Hi Apple
Welcome. I’m just 4 weeks now codeine free. As skiddy has said it is tough at the beginning. For me the 1st 2 weeks where bad then I started to gradually feel better. I would also second the advice to take time off work and other commitments. I was just barely function in the first 2 weeks. So not having any responsibilities really helped. My gp told me to get out in the air for short walks and although it was the last thing I wanted to do, it really did help.
Be kind and patient with yourself. You can and will get through it. We are here if you need us
Thank you. I’d still love to join the WhatsApp group if it’s still going. I’ve sent 2 emails but I’m not sure if I’m sending to the right email as I gavent got a reply. Coukd you tell me the email again pls?????
Ah thanks fir checking in on me. Day 14 now and im a little better. I find the more I keep moving the better I feel. But definatly much better. I’m so glad for this pist I really am. Without it I don’t think I would have got through it. So thank you to each of you for being so honest and sharing your experience so openly. ❤️
Thanks so much for your reply. And your kind words they mean so much when your struggling. Your doing amazing yourself. It’s a constant struggle.
Today I was feeling a bit groggy after lunch and fir the first time since stopping I thought to myself I must take my solpadine. It was like a reaction. I caught myself quickly and reminded myself that it was just out of habit.
My post has been removed for some reason. Thanks so much for the reply. It really is a huge help knowing what I’m feeling is somewhat normal. I’m going to get out for a short walk thismorning see if that will wake me up a bit. Im just wrecked. And I’m sleeping mostly well so I don’t know why.
Hi all day 11 here cold turkey
Hi all day 11 here cold turkey. Its been a rollercoaster. I posted a message but its saying its flagged as spam. I’d love to join the Watts app group
Hi im going through cold turkey at the moment. Its been a journey. I ended up in hospital on day 4 thinking I was having a heart attack. I was kept in for 3 days. When I got home the anxiety hit so bad I nearly went back in. I was diagnosed last year with Autism and my mental health has been allover the place before withdrawl to be honest. I’m trying to discover who I really am after years of masking.
My gp was no help gave me beta blockers even though I suffer with low blood pressure and I’ve read these are not advised if you have low blood pressure.
I’m on day 11 now. Its been a rollercoaster. I’ll feel better one day then worse the next. Diarrhoea stopped 2 days ago and suddenly came back today. Most of the physical symptoms have gone and the anxiety to be honest but its the brain fog and the lack of energy that’s lingering.
I’ve read through this form the last week and as others have said it’s been a huge support and driving force to me. Thank you all for being so honest and sharing your experiences its so helpful at a time like this.
I’d love to join the WhatsApp group I have sent an email.
