I've got a condition that they have not yet been able to diagnose. I can feel it coming on so going to get my prescription today. I've ended up having to go to a&e in the past and they have always given me stonger stuff (codeine 60mg I think and I've had pethidine shots). This is the first time my doctor has prescribed pain relief so I was hoping they would be stronger than over the counter as everything I have purchased has never helped in the slightest.
If you do need pain relief then I suggest (short term only) taking two Neurofen Max and two Solphadine Max, thats 50mg or so of codiene.
I shall try what you have suggested, thanks.
You'd get 20 odd in a packet and they wouldnt be much more than a pound each. You've been conned I'm afraid, although the money is going to a good cause.
If they make you sick have you tried one of the other pain killers available, voltarol is quite good I've found and it lasts longer. Taramadol is another, although some people find that a bit too strong.
Principle?
Of sorts, I know two people who were on it on high doses for ages and found no difficulty coming off at all. Up to you though of course.
Vicky you should go back to the doctors and get a higher dosage
So he's given me stuff to stop the side effects and told me to carry on with the pills, see him in the new year if I need to and wait for my hospital appt.
Don't knwo if it's good or bad but my original pain isn't happening now.
Make sure you take it as soon as the pain starts, rather than waiting for it to become unbearable.
:yes:
and aye codeine sometimes comes bundled with the lovely extras of constipation and itchyness! :no:
