neurophen plus addition

I have been taking neurophen plus, for 4 years now. I have decided to stop. i haven't taken one for 3 days now but finding it very hard. How long does it take for me to stop craving the painkillers, and for the medication to leave my system. after taking then for so long? its hard, but need to stop for my kids sake...
please help!

Day 3 is usually the worst, at some point soon (in next two days unless you are very unlucky) things will get much better.

I think your blood/urine will be largely clean now but codeine ( I think) can store in fat cells. The cravings will take a long time to go away, once you are over the physical WDs you will need to have a plan in place to prevent a relapse.
