I've been taking the oil at nighttime now for 4 weeks - building up the dose to about 8 rice grains. My aim is to come off my meds completely, I have already stopped taking Cymbalta (3 months ago), Cimzia (6 weeks ago) but I am still on codeine - been on it for 6 years. I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and have lived with chronic depression since I was 17 (57 now). It has been a battle to stay alive at several points in my life. Anyway - for the last 3 days my depression is back with a vengeance (suicidal) and I have diarrhoea and acid reflux. Should I be worried or this some sort of healing crisis with my body going through a reboot?
I realise that reducing codeine has physical and mental/emotional effects but I have been taking 30-45 mg a day for a month now (reduced from 120 mg). Any advice gratefully received as I do not want to give up 4 weeks in.
