[quote=Anonymous]I have been prescribed opioids many times after surgeries, and when I had cancer. Back a few years, it seemed the prescriptions were more open-ended, and for larger amounts. Today, things are much tighter controlled. As an example, in the past, the advice was "stay ahead of the pain", now it is "for the first two days, stay ahead....after that use the Tylenol and only use opioids if the Tylenol does not work". And, the size of the prescription in much smaller. With surgery in 2012, I was given 15 mg oxycodone every for hours for 15 days, or 90 pills. (that was for abdominal surgery). This year, after shoulder surgery, I was on 5 mg of oxycodone for a maximum of 6 days. I have never had any problems stopping, though. [/quote]
