Hi Debi,

Swapping pain meds is a worrying event. You have the concerns that the reliability of your old med will be missed and there are always the possibilities of new side effects. Then you have to remember dose times and wait for a therapeutic dose to be reached.

However, I am sure you will get into the swing of things rapidly, and will soon be experiencing greater pain relief. Just take things extra easy for a while and clock-watch as meds time comes around. Please be careful regarding taking extra meds, perhaps put them in another place. It is something I have done on many occasions, normally double-dosing due to extreme tiredness and forgetting I had already taken everything.

Here's to low pain,

Dave.
