dihydrocodeine

by Len, Feb 04, 2000 12:00AM
I suffer from restless legs syndrome and need to take pain killers to get any sleep.

the trouble is I can only get any sleep if I take 4 dihydrocodeins at once, also another 2 at about 6am.

Sometimes I need a sleep in the afteroon and I cannot get to sleep without 2 pills.

I am 57 years old.

The trouble is I seem to be taking more for them to do any good.

Is there any danger to my health taking this many and also for a prolonged ammount of time as nothing else seems to do any good.
