I am losing my sanity as I am addicted Codine syrups(rexcof).I

I need help..
I am aware of the consequences however i am addicted to rexcof codine syrp since 6 months or a bit more..i consume 3 big bottles a day.
If i abstain and try to leave I cant sleep,i get angry,depressed,very very anxiousa, i start getting pains in the legs and tightness in the chest..
I have lost focus on my job and family.
I used to enjoy a very health life earlier,i used to execersise but i moved to new city of mumbai and here its very depressing..everyone i know here is addicted spasmo proxy von and or rexcof.
I need to get out..
Last time i fought myself and somehow left..it was a nightmare..1 did not sleep for a moth or more..i lived like a zombie.. i have a broken relation and hv lost my job..
people close to me are unaware of my addiction as i am a good actor.
The relapse occured around 4 months ago and i am deep within it..no motivation.
no social contact.
I drink rex cof and in the evening smoke 2 joins of grass to feel satisfied enough to hit the bed otherwise i cant sleep.plus if i have rex cf i smoke around 30 cigs a day.
I dont want to sound like a looser but I feel very Lost.
all my dreams and ambitions have faded...
I dont want bad name for me or my parents...where can i seek hidden help..i have no money as i spend all my saving in these last few months...
I feel a artificial sense of detachment and my mind gets silent and peaceful only till it lasts and i need to drink again if i don't my mind gets so loud tht i feel i will bleed from my ears.
I have completly lost track of time..sometime i wake up without any idea of my location or time.
I feel i am about to leave my body but this goes on and on..promises made to myself just fade away..
Today I feel tht doing coke will help me rid of this initially till i regain my mind.
sometimes i want to run away so far away tht i suffer fr a month alone to get out of this state.
please suggest what practicle steps shoild I take to regain my mental balance?

Yo bro i hope you made it. If you need motivation then i did rexof for 13 years . 5 in a day. I went through rehabs but still i couldnt leave. Few of my friends Od with combination of spasmo . kamni cocktails of sleeping pills. But it didnt deterred. I am a writer had written three major projects i thought ill loose my talent if i leave it. But soon my repo started falling and no matter how good i was i was always looked upon as a nashedi.
   But i wont bother you with my personal story ill come to the way i left it. I had movee to a place where i couldnt get it easily so i decided its time , i started taking kamni a ayurvedic drug . but i made a rule of not going beyond 4 a day. I stuck to it for 6,months. Believe me when you start counting days you start feeling better. Abd remember there was a time you needed first thing in morning and now you have left it for X number of days. If you could not stuck with aim screw it dobt get discourage again start leaving and count the days.
   But important part is ypu dont get addicted to new drug. Take 2-3 pegs in night believe me you will get your sleep. Never take a drug at night its dangerous.
    Stop self pitting one day you will leave . for a year the life will be  **** boring but afer a year you will feel you had been missing that awakeness.
   And dont regret you took drugs . i take pride i took them when i was immature i dont give a f of what i wasted all i know is i escaped its clutches i am stronger . And even though i wasted a decade and half of my life i am happy i came back to life.

It was very sad to read about your situation and addiction problem. Since that was nearly 2 years ago when you posted, I hope your situation has improved and you're on the road to recovery.

The best thing I would recommend for anyone in this situation is to gradually ween off the drug you're addicted to over a long period to minimise the withdrawal problems. There are other things you can take to ease the symptoms of opiate addiction such as Kratom or Tramadol, but you have to be careful not to replace one addiction with another. Although Kratom and Tramadol have less addiction potential.

The most beneficial thing I have found to regain mental balance and sanity if you're feeling mentally unstable is both exercise and meditation. Exercise can give your life some routine and purpose and keep your mind focused off the drug addiction. Go running every morning, do sit ups, lift weights etc, and you'll get healthy and feel good from the chemicals exercising releases (endorphins). Meditation can have a great calming and centering effect even if you only do 20 minutes a day.

