Co-dydramol

Does anyone here take co-dydramol?
Is so what side effects do you get? There is quite a range of side-(posible) effects, curious to see which ones come up.

It makes me feel very spaced out and light headed. Does kill the pain though, or perhaps I just don't care about it anymore

Only thing I have noticed is that it gives me extremely vivid (and often quite rude) dreams!

I just had a short course for dental problems - no side effects (I only had them for a week) but my goodness they work quickly. I was well impressed.

I get the opposite!!

Oh and nausea too.

It does kill the pain, but I won't take codein any more.

I just get a little light-headed, but that's it. To be honest, when I'm in pain I prefer being out of it!

I find when I take Codydramol its great for the pain and also helps me fall asleep and stay asleep longer (though no impact on my dreams!) but I wake up groggy and slow as a result, I can get a few dizzy spells more then normal (I get these normally too) and it also gives me constipation.

It also can be very addictive. I don't mean that your climbing the walls and looking for the nearest chemist as soon as its wearing off, and I don't get shakes or tremors but the feeling anxious, the pain returning, the insomnia makes me feel like I'd be better off taking another pill.

Brilliant for getting rid of pain. I get sleep paralysis on occasion-not sure if that's the meds or coincidence.

I had dizziness, nausea and pins and needles in my face when I took these. It did nothing for the pain, just made me feel rather ill. I was given a pack after an operation, but I felt better when I switched to paracetamol and bags of ice.

Sends me a bit woosy light -headed. Just be aware that any drug will usually have a massive list of side effects, the majority of which most people won't have. They present them by frequency so you'll know which are the most common ones, but it can look scary seeing so mnay things written down. It's a legal requirement, doesn't mean the drug will make you have them
