Is it alright to take both of these simultaneously?? codeine and tramadol. I can't find the info on the net.
I'm a little concerned about respiratory depression.

when my back goes i take higher doses than that!
i have no tolerance as i very rarely take them.
wether it's ok ...i know not realy.
but what i can tell you is ...i seriously hate the spaced out sicky feeling and the sleep problems they give me.
we've been here before ...tell me ...where is the damage and what kind of damage is it again?
Thanks for the reassurance, it's just you read the blurb that comes in the box and when it says not to take it if you're taking two of the other tablets you're on you start to wonder. But I imagine they probably have to cover all the bases.
Doesn't help that I have no faith in our GP whatsoever though.
We've got bugger all chance of getting MST, and as for a smoke... he has his own reasons for not wanting to do that I suppose.
It'll give you rough dosage info and has information on interactions with other substances. I cant actually access it at this precise moment, but i'll try and do some research into interactions with Tramadol tomorrow and post what i find. That is if you dont get to it first.:)
I'm now convinced that in the info leaflets they're just covering their backsides and I just got a little bit over concerned! Ah well, I can't help it sometimes, you know?
If you are taking such high doses of it be sure to look after your stomach, its not known for being all that kind. Take the drug with a little food or milk.
with the codine phosphate and parecetomol you are in fact converting the meds into co-codomol or co-proxamol not quite sure which it is.. hope this helps? back pain has got to be one of the worst pains around.
has he got a body belt?
tens does work for some people. personaly i found it so friggin irritating!
Only mentioned it cos a friend of mine had terrible back pain and swears by TENS. There's a good evidence base for it for labour pains too. (More evidence than for acupuncture ). Posture's a good point - and I can't sing the praises of Chiropractors/Osteopaths highly enough.
