Hi,
For two substantially herniated discs I have previosly been taking : co-codamol, diclofenic, tramadol, slow release tramadol, paracetamol, ibruprofen, naproxen and diazepam, along with omeprazole to combat the stomach side effects and senna to combat the constipation.
I was then put on the 25mg patches as things were not improving, but then was in a car accident so am on the 50mg patches, while still taking naproxen and paracetamol.
This is by far the worst side effects I have had from any of the above. I constantly feel ready to throw up and not quite 'with it'. I took my first patch off after three days just before driving for about three hours, so didn't have a patch on, but was still taking naproxen and paracetamol. I feel fine driving and have good concentration, but I was getting increasingly frustrated at bad driving from others and found myself starting to get aggressive. When I got home I was feverish and anxious, so put another patch on. That settled me down, so I think I was withdrawing, but I am still feeling very nauseous. That is the worst thing really, I don't really find myself suffering too much from the other common side effects.
One thing that a lot of people have noticed in me though is a tendancy to talk far too much. Once I start, there's no stopping me. (Same with typing really, as you can see!) Also, my short term memory has become very, very bad! I can watch a film one day, then a few days later not have a clue that I have watched it! Anyone else?
