The only help anyone here can offer is to tell you to see your GP ASAP.
Forget the addiction to codiene, what about the serious damage you are doing to your liver?
I agree with you, it is sad, if you continue taking these tablets like you are doing, your children won't have a mummy for much longer.
Paracetamol will slowly and very painfully kill you.
Seek your GP's help.

I am that concerned about the huge daily intake of paractemaol you say you are consuming I have decided to post a link for you to show the seriousness of your addiction to cocodamol.
I don't think you have stopped and thought about the amount of paracetamol you are consuming :shock:
The sad thing here is that as you are not taking them to overdose (suicide) the chances of you knowing you have caused liver damage could very well come too late for you (and your children)
Please do take the time to read the link below and think back to when you posted abput being scared of telling your doctor - think about how scared your children would be if one day they wake up to be told they no longer have a mummy.

16 tablets a day = 6 days (tops) supply from a prescription of 100 tablets. You state your GP prescribes them for you every 2 weeks?
Just how many tablets does your GP prescribe at any one time? 224?
The total amount of paracetamol you are consuming in one day is 8000 mg. :shock: :shock: :shock: 56000mg a week :shock: :shock: :shock: 224000mg a month :shock: :shock: :shock:
Sweetheart, you are in extreme danger of seriously causing damage to your kidneys and liver :oops: :oops: :oops: If you haven't already done so.
Do your kids a favour and tell your GP 1) you are abusing the tablets and 2) what a jerk he/she is for allowing you to have so many tablets to allow you to abuse your body. :roll:

Anyway three nights ago i started getting pains in my stomach, my heart racing a bit and started having hallucinations. I put the hallucinations at the time down to the fact after a night shift i only had a couple of hours, so therefore was exhausted.
The thing is when i am off duty, i do not need to take them, when i don't i cannot sleep, i am restless all night but exhausted, as i am now writing this.
I rang my gp who asked me if i am still taking Naproxen, i said yes (not as often as i should), he then asked me to try 15/500 cocodamol and see if i get the same withdrawal symptoms. Why he didn't tell me to take one 30.500 is beyond me but there you go.
The pains in my heart were horrible, but as i said this has only started in the past couple of weeks.
Thanks guys

Funny I didn't know they did co-codamol 15mg. In fact I know they don't it's 8mg or 30mg. How long ago was this posted.
