Day 4 c/t coming off codeine - corner soon?

[CandyDay]

Hi I am at home and it just doesnt seem to be getting better. I know it will but looking for that corner I will turn when I really start to feel better physically.  Doing all the things suggested but book recommendations welcome as can't seem to focus or get into one to help me pass the time.  Worst symptom cold sweats but also this horrible fatigue but not being able to sleep. Also weepy. Any words of wisdom? All will be appreciated!

Thanks, it does feel better.  I did just 15 mins of light exercise, endorphins still there. Wish the weepies would go, they are the worst part today.

Ok day 5. Slept ok but had some lemsip before bed to help with the symptoms. Hope that's not cheating?  Still with the chills and this weird brain slower than my head thing when I move around. Also normal? Feels similar to when I miss an effexor (which I haven't).  Maddeningly slow progress but progress I hope.  Anyone out there who can shed light non day 5 I'd love to hear from you

Baths baths and tears. Feel low low low low. Off to exercise. Please come endorphins!

Your doing great!! Your post seems to be exactly where I am, day 6 here. Wow a couple of days ago I was an emotional disaster, but it passed! It will for you too keep exercising, it helps. Like you, my brain seems slow, but i can actually feel things now, and even though i dont feel great.. Being able to feel is a great feeling if that makes sense. I think yesterday was a huge day for me, I felt really good all day. Today i woke up a little sick to my stomach, back pain, and extreme fatigue. BUT i know We will have these days and I have learnt to accept it, as I think this is "normal" life. keep fighting... Remember I am right there w you, holding your hand, no turning back now.....

Are you home? I am not sure if staying at home helps or hinders.  Yes I know what you mean re feeling again.  Are you crying loads? What gets me through each hour is knowing my body was so addicted it is having this extreme reaction, which proves i needed to take action.  I would just like some hope that my effexor will kick in and help me get some joy and energy back.  But lots of the info i am reading says 3 months.   Long time only 5 days in.   But not as long as yesterday.
