    Hi Eva

    The symptoms start to subside at about the 7th to 8th day mark, but they were still there. I would say I felt significantly improved at about 2 weeks but still not feeling quite right. One month mark you feel considerably more “normal”. I had bad sneezing everyday which was hanging around for ages but has now gone. Also restless legs were horrible but passed around 2 week mark and now gone. I was mildly depressed for about 2 weeks but my mood slowly lifted after that and I know feel pretty good! I have been left with silent GERD and annoying dry cough (not covid, been tested) and that came on about a week after I stopped taking the codeine. I’ve still got it

    I have cravings now and again but nothing bad ????

    Hi everyone – just introduce myself. I was on up to 24-32N+ per day, everyday for about 5 years. I mostly floated around the 24 pills per day on average. I am now 2 months into withdrawal! I went cold turkey. It does get easier everyday so please keep on “keeping on” as they say ????

    You can do it as you have done it before, you know what to expect. If my partner hadn’t found the empty packets then I’d be sitting here , ending the day on another NF+ haze-the worst thing about was that i never got the buzz anymore! So it wasn’t even working like it used to!

    I can’t let my body be consumed by all this toxicity anymore , for my sake and the sake of my partner and my siblings.

    Hey. I was on 22 a day and am moving into my 8th day CT, so 1 day behind you!

    I still have diarrhoea also restless legs and arms at night (but sleep seems to have improved a bit) also sneezing – what’s with the sneezing!?

    I am very flat mood in the morning and throughout the day with little interest in things, possibly mild depression? I am still feeling weak and just generally feeling ‘rough’ but as I said on another post I’m assuming that’s because I have trashed my body for the last 5 years!

    I have cravings which is to be expected but I cannot go back to the way I was, my job is glamorous to some and one where you can’t do it unless you are firing on all cylinders.

    Great to have other people to chat to on here.
