Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Yes, it is common for a person to be not able to sleep. The reasons can be anxiety, pain or effects of anesthetic drugs.

Are you having pain or any discomfort ?

I had a laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis scar removal as well as two endometriomas being removed. All of which mean 4 incisions. I think now that the percocets they gave me for the pain are what are causing the sleeplessness more than the actual surgery itself.

Dear XXXX,

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXa,

Sorry for the delay as my internet was down.

Percocets are pain relievers and do not cause sleeplessness.

Are you still sleepless?

If yes, then you can try tablet Restyl. It will give you good sleep.
