I take Solpadeine which is very similar to what the Dr has told you to take with no side effects. If you are experiencing jitters and feeling very sick, I would contact your Dr again and let him know.
I would stop them and call the Dr in the morning.
Some people can react quite strongly, and I also fall into that category with several heavy duty pain meds.
If you let the Dr know, chances are he can prescribe an alternative.
Sorry you are in pain right now.
I hope the effects wear off soon. My mum and two of my sisters don’t react well to codeine either.
Sorry you’re in such pain that ibuprofen doesn’t touch it though ☹ Hopefully they’ll find something better for you.
Solpadeine is Paracetamol, Codeine and Caffeine its quite strong and the only thing that stops my migraines and cluster headaches. Even the stuff prescribed by the Dr didn't work. I can't take Ibuprofen as it doesn't work well with the medication I'm on for life.Is the solpadeine stronger than than paracetamol and ibuprofen?
I only know them, and you now. Same with morphine! Seems it doesn’t do it for us either. I don’t know as I’ve never had it.Thank you I’m sorry for your mum and sister as well, I’ve never heard of it causing issues in some people until now

I had these after my surgery. I got the most horrendous side effects. A great pain reliever but the added affects (as you describe) are awful
I used to get them a lot. Then my acupuncturist got to work and all but cured them. It's wonderful to be virtually pain free and not have red hot nails screwing up behind my left eyeball!Migraines are the absolute worst, I’m glad there’s something that works for you! I’ve only ever had a handful and it’s one of the worst things I’ve been through, really hope you don’t get them often
I got terrible headaches (which I thought initially were a result of GA, but they only came on within an hour of taking Co-codamol and stopped when I stopped taking it). I also was very fatigued and felt totally wiped out. I had my left ovary removed as a result of my endometriosis and had it prescribed after surgery. They also prescribed it to me after my ectopic pregnancy but I chose to not take it after the first time round!which side effects did you have? Sorry that you went through this too
@Rivervixen did you try taking it at night? Not saying that would be better though. Do call your doc. I’ve got some for when periods are bad. I’ve only ever used it once as I’m scared of having side effects with the kids in the house.

It’s a great pain killer but it does make most people feel rubbish. Your doctor might be able to recommend an alternative?
Oh it’s ok, but thank you so much. I actually talk quite openly about it. I’m not afraid to talk about my endometriosis, couple of miscarriages and ectopic as I feel so many out there suffer in silence, and they shouldn’t have to. I hope I can help others who have suffered with similar issues. We should be able to talk about it.that is such a lot to go through, I’m so very sorry struggling to find words at the moment, just want to give you a big hug after reading that. It definitely wipes you out that’s for sure, going to get on to them tomorrow x

I just hope you feel better soon, and hope you can get some better pain relief.
and I have my piggies and fur babies to help me through too
