Withdrawals

I've stopped taking codeine cold turkey and I feel so bad. I've been working through it but. Constipation, stomach ache, aching legs, headache, just generally feeling miserable and gross ): I hope this doesn't last long

Awe poor thing, it depends on how long you where addicted for, but usually a week or two for the sickness to stop, my best advice and this has helped me, SLEEP through it. You'll heal faster and won't be conscious for the withdrawals. I'm proud of you btw that is no easy task it goes to show your a survivor!

I'm no Medical expert.But seek help from one. Some things can't be done cold turkey.I would say that codeine,being an opiate is one of those.

Opiates are notorious for causing seizures if you suddenly stop taking them... I know this, but taking the risk because I'm just so desperate to not take them anymore
Perhaps make a dr. Appt to discuss the possibility of seizures and if there's anything they could give you to prevent them?

Im sorry to hear this. No, doc wont allow anyone to stop taking meds cold turkey. Your body will get sick from that immediate stop. I hope you can see the doc soon.
