How Much Will One Pill Set Back My Recovery?


Hi Everybody -

I quit hydrocodone about 3 weeks ago and am still recovering.  Tomorrow I have to take 5mg oxy, and 1mg lorazapam for a medical procedure.  Will this set back my recovery?

Thanks,

Hey Randy,

If a guy thing not to be rude or intrusive you can probably handle the pain with 800 IBU, however you know the health issues so to speak...Friend of mine did this no problem with the aformentioned meds....The anxiety stuff is usually the norm and should not be an issue I would not think---You should be fine...

Take care bro..

Thanks Vicki !

I don't need any meds after my procedure - just a one-time dose.  I hate to take it but have no choice - just don't want it to delay my recovery.

Hi Randy- No,it shouldn't set you back. Will you need pain med after the procedure? We usually suggest giving the pills to someone to hold for you and to hand out as needed.

Good luck!
