Hi there, first of all I'm ashamed to even be writing this but here goes anyway. I am currently on day 2 of codeine Withdrawal. (28 hours to be exact) I have been a codeine addict for probably 18 years on and off. I first experienced codeine (morphine) After I had my son in 2006 by C Section. I was given Liquid morphine then afterwards I was given codeine tablets to take home. I should mention also that I have suffered mental health issues my whole life. After my son was born I was suffering with extreme post partum, and I realised that the tablets were helping me to get through the day. Now there's a lot of stuff in between then and now, but long story short, ever since I have been using them to get through life. Not constantly, I've had lots of time off them, all through my subsequent pregnancies and a few times when I've felt strong, but the last maybe 2 years I've not been off them. Fast forward to now. My mental health isn't great, but I don't want to continue this into New Year. I ran out of Nurofen Plus Yesterday and I didn't have the energy to go into town so I just decided, right, I'm going to do this. The thing is I've done it lots of times and I know just how bloody hard and painful it is. The emotional and mental dependency I will deal with (I'm working on it) But lord knows I need the strength to fight the physical withdrawal symptoms. Please tell me I'm not alone. I want to be me again and be able to function without them and be the best mother I can be. If I can just get through this pain and discomfort. X
