Nurofen plus help.

[Yellowtrain1]

Hi everyone, for nearly 4 years now I have been taking between 2 & 6 nurofen plus a day. I really really want to kick this habit. I’m so worried about what it’s doing to my body. Can anyone help?

Do you take them for pain or is it just a habit?

It started as pain & now it’s habit. I feel awful if I don’t take them. Headaches body aches and really snappy with everyone. I went to the pharmacy today and asked for soluable solpadine which is 8mg of codine per tablet. As opposed to I think 12.5 in the nurofen plus. I also hate taking soluable things so I’m hoping this will help me wean

When you take painkillers a lot and you try to come off them, u get rebound headaches and pain. Once u start weaning off they should go. Try taking painkillers without the codeine in

Try phoning the manufacturer for advice? They will know what your plan to get off them should be

I had paracetamol withdrawal headaches after a long stint of migraines. Stopping the paracetamol created worse headaches than the migraines.
First and foremost, I think you should raise your concerns with your GP. Wishing you the best
