I’m young fit and healthy and I’ll start by saying I was never told how addictive it hesr tablets are before they were given to me for gallstone attacks while awaiting removal of my gallbladder. This was 3 years ago. 3 years this month since I got addicted. I started on 6-8 per day. Went up to taking 3 at a time 3 times per day. Only this year did I go beyond that and I don’t know how it happened but I went from 3 to 4, to 6, to 8, to 10, to 12, now I usually take 14 at a time at least twice a day. I crave the warm tingly feeling they used to give me but no longer do. I realise people will wonder where do I get them as no doctor would prescribe that many, I don’t buy them illegally, I would never as who knows what’s in them, every pill I take comes from a real pharmacy. I began running out and switching to cocodomol but of course I’d need a lot of those to get 400mg of codeine so I learnt how to remove the paracetamol from the pills so it’s just sheer codeine. It takes 1 hour to do. I’m disgusted with myself that iv done all of this and I know where my nearest 20 community pharmacies are that I drive around too when I run out of pills to buy cocodomol but I need 6 boxes of those a day as I to two at a time, 3 times a day. So that’s 6 pharmacies a day. I decided enough is enough, I had pills left over and I just decided I’m done. Absolutely done. I’m sick of them pills controlling my life. So on Saturday morning I took 14 pills of 30mg each then I haven’t since. I didn’t sleep well on Saturday night then all day yesterday on day 2 I was achy and sweaty. I didn’t sleep much at all last night I woke up in a pool of sweat, I’m had terrible dirheea, I feel sick, my legs ache so badly. I’m so cold then sweating. I’m so scared how much worse it’s going to get and I just need someone to tell me I’m doing good here and not to give up and if someone could share with me when they did this what day they felt better
