I am now trying ti withdraw from a 40 year addiction to codeine It has been almost a week.I am under s Dr's care. The worst part so far has been treating an impacted bowel and pain.

Will someone please share what I should expect

Thank you

What to expect?

Sweating,IBS,shaking uncontrollably,no appetite,huge appetite,sleepiness,no sleep,the list is endless.

Been there,done that.

The urge to just want a little to take the edge off is overwhelming,the want to run away from yourself is tremendous.

Man I am with you,I remember the feelings all too well!

I have all day,If you want to chat with me,no problemo!

I've been on dyhydrocodeine for 9 years and I just crashed off them 10 days ago. Agree with KBC on symptoms but just fight it, it's passing slowly

Is it Cocaine-what you put in the title? Or is it Codeine-what you put in the question?

Good luck, not my past addiction, but they all can be hard. You can expect pure hell ahead for a few weeks, we are hear if you need to chat with us about what is going on at the moment
