You need to with a heart problem. It is not enough to reduce the cigarettes, you need to quit it completely. Codeine addiction is worsened by increasing tolerance levels for the drug. If you are having a serious addiction and you cannot quit its use, you will have to admit yourself to a rehabilitation center and go through their program for a complete recovery. This type of treatment is ideal because it takes you away from the influences of people and circumstances that you have gotten condition...more

Hi
it's really difficult to get rid of poly substance use, so I praise your courage to come out of it and leading a sober life. On the other side, it's pertinent for you to understand that substance use disorder is a chronic relapsing illness so the efforts to sustain sobriety should be persistent as it's a long jouney to cope up and tackle "protracted withdrawal" symptoms and craving which gradually weans off with time and might take 6 months to an year to resolve completely. It's in your b...more

Sir for ibs, there has been a lot of literature with regards to this and in association with stress and with use of pre-pro biotics.
Please consult with your doctor / psychiatrists about regular use of sertraline or mirtazepine which is shown to be beneficial in ibs along with use of pre and pro biotic compounds.

Hi, I need to get something off my mind so I thought you could help me. A while ago I donated blood in the morning after having taken a painkiller the night before. The painkiller contained 250 mg of paracetamol and 10 mg of codeine. I told the doctor I had taken it, but I said I had taken it 3 days earlier since I didn't want to get rejected and I thought that, because of substance dilution in the blood, the fact that at least three or even four elimination half-lives had passed, the amount of medication present in the donated blood was negligible. I thought this because I am a pretty large guy, I am 25, I am roughly 6 feet tall (183 cm) and I have roughly 202 pound (92 kg-93 kg). Consequently I thought that, since I probably have around 5700 ml of blood and blood donation is only 450 ml, that the substance would be more than diluted in my body. The doctor wrote down that there could still be some paracetamol present in my blood and she let me donate. Nonetheless, I am now really worried that because of my stupidity and recklessness, my blood might have hurt someone. My biggest concern is that, the amount of codeine that was still present in my blood, as tiny as it might have been, might have interfered with the platelet function in my blood and that these "broken" platelets may have hurt someone in some way. I am not sure if this is true, but I did read that codeine has this effect. Is there any reason for me to worry? Thanks in advance.

No worries. Don't panic. Paracetamol plain is safe. It doesn't have side effects as such broken platelets & all.
