Welcome
We are all in the same situation here. Make sure you have a good read through the posts, it really does give you inspiration and hope that we can all do this.
Are you sure CT is the best for you, hod many are you currently taking?
I suffer from anxiety and depression too, that’s why I can’t Judy with draw completely x
Never be sorry, the more you share I think it does life that little bit of pressure.
Yes I still get regular diorrhea, most days to be honest. I’ve cut down to 5 c 30mg a day, I don’t think I could stop CT but sounds like you’ve thought about it and it’s a good choice for you. I’m losing weight but I think I’m just scarred to eat to be honest. Do you mind me asking if you were having the same issues.
Like I said having a colonoscopy Wednesday and abdominal scan and praying no damage has been done and it’s maybe IBS or stress. They say codein causes constipation but not with me ????????????????
It’s good you were only taking 8 a day, I have every faith you will smash this and body will go back to normal ????
Hi hun and welcome
I hope after reading everything you feel like you have a support network now and don’t feel alone.
I was taking 15 30mg of Zapain codein a day and had terrible toilet trouble for months. I really hope it’s the tablets as the diorhea had been hard to deal with, having a colonoscopy Wednesday.
These pills are not good for us.
Do you mind if I ask how much you are taking and are you sure CT is the best for you.
Make sure you do the best for you and your family, we are all here when you need us xx
Hi HaveHope
It’s so difficult when you are emotionally tied up in other things. I’m the same, other health worries and I’m about to lose my job in the next 6 weeks due to administration. Dealing with all that and tapering down is tough but we are doing it!!!!! ????????
I don’t speak to my mum since I was 8 and that makes made me sad, there are so many deeper issues but again you are dealing with things … I’m not quiet there yet.
I wish I could share pictures of my pups with you. They love me unconditionally and add joy to my life .. along with my kids and husband.
We all know how tough it is but I’ll say it again we are doing it and I’m proud of everyone and no longer feel alone.
Lots of love to you all xxxx
Well done Emie, it’s so tough not giving in and you did it!!!
So proud of you ????
They are the only ones who know about me 2. The Lurchers are rescue dogs. The sausages are like baby’s, the most demanding dogs ever ????????????
I Just didn’t realise it was such a big issue …, until now.
I have 4 dogs. 2 Lurchers and 2 sausage dogs! You would think it was hysterical if you saw us ????????????
They do bring such comfort ????
Thanks oobs I will look at that because it’s definitely emotional for me.
Dottylotty thank you. I will update you all Wednesday, I’m just praying it isn’t bowel cancer ????. I’m 38 and have 2 beautiful kids to live for.
None of us should ever be ashamed though. I always have been and still do feel ashamed for a short while but most of us had it originally for a purpose and it spirals and you are not even aware!!!
Before I know it I would work all day, take 15 39mg if codein at 6pm just to get that high and release from the stress off life. If the stress is there it’s even harder.
I felt alone until I found you though ladies and I am forever greatfuk, it gives me home that one day I will do it ????????
How is everyone else today, I’m just trying to chill, calm my anxiety about my procedure next week and trying to stay positive. My sausage dog is driving me insane though ???????????????? xxx
Hey ladies, missed you the last few days. Lovely to read back and see how well you are all doing ???? it’s tough but you are doing it!!!!!!
We went camping but I had to come home on day 2. Toilet troubles that I’ve had for many weeks now but now I’ve started coming down from 15 Zapain and night to 5 it probably isn’t helping. So left my family there until Sunday, feel awful but camping isn’t ideal in that scenario. Colonoscopy next Wednesday so please pray for me it is IBS or something less serious ????
At the moment I still can’t seem to move down from 5 Zapain , I take them all about 6pm but I have come down from 15. Think many of us need to be kinder to ourselves.
I think I asked this before but has anyone suffered with diorhea while using, before trying to stop. I’m wondering if the medication could have damaged or aggravated my tummy.
I’m just trying to not be anxious and rest before Wednesday as I don’t think that helps.
Xxxxxx
Hi Stacey
Welcome!!!! I joined about a week ago and honestly the support and inspiration in this group is so inspiring!!!
It has really helped me, I won’t bore you with the details of my other health and anxiety worries but I was taking 15 30mg codein tablets a day. It just built up and built up before I knew it. I’ve managed to get it down to 5 or 6 depending on how bad my day has been.
It’s tough but stay on this group, honestly it makes the world of difference. If you see others coming out the other ends it gives you confidence that we can do it too!!!
Don’t be afraid to ask any questions and we are all here if you need us x
I’m having a colonoscopy on the 10th August. Had diorhea issues for about 3 months now and the doctor felt a little bump on examination. Sorry if it’s a bit TMI but I know I have hemaroids so I am absolutely praying it’s something like that and I have IBS, but I have lower back pain so adding 1+1 and getting 100!!!!!!
Im petrified and feels like I need the evil pills even more at the moment.
Life can be so tough. I’m full of anxiety and as soon as you put it all into goggle it just tells you one thing … cancer!!!
Hope everyone is ok today, sending lots of love xx
I’m sorry to hear he needs more surgery. It’s hard not to pop the bills, especially when things are though.
I’m waiting for a medical procedure and I struggle not taking the tablets to take my Mind off it. I failed and just took 8 x 30mg of codein but I will try again tomorrow.
Well done you for staying strong and I hope your husband will be ok ????????????
Hope everyone has had a great day x
It’s so hard isn’t it. I’ve just come home after a shit day and 5 codein pills has calmed me right down. It’s hard to imagine being happy without it but I know we will all get there. So happy I have found a place to share.
I admire those who have gone cold turkey, I don’t think I could x
Hi ladies
Hope you are all well.
Sounds like you are doing an amazing job! It’s tough but you’re doing it and you should be so proud!!!
I’m still taking 5 x 30g Zapain, I can’t quiet move from this at the moment due to a really stressful job, I’ve just not got it in me and I need to find it!!!!
Hope you’ve all had a good day. Proud of you all ladies and thank you for keep sharing your experience xxx
