I have been addicted to codeine, originally Nurofen plus up to two boxes per day but after totally destroying my stomach with the ibuprofen I switched to codeine phosphate 30mg up to 20-25 per day. To cut a long story short I have seeked help from my local drugs and alcohol team to get off them. They originally refused to help me saying that anything they could offer me would be a serious step up in my addiction but after me persevering with them I have been offered a lofexidene detox and was just wanting a bit of advice from anyone who has been through one. How bad is it? I am 100 % commited to giving up this horrible addiction but have 2 young boys at home and I'm just concerned about how I will feel whilst doing it. Thanks for reading

    Thanks Andy,

    After sleeping most of the day yesterday I have been awake most of the night even after taking a Zopiclone. My husband has a really bad case of cold/flu, he's had this for past few days (he's not an addict) and the way he's been feeling, sore throat, chills, is exactly how I feel this morning so as well as the withdrawal I have got his cold too I think. Lucky for me eh. I feel s**t and haven't managed to get the kids up and dressed for school this morning, luckily my partner is doing it. Nearly 48 hours since my last codeine, I will beat this!!!
