Ouch. Anybody have any suggestions on this? This is for codein 60mg, no APAP.

Maybe I'm stating the obvious but try taking it after a meal. I've personally had the same problem with meds before and a glass of milk worked well for me.

Yeah I always take it after a meal, I took it right after dinner this evening and a pretty darn uncomfortable pain in still rumbling around 5 hours later. I traded one pain for another.
It's weird because I can handle asprin and other highly acidic foods with no trouble at all, really no other med does this to my stomach.

It is possible that this is a, I think its called hypercodone reaction...not fun, it was described by a doc to me as something to be aware of and why some people can't take high dose codeine. And high dose definitions vary person to person. It is something I would ask my doctor about if possible, otherwise a pharmacist might have some good ideas, they frequently do. I do remember after surgery as a teenager not being able to take enough meds to control the pain without my stomach hurting so bad I wanted to die. They ended up trying like fifteen different things, but even now if I go up to percocet, much less oxycontin, I have the same reaction.

Yeah it sounds like the cure is worse than the disease, so to speak. Do you always have this problem with this med? If not it could be what you ate for dinner. Doubtful, but maybe.

I can't speak for habilis about whether this is actual pain or more an unsettling nauseating feeling, but I think I know what he/she is talking about, and it isn't nausea. Whenever I've taken T3's of T4's, I get an acute ache in my belly. Actually, it's almost like a very mild burning sensation in one specific area. I can't say what the area is, but I'm just trying to say that the burning sensation isn't all over my stomach, it feels as though it is stemming from an small localized spot. I think that the only thing, that works for me, is to eat before or after taking the pills. Food can dilute the initial effectiveness of some medicines, because absorbtion is longer and more drawn out rather than all in one shot, but I don't think it detracts from the actual pain-killing properties. So if it is only this pain you're trying to remedy, and you don't care if you can get any kind of sensation such as euphoria or a similar feeling, then just eat some food with the Codeine.

Codeine does the same thing to me and it isn't nausea, it's pain. Even when I take it after a meal, it still hurts, but not as much.

It's definately not nausea, dmg has the right idea, it's more of a burning cramping that's in a single spot that can move around slightly.
This pain doesn't happen with hydro, but hydro doesn't work for me as good as codein.
