TEMGESIC Painkillers - what are they like?

[fritata]

Ive ben perscribed these as a stand by as Ive been getting severe abdominal pain most months.

Do they make you sleepy or knock you out? Just that I have my ds to look after and am not sure if they are too strong - what do you think?

I think, IIRC, they are synthetic opiate type drugs - they do make you sleepy/spaced out. I was given them as pain relief after having all four wisdom teeth out under general anaesthetic.

tbh, I would use them only in the evening, before bed/during night, unless you're in extreme pain...but maybe you've been given a very low dose??

Ive been told to take one or two if I need them
