Hello,

Yes I have tired it in the past. It did not suit me. I would feel dizzy, anxious & shaky when I took it. Came off them straight away. Reporting side effects to gyne pain specialist.

Have you tried this medication yet? Would be interesting to see how you feel on them.

All the best x

Hi, yes I rely on these to take the edge off the pain. They make me slightly drowsy- too drowsy to drive safely (I find driving too painful anyway) but not so drowsy that I can’t function. The drowsiness is helpful when it comes to getting to sleep at night though. Started on 1 tablet three times a day and now on 2 tablets three times a day. Plus regular paracetamol and naproxen (with omeprazole to protect my stomach).

Do you take omeprazole because of the naproxen?

Yes, naproxen would give me horrible indigestion/sore stomach if I didn’t take omeprazole. (Same as ibuprofen does to me.)
