Hello,
For the last 7 or 8 years I've been taking over the counter co-codamol (Solpadiene Plus) almost every day relentlessly.
Each day I would take the maximum recommended dose (8 tablets, 500mg paracetamol, 8mg Codiene). Sometimes I may have exceeded these number but not often or by more than. 2 extra tablets a day.
At first I took them because of bad migraine like headaches but in the last while I've only been taking them out of habit, obviously some form of addiction.
This week I decided to stop taking them, which I've been able to do so far. I've not suffered any of the withdrawal type symptoms that people often mention.
What I want to find out is if I've done any lasting damage to my body after being so stupid, and if there's anything I can do to try and reverse any damage that has been done?
Thanks in advance,
BP
