Good luck net70.
My nose is running constantly now. I’ve just read the whole thread. The withdrawal is terrifying.
I want to kick these tablets though. I forgot what the real me was like. Whatblife was like without pills.
The hours seem to be going so slowly. This is only day 1 and I’m already struggling
Well I’ve only been up and hour and I’ve started sweating already. Already thinking how I can get some money to go and buy some.
This is terrible
I have a job interview on Monday and I will have all the withdrawal symptoms. Think it’s safe to say I won’t get the job.
Dotty I think you should go cold turkey, just like you i do not have the self control to taper.
Let me know how you get on.
How long do the withdrawal effects last? The physical effects? They are the ones that worry me the most
I’m precisely the same. I have had surgery on my back 3 times. Every day I wake up in absolute agony.
I want to taper down but I know I dont have the discipline whatsoever.
I have just calculated I spend approx £300 a month! No wonder I am always skint and stressing over money.
I feel like crying. How did I get in such a mess?
Just like you, I am terrified of the withdrawal so always think to myself…I will start tomorrow! Tomorrow comes and the first thing I do is go and get some more NP! I have to alternate pharmacies as I have been refused them before…..bank Holidays are the worst, trying to find a pharmacy that’s open or even buying extra the day before! It’s absolutely crazy, it’s madness! All for those stupid pills! A months worth of codeine phosphate on prescription barely lasts me a week! I can take a whole sleeve or more in a day! How am I not a zombie? The messed up thing is I don’t even feel the effects anymore. They make me just feel normal, not high, not sleepy, not anything. Just normal. So why do I even take them all?
God I absolutely hate this! I have nothing in the bank so by default I have no choice but to go cold turkey tomorrow, it’s scary. Straight away m nose starts running and I start to get really sweaty. It’s absolutely awful
I have never calculated it. But at least 1 or 2 boxes of NP a day
What advice can you give to manage the actual withdrawal symptoms? Like walking or vitamins etc
Hi All
Well done to all of you who are kicking or even kicked this horrible drug. I chickened out of not taking them. I’m too scared of the withdrawal symptoms.
I have more codeine off the doctor. They will run out by the end of tomorrow and I simply can’t afford to get more nurofen so I really must kick this addiction.
I am no longer the woman I once was. I get no joy out of life. No drive. No motivation.
I hate being a prisoner to this drug. I want to be codeine free so badly

Thank you everyone for your reply. I had never admitted to being addicted until I wrote my first post, which felt really strange.
Tomorrow I am going to start cold turkey.
I hate taking the tablets and I definitely cannot afford to sustain it. I’m spending money that I could use to take my kids out or pay towards renovating my house. Lately I have found myself borrowing mo ey just to get the nurofen.
It is so embarrassing.
Thank you for all your support. I havent told anyone I’m addicted and I don’t want to tell anyone either.
I dont want my kids to think of me as a drug addict
Hi all. I’ve been reading all your post so well done to everyone.
I have been addicted to codeine for about 6 years following a back injury. I have been contesting going cold turkey but I am scared. I’ve hidden my addiction from everyone. When I run out of my codeine prescription I start taking a whole box of nurofen us a day, sometimes more.
I am spending a huge amount on this stupid addiction.
I am considering going cold turkey but I dont know how I will handle the withdrawal. What can I do to try and limit the withdrawal effects?
I dont want to be taking all these tablets everyday.
