I decided to take a Tylenol 3 yesterday because standing for 10 hours was making my feet hurt. I took one and my pain didn't really go away. Now I know why. It's because the Prozac I take prevents codeine from turning into morphine in my body! Aw man, that sucks. I just wasted a Tylenol 3. Now I just have 2.
I wonder if the same happens with morphine?
Maybe it's time to wean myself off these meds. Aw man, it takes like a week for Prozac to leave the body and I was looking forward to taking a Tylenol 3 on Monday.
I guess I'll just have to stick with ibuprofen.

A new thought just crossed my mind. I'm not a doctor or pharmacist. I know squat about drug interactions. Maybe I should lay off of the experimentation lest something bad were to happen.

Codeine is useless anyway.
IMO of course.

Does codeine turn into morphine in one's body? This is news to moi.
I think that ibuprofen (sp?) sometimes works better for certain types of pain because it deals not only with the pain, but with the inflammation that can contribute to the pain.
I'm sorry you were so uncomfortable - that's a LOT of hours!! 10!
hugs, Kath
