Hi Sophie! 6 week codeine free lady here !mum of 3 and let me tell you if I can do it you can too. You have to want to stop them with all your being and you have to imagine a better life for yourself. You can do it! Dihydrocideine was my preferred pill of choice too but the mere thought of them now makes me wince. Just stop them – rid yourself of the poison. I promise after 3 days you will start to feel better -accept the withdrawal and allow it to pass through you. You will need Imodium, plenty drinks with electrolytes , a good multivitamin and either Nytol or prescribed diazepam. 3 nights of 5 mg diazepam from my trusted friend helped me immensely. More importantly please do not beat yourself up – feelings like these will drive you back to the drug. Instead try to work out why you feel you need these drugs to live your life and feel good. Imagine a life and a future free of these tablets. That’s what I did and I’m so happy. I feel no guilt toward myself or my ‘addiction ‘ it’s all gone – past tense. I’m thinking of you and sending love your way. You can do this xx
