am I addicted to Syndol ?

[angelamirela67]

I have been suffering with headaches and migrains most of my life ,a few years ago I had been introduced to Syndol by a pharmacist and found great relieved when I started to use it, it was like 2 tablets once a week, I never new you can become addicted to it ,slowly my headaches become more and more often but I only take them when I can get in bed because they make me very drowsy,I sleep and allways wake up pain free which is heaven. My family were allways very concern because the amount of headaches I was getting and after a research online ,realised I might be addicted to it and started to consider not taking it any more .Last weekend I started to have very serious tooth ache, over the weekend become so bad that I reached for my old friend Syndol and worked, but the effect worn out to soon that I started to take 2 tablets at every 4 hours or sometimes less,because the aggressivityof the pain. Monday visit to dentist and given antibiotics the pain in my tooth slowed down, unfortunately by evening my headaches returned with vengeance and 2 Syndols like before ,does not work any more. I am sat here with massive headache not knowing what to do, refusing to take more Syndol, but asking myself what am I going to do ,because I am working full time and can't take time off ,but when I get headaches ,if I don't take Syndol I feel really bad ,can't stand the light and end up being sick. I have mentioned this to my GP many times ,but the answer I got was that is stress and slowly they will go away ,they never did.

From what I read about this med its main ingredient is codeine so yes you could become addicted to it. Codeine is one of the weakest form of opiate pain meds but still addictive and can cause withdrawal symptoms like any other opiate just not as severe as withdrawal from oxy opana and the stronger meds like that. But of you feel like you are becoming addicted to the meds now is a good time to get a handle in it before you end up moving n the the stronger opiates.

Good Luck and Godspeed
