyone else sick? Anyone else have medicine issues? Should I have taken less of a dose. My hubby talked to pharmacist and she advised for me to see my doctor. Ugh! Sick & tired!

You should be fine... Just make sure you follow the dosing on the back I the package and ONLY use stuff with acetaminophen. I got the flu the week I had my bypass and was still sick a week after. My doc just had me but the liquid Tylenol cold and flu... I survived. Haha

According to multiple websites, Mucinex is not an NSAID and it does not contain aspirin or ibuprofen. One thing to note is that the standard form of Mucinex is time-release. Time-release meds are not normally recommended for RnYers because they pass so quickly from the pouch to the small intestine that they don't have enough time to release. They will likely be less effective than they would be for someone who has not had the surgery. I don't think you have anything to worry about as far as dosage goes as long as you took it according to directions. And of course, Tylenol seems to be the recommended pain reliever for RnY patients.

Feel better Jenn!
