Hi everyone, hope all ok? Had a great day Tuesday, felt really good, even went for a walk during my lunch break the weather was so lovely. Learned my lesson from Monday, not taking regular painkillers etc. Was quite sore this morning, but soldiered on into work having taken 2 paracetemol at home with breakfast and then 2 4 hours later in work. About half and hour later felt really light headed and very nearly fainted in the middle of the office, much to my embarassment! Anyway, came home, looked at the paracetemol and realised they were with caffeine. I can only assume this was what caused my "turn" Has anyone else found this?

Gues what I wont be using again!!!

Have just ordered myself some eee shoes, am hoping they arrive soon and that my insoles aka flippers will fit inside and fix my very sore back!!

Cheers everyone!

Apparently they put the caffeine in because it makes the paracetamol work faster, that's why they are called "extra".
I always avoid the ones with caffeine in but it would be easy to pick them up by mistake.
Hope you've recovered now Heather!

I asked my brother in law who's a forensic scientist working with illegal drugs ........ he said the caffeine is added to paracetamol because it works better that way for headaches.
