Hi all…as said the Anxiety is a killer from these little devils!
Its what has kept me taking them for soo long if im totally honest.Yes i am in pain,however not excruciating all the time,most of the time i can get bye on 400mg Ibroprophen. Sometimes though they don’t touch the pain hence the “devils” (dihydrocodeine) are prescibed.So it can be likened to a double edge sword! I will adapt to the pain now though.
Keep strong all!
@Warby smashing it pal ????
@wynter you too man ????????????????

Hi Wynter, i do get ahead of myself to say the least.
Like you both say its one step,2 back sometimes.
I have been on antidepressants for awhile now,its just the hopelessness at the moment,and of course the waking up to constant Aniety,bloated tum ect! When i came off them last i was sure i was well better by week 4! I dunno,everything for a reason they say! Keep strong all! ????????

????????????????????????????????????June 18, 2023 at 8:27 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35389MarkyMarkParticipantHi all,i think we can put most of our thoughts,ailments down to not having this stuff in our systems! I am still struggling motivation wise,am at day 29! I too never thought i would get to this stage. However i still thought i would be right now..am not.I think it was Wynter who said his gp said can last 6 weeks or even longer.Just got to try and get on with it i think.
Carry on with your great work guys/gals! You WILL beat this.
Its the mind thats causing me the biggest problem now.
Speak soon all!

Yes i have always seem to get addicted to most things.
I have been told it all to do with my childhood an younger life.
That mustve taken some to help your daughter at day 7! Really was!
Its amazing what we can do when we WANT to.
Have a great day all,thinking of you all on this journey!
Stay strong Wynter buddy!
June 16, 2023 at 1:06 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35379MarkyMarkParticipantHi Wynter
You are soo right,i too am enjoying my music more,although i tear up in most! Lol! i do not drink either.
I used to be into fishing,so i hope i can somehow carry that on with my daughter.Just no motivation whatsoever.
Most in the thread have recovered in 4 weeks,must be the PAWS effect? I do not know.
However i am determined more than ever.
Hope we can all carry this thread forward,it does help! Noway could i see 18days never mind 27!
Good luck again all!
Keep at it Wynter ????????
June 16, 2023 at 9:06 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35375MarkyMarkParticipantHi all,glad to see others are getting help from this thread.
Am day 27 today, nearly at the 4 week mark! Got to be honest though, still waking alot in the night and this feeling of waking up pissed off every morning is hard.
I think i forgot we are all different. I was on these pills for years,is going to take awhile to get back to normal.
Do not get me wrong i am 100% better than 2 weeks ago,just want some motivation and a feel good feeling,perhaps that is where i am going wrong,still looking for happiness? Hmmm sounds about right! Must try to take life without rewards.????♂️
It is a whole new mindset,i am starting to realise!
Good luck all with your journeys! ????
June 15, 2023 at 9:22 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35368MarkyMarkParticipantI too suffer from crippling anxiety and had diazapam to help,so i was even doubling up many times over the last 10weeks(i tapered,1 a week).
It was a prolonged event though however i never had the rls like i had before after CT.
These threads do help.
But remember you have to WANT.
Good luck to all! Seriously good luck!
June 13, 2023 at 10:48 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35354MarkyMarkParticipantWell done Wynter! ????
Am seriously hoping i start to get some motivation soon…need it!
Soph well done to you too an all who are in this battle!
June 11, 2023 at 10:44 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35340MarkyMarkParticipantHi all,i have been prescribed 30mg dihydrocodeine for about 5 years now(shoulder arthritis)
At my worst i was taking 360mg a day(only prescribed 240) so you can imagine all the nonsense that goes with that.
I am now on 22 days clean from dhc,i tapered down to one! Yet i still have major issues with anxiety motivation ect.Even tapering was super hard,i remember thinking I’ll never get to 18 days! I didnt have the flu but was still poorly for the first week.Its just the depression does me…i have loads of pills but will not take another.I done a week then rewarded myself by taking 4! My goodness…the horrors after that sealed it for me! Started again determined more than ever! Day 22 now! Reading these posts have helped loads! You can do this!! YOU CAN!!
Many thanks to all who have shared their stories ????
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Good luck all!!</p>
