Hi I’m new here been on codiene a year and half ! . Taking 2 30mg x3 a day I stopped on them on Sunday so 2 days ago . I don’t feel like I need them so I don’t belive I’m addicted however since stopping completely I’m having really bad lower back and leg pain I don’t know if this is withdrawal or if this is the pain they’ve masked for so long from my epidural .. can any 1 tell me how long the leg and back pain lasts if it is withdrawal its driving me nuts . . And is there any alternative to codiene what don’t get addictive I suffer with endometriosis thankyou
