I know codeine is considered weak and I might not take a lot compared to some people but here goes. It varies but I probably have about 3 bottles of codeine linctus per fortnight. Each bottle is 600mg and I take half each time, so 6 doses of 300mg every 2 weeks
I used to do it less, maybe 2 bottles per month but it's increased to a stage where it feels like I'm feeling crap when on it. I wasn't sure if it was actually caffeine withdrawals as I also stopped that and they have some similar affects, so I'd ask what you guys think. Runny nose often, yawning, no motivation to do stuff unless I have to (I still socialise every week but if I don't have something planned I just sit around), general irritability, very cold even taking into account it's Winter, bad mood but not quite depression
It sounds like codeine withdrawal from what I've read. I don't want to quit totally as that sounds like the effects are harsher, I want to taper off. I ordered a few bottles recently and I want that to the start off the tapering off. Are there any good guidelines for how to do so?
I take 300mg each time so I was thinking I take that, then do the same the next evening. Then leave a gap of one day and take 300mg again. Then a gap of two days before taking any and so on, increasing it by one day everytime
Thoughts?
thanks
