Hi,
thanks for replying, maybe the WhatsApp admin will be back soon. This is nasty isn’t it! I have read this whole thread over and over from day 1 and it’s the only thing that has kept me going. I long for a “normal” day and a decent sleep, I average about 2 hrs broken sleep per night and have actually given up going to bed and just lie on the sofa. My legs are driving me mad- came in from work yesterday and they started after just sitting for 5 mins. I won’t let this break me though, haven’t shed a tear once and don’t intend to… I have to keep going and pray there is light at the end of this dark tunnel soon x
Keep going, I know day 3 feels like 3 weeks but you’re getting there, each day done is a day of healing and the average here seems to be about 4 weeks for most, except for me because I was taking more than 1 drug. You will get there x
April 13, 2023 at 6:34 am in reply to: Day 18 cold turkey from codeine and starting to feel like myself #35009radrayParticipantHi, was just wondering if the WhatsApp group is still running?
My life is a mess- 4 year addiction to Cocodamol, taking 18 tablets per day of 30/500. Was also abusing diazepam daily as well as sleeping tablets , Zopiclone either 7.5mg or 15mg at night. My bedtime routine usually consisted of 3 co-codamol 30/500, 10mg of diazepam and either 1 or 2 sleeping tablets. In the morning I would get up and have 6 cocodamol before going to work followed by 3 at morning teabreak, 3 at lunch, 3 when I got home and another 3 as part of my bedtime routine.
I have done cold Turkey off the whole lot and am currently on day 31, I can’t sleep, the restless legs are horrendous and my anxiety is through the roof at times. Last night I just wanted to break down as I don’t think I can do this anymore. Has anyone been through polydrug withdrawl before?
