Even though I was taking under half the prescribed amount, last night Randy and I decided I should try substituting Tylenol PM for the codeine I was taking.
BAD Choice!
That decision resulted in a night of pain and very little sleep. I text-ed (can you believe this guy!) my plastic surgeon, who assured me I could keep taking codeine for another two weeks. So glad to hear I will not be a codeine junkie for Halloween.
Soon after taking the prescribed pill I was pain free. I was telling my sister who is also a nurse about this. She said studies rarely indicate addiction to codeine. I feel better now that I can have my drug without worries. If you are two weeks out of double mastectomy surgery—Just say No to Tylenol PM!
