Taking 2 years to come of opoids, down to 1 tablet from 8.
Around  years ago I was prescribed Codeine to help with my pain, for around 4 years I was taking  8 x 30mg a day.

2 years ago I was referred to a Rheumatologist as I was having a lot of pain all over my body.  I got my appointment for June , this is where I found out I had Fibromylagia, the specialist went though everything I was taking, he also did a body check where he pressed on points on my body to see how bad the pain was, I also had blood tests. He diagnosed me with Fibro and gave me a plan where he wanted me to come off the Codeine but would need to be wean off slowly, he gave me 2 years to be totally Codeine free.

Today I am now down to 1 a day, I take that one at bedtime.  I will be Codeine free in a couple of months.   I am not sure how I feel since coming off them. In place of them I have been given Duloxetine.  These help with Depression and Fibromylagia, I take 2  x  30mg  daily, these are being upped to 3 a day.

I am hoping to see a difference in my pain with changing these tablets, I am hoping it might help with the fogginess, the brain fog  gets so bad I get myself in a right muddle. 

I know one thing I won't miss is that horrible taste that makes you want to throw up, the taste that lingers through the day even after brushing your teeth.
