Sorry for repeated posts but I’m really struggling now. I’ve been a codeine addict for 3 years. I’m 5 weeks clean today apart from a small relapse 2 weeks ago. I did just one CWE on a 32 pack of 8/500 cocodamols. 3 months ago I took Diaz for a month. I took 30mg at night every 3 days. After that month I experienced a week of mildish withdrawal symptoms. Just foggy brain and nausea that wore off during the day ( maybe my codeine habit masked it a little). My benzo use previously before the month of Diaz has been very limited. A couple of times I’ve taken it for 2 or 3 days at a time but that was maybe 8 and 12 months ago. I’ve also taken zopiclone as prescribed for a week at a time maybe 4 times since October last year. The last time was just before the 4 weeks of Diaz so I did a week of 7.5mg zops then straight into the month of 30mg Diaz every 3 days. So after quitting codeine 5 weeks ago I had a brutal 2 week withdrawal. Worse I’ve experienced. Then the following 2 weeks were great. I felt almost 100% again. Now this last week I’m back to square one. I have all the physical symptoms of anxiety but without any worries in my head. Tingling of the arms and back of hands. I’m jaw clenching a lot, bad ringing in my ears, nausea, pressure headaches and sleep troubles. I thought maybe the small relapse had triggered another withdrawal but that was 2 weeks ago now and these symptoms didn’t appear until around 5 days after the relapse although I did feel crap the morning after the relapse. I’ve read that benzo withdrawal comes in waves. Surely this has to be due to the diazepam. I can function but it’s very unpleasant. I do a very manual job and this helps the symptoms subside and at the end of the day I feel ok, not 100% but ok. These symptoms are most intense as soon as I wake up. It’s driving me insane not knowing what this is. It’s 3 months since I took Diaz. Is it possible it’s still effecting me now? People on benzo buddies group seem to think it’s very possible. Or could it be rebound anxiety from stopping a long codeine addiction. What should I do. People on benzo buddies suggest going back on Diaz and doing a taper. I don’t want to touch a benzo again. I don’t understand why I have had periods of 1 -2 weeks of feeling completely fine since that Diaz use 3 months ago and then get back to square one. I’ve had full check ups and bloods done by my GP that all came back clear. Could that relapse codeine dose cause this rebound anxiety? I mean I’m assuming it’s anxiety but don’t know. Like I said I don’t have an anxious brain but looking at physical anxiety symptoms I tick a lot of the boxes. I’ve never suffered from mental health concerns before in my life so it’s not like I’m returning to a pre drug state of mind. I just don’t know what’s causing this and therefore don’t know what to do about it.
