Hi,

Have been looking through this thread for the last few days unsure whether the say anything or not, as my problems seem very insignificant.

Been taking Cocodomol 30/500 for the past 7 weeks due to sciatica. Was originally prescribed Amitripyline but refused to take, as I have health anxiety, especially around taking pills I’ve never taken before. Wish I had just taken that now, as getting through the first night without dying would have been all I needed to feel they were ok to take.

At the start I was taking 6/7 tabs a day, that went down to 2 and last 2 days I’ve had none. My issue is I started googling and seen withdrawal symptoms, and it scared me! I will never take another one but don’t know if I have withdrawals or not or is it my mind playing tricks. Have a runny nose. Stomach is bad but more likely from anxiety I think.

My problems definitely pale when reading through this thread. Can’t believe how strong yous all are after years of using codeine.

TIA
