It's great at a time like this you have a psychiatrist appointment (do you get on well?) Tell them whatever is in your head. Absolutely you should tell them about using codeine. If you're asking here then of course it's a yes. Go and make the most of your session. You will get through this, I know it's really hurting for you right now, it will get better. Stay in touch. Let us know how you went with your appointment. Thinking of you.
You need to be completely honest with your psychiatrist. Have you thought about a grief support group? Try getting some fresh air. Maybe walk around the block. You need to get those endorphins working again. Hang tight as this will pass.
You have to quit the codeine. That has to be your target. It is a tricky drug. Withdrawals may be get very uncomfortable but they are very short term. Cold turkey always works well. Tapering gets out of control. Stay hydrated during the process. And the mental aspect of withdrawals may take longer ranging from occasional cravings to feeling less of external world. But you need to make the right choices no matter what. Believe in yourself. you can do it. Doctor will help you but even with or without his help you are the one who has to fight the battle ultimately. You cannot hurt yourself for ever through drug abuse to subside your loss or emotional pain. Burning yourself never helps you or your loved ones. It just makes the matters worse. So, do good for yourself for a change and be in charge and choose and make a great future for yourself. God created you for good purposes. So make use of this precious life. I am sure your parents will be proud from your progress too. Crying is okay at times. Don't be ashamed of it. A day comes when you get stronger and know how to control those tears and when to let them flow. God bless!
The sadness and crying will pass. It takes awhile for our mind and body to heal from the abuse. There is no time limit for grief. I lost my parents too so i know how you feel. You feel like an orphan. I am glad you have someone to talk to about this. Being in our own head is a very lonely place. Keep talking to us as we so understand what you are going thru~
Reading this just reminds me of what I'm up for. I've been struggling off and on for 5 years. Got clean for 6 months talked myself in to just these few and that led to 6 months later. I'm just now on day 3 have the sneezing and sense of worthlessness and sad. Though w/ds physically aren't horrible the mental is a huge battle can't even get up and get going.anyways keep us posted with your progress.
All walks of live can become dependent on opiates it doesn't discriminate. I am so sorry your feeling so depressed and cry a lot. I did too. It will get better. Today is day eight for you woo hoo that is awesome. The mental part of withdrawal is IMO the hardest to deal with. Your almost through this. Keep posting so we can help you through this.
I am on day 3, took Norco 10/325 for almost 6 years but the worst of it has been these past 2 years, I've spent all my money, relationships through the drain and I'm only 27 years old. I have a 7 year old and it's now affecting him financially. This is my first real attempt to stop for my self.. I always read these forums but was to embarrassed to post. Ive lost great jobs and opportunities from these pills. I'm feeling OK today not horrible but sneezing, pooping, rls, and no energy. :/ I have a slight headache but not as bad. Typically I withdrawal only when I run out I usually feel like I'm dying but this time doing it for myself has have me hope. I wanna buy cool stuff again, go out to eat fancy again, lol go on trips! I did this all before.
I wanna save money again! The only thing that has helped me is marijuana it's legal here I'm los Angeles it helps with my anxiety and a bit of pain but when it wears off I feel it man so it's hard but it helps. My boyfriend had me walking all day on day 2. He doesn't know so I had to put on a happy face but I was dying I got home and knocked out but I feel ok. Please share your stories I'm in need of hope.
