Anecdotal, but ~a week after my surgery 3 years ago I told my doctor I quit taking my pain meds 2 days post-op as I wasn't in pain anymore and don't like pills. I was initially given a 14 day supply. Upon hearing this he asked me if I needed more or would like a stronger variant.
This was at a higher tier facility that works on professional athletes in the NFL and MLB.

I honestly just wanted to get out of the hospital and was annoyed they kept me overnight. But I walked out with a prescription for... guess what.
