????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Mumabee
You should be over most of the physical symptoms, however it is still a very dangerous time.Your mind will try and play tricks on you so stay strong!
You WILL get better,you will! You have done so well to get too day 6! Dont get me wrong,it is not all plain sailing but you will start to notice some relief,either it be sleep or just generally feeling better yourself.
Take care Mumabee,rest an drink plenty.
Eat what you can too!
YOU got this!! Take care and stay strong!!!

Hi all!
I hope this finds you all feeling positive. If not,do not worry,hour at a time if need be.
You will get to where you want to be,it will just take a little time.Stay strong. You can do this.
Lots of people have been on since i have, and are working hard at overcoming this horrid time!
Thankyou Tezza for the kind words it really does mean alot to me that i am able to help someone. I still have bad days,i think it has always been there,i like others used these pills to cope with life aswell as pain.
They are not there anymore and the struggle is real.
Stay strong all!! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi
All completely normal im afraid. It is horrid isnt it.It comes out of nowhere!
If you can talk to your gp they may be able to provide something short term if you explain.Worth a try.
Good luck all an stay strong!

Hi Anonymouse
Believe it or not, i am in a very similar position,however it is not guaranteed it is PAWS an even if it is, it does not mean you are going to be suffering all of that time.Yes there are bad days,but they are better than the days of DHC. You will feel better without them i can seriously say that,as can most on this platform. Stick with it man…it is the codiene that plants these negative thoughts,honestly,they are extremely clever.Or should i say the pharmaceutical companys are!!
Good luck with your Mum,33 years is a long time.Serious help is needed there, as it can litrally kill you,getting clean. Yet it is completely legal! Makes alot of sense does it not.
Good luck with your journey my friend,just holla if you need to talk,that goes for all infact
Stay strong troops ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi there
Post accute withdrawal i think it is called,it’s when the original symptoms may last for months. Am not sure but i think it depends on lots of factors.
I sometimes think i suffer from it, however in all honesty i think i was masking my anxiety with the dhc.I gave up alcohol 12yrs ago,that’s when my anxiety started imo.
Doing well man ????
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all
Everything you are both going through is unfortunately completely normal. Everything.It is truly a horrendous time,it really is. You have to give yourselves some credit,it’s such a hard thing to do.
Yes taking the co codamol will have messed with your system,100%. It has to go completely am afraid. Stay strong though,you will get there i know it!
To get to the last post click on the last reply on the first page,i used to have to scroll all the way too untill awhile ago. ????♂️
If anyone is finding the Ct too hard then taper if you have the will power,i did after failing the ct a few times.Just cut down one tab per week,then you will only have a heavy cold at the end if at all.I went from 300mg dhc down too 30mg and still wasnt well.However i had been on them for years.I found i didnt crave anywhere near as much when i tapered,i think its the discipline of the taper that helps with the cravings.
Seriously though,really well done all for getting this far! Takes minerals!!
Stay strong troops ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all
Not been around for awhile,however nothing has changed.All of you are doing an amazing job with your recovery!
It’s such a difficult time,but as you can testament too it will get better.I too found the headwork the hardest,still have very negative days but i must just accept them as that.
Super well done all! Stay strong! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Access at 6mths man,that has gone quickly.Well done.
Hi all!
It’s great too see lots of new faces beating the demon! I don’t know how many days I am, but some days it’s still a struggle.We got this though,coming back in seeing the amount of strength you guys got is so inspiring.it really does help with the battle.
Stay strong all ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Cyclops! What you are feeling is completely normal unfortunately. I still have really bad days when i think exactly the same as you,is it worth ect! It is worth it,we have to find other enjoyments! I am still struggling now bieng kind to myself is something completely new. So are alot of things at the moment.Our feelings/emotions have been dulled for so long it will and can take awhile for us to adjust,very slowly unfortunately. Stick at it man,snatch the good bits when you can,get out try other things perhaps. Just don’t give up! You know that codiene life was vrap really! We forget so quickly expecting to feel all good after the withdrawal, i think the physical withdrawal is just the beginning for many!
You got this,keep strong man!
Positive mental attitude! YOU got this you really have.
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all,this is one of their most evil tricks! Just the the cple ,see what will do.Dont try,honestly it is not worth it.All it will do is start you again at the begining,and all that brings! Yeah life is pretty boring without the drugs,but it is better than sneaking around looking for that buzz! That you will never find again.The warm fuzzies have gone! Stay strong all,please, you really have got this! You really have! Well done!

Hi Maria, first of all you’re not a pity party or whatever you want to call it! You are most probalby in the biggest battle of your life! These things are horrendous. They are soo hard to kick because alot use to mask other problems.Untill they get adressed it will always be there in some sort of way.
Its a long journey Maria,you have fallen,however you can get back and go again! Show these things they do not control you! You have as much support as you need in this site,you really have! 30 plus days is a huge achievement too!!
Give it another go,you know you want too! You can do this,35 days you done!! You CAN do this.Sending positive vibes!
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Bunkiller and both Jays!
You have found the best place to be for help,empathy an advice.However,always check medical advice.I suggested phenergan to Wynter and it did not get on with her at all,please check.
Yes the hard part is very mental in my eyes too. Don’t get me wrong it was all hell,but dealing with all the emotions that had been suppressed was really hard. It was similar to when i stopped drinking,blinkers were firmly on! After returning to some sort of normality i knew i hadnt been in my right mind for years! Still most probalby not haha.
Please remember these pills have been helping us to survive in our own way,so we have to learn new actions or habits to replace the DHC. Our bodies are not liking going without these pills at all!
Over the counter meds are immodium, vit c,all vits an minerals will help a little.
Phenergan is a antihistamine for travel sickness but it has helped people stay calmer.
Anything,just holla..am sure someone will check in an offer some needed advice!
Stay strong all, YOU GOT THIS!

While i remember Richard,if your doctor listens an is willing to help then ask for some.There are soo many medications that help..Good luck man!!.
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Richard, you are in the right place .plenty of water(fluids)food if you can manage it and just take it as it comes,it will get easier! Days 3-7 were the worst for me too..for the physicals anyway.
Immodium is also your friend if you can take it.Plenty of vit c,Magnesium ect.
Keep checking in your feelings with the site,it may feel silly at first,but believe me it really does help! You can do this,so many have shown,yes its not going to be vwry pleasent,however whats a few weeks to the rest of our lives.
Speak soon my freind,stay strong,YOU got this!!!
