Paracetamol with codeine

[connda]

My guy sells it to me across the counter but he's not suppose to. I use it to sometimes to calm my system/stomach pains. It doesn't happen very often but codein shuts down the spasms like nothing else. I do hate taking it. I'm constipated for the next couple of days and it makes me crazy!

Your doctor wants you to be taking this on a regular basis? Eff that! Have a bowel movement every few days?

Try Gabapentin. This is a much better way to go that codeine for pain.

Gabapentin is a dangerous drug and you should do your research (Google it) before even considering it......Try searching, "is Gabapentin dangerous" for a start.

Sounds exactly like drugs I have taken daily for years to allow me to piss like a normal person. Do I want to take them? No. But life can be pretty darn uncomfortable if I don't. If you read the indications, contra-indications, and interactions page of virtually any FDA approved drug, you'll see a list like this. What you need to do is to look into the frequency of those adverse reactions. Generally they are a percent or fraction of a percent of users who are effected. Should you know? Hell yeah, of course. Be an educated user. But generally you'll be outside of statistically 'Significant' if you react in the way that many of the drugs report. Absolutely do your research. Eating too much table salt will eventually kill you. But, forewarned is forearmed. Just be smart about what you put in your mouth.

Agree again

They have to put those SE in if any have been reported, they're just covering their own butts

For those with RLS, gabapentin is a godsend when detoxing off of an opiate. Not claiming first hand knowledge, just saying. Talk to you own physician boys and girls...you're mileage may vary.

Having all of said that, remember that the OP’s post was about acquiring paracetamol with codeine.

And “Gabapentin is FDA approved as an antiepileptic and for management of postherpetic neuralgia, not as a general painkiller”.

I doubt your bag with be searched. It's not a big deal, you have the script.

You can get codeine over the counter in Cambodia if it comes to that.

Thank you all, Ive decided not to stopover in Dubai and fly straight through. I'll look in the places you mentioned for my mess but will have enough probably to tide me over.

Unfortunately Thailand is not big on pain killers and doctors, even those in hospital are reluctant to prescribe codeine.

I'd advise being very careful with this.

I've been told by a doctor in Thailand that codeine is a very touchy subject due to extensive abuse in the past.

I wouldn't feel safe with medicine containing codeine in my luggage when going through the customs on arrival.

A post describing illegal activity has been removed.

fwiw, my understanding, is that crushing long acting oxycontin is the largest culprit of abuse, not so much the hydro/oxycodones.

and that addiction to codeine is far less common that people like to crow about. and tramadol works on the receptor at the synapse, but its the same synapse as what codeine works on, so not dissimilar in

either adverse reactions, nor effects

the experience of pain is complicated, vs. the mechanics, hence the use of mood drugs for "pain" etc
