Hey Layla
No one is here to judge so don’t worry about that.
You will be addicted for sure unfortunately as you already know if you were to stop taking these suddenly you will begin feeling ill pretty quickly – it’s also a relatively high dose your taking there.
The good news is that you can certainly tackle this if you want to in a number of ways – it won’t always be easy and you will need support but it can be done. Its more than just getting off codeine though, you have to really understand why taking them was a solution in the first place.
Here to help any way I can
Ok so multiple things going on here, and I’m sorry to hear about sickle cell too.
Have you reached out to the GP recently to review the meds?
That’s sad to hear and the denial is powerful . Does anyone in his family have a way in to talk to him and support you?
Hey id be happy to help
Hey.
Sorry about the situation
Unfortunately it reads as if your partner is cross addicted – using the things you described to self medicate somehow.
Perhaps seeing what he saw sent him that way, who knows. Unfortunately what I do know having been in his shoes is that unless he wants to stop all this himself and get help, there is nothing you can really do other than look after yourself. Feeling sorry for him isn’t going to help him long term either.
Would he consider seeing someone to get some outside help ?
Hello.
Loved reading the post.
First up, what sort of pain we talking here physical or mental?
Hey thanks for the post
I’m thirteen years sober next month so know a little about how this works.
It isn’t so much about how much, or holding down a job lots of us managed to get around that, it’s the reasons why and how it’s impacting his family.
Have you tried to sit down and tell him how this is impacting you and the baby directly? Children are both parents responsibility
Hey guys wanted to say well done. So glad this post is alive and well it saved my life a year and a bit ago
If you need support happy to help
Well done
What detox did you do?
There is always a way out of it, it just doesn’t feel like that right nowmy
Ok thanks.
I was in a very similar boat with pure codiene and then morphine. It went on for a very long time.
There are two options here. Ideally speak to the go and see what support they can offer in terms of a taper plan, by tapering that is a gradual reduction over time so you can come off them.
Otherwise it’s tapering down yourself slowly over time.
You have to be very careful or you could slip into withdrawal cold turkey and that’s not a nice place for anyone believe Me. I went through it
Ok got it. How many are you taking? Do they have eight or 12mg codeine ?
Ok few questions
Are you based in the UK?
What sort of codeine have you been taking, pure or the nurofen plus type
Hey he needs to see a doctor asap, that could be liver issues. Happy to help you any way I can
