Dihydrocodeine

[neatbik]

Im taking it to relieve pain from a tooth abcess, and i must say its really rather good.
Its now just a dull ache, and ive got that lovely chilled out, ever so slightly stoned feeling.
Lovely.

Where do you get that then?

Got it from Boots, normal paracetomol wasnt touching it..
Think it was a couple of quid for a 24 pack.

I got a load of codeine when I broke myself a couple years back. It's good at first but the more you take quickly gets much less effective, enjoy it while it lasts

[hellkat]

oh, yeah, does that come under the name of co-codamol, maybe?

Been wankered on that a couple of times, when I had my dodgy arm/shoulder problem last year
(which still gives me the odd twinge, I notice it a bit more lately than it has for the last nine months rather annoyed I gave my mum that Uddermint stuff. Must buy some more ... )

It is rather good.

Its not super strong stuff, but drugs (ahem.. ) tend to affect me quite well these days. Also i've not really been eating for the past couple of days, so maybe thats 'helping' things along..

I had an operation on my back a few years ago, and the codeine they gave me then used to totally knock me out, wouldnt mind some of that now actually, as the pain is starting to make me sweat again.

Didn't think you could buy codene over the counter? I know you can get co-codamol (sp) which is codene and paracetomol.

I'm on tramadol and it gets rid of some of the pain but doesn't do anything to my head anymore, infact i don't think oral tramadol ever has. IV tamadol and morphine however, and bloody great

a couple of years back my good wife injured her back and was prescribed some sort of ridiculous medicinal grade codene derivative, i took two by mistake when i had a headache and woke up 16 hours later they were ace. she was also prescribed 10mg diazepam for the spasms in her back muscles caused by the said accident they made me sleepy to.

I must once again complain about morphine and will do so here. Its shit! I was told after they gave me it when asking for something stronger after child birth as the contractions where still present after baby was born and I was sliced open! They gave me it a further few times via injection and it was useless. Made me drowsy that was it. They didnt give me dihydracodine but offered it.

Every time i have had morphine i have been away with the pixies aswell. Oramorph (they squirt it into your mouth and you swallow it) is quite rubbish, tastes foul aswell.

ProvectusIncurro - Just give me it neat!

My dad in-law takes morphine daily (60mg i think) and has been for about 3 years.It knocks him out for an hour every time.Has to take it morning and night the poor twat.

For normal tooth ache i found tylex works really well.

I'm guessing thats oramorph. I was allowed 10mg whenever i wanted it, that was while i was getting 100mg (iirc) of IV tramadol. It tastes foul, doesn't give you the funky head screwup and isn't as affective as oral tramadol (i found)

I need to go upto the GP soon (probably when i have got through these 100 tramadol caps ) and get something different, and something that will actually get rid of all my pain (which recently is a lot worse considering i sprained my knee on the ice on wednesday )

ProvectusIncurro - Fancy 'borrowing' something from your ambulance's meds cabinet and sending me it?

I'd happily fill out the paperwork for some happy juice (as i used to call it when i was spazzed out on drugs )

Just out of curiousity, what do they use as a 'long term' sedative? (ie - around 8-9 days)

Aaahhhh it could of been Midazolam, i remember one of the nurses mentioning a drug with a name similar to that (or the same, can't remember exactly) when i was yapping her to while she was reading my (big) wad of notes.

Whatever it was, i WANT some again.....it gives you the maddest trips ever when you have come off it and its still in your system. With the added ingredient of morphine etc aswell it is absolutley brilliant.

Imagine being in a cardboard house that can move around, change shape while loads of weird people are torturing you

Another thing i remember was the little 'light sensor' thing they stick on your finger (to measure your bp, hr etc). Well because i kept pulling it off my finger, the nurse told me it was a game and if i wanted to play the game i had to leave it on my finger. Well suprisingly enough, i didn't want to play the game So they put it on my toe, somehow i imagined that they had tied a bit of string around my toe and they had tied it to the back of a bike. The bike set off and ripped my toe off

*goes off to look for uni courses on med's*

I have had morphine via an epidural and it never really killed the pain,just made me feel spaced out and tramadol was never any good to me either.

I suffer terribly when i have to go into hospital for any surgery.
