Info on Codeine liquid..?

Question

My tonsils grew back after having them removed a few years ago so I had them removed again last week along with my lingual tonsils.. they prescribed me Acetaminophen/Codeine liquid. I hate taking this stuff because it taste horrible and makes my stomach feel icky but anyway.. I've been experiencing, well, almost hallucinations. I body feels sort of shaky all over and my stomach feels horrible but the worst part is when I'm laying down, even when I'm not asleep I see stuff or hear stuff and even talk and then all the sudden I come too and I realize I was "dreaming" or whatever. Has anyone else experienced this before? I can't stop taking the meds or I am in extreme pain but I don't like taking it because of this.. any suggestions??

Answer 1

Yep, that's what it does, that's why you're only supposed to use it in extreme cases.

Answer 2

Call your doctor & tell him whats going on.  He can prescribe you a different pain medicine in liquid form or he may just need to adjust the dose down, you may just need a smaller dose to help with the pain & stop the weird stuff.    Hope you feel better soon
