If it were me, I would ask to switch to Percocet...the pill form of Roxicet.  Then break the pills.  They dissolve very fast so you shouldn't have any problem.  I always ask for Percocet.  However, if the reason you are feeling sick is not related to the syrupyness, then you need to ask your surgeon for a different family....worth asking.  Bottom line, don't ask for med advice from us...ask your surgeon.

I had liquid Percocet. I couldn't handle the Roxicet either. I dumped. And even with the liquid Percocet I still had to water it down like crazy. You could try that with the Roxicet and see if that helps. Otherwise, call your doc. Good luck! Lori

I did call the doc on call.  They said they cannot prescribe narcotics over the phone.  They said I would have to go to the ER for a new prescription.  That sucks.  I am going to just try the tylenol.

How did Tylenol work for you?  I hope that worked????  Do you think any of the pain is gas?  Are you using GasX at all?

I hated the pains meds soooo much I stopped taking them and just took it easy.  But I also didn't have a lot of pain.

If you really just can't plug your nose, down the meds, and then drink a cover up liquid, you'll have to go to the ER to get something else .... but make it a pill you can split into pieces. XXOO
