Hi she’s 100% wrong I promise, and heroin is a different ball game to opiates. So don’t let it mess with your head, it’s normal and it will pass.
I have the 2mg diazepam, and they worked fine for me, so I would take one and I’m sure you will be absolutely fine with your daughter.
Try to rest as much as you can, any day now it will start to get easier.
June 22, 2023 at 10:55 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35477WynterParticipantOh yes life without the codeine bubble scary, but we did before and we can do it again.
June 22, 2023 at 10:54 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35476WynterParticipantOh and I was still struggling at the same point you are now, my symptoms definitely lasted longer than 2 weeks.
June 22, 2023 at 10:52 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35475WynterParticipantHi Warby,
I’m afraid that’s incorrect information it can take up to 6 weeks that’s from a Doctor, so please do not worry, it’s all perfectly normal albeit horrible!
June 22, 2023 at 8:00 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35471WynterParticipantI’m with you, spent loads on multi vitamins, cbd, ashwaganda, anti anxiety oils, Berroca the list goes on.
Sending hugs ????
June 22, 2023 at 7:44 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35469WynterParticipantHi I’m taking cbd as well, I wanted to throw everything I could at it to feel better.
I’m so sorry you had another rubbish night Warby, it’s so hard going when it feels never ending.
I’d it possible to ask your doctor for short term dose of something to help you sleep? Failing that sominex is suppose to be good. I think if you could sleep better it will help.
Hope the sickness bogs off soon.
June 21, 2023 at 8:20 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35463WynterParticipantIt’s not really fair is it that you can’t have stuff to help. Makes you even stronger that you’re doing it without any help.
I’m wishing you a peaceful nights sleep.
June 21, 2023 at 4:54 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35461WynterParticipantI found diazepam helpful but I know a few people it doesn’t agree with. I haven’t taken any for 2 weeks now, or my propranolol for about the same, but it’s good to know I have it just incase as it really helps.
June 21, 2023 at 4:51 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35460WynterParticipantAhh Warby that’s a shame. I’m on sertraline and mirtazapine, I think that’s the only reason my sleep wasn’t affected.
It will get better, one day at a time.
June 21, 2023 at 3:33 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35456WynterParticipantHave any of you tried propranolol? I have it for anxiety and it really helped in the beginning. It doesn’t take away all the anxiety but it stops your body from being rushed with adrenaline which causes the symptoms.
It’s not addictive, just a suggestion as it may help until the anxiety eases off.
You are all doing so well, I’m always here if anyone needs to vent or ask questions
June 21, 2023 at 3:30 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35455WynterParticipantOoh I’ll look into that thank you ????
June 21, 2023 at 12:55 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35448WynterParticipantI was still feeling pretty rubbish on day 18 and like you I was thinking why am I not doing as well as some of the other posters on here. I was stressing I was going to end up with PAWs and the anxiety would never leave. But my doctor said it can take up to 6 weeks, I think by about week 4 I was definitely seeing a reduction in my anxiety, it kind of happens without you realising too much strangely. Hang on guys it will get better.
June 21, 2023 at 12:09 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35443WynterParticipantYou’ll turn a corner soon I’m certain of it, these pills do a right number on our brain chemistry. But it does right its self again. You WILL be that happy person again.
June 21, 2023 at 12:07 pm in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35442WynterParticipantHi Alex
It certainly is an up and down ride. I’m 6 weeks today but a couple of days ago I felt all achey again, almost like fluey. But in the weeks prior I kept feeling achey, on and off. I still go dizzy every time I stand up! My appetite is still not brilliant and I only started drinking coffee again this week!
I think it’s perfectly normal to have these ups and downs, but I agree it’s hard when you’re questioning if it’s normal or not.
June 21, 2023 at 11:22 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35437WynterParticipantHi Ableton,
Well done! It’s so bloody hard isn’t it, I’m 6 weeks clean today and never thought I’d get here. Those early days were awful. I still struggle with motivation but it’s a marathon not a sprint so we’ll get there ????
