Can Discontinuing Percocet Post Hernia Repair Surgery Cause Nausea?

I had a hernia repair yesterday and all went well until late today. I stopped taking the percosets about 1 p.m. today, mostly because I do not like the constipation they cause. A few hours ago i started vomiting and am having a difficult time keeping fluids down. I am afraid of becoming dehydrated. Any advice?

Hello,

Thanks for your query on HCM

"As"per your clinical history is concerned you can discuss with your treating doctor for any alternate post-operative painkiller if you feel pain and if no pain is there then you can talk about [promethazine]as IM injection which will control your vomiting as well as it will work as sedative.

Hope that helps
