Thankyou
I am so grateful for all the support I have got here
Without it I would never have made it this far
All I need now is to start feeling a tad livelier !
July 14, 2022 at 4:24 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29772dottylottyParticipantI cannot believe I have managed a whole week,so a great big thankyou to those who have given a ton of support.I dont think I ever really believed that I could get this far.
I still feel ropey,I have a total lack of energy ,but having come so far I am clinging on.My magnesium stuff has just arrived so,canb anyone tell me….Do I use this stuff when the legs start the manic twitching,OR do I use it every day regardless ? Any idea anyone ?
I hope you are all doing well and fighting on with determination.

I need to speak to my neurologist to access any other meds
I too shed tears over lack of sleep
Truly restless legs is a hideous thing to deal with,
I had kept enough pills to give me 2 at night(none during the day) for 3 nights .This worked and my legs behaved
I wish I had kept some more as they were key to my sleep
Day7 coming up
July 13, 2022 at 3:34 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29726dottylottyParticipantThankyou for your lovely words
I have to do this ,
The legs are now my biggest issue and when I am tired my resolve weakens
I am waiting for bedtime so that when I get up I am on day 7
July 13, 2022 at 3:23 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29724dottylottyParticipantHello ami93
I am almost at the end of day six and hanging on in there
The nausea and toilet issues are behind me
As for the restless legs , I really feel for you
Earlier today one of the lovely ladies here told me about magnesium for the legs
It will arrive tomorrow so I will let you know
You have done the hardest part by taking that first step,It is a hard road but it gets a little easier with each step
I never believed I could do it as I have always given up when it got tough.Honestly, if I can do so can you.Many others have said that the restless leg thing is the worst,I swear even my eye lashes joined in!!
When I asked the same question of how long , mostly they have said 10 days
Take it hour by hour , and before you know it you will have walked the path from the hideous pills
July 13, 2022 at 2:08 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29722dottylottyParticipantI have just ordered some spray
Thanks for the info
July 13, 2022 at 2:06 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29721dottylottyParticipantI cannot bear the thought of ever going through this again
But I am old and weak
Thankyou for your lovely kind words
July 13, 2022 at 1:59 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29719dottylottyParticipantTBH if I had any of the devils ills I would swallow them.I am using every ounce of determination right now
I shall get some spray anything is worth a go
July 13, 2022 at 1:56 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29718dottylottyParticipantI am holding on by my fingernails now
Most of the nasty side effects are ok but I feel beyond weary.I have not been out of bed,I am so close to taking some OTC stuff.It all seems so logical in my mind ,that if I took some Solpadol or similar I would feel better in minutes.I am so desperate not to do that that I have stayed upstairs.I just want this to be over.
July 13, 2022 at 12:40 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29716dottylottyParticipantAt this rate I will be sleeping while I get there !!
July 13, 2022 at 10:10 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29714dottylottyParticipantI woke up at six feeling rough as I had a bad night
I have a question if anyone can help
All the posts talk of codeine
I take dihydrocodeine please tell me that will not take longer to get through than codeine phosphate????
July 13, 2022 at 6:27 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29710dottylottyParticipantDay 6! I have had an utterly terrible night the arms and legs were all over
so to say I am shattered is an understatement
If I had had any of the devils pills I would have taken one just to sleep
Lucky for me I have non how long does this leg thing last when can I hope for it to be over?
I hope you all had a better night than me
July 12, 2022 at 6:13 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29705dottylottyParticipantNo idea what I can use for a quick energy boost as I no longer drink coffee
A DR advised me to quit it many years ago as I have Morbid Hypertension.Maybe I should eat lots and lots of chocolate !!
Have a good night
July 12, 2022 at 5:19 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29703dottylottyParticipantHow long will this total lack of energy last ?I am struggling to do the simplest of thing
I cannot believe I am almost at a week,never in a million years did I really believe I could get to this
you are all such lovely people
July 12, 2022 at 5:07 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #29702dottylottyParticipantWhen I gave up alcohol I T began drinking Diet Coke
I am probably addicted to those lovely little cans
