The new troublesome symptoms would be the sudden and severe headache, and
the "too vivid" dreams. Aside from that it seems to have been a return to
the prior withdrawal state, except that her emotional state seemed worse
than before (can't say yet how significantly, tho). Getting full
information has been *hard*, because so often her only answer will be "...
um, I don't know!" Or, "I can't remember," etc., and she (in certain
too-frequent states) gets frustrated and then angry if I ask too many
questions that are too difficult for her -- and yes, I will look for a
remedy that covers this!
She's been ill for a long time *but* not with withdrawal symptoms; the
codeine has been for about 4 months (since the taro), and the withdrawal
itself began only a week or so ago, so I assume that prompt relief of these
would be "acceptable"! What confused and alarmed me was her very bad
response to the second dose, and that does seem related to the quote that
Rosemary put up.
Given the (?)"acuteness" of the situation, I wouldn't have thought that 30c
24 hours apart was unreasonable ???
I would have chosen to start with a lower potency *except* that she happened
to have 30c, and I did think that was low enough to suit. Maybe that was
the problem, I just don't know -- but I will do as you've said, and start
from the beginning re-taking her case. (Haven't reached her yet today.)
