Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hi im at work so im sorry this is short but my mom had very bad reactions to it early on before we even knew what lbd was...i would say definately a no no drug...huge hugs...ron Question about Tylenol w/Codeine Hello all, Does anyone know if Tylenol w/Codeine is tolerable for Lewy Body Dementia patients? My Mom's ORTHO dr. told me the other day that Ultram is not a recommended pain med for broken body parts, arm, etc. As it demotes healing. He said by looking at my Mom's exrays on her broken arm (which is healing after 2 months now and she is able to move it some now, but still in constant pain), he said the Ultram hasn't affected her healing process. But he said if she could tolerate Tylenol w/Codeine Or Loratab he would prefer those 2. But he said since she is healing properly then to not take a chance of switching pain med's she could stay on the Ultram possibly if she continues to heal. He also said with the broken arm, it will never be like the other arm or how it was before, and she could live with CHRONIC PAIN for the rest of her life. Thank you all and God bless to each and everyone of you! in Texas Reply to sender | [The entire original message is not included] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 , I have used Ultrum myself and it doesn't put me to sleep like Codeine does. I only use a pill at night but doesn't make me dizzy for foggy or anything. I have used it before I had knees replaced for the pain. I don't know how much she uses, but I would pick it over Codeine anytime. That is just my personal experience. Hugs, Donna R Cared for Mom 3 years in my home and the last year at a nh. She passed away from LBD in 2002. Question about Tylenol w/Codeine Hello all, Does anyone know if Tylenol w/Codeine is tolerable for Lewy Body Dementia patients?

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I did take it with food. I think that the last one that I took was the ULTRAM that was timed release. I took it with something at bedtime and the stomach problems were during the day. Not sure why, except that I have been on so many meds that my stomach is probably quicker to respond to something that can cause stomach irritation. I asked my pain mgmt doc for a prescription for Protonix, but she declined because she said that the stomach burning was a sign of an ulcer so she changed my meds to Kadian. I take the Kadian at noon and midnight and I didn't have any problem. > > > > , > > > > I have used Ultrum myself and it doesn't put me to sleep like Codeine does.
