feel like hell today.  I think my body objected to the percocet.  I spent several hours after supper alternating between sitting in my chair feeling half-dead and staggering to the bathroom to throw up.

not good for a damn thing today.

Wandered here from Yndy's journal...

ALWAYS have a little nibble prior to taking any serious pain killer. Even if it's just a piece of toast.

Next time you are supposed to take one, have a little snack first. You may still feel a little queezy when you move around too much, but it should stop the vomiting.

I don't recall for sure what I ate yesterday, but I know I took two doses of percocet -- one around 1pm, not too long after I ate lunch, one around 6pm not long before supper. I've been trying to remember whether I had anything to eat shortly before the second dose, and while I have a feeling I did, I can't recall what it might have been.

I normally don't react this way to percocet.

shrug.

Keep it in mind.

Pain killers always make me feel nauseated, some worse than others - hydrocodone isn't even worth it as it makes me feel way to ill.

I'm a walking pharmacy, so, if you ever have a question and don't have a physician's desk reference available, ask me! It's sad but true.

re: your other comment, Hellu as well. I may have complete Unix un-foo, amazing super powers that must be seen to be believed "I know you typed that right, I was sitting right here... WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED????", but I am handy in other ways.

It's always good to have friends with pharmacological knowledge. :)

I'm not brushing off the advice; it's just I've gotten a lot of practice with painkillers over the last six years, and I don't THINK I goofed up. I think I just had an unusually violent reaction to the stuff this time, and I don't know why. Far as I can tell, it was Just One Of Those Random Things. (Which does not in any way alleviate yesterday's pain or last night's subsequent misery.)

Check the experiation date? But if the first was okay then it probably wasn't that. But when was the last time you had to take two doses in one day?

I don't remember exactly.

Welcome, by the way. :)
