Tapering does not stop the withdrawal process. Or at least it did not with me.I tapered from 10 dhc down to one,and still had withdrawels,not as intence but not nice all the same.I know we are all different, however i would just like too add that. Imo it definitely helped with the cravings though!

July 12, 2023 at 11:49 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35855MarkyMarkParticipantHi Wynter,my anxiety has been the same,up an down.
These things are sent to try us!
I got some Phenegan online and i got to say i think they help.They are motion sickness tablets.i was put onto them by someone who works a mental health ward.I remember them from bieng a child,we used to get dished out them on long jouneys(slept alot lol).Worth a try an only a antihistamine.
Stay strong lass ????????????????

Thats great news Wynter! Weight off your mind i bet.
Day 50 for me,have been tempted just too see what it would feel like.Not going too though.
I had a bad day Friday,felt the anxiety full on,put me in bed,slept most of friday and still slept during the night too! Think i had 11 hours in the night! I am still stuck in depression even though am exercising,which i find strange.
I do not remember it lasting this long the last time.That was over 3 years ago i suppose.
Just hang in there all,this a one hell of a battle!
I am lucky,i do not suffer from health anxiety.If the man with the black coat an scythe is coming for me,he is welcome!
Have always had anxiety,however always battled it,sometimes you just get fed up with the battle.
Stay strong all! Remember its a MARATHON not a RACE. We have to remember that i feel.

Whatever feelings or uncomfortablness you had before,will be extremely heightened during withdrawal.
I read you had tapered down, i did this time too,down 1 a week,for 10 weeks,then stopped.I found that my cravings are not the same when i went CT. They was continously on my mind CT.
Good luck you got this ????????????????
July 8, 2023 at 9:10 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35812MarkyMarkParticipantHi Warby,the feelings are Anxiety,that is one my main symptoms.Pins an needles in face ect…try counting to 5 breathing in,then pause 1 then breath out too five.Something to do with oxygen and co2 levels out of sync that cause the pins an needles.Just my thoughts,and imo.

July 7, 2023 at 9:01 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35800MarkyMarkParticipantHi all, 7 weeks tomorrow and my anxiety/depressive thoughts are still riding high.
So all who are enduring,it can last awhile.
I have no more positivity to spread at the moment,so take good care all.
Warby glad your nearly there pal.

I hope everyone is ok and still battling.
It seems as though once people are through the otherside,they rarely come back.
Whichever way you look at it,it is positive! They have beaten the demon! They may relapse,but they know what is here to help them,or learnt ways from here to go again!
Stay strong troops will always remember this place.

Pain is pain as they say,whether that be physical or emotional. I know exactly where your coming from,however i will say confiding in a close family member would be of great help during the process,it can be a very lonely time.You have read the thread,you know what too expect ie. withdrawing ect.You are not going to be very well.
Whatever you decide is your decision, we’ll all be here for support if needed. Good luck and be strong,you got this!

If this is for families why hasnt most of the posts been removed? Each post is of someones journey?
July 4, 2023 at 10:47 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35747MarkyMarkParticipantOhh Ns,Wynter is very right unfortunately. This is going to be hell through the first week,but it WILL get better.
Keep going you got this,day 4 already! Please,keep telling yourself this is only temporary.It will ease,you are at your most vulnerable atm.
I was told to think of it as, whats 4-6 weeks when you got the rest of your and your families life infront of you.It WILL go honestly.Hour at a time if needed. I even looked up and asked for strength in my first week(am so not religious at all) but i didnt know what else to do,i felt soo helpless an lonely.It got me through somehow,do not know how,i think something just took my mind off it or something happened that before i knew it,it was 6 o clock and that told me another day done.
You only have to read the thread,that so many people have come out the otherside,albeit very hard they have.
Stay strong,you got this!
