God, I feel awful. I had sinus surgery (fixed a deviated semptum, cleared out some collapsed sinus areas, did a biopsy on some bone that had grown into one of my cavities, all fun stuff, I assure you). I've heard this takes a while to heal, but geesh.
I'm on oxycodone right now. Was taking 2 pills per dose and am at least down to just one. I hate the stuff. It makes me itch like a mofo. I have to take Zyrtec along with it (24 hour allergy meds that make me tired and sleepy). I also get super nauseated taking painkillers, so there's a pill for that too. And, yeah, that also makes me super tired and groggy.
I feel like all I do is sleep and . . . well . . . sleep some more. I know it's a good thing.
I hate weaning off these meds. I get so cranky and shit. Any advice? I figure I'd start cutting the pills down now. Maybe not half, but 3/4.

stay awake as long as you can, stare at a visualizations like Milkdrop or something. Report on hallucinations.

Didn't your mama ever tell you not to tango with a carrot?

Hahaha. It's so hard to stay awake. I've been in and out all day, dozing off. Having really eff'ed up dreams too.
I'm also craving Chinese food like mad.

Re: Unnggghhhh
I'm getting there. Down to half tablets of the oxycodone. God, I hate this stuff. Hate it. I've been trying to eat more protein and less carbs. Drinking a lot of fluids. I have a dull, persistent headache. I know it will get better! I just hate feeling like I'm so drugged up. I can't even enjoy the LOL moments on Fox News.
