Hi Maggie,
How is your Tuesday :)?
still going strong now, day 8, today I seem to be getting some Urges. As you have been through this, what is the best way to fight them?
Hope you’re good 🙂
Wow, this is seems very similar to me, I am 29 and have been taking Zapains for around 5 years. I was taking 35 a day / getting 120 prescribed every 3/4 days without a blink of an eye from the doctors.
How are you getting on now Dan? I hope it’s good news mate?
I am currently 8 days cold Turkey, and still fighting, nobody knows what I have been going through, done all the withdrawals myself, going to work, looking after my 3 month old daughter etc. I am still getting urges to get some, or even nipping the chemist to get some Solpadine, the main thing that is keeping me going is not wanting to go through the physical withdrawal process again but after the withdrawal process you won’t want to take them
Mate, if you can fight the first 8 days you can pull through. Honestly, when i was on them I was so emotionless and emotionally dethatched, to everyone and everything, I just didn’t care. Eating crap, smoking and not being bothered about my health….
What I have done is – got back in the gym, Valerian root extract for the mild anxiety and help sleep, black coffee to get me through work and tried to think positive and smile mate.
if you need any advice let me know, I hope you have pulled through the other side fella.
Hi Silentheart.
Did you manage to escape the drug? reading the thread is so similar to me. blagging I am going on Holiday / working away every other week to get my codeine early but I realised I didn’t need too as my Dr would just approve them every 3 to 4 days online, i was taking 120 tablets every 4 days and would still need more. I am 8 days cold turkey now. I don’t agree with retroheadz though, it is possible to fight it on your own, nobody has a clue what I am going through, but it would make it easier to speak to your husband.
Hi Roo,
I agree with Dan, as hard as it is you need to leave this man.
It wasn’t his mates looking up prostitutes it was him. One of my best friends has done this sort of stuff to me trying to get me to take the blame for this kind of behaviour.
The more you forgive him the more he will think he can get away with it….you don’t deserve it.
The last think you want is a child with this Man, you need to leave him ASAP.
Hi Lulu,
do you know what prescription drugs he is taking?
I have recently been addicted to Codeine and I am now 8 days clean after being 5 years to the slave of prescription drugs and I feel like a different person. These drugs really make you emotionless, a emotionally detached. Have you sat down with your husband and explained how much it is hurting you? and the children?
if I can help with anything, I will try my best
Hi BeachHut.
I have just come across your post.
To me it sounds like this dealer has befriended your son just for this reason.
it’s common in the drug dealing world. They befriend young Naïve people to store drugs for them. They think they’re there mates but in hindsight there definitely not. All dealers are the same, the have one thing in mind and it’s £££££.
As this dealer been remanded?
Hi Chaz,
Have you sat your son down and spoken to him about the pain it is causing you? and what it is doing to your relationship?
Hi,
How are you and your husband getting on?
I have been a slave to this drug for around 5 years taking around 30 tabs a day.
I am 7 days clean now, cold turkey. maybe speak to the doctor and get some Zoplicone which should help – just half of one a night,.
Thanks Maggie, I have just read some of your previous posts months ago…. I admire your strength.
Far too easy, I know in Australia there completely banned over the counter, which they should be here. it’s to easy to fall in to the Codeine Trap. Yes, the 2nd day I was looking in pockets etc to see if I left any behind, it sounds pathetic but that’s just the reality of the addiction.
Thanks for listening Maggie and I hope to message again in a week or 2 with good news…. Take care
Hi Maggie,
well done to you 🙂 this will be day 7 now for me.
feeling like I have got a bit more energy, and my concentration levels have risen.
I don’t think I have what it takes to tell anyone about it yet, I do feel like I can battle this demon alone. The cravings are still there and the fact it is so easy to get from the doctor or even over the counter in a chemist.
I watched a video of a guy on Youtube last night think he is called Dan Wheeler, which helped put things in to perspective. he was taking 25 tablets in the morning then another 25 in the evening and as a result he has now got really bad stomach problems and health conditions. Do you still get Cravings Maggie?
Hi,
How is everyone getting on?
I am 5 days clean now, physical withdrawals have eased, just waiting for the depression and anxiety to start which I’m hoping they don’t,
I have been taking zapains for about 5 years, but the last 12 months I have been taking around 30 a day. I was waking up and taking 9 of them to kick start of the day. constantly trying to hide everything from my partner, i don’t have the courage to tell her as we have just had a baby and i don’t think she needs the stress. I did finally manage to get some sleep last night for the first time in 4 days. just powering on, reading some of the comments have helped. due to the fact people are over coming this devil drug
I have been on Codeine now for about 5 years, recently at my worst taking Co-Codomal 25 x 30/500mg Paracetamol. I am now on day 4 clean, I thought I would be feeling worse than I am. Trying to stay positive eating well and drinking lots of water to flush the Toxins out. My Partner is having a baby in a couple of weeks, so it is a wake up call.
I know that is it for me now, relying on these stupid pills that are damaging our insides. We can all fight through this!
