You will definitely get there Dotty. It just takes a while for the brain to make its own endorphins after being flooded by Codeine. Codeine gives such a massive rush of dopamine that the brain feels it doesn’t need to make its own neurochemicals for a while and that’s why we feel so rubbish. However, like the liver, the brain does regenerate its good hormones but it does take a bit of time. Waiting is painful but that’s what we must do. The other thing you might be able to try to boost your own endorphins is light exercise if you can. Even going for a walk outside helps or spending some time in nature. Its a process and we have to be patient. Something that I and probably most of us lack 🙂 xx
