Can you tell us more of whats going on?....In pain from something or from stopping the codeine?....You say you've been on it for ten years?.......How many did you take?  Are you still on it now or did you stop???

hi i have stopped taking them 3 days now im in a lot of pain i was taking 8 a day

[danatcathays]

what was the strength of the tablets?

[danatcathays]

ok, was it solphodine? if so each tablet has 8mg of codiene - or if you had prescription then more like 30mg of codiene - read my posts - i'm coming to day three - well i can still type, its been painful, very much like flu, but i don't feel as if i am going to sie - being positive and believing are important. Sounds like we were taking similar does. Thank God that its not esculated and congratulate yourself in recognising your problem.

Open up - and people here will help, they have helped me. I don't think i would have even tried if were not for the people posting here.

you asked about withdrawal symptoms - These were MINE

Aches all over the body - at times painful
slight anxiety - did lose breath once - but not alarming
legs the worst ache
no sleep

today, as above, but diahrea joined in.
Stomach ache

I was able to go to the shops later - that shows that you can live through it - but there is no way i could have worked.

On here is something called Thomas Recipie - i used it - us both from the UK, unlikely that you will get valium - so i replaced that with Herbal Kalms.

Vitamin b6 and L-Tyrosine can be bought in a health store - mutiple vitamins which have minerals - copper, magnusium etc

None of the baove are adictive and have helped me - even if its in the mind.

Never take anything with codeine again!
