Shift addict, I really feel for you and understand completely. To help with the withdrawals you need to lower the dose slowly. They honestly only last around a week the symptoms and the physical side usually shifts. Have you got any annual leave? Iv chose this weekend to start my lower dose and to come off because I have 9 days off work so if the symptoms are bad I can be at home. I also do shift work for adults with mental health and I know what it’s like when you just want to get through it. I have also found I am far more irratble on the codeine than when I’m off it. If you need anyone to chat to I’m here. Trying lowering your dose for a few days and let your body adjust. Also keep imodium close by to help with the diareah that’s what I do. Good luck.
