   I have been on Co proxamol for 11 years and My GP has now taken me off them and given me Co Codamol instead. I am at my wits end now. The Co Codamol do nothing for me, My GP upped the dose but they constipate me something terrible. I have been looking everywhere for a supply of Co Proxamol to no avail.

   [b:a89892db3e]I'm the same, I've tried Co Drydamol, with constipation then Dyhydrocoeine with the same results. I hate this, I was doing ok on Co Proxamol, now this has changed my life.[/b:a89892db3e]

   HI. I just got my co-proxamol back after 3 years, you tell not ask your doctor that you have tried all other alternatives and ask your doctor can you have them on a named patient basis and also if you mother has been deppressed you can use that as a reason and book an appointment to see a cpn nurse who will help you. Trust me if you keep going to your doctor weekly and demand you be put on the named patient basis you will get them. Also boots supply them and also other chemists have them but they act very shifty until you wave the prescription under thier nose. also if they dont have them in stock they can order you some. Hope this helps. But you need to keep asking and dont take no for an answer as you are entitled to them legally.

   Goodluck. Paul
