Hi Rosiegold
Thanks so much for your reply, it really helps not feeling alone.
I’m doing well with my taper, I drop every Wednesday and will go to 8 in 2 days time, I can’t wait.
I’ve lost so much through codeine, but I can already feel myself coming back, I have energy and motivation again so I’m really excited at how I’ll feel in a couple of weeks when I’m at 0.
I’m so impressed you went cold turkey, you are very strong. I’ve only experienced withdrawal at the start of my taper when I tried to go too fast but I just couldn’t handle the restless legs at night, it just completely broke me. Now I’m tapering at a sensible pace I’m not feeling any withdrawal which seems best for me.
Thanks again for sharing, it’s so inspiring to know others have made it through and makes me all the more determined.
I’ve enough nurofen plus at home to finish my taper and I can’t explain how lovely it is to know I’ll never have to spend time driving round trying to find a pharmacy I haven’t been to recently. I don’t know what changed this time but I haven’t cheated once and I know I’ll do it.
Thanks again x
