coming off codeine
Apr 26, 2013 in the Addiction: Substance Abuse Community - 5
The worse will last 5-7 days if you don't take anymore. and your energy will slowly increase over the coming weeks. You just need to remember that you have been taking this for 10 years and your body has become use to the chemical in your body so it needs time to readjust to not having it there. All the best and keep us updated!!

Hello & Welcome, Good to see another Aussie.

You need to stop ASAP otherwise you will be killing your liver. I think you should go to your doctor and explain to h...

I find myself stuck with Tramadol

Hello and Welcome, I disagree somewhat BluCrystal, I think you can see there is a problem with taking these pills. I was addicted to trams and it was hell going through withdrawals. Not only does it have a weak pain killing effect but also an SNRI (anti-depression) properties. You should talk to your doctor about your depression and anxiety. As the trams w...

I would think that suboxone blocks the effects of tramadol. I generally would not suggest but maybe you should run it by your doctor
