Hi CTG...Your in for a ride.I think you should taper.With the amount of codeine you've been on, you can have serious withdrawal symtoms.such as seizures.. I was takeing 60 Norco aday and climbing. I went cold turkey, I did have some trazodone however, its an anti-depressant that doctors give you for sleep disorders... I went into a free detox center and all they do is watch you, and take your blood pressure every 4 hours..I hated it, cuz they do it ALL nite long..LOL....NO sleep...Once its over its over, you will feel refreshed and clear headed, and then the emotional dependence hits.

I think Kadee said it....go to your nearest NA meeting if possible, you will have many people to talk to, and they will have already been where your going.. Best choice I ever made was entering a twelve step program, it saved my life....It helped me with starting a new way of thinking, and liveing. Maybe u can get something for your sleep, try that Excedrin PM. Im not sure how strong it is against dope with drawals, but it might help....

I am happy to say that I will be takeing a cake on Feb....15th for my 8 year anniversary clean and sober. My life is so much better now. But I couldnt do it alone.I went to AA and NA meetings 3-4 times a week for the first 5 years or so...I liked it there ,so I made it my second home, made lots of friends that I still have today.. ONE DAY AT A TIME is there motto, it applys to almost anything in life,baby steps too..Its not going to be all better in one day.

I wish you the best and an easy come down...If you need to ask any questions, Ill be around, and I know theres alot of others that are going thru this same thing. They are on this board, so keep reaching out.....
IM A MESS Patti
