If it is then i know you say that you know about the addiction part of it but if you are still taking it then im sorry but you don't understand the extent of it! Please just read my questions (found on my profile) I have a bad codeine addiction and am now up to 420mg of codeine at a time (which would kill you if you were not used to it just to let you know!). At the end of december i was taking exactly 240mg at a time...this has escallated up to 420mg at a time over just a few weeks!!! so...basically what i'm tyring to say is that i thought that i understood the addiction side of it and that i was in control but i am a complete state now and don't know what to do about it...so if you think that you can carry on taking this dose and stick to it your wrong......after a couple of doses it wont work anymore and you'll end up taking more just to get the same effects! i'm guessing you didnt start as a dose of 240mg but at a much lower dose and this has just escalled over time!...i don't want to lecture you but if i want you to understand how this drug takes over and controls a ruins you life! and beleive me i thought it was just a bit of fun...a pick me up or whatever at first because it does not seem serious when you don't get the bad efffects from it! If this is not a post for your self then yes i can answer your question..... *the main concern is addiction..leaving that aside * from experience a dose of 240mg can make you feel *light-headed or faint *confused *hallucunate *feel agitated *slow down your heart beat *give you problems with urination *give you insommnia *dry mouth *constipation *blurred vision *rashes *blackouts * serious breathing problems (you can actuley stop breathing) Hope this help, if this is for your self, please do read my posts, i think it might put you off Codeine. Good luck and if you want anymore advise please let me know! E xXx"

These effects seem to be more prominent in ambulatory than in non ambulatory patients, and some of these adverse reactions may be alleviated if the patient lies down. Other adverse reactions include euphoria, dysphoria, constipation, and pruritus. Drug Abuse and Dependence Controlled Substance: Codeine phosphate is a Schedule II narcotic. Dependence Although much less potent in this regard than morphine, codeine can produce drug dependence a.d. therefore, has the potential for being abused. Patients given 60 mg codeine every 6 hours for 2 months usually show some tolerance and mild withdrawal symptoms. Development of the dependent state is recognized by an increased tolerance to the analgesic effect and the appearance of purposive phenomena (complaints, pleas, demands, or manipulative actions) shortly before the time of the next scheduled dose. A patient in withdrawal should be treated in a hospital environment. Usually, it is necessary only to provide supportive care with administration of a tranquilizer to suppress anxiety. Severe symptoms of withdrawal may require administration of a replacement narcotic."
