Unfortunately night of day 3 pain was worse so I tried the Oxycodone again (it’s mixed with Tylenol so have to choose one or other). No nausea and an impressive night of sleep convinced me to start taking the opioid at nights and Tylenol for working hours.
But now it’s the night of day 5 and two hours after taking OxyCodone has barely kicked in and not enough to sleep. I don’t know if it’s having an interaction with something I ate it my other medication (taken minutes before). But I can see why people up their dosages.
I would suggest you REALLY self assess carefully - are you not sleeping because of actual fresh pain? Or are you not sleeping because your body wants a nice fuzzy cloud of opioids to crash on?
Your first night of sober sleep is going to be a bit tougher no matter what, I suggest you try acedominophen and ibuprofen alternating to cut the surgical pain but you'll still need to get through the lack of narcotics
