codeine

[joko]

does codeine affect your alertness and concentration?

i don't mean make you tired, but make your mental capacity temporarily lessened, sort of blank or foggy headed?

can it affect driving?

thanks

[joko]

i mean at dosage levels of over the counter cocodamol

Hi joko yes i think it could but don't worry it is just like any other side effect, i would take care when driving be careful sweetheart love megan

I was prescribed codeine after a car accident I had 5 years ago.

It certainly made me a bit foggy headed, so I wasn't on it for long.

[ummmm]

You're not thinking of parking in parent and child places are you?

no umm i was trying to see if i could claim temporary disability... and go for the disabled bays, lol

[joko]

no i just feel sometimes that i am not as'on the ball' or 'with it' when i have taken some - not majorly just a bit.

i feel a bit blank, like i have 'zoned out' - again not completely, just slightly, but just concerned that it could affect my driving....like i am looking at the road and going through all the motions but its not registering fully.
i am a new driver so although I have driven many hours and miles and am still a novice and don't want anything to affect me.

bizarrely i have also noticed that when the effects wear off i want to start tidying and sorting (which i hate doing usually)

i take quite a bit of cocodamol as i have hypermobility

I used to take codeine, and then one day something traumatic happened while I was driv

Hi joko,
As a Train Driver, I am not allowed to take Codeine, as it really can make you drowsy, also, on a drugs test, it shows up positive, thats also, all drugs that begin with 'Co'.

Wonder exactly, what they put in it.

Yes joko,it can make you feel a bit foggy headed I have heard.
I cant take it at all as it makes me collapse completely.
