Hey man, you're doing really well, just gotta tough it out a little longer.  Each minute of feeling bad is one less that you'll have to deal with.  A couple more days and you'll be feeling a lot better.

[deanoiom]

feels very very deppressed  today!!!! It dosent help that my Girlfreind of 4 years is at uni 6hours away but would have to get a plane as well and i cant aford to get there as the plane alone will cost me

[deanoiom]

i have been caining dvd boxset!!!! All comedy, had my first real meal tonight :) a small one but still a full meal. Just wish my inturnal plumbing would firm up though, not half as many times a day though which is good, atleast most of the sicky feeling has gone just a little bit every now and again and i feel the end of the tunnel is getting near :) thanks again for you support ppl x

[laurel453]

you have gone through the worst , deanoiom... problems with sleep, energy and some muscle pain are the physical symptoms to linger longer ...and sure, the mental battle is tough but keep your spirit high and positive :)... take a hot bath whenever you need it, drink a calming tea and try to stay positive at those hours at night when our minds start playing ...watch a funny comedy :)

[deanoiom]

god damn insomnia :# touch wood not feeling that sick its 6 and a half days codeine free :) and although its 4 in the morn i kinda feel like me, but i may just run a hot bath and sit there for half an hour legs and back are killing at pressent.
I'm so very happy i came across this sight it given me knowledge, support and a place to put down my thoughts and for that i thank you all for taking the time to reply x

It is extremely uncomfortable regardless of what drug the withdrawals spawn from...it is all pretty much the same miserable feeling.  Yesterday was horrible for me with throwing up and anxiety levels through the roof (first time in my life I have experienced anxiety) - the emotional and mental aspects of this are almost debilitating at times.  Keep your head up, you have all this time under your belt and the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer by the minute.  
This place is awesome, not only for the support and encouragement, but it provides you with an outlet for your feelings.  
You are doing great and you have almost got this.

[deanoiom]

is hoping that this is near the end!!! Didnt feel to bad for the last 4hours but the god damn sick feelin is startin to creep back in just as i was starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

[deanoiom]

ps thanks everyone for the help and support. My thoughts are with everyone who is going though this as i am!!!!!

[deanoiom]

i never thought it would be this hard or i would feel so ill, in the past i have given up xtc, weed and smoking with no problems but these pills the dr gives you to feel better and you have to go through all this. If only i knew what i was getting into, this substance should be made illigal!!!! I will never take any opium based substances again full stop........................
For my tea today i managed to force down 2 scrabled eggs and a slice of toast. Will my joy of eating return soon??

hang in there it will get better .this is my third withdrawl this year. I m doing this cold turkey I am on day 6 .  I keep going back because I have real pain .  migraines are the worst.  by day 10 you will feel like your old self again .  I need to ask my doctor for less pills, less often. But I do need pills to control real pain.  No more than 10 at a time.  it takes about 3 days to become addicted .  I will never allow myself more than  10 pills per script.  You can do it.

[deanoiom]

its now gone 4pm which is the start of the 6th day codeine free, still dont feel any better yet, i hate feeling sicky :( keep gettin emotional today as well, but the feeling sick makes me so deppressed is there nothing i can do???

[iwannabefree]

Hi I am on day 12 from codeine withdrawl. I k now exatly what you are going through, but believe me when I say that you just have to be brave and take it one day at a time and eventually you will be ok. Its a nightmare, but I suppose if it were easy we would go back to it over and over again until we end up killing ourselves, so this is the only way it can be. You need to buy some immodium. That will help the stomach cramps and stop the diahhea. The worse part of the second week for me was the lack of sleep. Backpains and lack of sleep seem to be pretty much what most opiate users experience in their second week. Because I am just coming towards the end of the second week I have found today I actually felt ok. Its a process of feeling a little better every day until one day you feel close to normal again. You just have to take it one day at a time.  

[deanoiom]

feel dreadful today, was woken by tummy pains and a run to the loo, these last 5 days have been some of the worst in my life.
It wouldnt be to bad as i can handle the pains and the needing the loo all the time!!
It is the sickness that is killing me, it just feels like it will never end hope it does as i'm struggerling to eat due to this sickness!!!

[vicki595]

Yes...it's a drag to be alone going through this. But,now you have the forum and you can post here any time!  

I'd say about 10 days in total to feel much better. Everyone's different,though. You could feel better tomorrow. You just never know...always expect to be pleasantly surprised!

Try to sleep now and post back tomorrow...( or later on today in your case).

[deanoiom]

im just going to try and sleep on it tonight as its nearly 2am. How many days on average does it take for all the pains and sickness to pass.
i am never goin to take an opoid again after this i will be so happy when i feel like me again i hate being ill and being in pain. It doesnt help that i am alone as my gf is at uni and is a plane or boat away!!! :(

[vicki595]

Yes, a lot of people experience back pain. Get in a hot bath. It really helps.

It's NOT enjoyable at all!   So, let's hope you never go through this again!

[deanoiom]

i hope so really not enjoying this :( at the moment i am also having what feels like kidney pains is that normal??
thank you for your time

[vicki595]

Just hang on. The waves of withdrawal will become less and less now. The worst thing you can do is to take codeine.  You'll just be back to where you began.

5 days is great. Try to get some exercise,it really helps.  Hot baths,several times a day will feel wonderful.  Be sure you're eating and drinking!

Keep posting!
