Wisdom teeth extraction, my percocet is already gone, will he prescribe somethin!
Question: The percocet worked great! But now it's gone. There's a label on the bottle that says under federal law no refills, but can he prescribe something else for the pain when I go back for the follow up? Like Vicodin or something similar?

He can prescribe more percocet if thats what you need, but I doubt you will need more of that. In the meantime you can try some tylenol or motrin, but be careful not to over do the motrin because it thins the blood a little and if you get dry socket....yikes. But 800mg (4pills) three times daily should be okay. BUT you can always call him and ask! Thats what your paying him for.
How long has it been since the extraction? You shouldn't need that much pain medication. Take something over the counter if you're still in pain.

Try some lighter over the counter pain killer and if its still pain go back and get it checked
