Hi all,
I’m worried and would please like some advice…
This is the first time I’m telling anyone…. I was taking codeine for about 2 years – between 400 – 650 mg per day. On the odd occasion it was more.
In November 2018 I quit cold turkey – it was hard but I got through it. All of the side effects you have mentioned. Last week I bought a new packet and took around 3-4 tablets per day for 5 days but have stopped again as I realised the reason I stopped and actually that it doesn’t make me feel good at all.
I’m not extremely worried about long term side effects and whether I’m going to be ok in the long run. I get nervous about respiratory issues – do you think this is something that could develop?? Or would I have known If I had this? I don’t know if I make sense but I would be so grateful if someone could help or even provide some reassurance…
Thank you so much
