Question:
What do we take post-op for general headache pain?

I have prescription Roxicet, which I took immediately post-op. However, it made me way too drowsy and gave me vivid dreams.    — ZaZa F. (posted on May 31, 2002)

Tylenol is safe, even after WLS. If this doesn't work, you may need to explore stronger options with your neurologist, i.e. Zomig or Immitrex (if you are suffering from migraines) or a mild narcotic if you just get really bad headaches.

i could not swallow the large extra strength tylenol pills, so i got childrens chewable tylenol. i think the adult dose was 4 pills. not delicious but tolerable. they used to make a liquid adult tylenol too, but i couldn't find it at the time. it may contain alcohol, too so check the label. i also use ice packs on my head for severe headaches, which luckily i dont get very often. patsy in las vegas

I got the Extra Strength Liquid Tylenol - it seems to work rather quickly. It is hard to find though -- I had to order it through the pharmacy I work at. Check with the pharmacist @ your local pharmacy...maybe they have it in the pharmacy or they can order it for you.

visit my profile page by clicking on my name (underlined) and I have a list of medications that aren't allowed no more over the counter and a list of meds you are allowed to take now. Good luck to you.
