Hi all,
Glad I found this forum!!
I am currently taking zapain [500/30mg]
Then once my prescription runs out, usually only after a few days I’ll but otc solphadeine and ibuprofen/codeine, I take alot, alot more than I should, probably messed up my insides, iv been on and off for about 2 years, went cold turkey last year by accident as I was ill and thought I was going to die, I haven’t told my wife, I want to tell my doctor but am a little scared to be honest, has anyone gone through there doctors? Not sure I can physically or mentally handle cold turkey and hide it from my wife, 3 young kids and work. Any help/info would be appreciated, I honestly don’t feel this is going to end well for me. My fault, what can I say.
Hi Navy.
I don’t know you or your OH’s issues.
It will get better, it will take time.
And if he can stay off whatever he’s been on he will be back to normal, it may take weeks, maybe months depending on what it is.
It’s obviously a really **it situation for you to be in. But saying that if you Love him, then stand by him, get him through it.
If you feel like it’s not your problem or you’ve had enough sometimes it’s best to walk away, although I think that would probably be the worst thing for him right now.
If its hard drugs then maybe professional help is what he will need.
Good luck.

Have you been to the doctors about depression? I’m sure you have, but may be worth going again, not sure what kind of codeine you are taking, but maybe we are in similar positions.
Iv struggles all my life with anxiety more than depression, mainly social anxiety which completely goes against my personality, it has held me back so much in life, I’m 32 and already regretting all the things I haven’t done, I used codeine and the sense of not caring and just being calm grabbed me. Been 2 years now on and off, having to take ridiculous amounts to even feel normal, I hope you can get some help before you stuck on it, I can’t last a few hours without any, also have 3 young kids, it’s a hard one for me, because when I have codeine it makes me feel good, and I can do anything, but mow without it I’m useless, I feel so guilty aswell, hopefully I can get off this, not much of a good answer for you, just hope you can pull through and not let it get any further the guilt will get worse, concentrate on your son and your business, you have a lot going for you! I keep my fingers crossed for you. If you can stop taking it, please do. ????
