Was given post op percodan

I had an outpatient procedure done for needed surgery and without me asking the Dr gave me an Rx for #60 Percodan. Says take 1 pill every 6 hrs. Fact is they knock me out as if they were Seconal or something. Sure takes the pain away, but thinking about flushing 40 of them. I sure don't need to take 1 every 6 hrs..more like 1 or 2 a day for a few days. Any comments?  God Bless, Steve

If you dont really need them any more ... get rid of them.

Thanks...I don't see the allure of this feeling..real out of it sorta. I just got rid of most of them already..no need, WAY too strong. Thanks guys.  Steve

I'm NOT enjoying this kind of drug..I'd rather take the pain. I flushed 57 percodans. It was a benign cyst deep within my pectoral, but this pill incapacitates me.   Steve

If the pain is still bad.. call and ask for prescription Ibuprophen... When I cut my knuckle off a few years ago  they gave it to me no problem...

It would of been great to tell the doctor that.......so he could of wrote you a script for 15 tabs

Only take what you need.   See, I see lots of allure with narcotics but not with benzos.  Also, even within the narcotic range I took percocets right after my surgery last week and didnt like them but I like norco.   I guess it just depends on each persons brain chemisty and makeup.

Thanks for commenting...I've been drifting off. But I think the effects are over. The Dr had a ready made Rx waiting for me at receptionist desk where I paid. BTW I see no allure about benzos either, I just happen to need a set schedule without changing or upping it, to maintain stability. It works with the other meds. I don't feel buzzed from any of my meds at all..never have. This restricted drug made me drift off into never land.
PS I have not been driving
