right i have co-codamol 8/500mg and some nurofen plus which is 200/12.8

I'm taking co-codamol at the moment, and its numbing the pain a fair bit, but its not completely gone...
which of the two is stronger?
and what would happen if i took 2 of each?

I've got a several boxes equaling 120 of those and a box of 400mg Ibuprofen equaling 100 sitting in a draw in the kitchen...

I find the Co-Codamol doesn't touch me but the pink Ibuprofens work if I take two at a time...Although the box says no more than three to be taken daily, one at a time...

And Nurofen doesn't work on me either...

I think the Co-Co's are the strongest out of the two you have though...

Ask for some 30/500 Co-Codamols.

That's what they gave me for a broken finger, took the edge off.

One word... DON'T Laughing

I thought it would be a good idea to take some of Jut's (other half) prescription 'pain killing' drugs, when I hurt my knee.

Spun me out, thought I was going to die... had a panic attack... man, it was horrid. BUT on the plus side, had the best night's sleep and really trippy dreams Laughing

I'm a lightweight

Coedine bungs you up though, so if you take them for more than a day or two expect to be churning out rock-hard logs.

After my crash I was on coedine or worse for months, I had to use boiling water and a big f*** off screwdriver to flush my loo on more than one occasion!

Well if you wanna know which has more codeine in, that'll be the nurofen with 12.8mg versus 8mg in the co-codomol.

You can take paracetamol and nurofen together, but I dont know what the safe limit is for codeine, and as these products both contain it, you should have a quick google...

Taking 2 of each would give you 1g of paracetamol, 400mg ibuprofen and 41.6mg of codeine.. Thumbs Up

Just checked, I've got 120 of 8/500 and 80 of 10/500 Co-Co's, plus the Ibuprofens...

Never seen the 30/500s though...

Ibuprofen is an anti inflammatory and reduces swelling.

Co-Codamol is purely for pain relief and can if your doc allows depending on any medical problems be taken along side the Ibuprofen.

However do not take other paracetamol medication at the same time as co-codamol (including things like Lemsip) as that is bad mmkayyy.

For me ibuprofen was better than co-codamol but it varies from person to person.

Oh, and codine is well known for bunging the bung hole up if taken for extended periods.

I was taking 60mg of Codeine every 4 hours when I was just 16, so I doubt 41.6mg will do you much harm.

Although the Doctor did throw a fit when he realised I'd been taking that much, apparently I was too young! Neutral.

As for taking codeine, paracetamol and nurofen together, that's all good. Anti-inflammatory and an opioid narcotic is all sun and daises. Thumbs Up.

Codeine is also habit forming, so don't get too used to them.

If you're taking 24mg of codeine, I'd pop in past the chemist for a bottle of syrup of figs tomorrow. You're going to need it.

60 grammes ? I hope you you mean milligrammes... cos to get that ammount from co-codomol you'd need to take 7500 tablets, which is 3.75kg of paracetemol, and an achey hand will be the least of ya worries Very Happy

What he said. Thumbs Up

I suffer with migraines, nothing shoves them. Not even prescribed migraine medication. I found taking 3x500mg codiene used to help, but in between taking them (3 at a time - wouldn't take more than 9 in 24hrs) the pain would come back. As soon as I started taking tremadol, rarely suffer with the migraines coming back once i've taken the 1st dose.


By the way, I've but up quite an immunity to pain killers over the years, I can eat paracetamols and ibuprofen like they are sweets and not feel anything.

As your GP about tremadol if you find the co-codamol+others arent working for you, he might even be able to suggest something inbetween the 2 (such as just plain codiene tablets - although like others have said, with those expect rock hard turds and be drowsy to begin with until you get used to them).

Hope it helps.

Dunno if you can buy them over the counter, but I got prescribed 'dihydrocodeine' tablets which are just 30mg of codeine with no paracetamol.... seemed to work well and could take quite a few. (dont remember having solid shits either lol)

Some ethnic gentlemen in America have coined "Purple Drank" for this stuff, get codiene cough mix, with a couple of Jolly Rancher sweets, and some Sprite.

Becareful with tramadol - I got unknowingly addicted to it.
Didn't realise I was until I stopped taking the tablet before bed (had cut down from eight a day and pain wasn't any worse for it).
Despite a couple of sleeping pills, was all itchy, shivers, etc - ended up having to go to half, then a quarter of a tablet etc to ween myself off it even more gently!

well i took 2 co-codamol and 2 nurofen plus first thing in the morning... then fainted. head still feels funny 4 hours later so wont be trying that again. Looks like i might buy some tramadol
(should only be on it for a few days, a week max, so not too worried about addiction)
