Hi there, my girlfriend is 23 years of age and has been taking in excess of 30 tablets of co-codamol 30/500 and also tramadol for about 8 years, i have told her it is killing her slowley but she keeps telling me she is in pain with her back or her leggs or period pains or headachs, all of this is lies as she is just adicted to these pills, she is always awake at night and sleeps most of the day. i have taken her to the doctor and got very little help, she is very paranoied and she is very lazy and i dont know wot to do to help her, i love her with all my heart but i cannot support this kind of addiction. she is being given these tablets by a friend of hers on a regular basis and are not prescribed to her. i need as much information on this so that i may be able to shock her into comming of these pills and i will give her any support i can to help her with this. can anyone help please. regards nigel

Cold turkey is not the best option. Most people can't handle it and just regress.
Your girl friend should be made to understand that this amount of 30/500 co codamol will ultimately kill her. It damages the liver and kidneys progressively until they are too damaged to continue working. There are few real symptoms until it is too late.
Stop in time and the liver can recuperate very quickly. Reduce the intake by two tablets each two days, or one a day, and she should find it easier to come off them. Unless she does this she will definitely die because the paracetamol destroys liver cells when there is more than the liver enzymes can handle. A woman recently died after taking 16 a day. With 30 it is inevtiable through time.
If she can't do that see a doctor. It is her only chance. I am not scaremongering - this is well-recorded fact.
