I am 45 years old woman. I constantly take cough syrup containing codeine phosphate and chlorpheniramine or trypolidin like 5 bottles or more a day. I cannot become normal without taking it first. It makes me sweat a lot. Sometimes I used to pass out unconscious but later wake up. When I try to stop, I become sleepy, my legs hurt and cannot sleep, runny noise and no stamina. My eyes hurts I become restless and sweat so much. Now a day I take anxynil and alprazolam like 6 nos or more too. I do not mingle with my friends rather I like watching tv or readv novels. I eat my diabetes medicine like glycomet, bp control ,pantop dsr and some vitamins daily. I wish I could stop it. This isbmaking drink cold drink frequently. Its hard to sleep early. I smoke cigarettes. My weight turn heavy and I am now a fat one. Is there any hope for me to stop it all but it affects my financial condition. Is there any side effect just for taking syrup. Is there a substitute while trying to stop without suffereeinbpbpppp. please help me.

You have become addicted. Also please do thyroid scan. Reduce your cough syrup intake slowly don't stop abruptly and do exercises. Go for long walks in the morning and evening. You have to find time for yourself.
