Hi guys .Just finished work and can honestly say it wasn’t too bad,considering it was 10
Hours.Head really clear,back still a bit sore but not as bad.Hope to god I’m on the mend.Hope you’re all ok.
I’m also on sertraline 100mg.Have been for good few years .I have had the highs and also thought it was them also. I’m wondering if the highs are also the brain repairing itself.Apparently that’s what happens.I’d watched a programme called addiction which explains how it works
I think we are all doing great.I think I expected to have withdrawals then I would be back to normal.Whatever normal is for me.I was taking them just to feel ok then that stopped happening.I got scared and really low as I felt there was no way I wanted to take anymore.I think that if I feel a little better each day then that’s the way my recovery is going to go..I’ve only myself to blame
Started tapering on February 20th.Then decided to stop on March 25th.Had symptoms and foggy head for about a week.Still have restless legs but not as bad as they were.Loose bowels most days unless I take Imodium..My head is clear and I can do a lot more than at the beginning but still don’t have a lot of motivation .I go walking with my daughter and her baby some days and that makes me feel good.That’s the main reason I stopped because of the new baby.Just thought if I don’t I’m going to die.Sounds dramatic but I keep telling myself that when I get a bit down
I’m getting some housework done today.Takes me so much longer than before but I just sit down and rest.I have a large family(sisters and nieces) We chat a lot on WhatsApp which keeps me going as they love a laugh.They obviously don’t know what I’m going through.Working most of next week.I think it’s good to have a routine
Didn’t sleep too well.I’m putting it down to the amount of sugar I had.Ate quite a lot of chocolate yesterday .Got up really early.Will be more careful today as I start at 7am tomorrow
I think everyone has different circumstances Chris.After I told my daughter I felt guilty as I didn’t want her to worry.I just knew she would have noticed I wasn’t myself
It’s good to talk to someone who’s going through the same.I live alone but told my daughter as we are really close and she would have sensed something not right .Let’s hope for a better day tomorrow right enough Eva
Had the same symptoms Chris .The yawning is weird .Felt really rude at work when someone was talking to me.Really unable to stop it.To be fair she’s kinda boring lol
That wasn’t long Eva.You’ll hopefully recover pretty quick.I think I’m going to take longer due to the length of time if took them
On day 8 my symptoms seemed a bit better..I was taking antihistamines and they weren’t working and that’s when I realised it was part of the withdrawal
Stay strong Chris.My first couple of weeks were crazy.I hardly moved from the chair,watching rubbish on you tube as I Couldnt concentrate on anything.I thought it was never getting better but it really does.I’m not 100 percent yet but everyday I feel a little better.I’m back at work which I struggled with at first.This forum has been a big help
Yes I did Eva.I thought I’d hayfever as I was also sneezing a lot
Hi guys.Been reading the posts when I started to taper in February.Been clean from codeine from March 26.It’s not been easy.I’ve kept a diary to remind me of each day.My mind is clearer but I still have a sore back,loose bowels .Sleeping is a little better but still have restless legs.I was taking codeine for 20 years so don’t expect to feel better overnight.If I could turn back the clock I would never have taken those pills
