    Well done that’s amazing news!!!! ???? keep going, you’ve got this.

    Would you mind telling me how much you are cutting down per day. I’m reducing myself but I’m not too sure how many I should be withdrawing x

    I really hope it is, I have lower back pain too but at the moment I put 2 and 2 together and get 134!!!!! I’m just so stressed at the moment, dealing with my health and the codein.

    Codein I’m on day 3 and I’m only take 5 a day down from 15 , 30mg. I think I will give it a few days and go down again. I’m not really sure how to do it, I just know I need too xx

    Thank you for asking.

    Stay strong everyone!!! Honestly you may not see it but you are all so inspirational, strong and kick ass for talking up and doing something about it.

    Can I ask a question. Zapain – co codamol 30mg I believe Is suppose to cause constipation but I’m having constant diorhea for months, plus they’ve found a small lump on a internal exam which I pray is a hemaroid.

    Do you all suffer with constipation or diorhea?? X

    I can’t tell you the relief it’s brought of talking to you all today. I’ve kept this to myself for years, so ashamed and my husband doesn’t even know. Nobody knows and to be honest would ever expect it!!!

    I’m also having to go through a colonoscopy on the 10th because of the diorhea and looking to lose my job next week. I’ve never been in such a bad place and right now I thank god you’ve all answered and taken a bit of that pressure off.

    I agree, the nhs have prescribed these for years and yes I bought more on top which I’d my fault but they have still provided my with 150 each month that could have been avoided and helped detox from a long time ago.

    I admire all of you, we are good ppl in bad times. You don’t understand it until you are in it and that’s the hardest bit.

    But I think you all, honestly from the bottom of my heart x

    Thank you for replying, means the world honestly actually telling someone what I’ve been doing!

    The doctor prescribes me 150 but I buy the extra. 15 a day doesn’t sound massive but that’s 450 a month which is so embarrassing.

    Google scares me so much and has convinced me I may die from liver damage now and it’s too late. I try and take comfort from the inspirational ppl on here who have taken more for longer and stopped, survived but there isn’t much talk about the liver consequences.

    I’m so scared.

    Xxx

    Good Morning

    I’ve read through lots of posts and first of all you are all amazing!!! Reading through everything is a bit scary but I’m so happy I found Somewhere I can be honest and I really hope you can help me too.

    5 years ago I hurt my knee and my doctor introduced me to Zapain! I believe it’s 50mg codein phosphorite and 500g paracetamol. At first I started taking it as suggested but I would say for the past 3 years it has increased and increased , I now take 15 Zapain tablets at once every evening at 6pm when I get home from work. I’m busy through the day but when I get home I take them straight away to give me that relief.

    I’ve not been feeling myself, lots of diorhea the past 3 months and a bad back but right at the bottom of my spine. I go to the gym so thought it might be that and then diorhea maybe it’s as my duet it awful. Went to the doctors and bloods showed in increase in my liver enzymes and while blood cells I think so they have asked for a liver scan and a phone appointment to discuss my bloods in 2 weeks.

    I’ve not slept since this appointment 2 weeks ago. I’m absolutely terrified that my liver is so damaged that I won’t be able to turn it around. I keep telling myself if it was super urgent I would be straight in hospital but we know the NHS is overloaded. Nobody knows I do this, not even my husband.

    I’ve cut my zapain down to 5 from Thursday a day as I understand it’s not good to stop completely.

    Has anyone else had a similar experience, had high liver enzymes but recovered. With 2 children I will never forgive myself but it’s just happened over time, I don’t even know how. Im on google every 2 minutes and it scares the hell out of me.

    Appreciate any advice and support x
