Bless you Maria, it’s really difficult isn’t it. I unfortunately had to take a codeine tablet the other day as I just couldn’t cope with the pain I was in. I only took the one and it doesn’t seem to have affected me much, although my anxiety has spiked a tad, but I’m generally an anxious person anyway, it’s the one thing I have consistently struggled with since quitting the drug.
I have to add though I hadn’t had any codeine for 7 months so I think that’s why it hasn’t really bothered me. I have read somewhere that taking the tablet after stopping can trigger the PAWS affect again. But with me I wouldn’t notice as I’m an anxious bean most of the time anyway ????
Whatever you choose to do remember to be kind to yourself, this isn’t easy and we are only human ♥️
