yeah.

I didnt get prescribed them for my teeth but had some old ones left from an old prescription. during the day I was taking paracetomal and ibrupofen rotated every 2 hours for the gum pain, and then just took a co-codamel before bed so it allowed me to sleep. so was one a day for 3 days. the 4th day the pain was down enough to not need any.

co-codamel made me very tired and also feel sick.

I have also had other painkillers which I was on for months but apparently can cause heart issues if used too much, my own GP just kept giving me repeat prescriptions yet my parent's GP went mad I was on so long and wrote a letter to my GP.
