Hi I'm new here and wondered if anyone could give me some advice and help with my codeine withdrawal. I'm literally going through hell at the minute.
I'm on my 5th day of withdrawal from around 300mg daily of codeine. I managed to obtain some Tramadol for the first few days and that did help slightly but since I ran out of those it's horrible. I'm on the edge of giving up right now.
I'm doing this by choice as I just can't carry on using codeine for the wrong thing. It was initially for a knee problem I have but it just got out of hand and I was taking more more and more each time.
After speaking to the GP he prescribed me around 15 2mg tablets of Diazepam, 30 2mg tablets of Loperamide and 30 10mg tablets of Amitryptiline. These have all helped slightly but not much. I managed to get to sleep eventually last night but woke up at 4am and just felt so agitated and my legs were so itchy and weird like I couldn't stay still. Eventually I just got up and sat down stairs suffering.
I'm just so useless at the minute and have a wife and two kids so I just can't carry on like this. If anyone has any help or advice for me and if they have an idea of how long I have left of this living hell?
Thanks.
