Hi all.
Been on this thread several times over the last couple of years as I’ve tried and failed to come off Codeine a number of times.
Today is day 4 (cold turkey) of attempt 5 and I’m determined to do it this time.
However, my usage seems quite different to most in that I have always taken one enormous dose a day, early evening. I happened across an extraction method I’m sure some of you know which meant I could take a lot of the ibuprofen out of Nurofen Plus. As a result, I finished on 66 tabs in one go every day.
So, I’m wondering if others have experience of this type of use and whether it is likely to affect withdrawal etc?
I’m telling myself I might have it easier as I wasn’t constantly topping up and, instead, my body has been slowly ‘coming off’ it every day.
So far, I’ve had loads of aches, terrible low mood, sweaty nights/hot flushes during day and lethargy/low energy. But, no restless legs, no stomach issues and only minor diarrhoea for the first time today…
Any advice or experience appreciated, and we’ll done to those of you fighting and winning against the horrible stuff.
