Hi I have decided to stop taking the 60mg per day codeine dose my GP prescribes for my arthritis. I have been taking this for around 18 months. I am day 3 and I am so headachy. I would never have considered myself addicted but I obviously am and my GP keeps prescribing without any follow up. I can see from comments that there are many people like me good luck to you all. My god I try to eat so healthy but I am filling my body with codeine crap. ????
