Hi. I have stopped taking codeine as of 5 days ago. Believe it or not I was taking 1,680mg of codeine a day! When I wrote that down I could not believe it. It all became so normal and an important part of my day. I can honestly say for me it had to stop. I realised that I was not the man I once was. I no longer wanted to make love to my wife. I could sit for hours happily letting whatever life I have disappear in front of a TV. My body and my feet ache, I have to take loperamide to stop from using the toilet every 5 minutes. I cry easily and sometimes feel overwhelmed by my emotions . But I knew if I don’t stop now I could lose myself and the funny, interesting person( I thought ) I had been once upon a time.
God knows it’s not going to be easy but the alternative of being a slave to some small white pills is not for me. Wish me luck on my journey , I wish all the best on yours..
