I can't take Aspirin as it kills my guts, Co-Codamol constipates me and Ibuprofen is not as harsh on my stomach as the Aspirin but is not advised when taking Lithium.
Is there anything else that I can take? Is Ponstan going to upset my guts too?
I am sure that I would feel much better if I stopped the Lithium but ......... maybe not a great idea.
My Lithium levels are always at the middle of the range - if not lower.
I will give Ibuprofen a trial run and see how it goes.
I am not in the right frame of mind to go see the doctor - he might discover that I have not seen the Consultant Psychiatrist for a 'while' and make me go.
well you have gone thro the main classes of pain killers.
I wonder if you have maximised my clear favourite - paracetamol.
It is possible that you are getting 'breakthru' pain as you are only taking it at timesof pain.
in which case you could try a simple trial of regular paracetamol, Ig every six hours if you are normal sizd (70kg)
