It's good that you didn't take the cough syrup. It sounds like you just want to get this done and that would have set you back a bit, mentally and physically...After 6 days you SHOULD be turning a corner here...
What symptoms are you still having? Maybe we can help with that...
Thank you Debbie, I called my dr to maybe give me some advice on help with the withdrawls and he tried to prescribe me Tylenol 3 again! I think my dr really does not care about helping me and that is scary. Motrin and baths are helping but the headaches and night sweats are horrible still. I've been sober (I don't know if thats what you call it) for 6 days now and I'm surprised the symptoms are still so strong but I was taking a lot of codeine and functioning normally. Trying to hang in there and I didn't take the cough syrup because of your encouragement thank you
Hello and welcome.
If you take codeine you will prolong the withdrawals.
3-5 days the worst is over.
Stay hydated. Gatorade.apple juice,water.
Take hot bath with epsom salts.
Stay positive. Try to move around.
That is great you have your husbands support.
Sending hope,encouragment and prayers
Debbie
