Help Please

Hi everybody.  I had to have my molar pulled today, and they gave me liquid penicillan and vicodan caplets. (I told them that I needed everything to be liquid)  I still have some of the lortab liquid from my sugery.  Should I use that or crush up the vicodan and take that instead?  I see my surgeon tomorrow so it's just to get me through the night.  Thanks in advance for nay words of wisdom. Toothless in Tucson.  

I took liquid Vicodin for several weeks post op. But it was the choice I told my doctor for pain meds--didn't really need it, but I used the liquid instead of Vicodin tablets I use for severe headaches.  If you can swallow your vitamin or calcium citrate pills easily, I'd use the Vicodin tablets. I've never crushed any meds or vitamins I take. I hate taking big pills, so I opt for a liquid vitamin and a powdered form of calcium citrate, mixed with shakes or foods (oatmeal in the morning, etc.). Liquid vitamin is noted on my profile page.

Thanks Dave, I have chewable vitamins, and since I'm going to see my surgeon tomorrow I just went ahead and took the liquid lortab.  I don't know if there's a difference,  but my non-tooth really hurts. I also took some liquid tylenol, as per instructions from the endo, to do this if it still hurts after the pain meds.  It seems to help. I might be looking up your source for liquid vits after tomorrow.  I have my first post-op class too.  So I can see what the nut wants us to have. Thanks for the info.

Glad you're going to your post op support group.  You said class, I assume it's a group. You'll probably learn a lot in these classes or groups.
