[boag]

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER MIX PAIN DRUGS!
NEVER EVER!
And before I forget
NEVER EVER MIX PAIN DRUGS!
Thats a one way ticket to ODing.
Holy shit this story is just showing off what a horrible thing the journey to change sex is, it might be worse than just living with gender dysphoria, for which there are medication that can actually help and dont put a persons life at risk,

 

[Aikireikinu]

There aren't meds to treat gender dysphoria, and each trans person's level of dysphoria and their ability to live with it varies a lot.

At any rate, every individual's transition experience tends to be a bit different. The author's seems to be a bit atypical, in that she felt good immediately after the surgery and then started feeling the effects later. Usually the most intense pain is in the first 3-5 days after the surgery.

It also varies a lot by a person's pain tolerance, just as with any major surgery. In my case, I was on a morphine drip while in the hospital for 3 days, and then just on extra-strength Tylenol for a couple weeks.

I suspect in the next chapter we'll learn that there was some complication that led to the current pain.

 

[FortMax]

Yeah. When I had my surgery, I was back home the next day, and after a week and a half didn't need anything for pain besides maybe the occasional over-the-counter Tylenol.

 

[OniBarubary]

Yeah, this reads more like a complication arose. Or maybe she did something she didn't realize and exacerbated it.

 

[myshi]

its spelled tramadol. also, why did they give her tramadol in lieu of an opiate when tramadol is apparently just as addictive as opiates?

 

[Untramen]

@myshi
Tramadol is a non-conventional opioid drug and falls under Drug Schedule IV, as it is considered safer and less likely to be abused than other opioid drugs (such as hydrocodone which is Schedule II). That isn't to say you can't get addicted to it, but the mechanism of action for tramadol is slightly different and has less risk of dependency according to studies.

I'm really just going over my pharm notes for this information so sorry I don't have any big ol' sources but you can see the DEA drug scheduling and you can see Tramadol is classified as less risky https://www.dea.gov/drug-scheduling

Edit: Seems Tramol is also just the name of Tramadol in some countries (just like how paracetamol is the name for acetaminophen in many countries) so I wouldn't really say it's a misspelling here either.

I really dig your pharmaceutical notes, they add much to manga experience
