Opioids and Brain Fog

Summary

Codeine, 30mg combined with paracetamol, taken once daily, is described by a forum poster as freeing them from distressing brain symptoms and improving cognition on days they take it. Illness duration and severity beforehand are not stated. The benefit is specific to cognitive/brain symptoms; they note it caused nausea and did not help their bowel pain. This is an ongoing daily management strategy rather than a cure. No relapse is mentioned beyond the stated side effects and partial scope of benefit.
