Je ne prends de la codéine que depuis novembre, mais cela n'aidait plus pour mon mal de dos, alors on m'a donné du tramadol. Le tramadol m'a rendu très malade après quelques jours, alors j'ai arrêté de le prendre et comme la codéine n'aidait plus, j'ai pensé que j'allais arrêter tous les médicaments. Maintenant, je me sens affreux... quelqu'un a-t-il eu une expérience similaire ?
J'apprécierais tout conseil, car lorsque j'ai appelé les médecins, ils m'ont conseillé de réduire simplement la dose de tramadol mais de continuer à le prendre.
I think I replied to your other post too. Both Tramadol and codeine are addictive. If you were sticking to the prescription your withdrawals MAY be fairly late as withdrawals normally depends on the amount and for how long. As it was only since November I would personally believe the withdrawals may be light, by this I mean the first few days could be very uncomfortable but hopefully you'll be on the road to recovery fairly quick. Where as I was taking a very high dosage for a prolonged amount of time.... My withdrawals took about 3 weeks prob abit longer to start to feel normal.
I don't think you'd have to worry about that especially if you have stuck to prescription.
The dr may be saying that so you taper off to reduce the withdrawals.
Je suis nouveau sur ce forum, donc je n'avais pas vérifié ici en premier !
Oui, j'espère vraiment que le sevrage ne sera pas trop mauvais, je suis juste content de savoir maintenant à quel point mes médicaments sont addictifs !
J'ai été très émotive aujourd'hui, comme vous l'avez dit par intermittence, mais sans aucune raison.
It's all very common symptoms of withdrawal. Try taking some Imodium for your stomach. You may find it hard to sleep too and get sweats, this is very uncomfortable but again very normal. I was also addicted before to Tramadol before codeine.... Physical withdrawals I can tell you last roughly 4-5 days the worse being day 3 and 4. I know it's hard but whilst your going through this really try to go for a walk, it doesn't have to be far just get the body going. At the moment your brain is realising it has to start working again and some sort of activity like walking helps.
Good luck, withdrawals are hard but it's temporary, it's only a couple more days and then the physical aches and pains should be gone!
Here for you if you need to talk or just get anything off your chest!!
Yeh if you're in pain may be best to rest up your back. The sleepless nights were horrible. On day 3-4 I would feel tremendously sick all day but I would only throw up from 9pm-5am, I too had no sleep.
I don't think there's such a thing as light withdrawals, when I said I hoped your withdrawals were light I meant the period of how long they last. People who have taken codeine for an extended amount of time can develop PAWS which is where the physical withdrawals go and you're left with almost emotional problems which is what happened to me. Again though even that went after 3-4 weeks.
How I feel in myself now is really good! I'm no longer a hermit relying on codeine to make me feel happy. I've reconnected with a lot of friends I neglected, my social life has never been better haha.
I still think about codeine rarely but I see that for what it is and I ignore it.
I know the lack of sleep, sweating, restless body movements and everything else is hard, trust me I do but I can't stress enough that it's temporary, you will start to feel much better very soon.
I didn't.... I forced boiled veg down even tho I felt sick but I just ate whatever I could no matter how small it was. One point I threw up after it. My diet was dioralyte to make sure I didn't dehydrate from all the throwing up and diorhea. I had a banana and an actimel yoghurt to help my stomach daily. Banana is recommended for upset stomachs....
I lost 1 stone and a half.... So now I go gym to build mass haha.
J'ai réussi à manger quelques biscuits et la moitié d'une banane, mais cela m'a pris presque toute la matinée.
J'ai prévenu deux amis aujourd'hui car j'ai dû annuler les projets que nous avions faits, donc j'espère que ce sera
plus facile quand je les verrai.
Je passe réellement du temps avec mes enfants, comment ai-je pu ne pas réaliser que je ne me contentais pas de m'isoler mais que je les repoussais presque aussi,
Ce genre de prise de conscience est affreux.
J'ai hâte de me sentir assez bien pour faire des choses avec eux à nouveau.
Yeh, codeine is certainly a drug to numb your surroundings and the people in it.... Yeah try to get something in you just to help with energy levels etc.
No problem Gray! I'm happy to help....
After day 5 hopefully you will start to see the light at the end of this very uncomfortable tunnel!
Glad to hear you're still battling! Yeh your appetite will slowly come back.... Just remember how far you've come in such a short time.
I'm ok I'm hungover this morning, went out last night haha.... I didn't drink for such a long time whilst I was on the pills so make the most of it now I'm free from them
Yeh the hangover sucks but it's nice to have one in a weird kind of way!
Have the other physical symptoms gone yet? Queasy will last for abit it's been 5 weeks for me and only just got my appetite back to normal.... You managed many solids yet?
My jobs going well.... I hope haha! How are you feeling in yourself? I know the physical symptoms suck but I hope you feel ok mentally too.
Start of a new week, I'm sure you'll be back to normal soon.
