Good evening all i hope everyone is feeling okay..
I was wondering if anyone could maybe share some physical symptoms they might have experienced when tapering off codeine? And also any mental experiences?
My relationship with codeine has definitely changed over the last couple of weeks…i feel like i dont need to take it but im scared to stop completely incase the physical symptoms get bad…im unsure whether to just now go cold turkey or still lower the dose every few days…i literally feel like im falling apart…i have so much going on with my body…some of which is definitely nothing to do with the blasted codeine but some im just not sure about…its making me soooo paranoid that im actually ill…or going mad…
I know everyone’s experiences are different but its good to share and i appreciate any advice ????
Thank you saintyone your words reassure me ???? you are doing amazingly and i appreciate yours and everyone else’s comments and experiences on here.
Im not sure if this relates to you or anyone else on this thread…but sometimes i feel like im in a dream…or that life isnt real….literally feel like ive lost my mind.
Love to you all ❤️
Hi guys hope everyone is doing well and feeling OK?
Just need a bit of information please. I’m tapering off from 60mg 3 times a day….I’ve been doing 60mg 2 times a day…and now I’m alternating so i’ll do 60mg or 45mg in the morning then 30mg or 45mg in the evening…when should I lessen this? And would I be feeling any effects of this? I’m so paranoid and anxious…my head is fuzzy and vision blurry….is this an effect of codeine? I’m so scared and stressed….I have other health issues going on too which isn’t helping with the stress but would I be feeling any different by reducing 15-30mg a day? My sleep is awful…wake up every hour or 2…I hate to moan but really feeling low ???? x
GUYS…i dont know if this is normal or not or if im getting really bad anxiety or what…palpitations really bad….heart thumping so hard….lasts about 10 minutes…comes and goes for no reason….
Saintyone…thank you for your words….I’m doubting myself…wondering if what I’m feeling actually has anything to do with withdrawal? Or if I have some kind of undiagnosed illness ???? my temperature will peak at 38 in the mornings…I’m sweating but cold through the night…freezing cold during the day with cold hands and feet…my back feels clammy…brain fog….and a bad bad temper..ectopic heart beats…panic…..if this is to do with withdrawal…how long does it last? Am I best starting up the codeine again or carrying on cold turkey? ????
Also…is there a way of checking replies on here more easily? I have to search the thread on Google and scroll right down to the bottom of the page to read any updates…
Thank you in advance ????

Im too scared to talk to my gp…i told my partner last night who ive been hiding it from for years…should i have gone cold turkey ????♀️ and now i feel like ive ruined it by taking some….i just want to know if what im feeling is down to withdrawals or something else…i feel really ashamed and silly and stupid…and worried ive messed my body up. Any help would be appreciated please. ????
