Answer 1

Co-codamol is a combination analgesic (painkiller) made up of codeine phosphate and paracetamol (acetaminophen).  You should be safe as long as you do not take them all at the same time.  The recommended dosage is no more than two tablets at one time every 4 hours not to exceed 8 tablets in a 24 hour period.  With this in mind and taking only two at a time, then yes, you could take 6 in a day.  You should also avoid any other medications containing paracetamol and do not drink alcohol while taking this medication.  There is a large chance of liver toxicity if more than 4000mg (4 grams) of paracetamol is ingested in a 24 hour period or if alcohol is consumed with paracetamol.

The symptoms would be the same as you have experienced so far but may be more exaggerated.

FYI - the correct spelling is Panadeine Forte.  I am assuming you are in Australia?  The brand name for that medication in the US is Tylenol with Codeine #1, #2 or #3.
