Hi Radray, well done on getting so far. I haven’t experience poly drug withdrawal myself but I know it is really hard. I know that opiate withdrawal causes restless legs and a feeling of crawling skin. that will pass soon.

The diazepam, I know from people who have come off it, is the hardest one but it is really important to get off it as it only increases your anxiety in the long term. You will feel very anxious for a while but it will pass and you will feel a lot better. I am really glad you have stopped the co codomol as the amount you were taking could have damaged your liver if you hadn’t stopped. Well done and sending strength to you xx
