Can I take co-codamol with amitriptyline and 1/2 a sleeper together ?

in reply to letslaugh63

That'll give you a good night's sleep for sure!

:)

I'll google it and let you know.

How do you check what you can take together ?

in reply to letslaugh63

Just google 'em and see what you come up with (use the word "contraindication" too)

I used to have similar things on my fingers at the time I was getting diagnosed. They've stopped now, so hopefully yours will too once Plaquenil kicks in.

It is joint inflammation, v painful, I know. Comes out of nowhere. Heat and more heat, that's what I usually do.

Zopiclone, Codeine and Amitriptyline?

Personally I wouldn't:

gro-scotland.gov.uk/files2/...

(this one does say alcohol was in the mix, but it seems to have been deadly)

netdoctor.co.uk/aches-and-p...

nhsdirect.nhs.uk/en/FemaleS...

Once or twice (if you are absolutely desperate) probably would just give you some sleep (and a hangover) but more than that - not good.

Not what you want to hear, I know.

Hope you get some sleep tonight.

Lie on the sofa and put your legs up high as poss, either on the sofa back or an adjacent wall for as long as poss. That should help. x

You also need to take some anti-inflammatories!

letslaugh63 in reply to Tigerlily4

Ty tiger lily but don't have any my stomachs don't like aspirin x

Tigerlily4 profile image
Tigerlily4 in reply to letslaugh63

I appreciate that as so many can't tolerate Aspirin but it's not the only anti-inflammatory and this is an inflammatory disease. You can't hope to control it without anti-inflammatory medication of some kind.

Will ask doc and ty for your help tiger lily x

Tigerlily4 in reply to letslaugh63

You're most welcome :) I know only too well what a minefield the meds can be. Celecoxib is an anti-inflammatory that doesn't affect the stomach so you won't need to take anything else with it. I'd definitely think about giving that a try. Good luck x

Drugs.com is a useful website

Ibuprofen on a full stomach?

I have a lot of problems with my feet and toes, particually the left one. The podiatrist said i have swelling underneath my feet. He told me to use hot and cold. I put my feet, not toes otherwise you can get frostbite, on a packet of frozen peas for five minutes and then on a hot water bottle. I do for about a half an hour. It does help some.

Heehee, I've trained myself to sleep like that over a number of years. Keeping your legs raised as much as possible will help though so do it as often as you can manage!
