There was no explanation about a schedule or stepping down from the dosage. It was more like take the tylenol every 6 hours, take the Gabapentin every 8 hours and if you have a number between 7-10 for pain then use the oxycodone. I have it written down on a sheet the nurse gave me before I was discharged.
Thanks for your insight. I will have questions for my post op this week.
So many different version of the same situation.
Warm Regards,
