i was on 8/500 cocodamol (8 a day) for three years until hip replacement eight weeks ago.
Pain down to virtually nil five weeks ago so I stopped Cocodamol.
Only take an occasional paracetamol or ibuprofen if leg aches now.
However I have had this cold feeling in lower back and chest since stopping cocodamol.
Is this a withdrawal symptom? How long till it goes away?
yes it does sound like withdrawals but your quite lucky there so mild , im sure after a few weeks that should pass hun , im no doctor so cant say 100% , my withdrawals with really severe , im back on co codamols 8 a day due to pain as theres nothing else i can take sue to allergies so back to the start for me ill have to wean off them next time , the dr said no one should ever just stop them if you have been on them a long time due to the withdrawals , good luck hope you soon feel better and glad your pain free x
Thanks for that Debs.
I did meet a lady who had two hip replacements and eventually came off cocodamol by gradual reduction with gradual shift to paracetamol.
Hope that all goes well for you
thank you love good luck xxx
Hi Norman
Yeah it is withdrawals by the sounds of it normally the physical symptoms would wear off after a few days but I would advise speaking to your GP.
