Moderately extreme...
Due to constant knee pain, I recently started taking paracetamol,1000mg, maybe once or twice a day. not every day. It helped a bit.
Today, I decided to take one paracetamol 500mg, with 1 co/codamol 8/500. That is, a total of 1000mg of paracetamol and a mighty 8mg, of codeine.. which according to what I've read metabolises to about 1 mg Morphine.
I took these about 3:30 pm, an hour or so before going out for a walk, in the hope of suffering less pain from walking.
No doubt they did the trick and I was soon not only able to walk with much less pain.. but also feeling pretty spacey. From memory, I felt more 'spacey', than I did when taking 30 mg straight codeine a couple of times a day for severe back pain a couple of years ago.. Very odd.
Now.. 10 or more hours later.. I still feel odd.. though given the approx 3 hours elimination half life of Codeine, there should be next to nothing left in my system.
And to cap it all, I now have a migraine 'aura' developing as I type.
Anybody?
