when can we start taking pills again?
The only restriction I had as far as pills go, was the timing (no taking calcium/tums within 4 hours of taking my thyroid meds). So basically I have been taking pills regularly since I got home.

I think doctor's restrictions all vary a bit. Mine said nothing larger than an asprin and to take them 10-15 minutes apart. They did tell me Tylenol was ok to not be cut in half. Also, my Prilosec is okay to not be split. They actually had me taking the Prilosec at the hospital before I left! They did have me taking vicodin pills cut in half too but the taste in my mouth was making me gag so they gave me liquid to take home.
