Hi so for a bit of background info I have been taking Co-codamol daily on and off for a few years now. Mostly using it for anxiety/stress as initially it would make me feel relaxed. This feeling obviously faded over time as I guess I built a tolerance to it.
Now about 4 weeks ago I stopped taking it completely, had the usual stomach upsets that you might expect, loose stools etc. But over the last couple of weeks this has got worse rather than better and I'm unsure whether it is linked. For the past week now every morning I wake up with cramps and soon have to go to the toilet up to 3 times over the morning, also have some nausea, headaches, heartburn and just generally feel unwell.
I am seeing my GP about it but currently have no answers. Has anyone else experienced this after stopping codeine?
