> OK, maybe I posted an excessive amount of information LOL. I'm supposed to be studying for my exams but I got stressed out and decided to ESCAPE on p-babble! I nearly wrote more but I had to force myself to stop........

> Ed.LOL It was a little excessive, but very interesting information Ed and a great read! : )
If I paid a privite doctor he probably wouldn't give me so much information on codeine!..Many thanks Ed, greatly appreciated.
The relaxed *buzz* from the codeine has now wore off and I must admit at first it felt good but then I just felt kinda thick you know?!
Hmmm..I think it'd be a wise move for me to avoid the use of any codedine for my headaches, I could end up using it forgeting it was for the headaches and get carried away with the need for that relaxed *buzz* : /..not a good thing!
However I did find it helped relieve the headache, but only because I was distracted by the relaxion it produced.
I have always had headaches..(sometimes migraines but not so much lately) and over he past years have had the most relief from ibuprofen, ingeneral ive found paracetamol useless. What with the kidney pains from Trileptal and reading about the long-term damage ibuprofen can cause, I think maybe its time I tried something new for my headaches as I dont want to damage my kidneys at the young age of 22!
You mention sumatriptan, I've heard about the triptans and that they work on serotonin? Any problems with bipolar and the triptans because of this serotonin action?
Kind regards
Nick
Ps Write as little or as much as you like LOL..Don't let me distract you too much from your studying though!
