Justherself,
I dont know if you have been to your surgeon for your post surgical f/u but I would call at least your primary MD and ask about the med combo you are now taking.( Esp sinced he is probably most familiar with your psych med regime success.)
Ask if Extra Strength Tylenol would be effective enough for your pain control. These could be taken every 6 hours if needed and for many people provide just as much pain control as the scheduled drug Tyl #3 with codeine.
ES Tyneol can often be taken without compromising the psych drugs that have helped you to maintain your mental health staus prior to your surgery.Also the use of warm towels (like one min in
the microwave) applied as often as needed
will often also help with pain control.Just a thought..Hope you feel better soon.
