Hi everyone-
So I had my tonsils out late tuesday afternoon, which makes today, Saturday, my fourth full day. Thursday was the day from hell- I continued had to take my Roxicet painkiller on an empty stomach because I couldn't keep anything down without throwing up, so I called my doctor and he prescribed promethazine for the nauseau. It worked great!
Here's my question regarding my painkillers..
--The doctor prescribed me a 300 ml bottle of liquid Roxicet (percocet, I believe)...and I have a little less than 100 ml left. I'm hoping this will last, because I assume doctors don't usually give out refills for such strong pain killers. I've been really on track with taking 2 teaspoons every four hours, as the directions say. If I run out, can I call in a refill? OR will the doctor tell me to try something like tylenol? I would hope that as long as I'm in pain they would give me whatever I need?
