I also took a high dose of Co-codamol many years ago, and now wonder if it was the main cause of my hearing loss with tinnitus. it never suited me. I take Panadol Extra, liquid form, now.
Hi have been taking a higher dose of codeine 60mg four times a day for around twenty years and I don’t have any hearing side effects from it. I suppose it’s like everything everyone reacts differently to different drugs. I’m currently having a lot of eye twitching in one eye which is driving me nuts but like everything else I don’t suppose anything can be done about it. I hope your hearing gets better.
I've had eye twitching and eye pain as well. I have had to see my optician a few times. The pain is caused by dryness which a lot of people with fibro get; the twitching is a muscular thing and as this horrible illness affects everything it can also affect your eyes.
Hi. I've been on this dosage now for several years and it hasn't affected my hearing. Unfortunately, all drugs have some side effects and everyone reacts differently. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about coming off it (this will have to be managed gradually. I hope your hearing can then improve for you.
I'm on the same dosage, now I'm beginning to wonder if that's the cause of my Tinnitus. Makes me wonder, is it worth taking these meds as the side effects are sometimes worse than the condition they're taken for. Love n Hugs. Liz x🤗
If the level of pain experienced needs the pain med to relieve it maybe it's worth it, it can be a problem that arises if pain level is exaggerated for other reasons though.
