To wonder how to get prescribed painkillers

[Jellyjumpers]

I have been in pain for months with what the gp thinks is ibs and I think is a return of endometriosis. While a&e gave me cocodamol when I was previously sent by the ooh I have not been able to get painkillers from my gp. The gp is arguing I should take antispasmodics and herbal tea. However, I am struggling to sleep with pain can not get an emergency gp appointment and have fainted and been sick with pain.

Wondering how people have managed to get pain reliefc and if this is acceptable.

Feeling a bit frustrated that i wont get the painkillers before monday. While a prescription has gone into my pharmacy this wont be available before monday. Wishing i was in amitryptiline sleep rather than awake in pain.

For anyone who has found that codiene doesnt help them, there are some people. I know because I am one.

Apologies the link is from the DM but here it is -

Codeine does absolutely nothing to me. It explains why I have had so many problems with taking other medications as I have a list of what happened with each one a mile long.

Providing this for info for others who may be struggling along

I am really frustrated went to collect the medication late from the pharmacy and the gp had not sent the prescription to the pharmacy. I was not able to sort out the issue as a I went after the gp had closed.

Hopefully I will get the medication tomorrow. I was hoping to use the holiday to yet used to amitriptilyne. Can anyone who takes it let be know how long it takes to not want to sleep all day?.
