| Codeine addiction and surgery
First off I just want to say that I have been a very long time user of codeine and have just recently made the break from using codeine. I was taking about 160 to 200 mg of codeine a day. I did, however, have a 3 year break so I guess it's really only 14 years. Anyway I quit pretty much cold turkey with no medical intervention. I took lots of Ibuprofen and muscle relaxants for the pain. The mental part wasn't as hard as it had been in the past because this time I was really done with taking it. I have just received news that I will now require surgery and because of the severity of it I will have to be on some pretty major pain meds. I feel like I will lose everything I have gained up until now. And I don't want to start over again. I am tired of being an addict and I want to start living my life again. Does anyone have any suggestions?
