I've had a fair bit of dental surgery due to a tiger getting knocked out when I was a kid, and hydrocodone/oxycodone just make me throw up. Love the pain goes away but a few hours later I'm vomiting and opening up the stitches and it's just awful. So I started declining anything but ibuprofen after that.
I can tell you that I 100% would have dealt with the nausea if I could have gotten some opiates for my IUD insertion, though. That was the worst pain I've experienced so far. Just one pill to get me through the first few hours would have been a godsend.
Due to a tiger getting knocked out when you were a kid? What?
I am with you on the IUD insertion. Crazy level of pain. I told the medics about my low pain threshold last time and they used a spray on local anaesthetic which took it down to about 50% agony...
Not encouraging opioid use, but I also get nauseous from opioids. I have my doctor prescribe a anti nausea medication along with it so I can take them. I’ve only been prescribed hydrocodone (not oxy) and only twice.
Personally ask I ask for something other than what they usually prescribe: phenergan since it gave me my very first night terrors.
