Painkillers knocking me out! Anything else I can take?!?! Started by: Faye

They knock me out but just been putting up with it. It’s the co-codamol xx

I swapped to ibuprofen and paracetamol or just ibuprofen if I was not too bad 🙂

I was told not to take anything with asprin in it by the hospital for at least 2 weeks so i think u can take any pain relief u like just check it doesnt contain asprin! The hospital gave me dissolvable paracetamol and diclofenac tablets! My meds never made me feel drowsy or sick – pretty lucky really!!! Although i never took them together spaced them out by an hour each and always took them after i’d had a meal! X

what do you do for work faye? i feel constantly sleepy, it must be the co-codamol! or it could be down to the fact you don’t get a good nights sleep sat upright lol xx

Awwww hope you feel better soon Faye xxx

Hope the nurofen does the job for you Faye 🙂 xx

You’re welcome. Here’s to a good nights sleep 🙂 xx

U can take paracetamol and ibuprofen together. I was taking two ibuprofen/nurofen, and one paracetamol. I cudnt take the cocodamol or diclofenac they fkd me up!
