With naproxen you really must must must eat a solid meal before taking it and even then a lot of people get nauseated on it. Can't advise for just now though. It will pass.

That's what I should have done! Thanks waffly

Have you tried eating some bread or drinking milk aren't they supposed to line the stomach?.

The strong co-codamol, I think it's 30/500 makes me feel very nauseated. I've had to give it up. I had a lot of problems with naproxen when I first started it even with ranitidine cover but seem to be tolerating it better now. Could it be that you have a virus which is making you feel achey and unwell and it's not the analgesia that's causing it?

Are you on a stomach protector?

Antibiotics for UTI make me feel nauseous too... You have a great combo of nausea-inducing drugs there Brew

Take the omeprazole and have a small snack, maybe some toast.

ICantThinkOfAUsernameH · 11/08/2015 08:22

Hope you feel a bit better this morning.

Codeine does funny things to me - keeps me awake all night and makes me hallucinate, so I don't take it any more.

ICantThinkOfAUsernameH · 11/08/2015 09:53

Still feel rotten lilac thanks for asking though :)
Yeah I may try and change it I think

Take the omeprazole! Also, never take naproxen on an empty stomach. Food and omeprazole, wait 15/20 mins then the naproxen. Try it for a few days and see if it helps.
