Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Hi...this is Becki's mom here. She is having a lot of pain, and the vicodin is giving her terrible nightmares. She had percoset in the hospital, with the same result. She can't rest...they are so vivid and horrible. Is there some other pain med. that anyone is familiar with that won't do this? She will call the Dr. tomorrow, and she'd like to have a name or two for reference. Thanks...Please e-mail asap...Becki's Mom, Marge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Becki...I have the same problem with Percoset....I keep thinking people are trying to kill me and I wake up and can't move I'm so scared. I'm not sure about other drugs...we have some good medical people here that can help....maybe ask for something not in the same family as percoset! Hope she feels better soon! ~~* AJ *~~ Age 37 5'8'' Post op 7/24/01 Open BPD/DS self pay - Dr Baltasar -Alcoy Spain 07/24/01 BMI 64 415.1 08/06/01 BMI 59 390.2 -24.9 lbs! -10.75 inches 08/16/01 BMI 58 387.0 -28.1 lbs! -11.25 inches 08/24/01 BMI 58 386.5 -28.6 lbs! -15.5 inches 08/30/01 BMI 58 378.3 -36.8 lbs! -21.25 inches My personal website: www.WLS4AJ.homestead.com Check out the Bellingham Support Group at WWW.WLSBellingham.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Hi Marge, I'm sorry Becki is in so much pain. I wish I could help more, but the only pain med that I am familiar with is vicodin. I'm sure once you contact the doc he will be able to help. Please tell Becki I wish her a speedy recovery and I will keep her in my prayers. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Hi...That's exactly the same as her experience! She is afraid to go to sleep, almost. The Dr. said she could switch to Tylenol. Thanks for answering so quickly!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Hi- Please forgive me if I mis-spell these. What about Demerol (with phenegrin for possible nausea) or Torodol...Codine...I guess worse case...if she is in intense pain you could ask the doctor for Morphine in pill form...they also have a Morphine patch which might help. Your best bet will be the doctor. These are just ideas off the top of my head. I hope she starts to feel better soon. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
