Hey how’s everyone doing ?
Day 14 here for me! The anxiety has reduced massively & I’m starting to feel abit better 🙂 strange though the past 3 days ive just lay about the house with no motivation or energy to do anything were as the first week I was flat out in the gym . I feel like I’m kinda of in the mild depression stage of it just don’t want to do anything but rest & now I’m fed up with that to . Ugh! Also I didn’t get restless legs until day 12 which I found strange . But anyways just letting yous no that slowly but surly you get there . Just keep pushing through .
Good luck everyone xxxx

Yes it definitely effected mine . The pains I was getting were unbearable lying curled up in a ball crying , I was off the codeine 11 days & ended up relapsing because of this . I was nearly taking a trip to the hospital it was that bad .

Hopfully after today things start to pick up I found befour when I detoxed that most of it was all rolled into one day then it started to pick up 🙂 sending you healing hugs – we got this xxx

August 7, 2022 at 5:32 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #30368celtic-17ParticipantYes Casey J I’m already doing all that & I’ve an appointment with a therapist tomorrow which I’ve been waiting several months in so everything’s sorta falling into place . The anxiety is the biggest problem with me it’s all down to confidence once I popped 5 or 6 of them pills I could have taken on the world 🙁 how are you getting on with your detox ? X
August 7, 2022 at 5:13 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #30367celtic-17ParticipantHave hope I’m really sorry about your mother . Loosing a parent very young is so difficult I lost my father when I was 13 . My heart is with you love ❤️ though it’s strange I didn’t start grieving his loss until I was 28 it’s like I buried it deep into my subconscious & its all coming up to be felt & healed ? Funny enough that’s round about the time I started taking codeine and from then on it’s been a battle on & off on and off .
August 7, 2022 at 4:04 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #30366celtic-17ParticipantHi have hope 🙂
I’m in exactly the same situation as you love . There’s been a lot of traumatic experience & heart break in my life and it’s all been very public 🙁 I was feeling very exposed for years not an ounce of confidence or self esteem & those pills really helped me cope with that . I detoxed of my propanol nearly two years ago and replaced them with healthy vitamins and I blend celery & lemon up in water at least twice a day I never want to go back on them either I take 30 m of mirtrizape which I think has got me through the withdrawals . Day 4 and I’m sleeping at least 6 – 7 hours and my appetite is fine . Exercise is my new go to I feel amazing after it , anyone else coming if these pills get yourself into the gym pool & sauna I’m amazed how well I’m coping and it’s only day 4 xx
August 7, 2022 at 10:27 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #30354celtic-17Participant6.5 weeks that’s amazing Casey sitting here on day 4 that seems many moons away 🙁 how did you find the mental side of when did it kick in and when did it start to ease ?
I’m finding the mornings my anxiety is at it’s worst but once im up and doing things it starts to ease . Im not evening craving codeine at all , just want something that will settle this horrible anxiety

August 7, 2022 at 9:16 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #30352celtic-17ParticipantI was taking thirty of five hundreds between eight and ten a day but not every single day the last few months I think that’s why the withdrawal hasn’t been to extreme. But it’s the mental side I’m worried about I’m just sitting here waiting on it creeping up on me . Xxx
August 7, 2022 at 9:09 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #30351celtic-17ParticipantHey star 🙂
Cold Turkey is definitely the best option for me I no it’s hard but it’s the quickest and fastest way from having these devil pills out of your system . I’m actually doing fine I’ve been at the gym every day went to work aswell just trying to keep busy , the exercise has helped massive spin classes and treadmill I don’t no were the energy’s coming from but I feel so good after doing it 🙂 I was taking between 8-10 a day the past few months . Few years back I was taking around 18 . How are you getting on with your detox ? Sending positive vibes to all of you these stories are truly inspirational & a huge motivator . Can’t wait to come out of this at the other side
