I’ve had severe social anxiety as long as I can remember so found it really hard to go out anywhere a few years ago I pulled my back and the doctor prescribed me co codomal 30/500 found out the codein effect I had off them stopped me from being anxious and I could finally function normally without a care in the world but obviously the tolerance would kick in and I’d have to take more for the same effect in the end I was taking 10 a day to sets of 5 and I would CWE another 6 because I was worried about my liver I stopped taking the over 24+ hours ago and I’ve had some withdrawals already bad head,light headed,diarrhoea and bad stomach pains but it’s better than what I was feeling taking them towards the end was tired all the time and having really bad pains in my stomach and in my lower back where my kidneys are hopefully I’ll get off them going strong so far will keep you posted if side effects get worse.
Good luck! I’m only at 12 hours myself. I was taking 8-15 a day. I have a bad back and joints. I can feel the pain again but no withdrawal symptoms yet. I used them to feel better when I was anxious as well but as you say you build up a tolerance. I’ve gone cold turkey before and had the same symptoms as you, but I managed it. I was starting to feel awful on them too. Horrible stomach cramps and so tired and lethargic. I wish you all the best. We can do this! X
Good luck to Louise it’s hard but it’s better than being on them you can do it 😊 2 days in now had few bad stomach cramps this morning, runny nose ,bit light headed,body is aching and felling a bit tired but not that bad can deal with it
Yeh I’m feeling light headed myself and a bit out of it, but it’s nearly 24 hours and I’m not going back now!
Your doing amazing 😊you can do it!!
Thank you ☺️ I feel like crap physically but I managed a whole day at work and mentally I’m feeling better about myself. Over 24 hours now. Hope you’re hanging in there.
I’m going ok thanks withdrawals haven’t been to bad last few hours bit better than this morning in a bit of a snappy mood tho lol
Yeh I’m a bit irritable too and noises seem really loud. Going to have an early night and hopefully tomorrow will be better.
😊yeah you can do it your already getting through the hardest part hopefully by next week we will both be feeling great
