Hello

I am on day 6 of cold turkey from codeine , i was on it for 15 years. i am at the acute stage, my legs keep me up at night, i eat a little soup and drink water and take vitamins

How long does this last, i am 62 and feel terrible but i wont give in i have come this far
 
Hello Tom.

At day 6 you are nearly past the worst of the physical stuff, codeine has a short half life and wd from it is usually pretty quick.

However if you have been using it for 15 years things are not going to come back to normal overnight.

You will most likely find it takes a while for you to feel good again mentally and emotionally.



For the rl's hot baths with Epsom salts or hot showers help also get moving as much as you can, go for a walk, do some stretching.


You can do it mate hang in there, things will get better.
 
I was a long night with rls hardly slept I take a hot shower soon. Getting out that's the hard part for me. But I will try

Thanks

Tom, I have leg jerking when laying down and I can feel it starting from the lower back, the only thing I experienced to remedy it is my Oxy pain meds, knocks it out completely. I have tried different nerve meds with no help. I injured my back many times when I was younger. GL
 
It's day 7 now. Have the chills and still like I have flu systems the reckless system is mostly at night of then I might get a couple hours of sleep. I am lucky when I decided to go cold turkey I could take 6 weeks off work. Man it's pure he'll but I read cold turkey is hard. But I wanted to stop codeine

I feel a little better but just want to get the physical withdrawal over and I will be strong for the paws stage

Thankyou
 
Stick with it Tom you are surely close to beating the physical part of this.

I know it is easier said than done to get out and go for a walk but it will help if you can, getting some sun on your skin seems to really help.

Drink lots of water and as soon as you can try to eat well. lots of fruits and vegetables.

There is a supplement called DLPA that you should do some reading about.

A good amino acid supplement may also be usefull.

Stay strong mate.
 
Just getting up. Slept for maybe 4 hrs last night. Still feel some flu like srages my body feels weak and tired. So now it's day 8. Looking forward till the day that I feel healthier but I won't give in I won't to stay clean. Eating mostly soups and toast and bananas. Taking. Vitamin c and b6

Thanks for your support
 
I made through the physical withdrawal my wife and Dr and me have my ne w plan I have bad bad arthrtis in both hands. The only med that works Tylenol 2 or 3. So I will taper down. I give my wife the codine and she now will give 2 in the morning. And then 2 at bedtime

I cannot have the respondablity to have them. I abuse them and have a addictive personality

So I am want to thank all that help. All I can say 8 days of cold turkey was he'll
 
To all that left me a response. Thank you I have a safe plan now. Really appreciate all you did for me

Much respect
