Codeine addiction
Hi all!
This is my first time posting anything and tbh I’m not sure what I’m after, maybe some support?
I have fibromyalgia that I’ve been trying to manage on my own however I’ve had easy access to cocodamol. It’s spiralled from taking when needed to taking to prevent. I’ve had other health issues crop up because of it.
Anyway, I’m too ashamed to admit it to anyone in my life so I’m silently struggling and as you can imagine both my mental and physical health are worsening.
I’m very active and I eat as healthy as I can without hating my life more. I’m down to 1, 30/500mg cocodamol. I struggle all day and take it with my tea to avoid the worst of the withdrawals at night time. I’m going to attempt to go down to 1, 15/500mg this weekend and I just hope I can push past this.
I like to keep as active as possible and I’m scared that once I’m off them or as low as I can, I’m not gonna be able to do the hikes or physical activity as much. I’m single so I have no support from a partner and as I said I don’t have anyone in my life to talk me through this.
Thanks for listening! If anyone has any tips for me or even some support I would love to hear from you!!
