Hi all. I’ve been reading all your post so well done to everyone.

I have been addicted to codeine for about 6 years following a back injury. I have been contesting going cold turkey but I am scared. I’ve hidden my addiction from everyone. When I run out of my codeine prescription I start taking a whole box of nurofen us a day, sometimes more.

I am spending a huge amount on this stupid addiction.

I am considering going cold turkey but I dont know how I will handle the withdrawal. What can I do to try and limit the withdrawal effects?

I dont want to be taking all these tablets everyday.
