What Pain Meds did your Dr. Prescribe?

I am curious what pain meds your doctors prescribed. Since it will be in liquid form, I am wondering what is commonly used, particularly if you are allergic to codeine.

Thanks for sharing your experience in this area!

I was not given liquid pain meds, They gave me pills. I was told to crush them up. I started off on percoset and then to vicodin.

Lortab elixer, which is hydrocodone (a narcotic, like codeine but usually less nausea than codeine) and acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Otherwise, just plain tylenol.

If you are truly allergic (not just stomach upset, etc) talk to your doctor about other options.

Good luck!

I was given percocet and some anti nausea pills. The percocet was double strength in the beginning and then reg strength after. I was on these for about a month.

I was prescribed Lortab elixir and an anti-nausea pill (starts with a "p", can't recall at present). Ended up only needing to take the stronger pain meds a few times, so I have half a bottle + 1 refill leftover.

In the hospital I had morphine. I was given liquid Hydrocodone, which has Tylenol in it once I came home.Only took a few doses though.

I got lortab elixir with tylenol as my pain medicine. I only had to take a few doses. The hydrocodone is really a synthetic codeine. I also got Zofran for nausea. I am just taking tylenol now and gas X strips. Colleen
