Experiences with

Co-codamol

Hi, Does anyone know if it's safe to take co codamol after the covid vaccine? Got my jab last night. Unusually for me, I have side effects. I feel like roadkill! Want to take my painillers as my whole body aches. Co-codamol.30/500. Thank you

I’ve tried ibuprofen, paracetamol, naproxen, gabapentin, co codamol to many to mention

Does anyone take co-codamol along with Gabapentin ? I have been prescribed Gabapentin but have been taking co-codamol for many years .

) and he started asking me if I had any side effects when I don't take co-codamol, I said no and he said well people who are addicted to co-codamol like this usually feel dizzy when they don't take it!!!

Pain pain go away come back other day i have horrible pain chronic neck and back pain now i have chronic headaches 😣😭 naproxen isnt helping and co codamol are useless ....

I don't want to take co codamol long term and can't take ibuprofen as I get oesophagitis.

The Doctor took me off BuTec patches today,I have been on them for 8 weeks but they are giving me breathing problems and they no longer work,I was wondering if anyone new when it would be appropriate to go back on Co-codamol.

Has anyone used these after Co-codamol 30/500 or Tramadol? I have been prescribed these now to help since Tramadol was useless and Co-codamol barely touches the Endometriosis /Fibromyalgia pain. Patches will be 10mcg/hr Would like opinions, or suggestions to aide the transition? Thanks 🙏

At the moment i’m already taking co-codamol, buscopan, tranexamic acid and mefanamic acid. Thank you!

Meds wise I have so far only used pain killers, alternating Co-codamol (which works best but I am nervous of taking daily) and Paracetamol interspersed with Ibuprofen on the non-Co-Codamol nights (which doesn't work so well and I don't get much sleep). The GP wants me to try Ropinirole next.

And just recently started as well, on Co-codamol, initially 1 of the 8/500mg's to take twice a day. They are the effervescent type as the chemist didn't have in the tablet form. Now I have been upped to take 2 of the 8/500mg's twice a day.

Hello, I`ve been in chronic pain for many years and I`ve been prescribed Co-codamol. I need to see my GP to ask if I might be prescribed a more effective painkiller. I wpould greatly appreciate any help or advice as to what might be available to me on the NHS. Many thanks

Prescribed co codamol for pain relief at A&E (neck pain long story) When I got home read the data sheet that came with medication. Possible side effects are changes in blood cells such as low number of cells which fight infection and cells which is involved in blood clotting.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis , every night I take 2 Co-codamol for my backache before bed, bit always wake up and have to take more after about 4 hours, I’m thinking of trying a new mattress to see it that helps, any ideas welcome, Thank you Julie

Today I took the drop from 40 to 20 mg and started on Co-codamol - I’m amazed at how much less pain I have, but I guess that’s because I’m addressing the real issue of Osteoarthritis rather than PMR so I’m almost certain the moment Rheumatologist has the correct diagnosis.

A shower and lots of movement tends to help, along with Naproxen and possibly Co-codamol . I will back to smiley face and optimistic outlook in an hour or so. Happy Friday everyone, go softly through the day

Long story short, I started to take co-codamol (30mg codeine + 500 mg paracetamol).

- does anyone have any recommendations for a CBD oil to use for stage 4 lung cancer (with brain mets - leptomeningeal disease) - I am in remission on Osimertinib, which is good, but do sometimes suffer from pain and discomfort - co-codamol is good for pain relief but more than 4 a day causes severe

Patients on 6/8 Co Codamol tablets are not going to overdose and die. To believe this is nonsense. My parents who are almost 80 years old are NOT getting the pain relief they did when prescribed Co Codamol and Tramadol.

I take co-codamol amd pregabalin plus an antidepressant and a sleeping pill. The pain recently is so severe. I have been crying some of the day. In hospital they gave me oral morphine and it helped so much but the pain is stopping me getting anything done.
