We’ve got very similar way of worrying about things. I kept thinking how is it possible that Ive been suffering like that this long when I read (even on this group) that people were being on stronger opioids for even 20 years and they are feeling 90% themselves at the same stage I am right now. I was never taking prescribed codeine, only over the counter and never increased the dosage over the 7 years. So i was very naive approaching  detox thinking it won’t be too difficult for me. I think it may be difficult for us also because it took us by surprise . I dont know about you but I thought it will only be difficult during the first week. Never considered it can last this long and that it comes back again after it starts feeling better. I also read in some article that the intensity of  detoxing codeine and how long it may last is very individual thing. Apparently genetic factor is very important. So it can be different for everyone. I cant wait to read that you’re finally feeling yourself. I wisht that for myself and everyone here!!
