Here is what I suggest to get you over the worst part of the withdrawals.
The following treatment will help you not go through such agony as you withdraw from the medication.
To help with the withdrawals take hot bathes with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. The skin is the biggest organ of elimination and this will help pull out the drugs. Use a loofa to clean the pores and this will help pull the drugs out even faster.
Drink lots of water and 2c. a day of fresh carrot juice, to flush the medicine out of your liver. You can take 500mg of calcium and magnesium twice a day to help you relax. Drink chamomile tea throughout the day and evening to help you stay relaxed.
Use a powdered fiber supplement twice daily to pull the drugs out of your intestines where they can store.
Two of the questionnaires in this forum did follow this program to withdraw from drugs and it did help. I've enclosed a link where you can read their response to this program.
If you have any further questions please let me know,

Codeine withdrawal as the others have said can take months to fully get over. I am very glad that you were able to stop as not many people are. Before totally going off the medication you should have talked to your doctor. He would have been able to step you down gradually so you didn't have such withdrawal symptoms, or given you something else to help you get off of it. Right now the best idea I would be able to give you would be to speak to your doctor. He/she will be so happy that you were able to stop the medication I believe they would be more than willing to help out, and I am not necessarily suggesting that they give you a different narcotic to relieve some of these symptoms. I am sure there are many products out there available to your doctor for just this situation. Also keep drinking plenty of water, this might sound dumb, but it also helps cleanse your system even though opiates are said to leave or atleast be undetectable in your system after 3 days. Also another reason why you should speak to him about this is because in some cases those symptoms can also resemble blood clots in your legs, just to be on the safe side although they are probably the physical withdrawal symptoms.

There are many effects of Codeine addiction and withdrawing from Codeine takes months. Substitutes for Codeine must be prescribed by doctor, don’t do anything on your own.
