Hello everyone, this is my first post, but I have been a long time lurker and I am now seeking help and advice for getting off codeine completely. I have taking it for a couple of years now everyday via codeine linctus.
I am starting to despise having to go to the chemist just to buy a bottle and now a lot of places are discontinuing it it seems. I pretty much cannot be bothered with it anymore and it would be a weight off my shoulders not having to worry about procuring it everyday.
Right now I have 15 10mg valium tabs that I have and was thinking of using those to help with the withdrawals. I have of course had a taste of the withdrawal symptoms when I could not get any with the RLS and hot and cold sweats, which is horrible. I would MUCH prefer to do this on a week off, but would it be too difficult to also attend work whilst doing this?
How do I taper off the codeine exactly (maybe a stupid question)?
Thank you loads for any advice, Andy.
EDIT:
Sorry about that. I typically dose around 500mg a day (before bed). Thank you.
