Well done for resisting the temptation today! That’s amazing!

Naproxen can definitely be harsh on the stomach so that might explain your reaction to it.

I’d definitely keep trying with the GP for sleeping tablets ( just for a few days) and something for anxiety for awhile then. Maggie has experience with that so her

recommendations are great!

Sleep will definitely help you a lot. It’s hard to recover when you can’t sleep. And anxiety and depression is so common with withdrawals, you need help when you’re suffering so much. I promise codeine isn’t the answer.

You can do this. You’re determined and motivated. You’ve come so far. I’m here to chat x
