Hi Katie!
>She said that she'd take a tablet, then about half an hour later she'd be feeling better in herself, and therefore she could cope with the pain easier. She said it gave her a boost.
Co-proxamol contains paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene. Dextropropoxyphene is a low-potency opioid. Some people find opioids euphoric. Morphine, codeine and heroin are common examples of opioids. Dextropropoxyphene is significantly more toxic than morphine, despite the fact that it is much less potent, this is the reason why it is being withdrawn from the market.
>Hope you are doing ok?
I'm not too bad thanks, most lectures have been ok so far. Thanks for asking.
