My personal attempt to overcome codeine addiction

Food intolerance/allergies can create severe migraines. Have you ever looked into possibly changing your diet? The tests might not come back as food allergies but only food intolerances (which are a little harder to determine). With all you've been through it is well worth a good try.

I started taking Codeine for my chronic headaches, then with prolonged use, i got addicted, I would take sometimes more than 32 tablets a day. One time I had (what I believed), paracetamol poisoning, so it was the one time that I decided to stop, I’ve gone through very tough withdrawal for a month, then I turned to Subutex, it gave me relief from withdrawal and suppressed my craving.

After 3 months of Subutex, I stopped cold turkey and went through hellish subutex withdrawal for 3-4 weeks. Now after a month, the Codeine craving came back, I relapsed once since.

Hi Guest,
I know it's been a long time since you posted all this but I was just wondering how you were going! Hopefully you're in a great place.
Cheers, MM
