9 weeks post therapy. Throat pain very slight.Have come off codeine.Don't know whether I'm having withdrawal symptom s, but I feel dreadful.Flu like,can't sleep and tummy upsets.

Anything I eat or drink is becoming more tasteless. Don't look forwArd to meals at all.

Constant sticky saliva and occasional dry mouth. At this moment I feel like I've gone backwzrds.So fed up of not feeling well !

Hi  9 weeks post treatment might seem like a lifetime in reality it's really early days for you quite often you have bad day is nore got days and eventually turned round and have a good days and bad days. Just keep up the nutrition I was in 2000 to 2500 cal each, and every day un'p ti  3 L of water. Remember it's a marathon not a Sprint. I know I keep popping on about it but it's a case of been there done that got the T-shirt.the 3 month mark is a milestone thrn 6 month mark a big turning point. Cancer treatment is brutal at best of times when your mouth and throat it's one if the worst But read my blog there light at end if tubbel

Anyone on soluble  codeine and paracetamol?

How long have you been taking them for ?

Hi I was in both was around 3 month when I weaned off the fi codomol and a few weeks after the paracetamol. If yours in pain do a phased withdrawal. Change the 30 mg to 15 mg  a period of time one tablet a time to 15 mg the same to 8 mg.

Hi Hazel, thanks for your reply.

I was prescribed 20 ml of Codeine and 1000 mg of paracetamol, both four times a day..

I was  gradually weaning myself off the soluble codeine . From 80ml a day to 30no . I then accelerated the timing and stopped taking any. I think I came off the drug too quick, because I've experienced headaches, diarrhea, nausea, aching limbs and incredible fatigue, all of which are recognised symptom of Codeine withdrawal.!

The thing is you don't know how long you're supposed to be on these medications for.

In my case it's been over 3 months. The pain in my throat has subsided to a point where I thought I could readily come off Codeine, conscious of the fact that this drug is an opiate to which long term use could lead to a dependence/addiction.

Hi speak to your cancer nurse ir Macmillian nurse if yiure still in pains or try 8 mg cocodomol for a few weeks.  There no right or wrong time I know people who were in opitates 6 mjnths ir more did phases withdrawals with. Imi

lastung side effects.  Uts the accelerated withdrawal that causes issues.
