Hi Me12you21,

You’re doing so well! Around Day 3 is usually when the stomach upset starts. Make sure and stay well hydrated!

That lack of motivation takes awhile to go. Your brain is used to codeine triggering the release of endorphins so it’s learning how to do this again for itself. Light exercise etc can really help get those going and give you a little energy.

Ruby, day 5. Well done!! The sleep takes awhile to settle but you’ll get there x
