I'm starting over again on Monday. I fail miserably everytime I try! No one knows I'm addicted to these cocodomol 30/500 (dr prescribed) I'm also on robaxin and have just learned on Internet that these can be used to withdraw. I will post updates on here everyday to try and stay on track. Last time when I was failing I stopped posting but I know now I will get all the encouragement I need here if I just keep posting...good luck everyone!!

    Keep trying Hannah. I know it's difficult but it can be done. I am nearly 3 weeks into my detox and I am down to 5 a day,now,down from 8, and it's going well so far. Still have my back pain but trying to ride it out. I am doing it really slowly, so it will take a few more weeks but that's OK. Hope you can get back on it on Monday. Good luck x

    I'm addicted to nurofen plus, I've gone cold turkey for the past week. I was clean for a year but relapsed a few months ago. The stomach pains are dulling now but nothing I eat stays down. I'm hoping this will pass very soon. Good luck!

      I'm new to this forum too, Pam isn't my real name lol, I don't even know where it come from.

      I'm feeling much better today, I'm getting my appetite back, my leg pains have gone too and I'm not being sick. I know once I'm feeling myself again that the psychological cravings will return so I'm gonna stick on here in the hope that I can talk through the harder times with people like urself x

      SO pleased you are feeling better today and in less pain and can eat again. I am doing a liver clensing diet as the Cocodamol have taken their toll badly on my liver and I am feeling a lot better the one thing i really notcie is the clear head.  I have put 2 co codamol in my purse to carry around to show me just how eveil these type of tablets can be (confort blanket too ) and I have left a sachet of them on the counter by the kettle so I can physically see the nasty beasts and so far I am not interested although I did get a craving for one last night but then thought about the horrible cold turkey effects and thought twice and didnt take them.

      Night times are difficult at the moment because my body is tired but my mind is working over time and laying awake all night is not helping at all hopefully this is just another withdrawal sypmtom and will pass.

      Well done on keeping at its and dont be tempted to go back and stick on here for the support  xxx

      Thanks for the well wishes, I find it so easy to be open and honest on here. I'm still deeply ashamed of myself for getting addicted to the nasty things. I've been really ill, half to do with withdrawal and I reckon because my immune system is down I've picked up a bug. I'm on the road to recovery tho and just dreading the cravings, so far I've had no cravings because I've felt so ill. Sounds like you're doing really well yourself too which is really good, let's keep up the good work x

    Hi hannah,

    I am starting over on Monday too I have failed every time too so we can work through this together. I have started taking something from Holland and Barrett called CBD which is completely legal as the high stuff in it has been removed but it is a step in the right direction as I have found its a great go between when tapering or cold turkeying. It does help alliaviate "real" pain too.  I am tapering til Monday then not sure whether to taper or just go for it. I am currently on 8 to 10 30/500 a day. I have tried so many times but i think it si effecting the liver now so doing a liver clensing diet along side getting off these EVIL red and white caps.  God Luck for tomorrow

    IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME smile XXX

      Thanks Rosie and yes we can do this together! Good luck and keep me updated! Is it actually called cbd oil or is there another name? I'll go get some today. It's funny because I know I'm starting tapering tomorrow I'm wanting to take more today!!
