After a week waking at 4am with bad anxiety attacks would it be okay to take 2 of the co/codamol tablets before going to bed to hopefully aid in getting some sleep bearing in mind that I have just taken my second 20 mg citalapram tablet, going on holiday tomorrow & really need some shut eye ?

    Hi Andy,

    when i take 2 500mg cocodamol this makes me sleepy, it has the same effect as if you were on morphine as this is hat your body turns it into.

    I am currently on this for a bad back.

    Hi Andy, if you are going to do it as a one off then fine but wouldn't recommend it. Suggest you try and have a relaxing holiday and go and see your doctor when you get back.
