opiate dependence
"Up until just a week ago I was taking 20 x 12/500 over the counter painkillers every morning in one go! I've been addicted to codeine for about 10 years..I woke up one morning and decided to call my doctor and finally admit to my addiction..she referred me to my local support agency. The doctor there put me on one daily 8Mg buprenorphine tablet. I haven't looked back since. Although they do make you drowsy and a bit nauseas it soon wears off. If you are fed up of the embarrassment of forever finding a chemist to buy your painkillers then bite the bullet and get help, honestly you'll never look back! Good luck"
