Was Addicted to Codeine, Now I’ve Just Relapsed and Feel Theres Something Wrong?
Question by Mary-ann G: Was addicted to Codeine, now I’ve just relapsed and feel theres something wrong?
I was severely injured and prescribed Codeine three years ago. I began to abuse the pills. Not to get high or anything but try to stop the pain I was in constantly, to get some sleep and to try and feel normal again. At only 15, I was desperate. In the end, I was taking 180 miligrams instead of the prescribed 30mg. Its something I regret forever.
Anyways, I was weaned off and had withdrawal symptons.
Today, something really bad happened and i turned to Codeine. Stupidly. But now something feels different. My skin itches, my limbs ache, I’m all jittery. Completely different from the relaxed and deep sleep of before. Is it because before my body was used to Codeine and now I’ve taken 150mg having taken nothing for 6 months?
I just feel so strange – like I keep unconciously digging my nails in my palm, like im nervous.
