Nurofen+ & codeine addiction

Hi, all i can say is please seek help, when you are feeling low it's because you are on a comedown, everything you are taking is related to the Herion family. I am now 1 week and a half into going cold turkey from 30/500 cocodamol and soluble solthadol(so it gets in my system quicker) I am now starting to feel myself again after 2/3 years. Cold turkey for me was so horrible, I was emotional, down all day, sweats, stools, couldn't sleep. Then the last few years of heartache, loosing my house, lost my dad hit me all at once. I was also adamant my wife was cheating. I took these tablets to block it all, which it did a hell of a lot, keeping me high all the time. Then when I decided enough is enough i stopped just like that. Then a day later I broke down at work. I went to the doctor and told him what I had been doing and he advised that I Weend myself off but I told him no I don't want to take anymore of these tablets, he prescribed me diazepam for 3 days, I know it's still early but I'm feeling ok. I am taking it day by day, I hope you get well soon

One things for sure my friend, your not going to be able to do this without the help of a doctor. .I'd say three's a good chance that your wife already knows there's somethig  going on. It's like looking in a mirror every day, we hardly see ourselves growing older.. A while as a codeine addict and everyone who knows you sees the difference, but most people will think you have some stomach trouble or whatever. One thing about the liver, even when it's been damaged by nurofen plus and the like, when the pills are stopped the liver can actually rebuild itself again. When my addiction was as severe as yours I knew something was really going wrong when sometimes for maybe three weeks all I wanted to do was sleep, I hardly had the energy to get out of bed. And I was buying the nurofen plus onlne from a nearby country...I looked terible and when my skin was beoming increasingly yellow i knen this meant jaundice and real liver trouble. My wife a quiet, decent person stood by me and I'll never forgive myself what I put her through. I went to the family doctor and explained I was addiction to codeine and tablets containing codeine for almost fifeen years. He was stunned that I was still alive when I told him the amount I had taken and he said if I wasn't a big man 6' 3''  I'd have been dead long ago. But my liver and kidneys are damaged but not tatally so he put me on a reducng dose of codeine and finally I was down to taling twelve nurofen plus in the mornig and the same at night. This should have kept the worst of the witjdrawls away but it didn't and I found out I had developed what might be called a mental depondency. I convinved myself in my mind that I was not taking enough nurofen plus and my mind was overiding the twentyfour tablets I was taking every day  and the withdrawls returned with a vengence. My doctor explained all this to me and he was really angry that such an addictive drug was easy to get. Anyway he ptescribed diazepam to take at night and as we live in a small town and the doctor passed my door on his way home at night he slipped the correct dose of diazepam and codeine through the leterbox.  When you make up your mind to try and kick this addiction what you are really doing is engaging in the fight of and for your life and for those who care about you.  There is no shame to go to the doctor woth this problem.....the facts are that doctors and nurses have a higher rate of drug and drink problems than most of the population.  I couldnt hofe my addiction from my wife and I doubt if any serious can. So if you think it's possible it would be very beneficial to include your wife in every stage of your recovery and that includes doctor visits.  Believe me no one will blame you for the cycle of addiction you got caught up is, but itl's and tough, but many have made it through and once more became the people they were. The man your wife loves is still in there and itls going to take a great effort from you to set him free, but I and thousands more have done it and so can you.............the best of luck to you friend.
