long term addiction

[gama995417]

my question is his I was put on codiene#3for a few years when i was very sick with hepc then i had other problems colon bleeding very( painful), restless leg syndrome, I am very heavy and the pains in my legs are at times unbearable. So I have been taking these pills for at least 8 years. My dr. tried Lyrica gabapentin andother stuff but nothing helped only codiene. Now my new dr wants to take me off of the prescription of codiene although I usually only need 2to3 a day. I never take them unless i need them which is usually in the morning because my legs hurt so bad. Should I seek another Dr. or get myself admitted in adetox she is set on just taking me off of them and i know there are side effects(withdrawels) she doesn't seem to care. I'm really lost as to what to do.

hi, one of my addictions was 30mg codeine, prescribed by my DR. and i did use more than i needed . so i went cold turkey from approx 180mg to 240mg, a day , it wasnt the hardest detox i had done,(alcohol and benzos) there are things to help you and make it easier, i wish you well , keep posting.
