I've been taking about 10×30/500mg of cocodomol for almost a year now, today is my first day of coming down off them, I took 2 this morning and 2 at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but all I've done is sleep all day, do you think this is because I've took less today?

    I remember when i decided to tell my doctor about it! And i knew once i did that id never get codeine ever again and it was a relief tbh! I injured my back when i was in Afghanistan as im a soldier in the Australian Army. I didn't have to go through withdrawls as my doctor put my on suboxone which was fantastic! No withdrawal symptom what so ever and that's a option you may want to look at if it becomes difficult especially if you work! Keep it up im sure you will breeze through it! :-)

      Excellent that's really handy advice, I'm going to say to my doctor about it because when I have none left that little devil in my head may start saying just put in for a prescription for them, I'm down now to 4 a day, which is really good for me, then 3 tomorrow and so on, thanks 😀 again

    Just wanted to ask I’ve noticed that my whole body has come out in some sort of rash white/skin coloured spots all over me mostly on thighs and the tops of my arms but my chest and back too iv lost a lot of weight too also I have some spots on my scalp which arise causing discomfort especially at  night. I’ve read about an over active immune system caused from taking nurofen plus which is basically your immune system attacking itself because of the ibuprofen I’ve had this for a while but it still hasn’t stopped me it’s making me so depressed knowing that I’ve been off them and been clean before and it just made me depressed as these are the throngs I look forward nothing g else seems to make me happy which is really sad but true at 20 years old can anyone help? I’ve been due to go to the hospital for a long time but I’m just too scared of the news I’ll get I think I’d rather not know... Marnie xo

      Sorry on hear this, even if you don't know its not going to make it go away and you will always be worried, sounds like your stuck in a vicious circle, that's addiction but, you can get out it, please go to your appointment, and put your mind at ease, I never knew you could get spots, rashes and stuff with them, your only 20, so young, you can beat this and you will look back and be glad you sought help and went out your appointment, I feel better even sharing on this website, good luck 🍀 xx
