Glad ur tryin to get help :)

What you buy there is similar to vicodin here and doctors believe the tylenol in the vicodin is what gave me renal failure. Taking more then prescribed is dangerous. I was in the hospital for 3 days while doctors worked to get my kidneys working again.

You can buy that stuff otc over there. Hope that never happens here!

Not sure what you are asking us but I hope you get help for your addiction before it end's your life like it nearly did mine.

Good Luck!

Im not sure what Im asking either, just writing it down felt a bit better

Hi please try and get help God bless

One good thing is I have run out of them until next friday and I will try not to get anymore, if I have to do this for a week Ill try and keep it up

May I ask, what is your daily dosage of codeine? And, are you doing cold water extractions on the pills to remove the other ingredients? I, too, use codeine/paracodeine pills from the UK and you MUST be careful with these...

If are not extracting out the non-codeine portions, you could be in for a world of trouble. Acetomenaphen and ibuprophen will destroy your liver over the long haul. Fortunately, I get pure pills through the chemists there for drug maintainence therapy, so this is not a worry for me.

I suggest you just quit now. Codeine withdrawal will feel lousy. Stepping up will be even worse. Trust me.

i take the whole things with the other stuff in them too

The 8/500s or the 12.8/200's, no doubt.

If you are doing more than 5 of the former or 12 of the latter per day, you are putting an awful strain on your liver.

If you are doing amounts at or higher than above, and you opt to continue, you must do cold water extractions or risk injury (you can research this easily on youtube or elsewhere). Hepatic failure, not a nice way to go. Really bad.

If your daily amounts are less than above, stopping will hurt, but not too bad. You'll have a few days of nausea and pain, and a longer period of mental cravings, but you will come through it.

Only other option? Step up to the harder stuff, and you really do not want that. Once you go that route, you can never go back - the addiction will begin to run your life and the withdrawals will be a horror. Even if you do quit, you'll spend your days craving drugs and fighting back the temptation.

Quit now while you still can. Trust me on this.

Sometimes i get 30/500.
but with the lower ones, I usually take about six in 4 hours.
Good thing im not awake for alot of the day

But I havrnt had any today, Im mentally telling myself it will all be ok, have work to distract me

When I lived in Ohio, in the US, you can buy codien over the counter from a pharmacy as well in cough medicine form.
Addiction is a horrific thing and I just hit my 2 months clean mark. I was addicted to pain pills, vicodin, percocet...anything I could take to get me high.
The first thing I want to say is that the doc will not look at this being "your fault" most docs want to get addicts off the medications! I am not sure if there are bad withdrawls with codien, but just know that the bad physical withdrawls only last 3 days for the most part.
By me taking so much medication and there being tylenol in it, I damaged my liver. My liver counts were high and I had a CT Scan and it showed damage. I have pain where my liver is, but it is healing itself. Have faith, pray and just know that it does get better!
