Hi,
Day 5 and I’m struggling.
I’m finding the anxiety the most difficult thing to cope with, I just wish it would all go away.
I feel nauseas again today and still have diarrhoea.
I wish someone was still here..

The mornings seem to be worse.

I don’t know if anyone is here but I’m going to keep posting so hopefully I can look back one day and this nightmare will be over ????
I am on day 3 now of CT
I was initially prescribed codeine for an arm injury in 2013 and over the years I’ve just taken it. It used to be solohadine max which you can buy otc here in the UK
Then the last few years I have been buying 30/500 of someone whilst occasionally getting a prescription of my doctors for migraines.
So I’ve been abusing them chasing the ‘high’
I was in hospital Sunday night as I scared myself that I had taken too much paracetamol so I was put on a drip, eventually all my bloods came back fine so I was sent home.
I haven’t been right since then, I think it’s because even though I took some codeine on mon, tue, wed, it was nothing like my usual routine.
I have had diarrhoea since Monday, I have no appetite and can’t face food, I’ve lost over a stone. And my anxiety is crippling me, I’m trying to stay calm and tell my self it’s just my body adjusting, but I’m scared to death I’ve got something seriously wrong with me.
I’ve never wanted to put weight on so much in my life before!
Hope everyone is staying strong xx

I’ve probably been taking them for about 9 years but only really been abusing them the last couple of years. At my highest I was probably taking about 700mg but usually about 600mg
I’ve not had any since Wednesday night so am on day 2. I’ve go crippling anxiety but I started with that before I stared detoxing so I don’t know what the hell is wrong with me.
I just know I don’t want to take any more of this poisons.
Hope you’re ok?

Just jumping on the thread, I’ve been on codeine for years and have decided to come off them. I had 2 x 30mg this morning at 6.30 and tomorrow will be my first full day without them.
I am absolutely terrified I’ve been suffering with really bad anxiety, my appetite has gone.
I really hope I can do this.
