I was on codeine a bit longer than you about five months but I reduced the amount I was taking gradually. I used to feel sick a lot in the first few months but thankfully wasn't physically sick. My vision was also affected and that is probably what makes you feel sick, dizzy and faint. I also found that being on my feet for to long used to make me feel dizzy and faint.

I think you learn in time that your body is telling you it needs to rest and the only way it can do it is by giving you physical stop signs.

Hope you start to feel a bit better soon.

Hi Donna

I agree with Janet, the only difference i was on paracetamol and ibrufen [spelling].

Listen to your body and rest up, you are doing so well

Hi Donna it is probably your vision that is causing it however pop along to your drs and get them to check your ears cause I went to the drs because I kept hearing clicking noises and feeling dizzy ear infections thats what it was yet I wasn't in any pain with my ears but I kept getting them for a while after.

Hi Donna

My mum had a SAH May this year - came out of hospital 10 days ago and feeling or being sick has been a constant problem with her despite anti sickness tablets (even when she was in hospital it was the same then). I now have managed to get the tablet she was taking whilst in hospital - it is called Ondanestron which is used for chemo or after sugery. She has stopped being sick but still feels it. It seems a common problem but can imagine how you are feeling as I know mum feels so rotten and it's something you could do without. (have also been told by home care that ginger biscuits and ginger beer is good too) - mum said the biscuit seemed to help

Take Care

Lemon and Ginger tea with no milk is good too you can buy teabags.

Also flat lemonade helps

Hi everyone

Yep, me too: ginger biscuits and a cup of tea or a glass of dry ginger ale always seems to sort me out. Other reason for feeling nauseous with me is my liver so I drink a glass of tonic water with some lemon in it.
