Man, that Rikodeine really throws a brick at your brain and knocks you out but not in a good way... I've only taken medication with codeine one other time in my life (panadeine forte after a wisdom tooth extraction) - and I hated how woozy and half-conscious it made me. Same with this. Where's the euphoria?? Ugh. It did help me stop coughing all night but I've been straight up unable to get out of bed for hours. I guess that's what I needed, but it feels like crap.
It's so perfect outside, I want to go for a walk and soak up the sun on a nice patch of grass, but I feel too weak to right now. Yet staying in bed all day will feel gross too. I don't feel like watching anything either. ...maybe I'll sit at the entrance to my balcony for a bit and just do nothing. What a crazy idea!
That all sounds par for the course with opiates. Doing nothing in the sun is probably perfect.
