Managing Pain

We can help you with:

• finding ways to manage your pain
• reducing your dose of pain medication, if that’s what you need

Medications that should be reviewed

Studies have shown that some medications should only be used for a short time. This is because they can become less effective over time or may cause problems of their own.

These include:

• opioids – morphine-based painkillers such as codeine, tramadol, oxycodone
• benzodiazepines
• sleeping tablets, for example Zopiclone
• gabapentin
• pregabalin
