Im starting to adjust more now I think. Its better when I dont think about codeine. Its funny how something that makes us feel so good can ruin our lives, the side pains still happen but Im hoping they are nothing to worry about, Its like a stabbing pain in my left side. But theres some changes I have noticed since I stopped taking them, I go through pepsi like theres no tommorow, I seem to prefer pepsi rather than cola, also, before, I could buy lots of chocolate and just binge on it, but now, my mum gave me lots of chocolate, but I only ate one bar, and half of my meal she made me. Im not sure if the codeine made my appetite bigger, or if keeping away from it made me lose my appetite. My clothes are feeling looser already though, so I'm not complaining there. The other really big thing Im noticing is I need to sleep alot earlier in the night and I wake up earlier in the mornings, and getting tired in the middle of the day.
Less eating more sleeping, bargain lol. The worst part is this feeling, like your body needs something. Kind of like needing a ciggarette, but its not being fulfilled, Im guessing its my body craving the codeine. I have started taking multi vitamin supplements, only this two month supply because of the lack of appetite and because Im guessing the codeine took all the vitamins away from my body. Its my pay day a week friday, may have a night out to celebrate, or buy myself something nice

Good for you!! So proud! .. I told you , you would CRAVE that Pepsi!! Weird huh? .. The Codeine makes people ( or at least me) hungry, and generally because its such a comforting med, people binge eat, like you were saying, not even realizing that they are eating huge quanities of food..
Multi or Prenatal vitimans are great. I am on a lot of different meds -- the one I am on for seziures b/c I have a lot of medical complicaitons going on, aside from this other crap.. makes me really dizzy and nauseas , so I don\'t eat very often. So I take a lot of vitiamans and supplments to help.
v8 has a really good drink out too.. it\'s a Strawberry Bananna Smoothie, that is like 4-5 Servings, in one bottle, Its really good -- packed with your whole day of vitimans and minerals and will keep you full.
Prenatal vitmans are just a good overall vitaman and are cheap. They have alot of weird crap in them good for skin and nails.. ( fish oil, Niacin, Biotin.. )
Keep up the good work, fight the cravings .. think about maybe going to some meetings so you have a support system of people you can talk with when you need to. )
I dont know if we have any meetings, I have never heard of a NA or AA meeting here, do we have them in UK?
I\'m going to try and find out for you..
Thank you, your sweet :)
