Hi,if anyone is taking Solpadol,can they tell me if they had nausea when first starting on this pain killer.I started by taking two of the dissolving tablets but shortly after I had nausea and felt very hot. The Sopadol I am taking is 500mg paracetamol plus 30mg codeine.I am now taking just one tablet each time but it does not give the same pain relief as two.Perhaps the nausea wears off the longer you take the tablets. :?: Breane.

    Hi Breane

    Unfortunately nausea is one of the side effects of this med. If the nausea continues for a number of days I would get in touch with whoever prescribed them for you.

    Take care

    Yes that's common, most of the time when I've taken it I've felt "giddy" but as I've said before on here and I know it makes me sound like a weirdo, :lol: I like it. It takes me back a few years if you know what I mean. :wink: The more you take them though, the better they build up in your system and the sicky kind of feeling goes.

    Hi I am on similar tablets and find that if you take them after a meal you don't get that sickly feeling, mine say you can take them during or after a meal, so try that and see how you go, Hope it works for you, good luck. :) wendy57

    Hi
    I used to take them and managed to get used to them over time.
    Have lost my tolerance to them now though and HATE that nauseous feeling.
    Good luck

    Hi,
    I can tolerate codine, but I know a lot of people can't. I'd go back to the doctor who prescribed them, their are other pain killer that are strong but may not make you feel sick. :wink: Don't give up I'm sure you'll find the right medication. :) It may even be a virus, so when you feel better, if you can stand it, try it again. :shock: :wink: Good luck, feel better soon, Love Sue
