Eva , it sounds like it could be your state of anxiety that is causing these random physical symptoms- I know from experience how being in a constant state of anxiety can affect your body – one thing is for sure that the withdrawal symptoms from codeine subside around the 2-4 mark so if they are still around after a month then it could be anxiety?

Chris, you mustn’t feel like you are cheating by tapering, believe you me I would not have gone cold turkey by choice but my partner found lots of empty packets of N+ in the house and I was confronted by him, at the time I was absolutely rocked to my core that my horrible secret had been discovered but with hindsight I am glad he confronted me – I wouldn’t recommend cold turkey as it is so incredibly rough on the mind and body and not everyone can do it – but i was held accountable by having my secret discovered and it spurred me on to kick this dirty habit for good. You are doing well by tapering , people don’t realise how hard it is – it was probably the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
