After taking near on a hundred a week, the six I have taken are for me,nothing at all !

I hope my limbs stay still tonight and I can get some sleep

Thankyou so much for your support

I cannot believe I have got to the end of day five !You are all such lovely people and it’s the support here that is getting me through

[dottylotty]

I have woken up just now actually feeling a little better.

I have a question though so that hopefully you can ease my mind.On Friday night I had 2 pills ditto Saturday and Sunday so in 5 days a total of six pills.I am really hoping I can count Friday as my day 1.and not Monday. I hope that makes sense to you.

You must have incredible will power to have pills in the house and not take them !

I cannot believe I have got this far,and its all thanks to you lovely people

[dottylotty]

I guess once you have got to the other side you want to stay there

Of all the symptoms I have right now is a kind of hollow feeling

I think that once my limbs can stay still at night I will believe I have made it through

TBH I cannot believe I have made it this far !

Sending hugs to you via the ether

[dottylotty]

Thankyou for your support

I am glad my script is not filled right now,I feel so rubbish I would probably take some to feel better than

Take care

[dottylotty]

I am day 5 and utterly rubbish

I am far too old for dealing with this

Of course the weather does not help

I gave up alcohol many years ago and went it alone but then I was much younger

I suffered last night with the whole body thrashing around thing

Onwards and upwards and best wishes too you all through the ether

[dottylotty]

I do feel awfully lethargic but the dreadful heat is probably to blame

I really want to believe that the worst is over

I am managing my aches and pains with heat pads

Given the weather this is no fun

Are you doing ok?

[dottylotty]

I have not had the runs to contend with because I am taking Imodium around th clock.Sominex is also good for nausea but because they are both masking withdrawal I don’t really know where I am at

I am going to try halving the Sominex tablets and see what happens

The real test will be the end of the week when my script could be filled

If I am over withdrawal I have made my mind up not to get it

What kind of timeline do you think before the worst of this is behind me ?

Around 15 years ago I totally gave up alcohol

My mother and father were both alcoholics and when they died in their early sixties I just gave it up and never went back,If I did this then I know if I dig deep enough I can beat this

You are all such lovely people and it’s the support here that will get me through

Thankyou for your lovely kind words

It makes all the difference

HELP !! hello,is anybody there !

I am day4 and struggling.I am using Sominex and Imodium which is helping but the build up of Sominex is now making me feel ropey.My question is this,is day 4 too soon to quit the Sominex and Immodium ?

If anyone needs a laugh right now keep reading…..Last night I had a very weird variation of the retless legs,but my right arm developed a mind of its own and was thrashing around all night !

[dottylotty]

Well I am day three,in the past this has been an horrendous day but this time it is not. I think taking the anti sickness pills around the clock, and Sominex and Immodium.I feel not quite with it but I think that its probably the Sominex as I am taking that every few hours.

I hope you are all doing well and fighting the demon that is codeine.

[dottylotty]

I have got through day 2 ok if I can sleep I will be Ok ???? day 3 is on the horizon

Wishing you all a good nights sleep

[dottylotty]

I am not actually feeling too bad

I have precription anti nausea pills which I am necking like mad they give a very dry mouth but I can deal with that

From past experience day 3 is the worst so fingers crossed

If this is as bad as it gets I will be ok

Another hour done

Best wishes to all of you

[dottylotty]

Thankyou so much

I AM going to do this

The fact that I haven’t chosen to do it this way is irrelevant now

I am taking some Grandkids to the cinema later and then off to the coast for a few days so plenty to keep me busy

I once tried CT and ended up in hospital this scares me now but I am better prepared this time

Like us all one hour at a time is all we can do

[dottylotty]

So day 2 (again) I actually had a decent night thanks I think to Sominex

I do not feel too bad although I know from past experience that the worst is yet to come

I have the horrid feeling of doom but no nausea I think one of the ingredients in Sominex is in some travel sickness pills

Onwards and upwards for us all

[dottylotty]

That’s my idea too

I want to quit so maybe this is meant to be

I have an Appt to speak to my GP but it’s a fortnight away,I hope by then that this is all in the past

I have taken Sominex and now I am upstairs waiting for the day to end

Thankyou for your support

If anything can get me through it’s the members of this group

[dottylotty]

I started taking them when I had my first joint replacement around 5 years ago

I am prescribed 180mg per day and I have never supplemented them with other things .I know from past experience that it’s the restless legs which are the worst.I do want to sto taking them as I am tired of the constant counting and juggling to get through the

Month .

I am trying to see this as positive thing

I have enough left to take 2 at night over the weekend which may get me over the worst

We are going to the coast tomorrow we have a holiday home .So I will be able to rest at least

Deep breaths now and hope to power through

Thanks for your support I am sure going to need it
