Anybody been prescribed Dihydrocodeine?

Started them yesterday and have had an horrendous night!!!

I use to take them. They made me itch alot but after a few days I was ok with them. They will possibly make you drowsy but try and persevere with them.

I was up all night drinking water I had excessive dry mouth to the point I had difficulty breathing xxx

Think the medication and to be honest I didn’t see much difference to the pain just been drowsy today! Maybe try them again tonight and see what the outcome is xxx

[Texasanne]

Hi I use half or one tablet at night if I have anymore I have horrible dreams, I wake up every morning with a swollen tongue and aches from the tablet. I can't take the recommended drugs as I still have to work as a nurse and in constant discomfort. Have you tried nortriptaline, must admit I use reiki on myself and when my body is screaming I have Bowen Technique to ease my muscles, I take vit D and magnesium supplements. I hope your feeling better. I had a ct angio as its affected my heart now I'm having a flare up because of the contrast they used...

🤦‍♀️🙄 Hope your feeling better 💐

I was given them following a foot op - awful things, made me constipated and dehydrated - I’m prone to UTIs and kidney infections 3 days after op I started with UTI - bad at any time but even worse when non weight bearing and recovering from painful op!

If you have had symptoms of shortness of breath. Stop taking them and call your GP. DO NOT TAKE ANYMORE. Until you have taken medical advice.

I am unable to take anything with codeine in, so sounds as if you may not be able to do so either. I take Panadol Extra, in soluble form and am o.k. with that.
