Good morning all,

I have read the debates etc with great interest

If am honest AM SHOCKED.....well am not sure that is the correct term moved like...I HAVE BEEN IN DENIAL....I have been on co codamol for about 4/5yrs...I don't take more than 10 a day which going by readers this isn't a lot BUT I am still addicted the slightest pain and I MEAN slightest I run and get some.....I have to admit I have not as yet come to deal with kidney problems...well to my knowledge....the only thing I have personally found is I sweat constantly and it's very embarrassing....having read all your comments and letters I WILL be making an appointment to see the doctor...I just wondered if sweating was a symptom for everyone or just me

Many thanks 

Mark

    Good morning City.

    You are in the trap... I aways say it as it is on here as someone who has been a user for many years, now nearly a heart beat away of dumping this drug habbit.

    Its the codeine that hooks you, the paracetmol that kills you. At 10 a day you are over dosing. Long term use of para kills you. New guidelines now stress 6 para a day only.

    Mark you have a habit, maybe now is the time to try and stop.
