Taking Duromine. Suggested To Lose Weight. Taking Codiene. No Proper Sleep. How Can I Get Sleep Without Medications?
Question: I started taking duromine 30mg as my spine is twisted from an injury and my doc wants me to lose weight. I have been taking codiene in the form of panadiene extra- is this ok? Also I cant sleep much and thats ok but I work n last night had to take 3 codienes as I only got 3 hours of sleep then went to work again and I am fine but I feel not tired at all- How can I sleep with out taking so much codiene?? Thx !
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Panadiene Extra (Codeine + Paracetamol), does not have any reported drug interactions with Duromine (Phentermine). Hence, is safe.
Insomnia is a well known side effect of Codeine medication, and dose range varies from 30 to 60 mg over 4-6 hours for adequate pain relief in adults. Probably try taking fewer pills of Codeine containing medication to achieve good sleep cycle like 1 or maximum 2 per day. But then, pain relief would have to be reviewed.
Let me know if I have missed out any other concern in your question.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
