have got a bit of manflu and have been taking beechams flu capsules for a couple of days, have been feeling better today and the wench says i should be still taking them, but beig friday night i thought *****cks and got meself 6 stella, she says it will be ok to still take but ie never mixed tabs with booze and never will

 

haqve any of you's ever done it, what effects have you had if any, im too scaared of dying some terrible death if i mix them lol, not that i ever will

 

may only be a hooge dose of hay fever lol

I am on parocetemol all the time at least 12 per day , and two nurofen twice a day , for me neck ,and i still have a coulple or three/ whiskys at night , not done me any harm or coused any side afects !

hmmmm, still wont take them though, although after a skinfull i will take a few ibuprofen in the morn lol

Ive been on them for a coulple of yrs now ,dont want the op on me neck !

accidentally ram raided an Argos with my head when I'd being drinking but forgot about my anti depressants! Was black and blue and numb down one side next morning, great night out tho :rofl::rofl:

I could do with some anti depressants,for when i see my inlaw in the morning to get my money back and make his head black and blue. lol

cant b worse than drinking and taking drugs....(u know what sort i mean) lol

I recently had antibiotics which said not to drink until at least 48 hours after the course was finnished, kind of forgot that last bit and had a few pints at a birthday party. NOT good, hate to think the nick I would have been in if I had drank while actually taking them.

 

ATLAST have you discussed with your DR the ammount of paracetamol you are taking, I've been on prescription co-codamol for about 6 years now and the big issue has always been not taking more than 4000mg of paracetamol in a 24 hour period.

 

I think the best advice stellaz is to read the lable in the meds, if there is an issue with alcohol it will say. If it does give advice to avoid alcohol believe it and don't take risks.

 

God when did I suddenly become a sad grown up.......I'll get my coat.

not a prob gabriel, i just wanted to know if anyone else had took flu medication and drunk i never have and never will as i think it may cause me harm

 

my doc told me once that the only antibiotic you cant drink with is so strong you wont feel like drinking anyway lol

 

all booze does to normal antibiotics apperently is stop them from working

the stuff i was taking was from the dentist, when he gave me it he said dont drink when you take it.

 

Went to the chemist and when she handed over the bag she said don't drink when taking these.

 

Got home opened the bag and there was a note in the bag which said AVOID ALCHOHOL.

 

Talk about getting a point across.

 

Anyway made the comment to my sister inlaw who is a Dr and she said that they prescribe this stuff to alcoholics to try to get them to stop drinking as the reaction to alcohol is so violent that you simply couldn't drink if you were taking them.

pmsl, they are the ones lol

tell you I wasn't laughing :-(

Me top two discs are disintergrating ,ie not much left, so the nervs are trapped , so i take them to help the pain , not had any side afects as yet , have to have the op soon i guess !

Feel your pain ATLAST, they described my back as multi level disk degridation. Basically the bottom 3 disks in my back are worn out and don't do there job properly. And the best bit is its inoperable as there is nothing to fix.

 

When I got the first MRI scan it was funny to see the image of my spine, all of the disks show up as a light colour except the bottom 3 which were black. Thinking back it wasn't actually that funny. :-(

 

Have you tried Tramadol, need to get from the Doc. It will take the pain away from everything from your hair down but can really impair your ability to do stuff like drive etc, I save mine for when its really bad and just take them and go lie down.

 

Back on topic for everyone else if you do take these or the co-codimol really dont drink.
