I was gave Roxicet for my pain yesterday and all it does is make me sleepy. I am calling the Dr when he gets into the office and going to have him call in something else. My pain levels are the same before and after I take the med. It is not really painful just very uncomfortable.

What pain meds did you have the best result with?

I was given Lortab. It's a liquid form of Vicodin and acetaminophen (Tylenol). It did make me a bit loopy, but it also made me not care much about the pain. It worked well for me, but not everyone likes it. Unfortunately, other than straight Tylenol, most of the pain meds have a drowsy side effect.

You might want to ask your doctor about Tramadol. It's one prescription pain med that isn't quite so "sleepy". However, I'm not sure that it's the right type of drug for post-surgical pain. I was given that for back issues, and I know they prescribe different types of meds for different types of pain.

Hi i am still pre op but i am givem tramadol for my arthritis pain and if u pain is moderate to severe i dont think tramadol will help it does nothing to help with arthritis pain. They give it as a broad spectram pain med i have also had it for tooth aches. The lortab i tjink would work best for moderate to severe but it will limit what u can do like driving.

I was given percecet- don't remember the dose. It worked great, as said, any pain med is going to have a sedative effect. I didn't feel loopy on the percecet and only needed it for a few days. Congrats on your surgery!

Liq Lortab

I am just waiting for the pharmacy to call to go pick up my new meds. I was prescribed tylenol 3. I know it works for me. Well it did when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I know to stay away from the Percocet family unless I am having trouble sleeping.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
