Question by Chris H: If you are trying to stop taking painkillers (codeine addiction)?
If you are trying to come off painkillers (Co-Codamol) and you go to your doctors for help, Is there anything he can give you to stop the withdrawl symptoms.
I have been addicted to codeine for nearly 2 and a half years and im getting to the point where it’s ruining and running my everyday life. I desperately want to stop taking them but the withdrawals are too much for me and i always end up taking them again. I cant do the whole cutdown thing, as in cutting down how many you take gradually. it doesn’t work for me.
I’m just a 20 year old normal guy. No-one knows about this addiction but i feel (for myself) i need to stop. Help would be really appreciated as this really sucks.

You might want to consider checking yourself into a rehab facility. Maybe not your favorite option but it’s probably going to be your best bet as they’ll probably have medications to help ease the withdrawl symptoms.
