Hi Ed : )
Hope everythings good with you..
Because of the kidney pains I've switched back to Tegretol!..To be honest though i've found that the intial good buzz from trileptal has now wore off anyway and it feels much the same as tegretol so its not such a bad thing changing anyway..
Also I've now got brand Tegretol Retard so hopefully it'll work slightly beter then the Alpha pharma stuff with side effects etc..
Anyway I was wondering what you know about Codedine? I get head aches alot and have had a couple of my mums Co-Codamol Tablets - 8/500, that she was given for back pain. I understand these contain 500mg Paracetamol and 8 mg codeine.
This added 8 mg of codeine makes me feel very relaxed indeed lol...Am i right in thinking you can get this 8/500 mix over the counter in pharmacys without a prescription?
Also taking this codeine could it upset or make bipolar anyworse ? i.e make me depressed or high?
Thanks for your thoughts/advice about this
Kind reagrds
Nick
Ps, i know codeine can be addictive - id only be using it for as needed haed aches though, not everyday use lol
