Days 4 and 5 were probably the worst in terms of feeling hopeless. Maybe even day 6. I think it’s because the first three days you’re expecting something horrible to happen – yes, you feel crappy, but I think the willpower starts to wane a little and you want to be well. 240mg of codeine (max daily prescribed dose) is equivalent to roughly 24mg of morphine…
Get through days 4-6 and I promise each day gets more bare able and the worst is over. A year or so ago, I went through 5 days of misery and popped two cocodamol 30/500s – 1) I didn’t get the massive buzz I was expecting and 2) I’d reset the clock of misery.
I’ve been laughing loads today – only on day 8/9 🙂
