Thank you for information and after researching PAWS I have to brace myself for the possibility of these symptoms lasting years, makes me question whether there’s any point in continuing the process of not taking codeine and putting myself through this horrible process. I have quite a few health issues, both physically and mentally so having this as an added “bonus” is another blow that I didn’t need.
Good for you for 12 years sober, I wish my mother would stop but unfortunately I don’t see that happening anytime soon, after 33 years of alcoholism I think her body would just stop working if she tried to stop. I don’t even know how to help her but that’s another matter entirely. Oh dear, life is hard and no wonder we all need something to help get through it.
All the best to everyone who is trying to stop or has, it’s a daily struggle but this forum is a relief in a way.
