Hello,

Apologies in advance this is probably going to be a long post.

For the past two years I have been taking around 400mg of codiene a day.

I previously had an addiction to the same and managed to quit when I fell pregnant (not planned).

I’m at the stage now where I have come to realise I need to get off of this as I am a shadow of my former shelf.

I have no energy,no interest in anything and I’m scared of the damage I am doing to myself.

No one knows about this ,my husband probably has a good idea as he has found empty packets stashed everywhere but when he tried to speak to me about it I was dismissive and he let it go.

I can’t admit it to him I am so ashamed.

I struggle with my mental health and have been in anti depressants for four years.

What is the best way to go to stop?I’m scared to go CT as I have three kids to look after and need to be able to function for them .

If I taper can I reduce the withdrawal symptoms? Is there anything else I can take multi vitamins or the likes of to help?.

Thankyou so much for reading ,I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders writing this as I have no one to speak to.

I have been reading through all the pages and your stories have given me the strength to realise I need to quit.
