leemond2008 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Just had my first crap since Monday lol they don't half **** constipate you them tablets. I was alright when I had a few cans on them the other day as well so that's a bonus. The only side affect that I'm getting (aside from near death through constipation) is the drowsyness I swear to got I get narcolepsy when I am taking them, pop one and about 90 minutes later I fall asleep for two hours...I'm looking forward to work next week so I can use them as an excuse for falling asleep at my desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 ok then you hippy trippy namedroppers are any of you clued up on prescription meds??? the doctor prescribed me 90 tablets of - co-dydramol 10-500mg 84 tablets of - diclofenac sodium 50mg 28 tablets of - lansoprazole 30mg does anyone know if this is a pretty hefty dosage to be taking, will these things put my head in the clouds or will they just knock me out and will I be ok to have a wee drink whilst on them? I know they say not to drink on them but half the time its just bollocks aint it as long as you are sensible with it I used to take Diclofenac for arthritis pain in my foot. Worked really well, and didn't have any side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 It's not been approved for that here. The (legal) UK drug bible is called the British National Formulary. As of 4 months ago - We're generally more stringent with pharmaceuticals in the UK. You have a much greater selection of painkillers available over the counter in the US, they're much more potent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking Tramadol right now...doesn't really work that well....but it's non-narcotic, so doctors are prescribing it without hesitation...
