It really does effect alot of us, but i can not blame anyone, this is all on me, no-one, not my partner and especially not my doctors know i have a problem, i hide it very well, but i doubt i will be able to hide coming off of the tablets, and i’m mentally not in a place to start, but i do love i have somewhere i can unload my guilt and get advice.
All the best “If only they Knew” on cold turkey.
Can i ask you all a question, do you suffer from excessive over heating, my head literally is dripping just by hoovering my house or polishing, just me or is this a thing.
For obvious reasons i can’t ask my doctor!
Wow, that was alot, but you’re here helping others, i may call on you at some point. Well done. xxx
Thank you for your reply, and well done you, can’t wait to be on the other side of this and spending every minute wondering where i will get my next lots of tablets from.
I think i need to set myself a date and work myself off them, slowly seems to be the way, not cold turkey by what i have read on this thread.
The shame makes it impossible to tell friends and family, but i like this site, i can be open and frank.
Hi, Sorry if i’m messaging incorrectly, first timer, but i’ve never spoken out loud about my addiction.
My family do not know about my addiction, 3 years now, take up to 10 a day of 30/500mg but feel nothing, i don’t have easy access to them as i only get 60 per month on prescription so i steal them from family members as and when i can.
I eat OTC Ibuprofen/Codeine tablets 6-8 at a time when i’m out of the proper tablets, still feel nothing.
I went 2 days without taking anything and i was in physical pain, everything ached, my patience was non existent and i could not concentrate at work.
I know i need to stop taking tablets all together, but i am honestly scared how my body and mind will react to not having that warm feeling for the 5 minutes i get as i am now immune to them and how they made me feel, but my body is just so used to having them i am scared what will happen when i stop.
Not sure if i’m after advise or whether i just needed to tell someone about my addiction, as i can’t tell anyone in my real life.
