Can Ibuprofen And Codeine Be Taken For Headache And Back Pain?

Hello, I have been taking lithium carbonate for years but since 2011 have been taking 900mg of lithium slow release. I also take sodium valproate 400mg for bipolar disorder and 150mg Venlafaxine. Can I safely take ibuprofen plus codeine for bad headaches and back pain? Thank you Di
