Painkillers

[TAC]

OK, last stupid non-200sx post for tonight :)

I have a bad back...not helped by being in the car for 6½ hrs total yesterday, then sitting in this chair tonight lol. Just got up to get another drink and could barely walk downstairs lol. (Cos of the pain, not the drink ;) ) Soo...I've been drinking. I vaguely remember that you shouldn't take painkillers on top of alcohol...am I going to kill myself if I take my fave paracemtamol/codeine/muscle relaxant mix?? Don't want to overload my liver ... at least, not with non-alcoholic products lol.

Lemme know what you experts think...I'll go into my comfortable chair and try to fix my back :rolleyes: then come back to see what the verdict is :D

its generally not a good idea to take pills with alcohol because you can have some really nasty reactions!

and because alcohol actually numbs (for want of a better word) the receptors that the painkillers link to and help to ease ur pain taking the two of them together doesnt generally work either...... unless you like feeling woosy and spaced out (not in a mellow stoned manner unfortunately ;) )

so, all in all, not a good idea me thinks

(listen to biology boy over here lol :rolleyes: )

Anything with coedine is a nono and potentially quite dangerous. Paracetemol gets you pissed quicker, but fvcks your liver.
Best stuff is Iboprofen - like nurofen or sommat - its safe with alcohol, and it works best on muscle pain - which is what back pain is.

Heh, momentarily back - was emailing a friend :) OK, sounds like ibuprofen and a hot water bottle are in order :D Cheers guys :D

(...And a day off work tomorrow ;):D )

nurofen and alcohol are ok
as are anadine i've found
even dihydrocodeine and booze seems to go don ok... but i used to that sh!t lol

Nah, natural painkillers are the only way to go ;)

Bushmills Whisky is the only Painkiller worth taking :D
