But on the packet it says not to take other paracetamol products with it???Try taking 1 of the 30/500 co-codamol with 1 normal paracetamol, I find that this combination helps with the pain without making you too lightheaded/ sleepy
Took it before bed last night but didn't seem to have too much of an effect on me than it does in the mornings if that makes sense?? This is the only thing out of the hundreds (exaggeration) of things that I have taken that wants to work!!Take the codeine before going to sleep and take something less sedating during the day. What about the cold gel patches that can be bought or TENS?
Medtronic also supply pain relief devices in addition to insulin pumps
8/500 has no effect on me, 15/500 has a slight affect on me but boy 30/500 knocks me for six! lol took 2 about an hour ago and I want to sleep now aha but yet when I took 2 last night I was fine....yet I took them so I could sleep.......always the way!!
I wouldn't like to say I am addicted lol....only just started taking them!I knew someone addicted to cocodamol.. Yep, that was always the way!
I wouldn't like to say I am addicted lol....only just started taking them!
The 30/500 co-codamol is basically 30mg of codeine and 500mg of paracetamol. If you take 1 co-codamol and 1 paracetamol you would not be increasing the paracetamol dose, you would just be losing 30mg of the codeine which is the bit that makes you lightheaded and sleepy. Just don't take more than 1000mg of paracetamol in any one dose of tablets. I hope that makes senseBut on the packet it says not to take other paracetamol products with it???
Oh aha good! It does help the pain though......kind of lol! But I did feel terrible yesterday..not so bad today though thank god!Don't worry, I'm not suggesting by any means that you are...
But I've seen the effects when used to "self medicate" purely against life's daily challenges...
The symptom characteristics you have described are similar...
Oh right yes that makes perfect sense thank youThe 30/500 co-codamol is basically 30mg of codeine and 500mg of paracetamol. If you take 1 co-codamol and 1 paracetamol you would not be increasing the paracetamol dose, you would just be losing 30mg of the codeine which is the bit that makes you lightheaded and sleepy. Just don't take more than 1000mg of paracetamol in any one dose of tablets. I hope that makes sense
It doesn't bother me too much now lol as I am sitting at a desk lol and just makes me wanna sleep haha!Codeine is miracle stuff - seems to be the only pain killer that works for me without any other side effects. Gotta be careful with it though, they warn you about addiction for a reason.
The drowsiness is normal but if it's affecting your day too much I'd have a word with the doctor and see if they can prescribe something else.
No I haven't got a date yet as my last appointment I was told to either have the op or injections and that i had 2 months to decide. And my appointment with the surgeon is 17th October!Have you got a date yet for the back op?
If you haven't, try writing a letter to the consultant explaining yr circumstances re tiredness at work which in turn affects yr ability to concentrate and affects yr employment. See if you could take a cancellation. Most consultants will do their best to oblige if they can.
