Hi, Hope you're doing well.
I'm now at day 5 of no Solp Max, been on and off them for last 2-3 weeks, slowly reducing intake up until days ago, then zero intake from thereon. I've been taking them for approx 4 years, and before that, Solp Plus. I was taking 6-8 a day. I tried to give up in the past, but failed, however this time it feels successful. The side effects have been very unpleasant, particularly the stomach pains, the tiredness and the hypersensitivity, feels as though I'm coming down with the early stages of a heavy cold, or worse, Flu. It's the cold turkey approach, which doesn't work for everyone, but I'm determined to stay the course and never use them again. I mentioned in anther thread that I lived in Ireland in 2014, and Solp Max is banned there, because of the addiction to Solp Plus. I think the drug manufacturer has deliberately created a highly addictive painkiller, with Govt help of course, don't forget they have to be licensed to sell them, also, their research would have told them that such high doses of Codeine (12.5% per tablet), is 'high', Just multiply that over a month, a year, and see what the numbers are, quite astonishing! high intake. and like you say there are possible consequences with liver damage and some other medical problems later in life. My GP surgery put me onto to them for back pain 7 years ago, and i thought about seeking help form them for addiction, but thought it best to try and deal with it myself, because, ultimately, only 'You' can come off the poison. Stay safe and keep the faith!