Hi dear i understand your situation completely,as i was in your shoes exactlymy addiction started from bombay,ruined by job,my relations everything,went cold turkey for 4 months couldnt take the psychological effects. one thing that helped was subaxon read more on it,in india its name is "coaddit" or try replacing rexcof with kamini or multani tablets.easily available in north india ,bombay i couldnt find. if u have already relapsed dont try to leave again for atleast 1 yr just try tapering it.coz even if u leave.u,ll win your fight against the drug,but lose all your fights,..ambitions happiness etc as your endomorphins will be completely depleted.b4 leaving , all your psychological problems like tension of your career ,girlfriend ,guilt ,your ambitions need to be at place wen everything else is fine then go for leaving the drug.at present forget about feeling weak or anything like feeling weakminded there is no such thing, addiction is hard and u cannot compare it with weather a weakminded person cannot leave and a strong minded person can leave easily .this guilt will kill u and is more dangerous than being addicted.
its like a more powerfull car engine compared to less powrfull car engine(weak vs strong mindednes) but if there is no fuel both the cars cant run so addiction is like petrol,so if u loose your endomorphins (search more about it)which actually makes u happy or sad are finished then u cannot be happy weather u become the richest or get all your fantasies fullfield.--what u need to do is---eat all your meals properly-------dont take protein diet at all -----rexcof increases protein absorption greatly and can damage your liver ,ur uric acid increases very much which cause pain in your joints legs etc.2)make sure u **** in the morning for sure-----eat fruits just as u get up.drink as much water as possible--which is hard so take lemon water.if u take rexcof with milk or tea start taking it with cold dring like maza which doesnt have much gas in it as all other cold-drings will further make u de-hydrated ,,which rexcof is already doing,,,due to which water retension will start to take place in your body and u start to gain weight and bloat .have soda lemon with salt without sugar ,this will cool your stomach ..have an alprex for stress release at night which will help u sleep better and help u **** in the morning.
execcive gas normally forms with rexcof and rexcof causes respiratory depression ,so to relese this  have "hinge ki goli" always with u.
-------as for alchohal ---it can help u **** in the morning for sure--but after alchohal effect is over u would want to have rexcof even more and it becomes a cycle,it helps u release stress for sometime,but eventually it can literally kill your brain. or if u start alchohal make a point ,u keep drinking it again and again for 3,4 days and dont touch rexcof .at all
and when in hangover u wont feel like having alchohal ,so u need to some friend who forcefully make u drunk again and again.
--if u can do the above things and start working on your job and other thing that will make you stress free for about an year and then try to leave --u will certainly leave and wont have much problem.--
+(plus have your life in your control and will be happy)keeping this in mind its happiness that matters along with leaving the  drug and not just leaving drug ,need to think about both the things parellelly and only u can think about it as none other can or will thinks about this aspect ------
----wen eventually u again go for complete stop-------dont go cold turkey---go for medical help----subaxon treatment--for 10days
wont have any withdrawls for sure as it has morphine which is 70% in the form which is non addictive.plus it wont make u high with cigarratee ,and i know people who smoke cigarrtee with rexcof cannot smoke much without rexcof. so help u leave cigaratte also---------then there is------ ibogain-----addiction interseptor a new discovery which can get u out of addiction in one day treatment ----not much in india but read about it, talk to a doctor to treat u with ibogagin,u can order ibogain online---serach and read about it ,its really a god gift for addicted people
but wont ever be available easily as if ibogain becomes common then who would they earn so much money that comes from addicted people
the most important  thing about addiction is not physical withdrawls
although the most immensely difficult part during which many people die or relapse.but the psychological withdrawl which wont give u physical pain but can make u kill urself as u dont bloody like a single thing about this whole world no girl even ur first love that gave u devine feeling lol!!,no car ,no sex ,nothing!!!! so make your life tension free and move gradually
as per your brain dont listen to unnecessary crap off people,normal person just cannot think what is a withdrawl effect .u are a very strong person already if u could go cold turkey for 4 months hatt off to u as 90% relapse in less than 10 days.--lastly as u said u also take weed ,if u can increase weed for rexcof  it ,ll be good as weed is not addictive as compared to opiates.another thing---always maintain a balance between sugar and salt.you must be taking a lot of sugar in tea etc,u must balance it with same amout food with salt and no sugar like namkeen biscuits,pop corn ,bhel puri etc-this will keep your stomach ,taste and tensoin ,in order.------not to mention drink as much water as possible in all possible formsdring salt lassi or chach what they call in bombay...goal guppa---pani puriinstant gas release and mood enhancer if troubled with increase sugar content......drink gatorade mineral energy dring----------for next 1 year try to to heal all your wounds about which u dont knowbecause of the painkiller(rexcof) u take---and these wounds cause even more severe pain during withdrawls as u stop the painkiller rexcof.--at the moment go get ur blood test from any dispensery tell the doctor everything and surely go alone .the test will tell u all the chemical configuration of your body like blood pressure,uric acid,sgpt ,sgot,liver acids and to what extend they r in the wrong side...and start taking medicunes for these chemical disorder lol!!! take care of your liver ,have liv-52 tablets,gassex tablets, one unani medicines which greatly help in taking care of your liver and your ***** is---KHAMEERA--U,LL FIND IN ANY AYURVEDIC MEDICINE SHOP,have jhandu pancharist this,ll make u eat more. ------so that next time u go for complete stop ,these disorder dont add more pain to your withdrawls ---i have certainly forgotten the spelling of withdrawals (i got it right this time)lol!!!!-dont worry just try to tame the drug in way that u can enjoy it,without letting this drug take control off u. best of luck.-------There many more ways of leaving it---but positive side is opium really make u learn a lot of about life,makes u intelligent,makes u understand the hidden side of life,makes u tough and only people who have the guts can go for these drugs and even experiance a withdrawl effects..so u r one of the lucky few who go through these experiance so be proud of your self.-if u dont feel like doing a job which i am sure u wont start thinging about a business idea and implementig it...and make use of the curse that is rexcof as off now into holy amrit as it really increases your thinking ability many folds--u r addicted bcoz god wants u to be addicted,u just have to find the right direction and see the positive side of every problem--as one possibility can be u become a great businessmen as u r addicted and if u were very normal u might have wasted all your life on a stupid job where they exploite you about which everyone knows but still do a job coz the ability to go against all odds is not there,,now u have the oppurtuinity.write your own future mate....listen to your heart and not your mind-will never go wrong

Hi welcome to the forum :)

The coke is not the answer, CosmicOrator.... another  drug to quit your drug of choice can not solve anything... You have said that you used to do a lot of exercise, this is your best bet here :) by exercising you will boost your natural endorphines...The way you are feeling now is not strange to any of us, addiction does this and the only way is to quit, to stop... You drink 3 bottles, you could try weening down your dose but this is really hard without help, most of us can not follow any taper plan by ourselves . You stopped once, you can do it again but this time, make some changes... Do you have AA or NA there ? i would advice you aftercare, this is something we really need, support from some other addicts, addressing our addictive behaviour...

Read the health pages ( right side of the screen ) .. the thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol where you can find some good advices and natural remedies to help with some of the wds symtoms and keep posting about any question you might have ... GOOD LUCK :)
