Kim, I'm still getting slight headaches, but nothing that has driven me to take panadeine or even panadol for a while. Make a huge effort to drink heaps of water and things do get better - don't drink it all in one hit, though. I keep a bottle with me all day and sip constantly, and it's very easy for me to get through a 600mL bottle twice in a day without thinking about it too much and without feeling like I'm sloshing from all the water I've drunk. Those are very weird questions to be asking, though. Perhaps if you are getting withdrawal headaches from the codeine, try switching back to straight paracetamol. I've had to take quite a lot of panadeine over the years, and I've never had a withdrawal headache from them, but that's not to say it can't happen.

Summer, I hope you recover quickly. I'm going to give you the same advice as Kim - drink lots of water! Sip slowly and you'll feel heaps better soon.

sazzafrazz, aspirin isn't on the allowed list of drugs to take for pain relief. Judging from my doctor's response to the naprosyn, that would also rule out ibuprofen too. It's so damned difficult! I'm now too scared to take anything for my hayfever as I keep forgetting to ask what's ok and what's not.

Two hot cross buns and I'm starting to feel a lot better. Unfortunately, it's making the carb-craving monster within stir a bit, and I think I should stop before I go too far. The cure for everything - water! - will certainly help out there, too.
