Well done Dotty. You have done amazingly!
I convinced myself I needed them. I have a really bad back – but i’m 19 days off codeine and my back has been fine! If anything, without codeine masking everything, i’m way more in tune with my body. So I know if i’m hurting myself, where I don’t think I did before!
Well done again ❤️
It could literally be any day now and all your physical symptoms will end. Then you never have to experience this again!
You’ve got this Dotty, you’ve absolutely smashed it xx
Well done Dotty!
A whole week away from codeine is absolutely brilliant. Congratulations xx
You aren’t holding on by your fingernails at all!
You have made an executive decision to quit dihydracodeine and that’s exactly what you have done. Celebrate every day, or even each hour as it passes! You have done amazingly. It’s a rough road- you know this from past experience. Make this count ❤️ You are stronger than you think xx
Awhhhh Dotty – I started feeling tons better by day 10.
So you are almost there!
Thinking of you ❤️Xx
Ahhh- that takes a little while to come back. Every day I feel better and better, but I spent a while pounding coffee and energy drinks. But every day I notice i’m needing less! I haven’t had any energy drinks for the past two days. But I have been drinking loads of coffee still xx
Well done Dotty!!!
Keep going- it only gets easier!xx
I know Casey, it definitely made it more difficult, knowing I could end my pain there and then! But i’ve never gone through anything like this before, and I’ll be damned if I do again!xx
Yeah, it’s about day 7 for that, so just two more nights and you should be done! ????????
Sending hugs back????xx
The whole time I went through withdrawal, I had a three weeks supply in my cupboard.
It’s mind over matter.
You’ll get through it and really soon you’ll start to feel better. It’s so worth it, I promise xx
Day 5 Dotty!!! Well done!!!
It only gets better and better from here.
Each day your symptoms should start to ease off- until you are all better and never again do you have to worry about ordering scripts, counting pills or making sure you’ve enough for whatever plans you have.
Every day I got through I felt my resolve harden even more. It’s such a good feeling to have a cupboard full of codeine, and not need/want it anymore!
You got this ????????Xxx
Heya Dotty!
Congrats on day 4-
You are making your way through (albeit probably painstakingly) the worst of it. Like Casey said, the first 7 days are the worst.
If you remember, I really turned a corner on day 10- I felt a whole new woman! So, 9 days of feeling rubbish is totally doable. And you can definitely do it.
I would recommend you continue with the Imodium, but continue the sominex for just sleeping. And even then, try using it sparingly!
Keep going, you are doing amazing!!❤️Xxx
Casey, I don’t know you, but I already love you. You are so lovely ❤️
I am so glad you have been anxiety free today!
Brilliant news – keep me posted how you get on xxx
Maybe in a way, it’s a good thing the choice has been made for you!
You’re right, an hour at a time. Keeping busy is a great idea- I didn’t have time to feel sorry for myself either and I think in a way, it got me through it better (and faster). Sleep hasn’t been an issue because we are moving house, so i’ve been so knackered that i’ve been out like a light at bedtime. Up loads earlier than I usually would though, but I LOVE that! I’ve spent years sleeping (due to codeine) so it’s great to wake up feeling refreshed!
Good luck xxx
You’ve got this Dotty! ????????
You’ve been here before, and got through it fine! Same as you will this time.
Great that you’ve got the sominex to help you sleep!
Let me know how you get on xx
