(*Big edit*) I am trying to wean myself off them by taking less and less each day. Cheers for any help offered.
I'm sorry, when I read back that is what it sounds like but I assumed you were mostly in America and not the UK. I am trying to come off themWe don't allow sourcing, this is a harm reduction site, we aren't here to help people acquire drugs
Hi I only get 60 tablets a week and I can take 10 in one go but then a few more later that day so I run out. I don't always get them. IThank youWe need more data, my dear friend.
Dose? For how long?

I'm going to hazzard a guess that they are 30 mg Codeine tablets... If he's in the UK? The maximum prescribed daily dosage is 2 x 30 mg 4 times per day = 240 mg. But he/she says he can take 10 or more per day... so has obviously built up a tolerance..Oh ok. And how many pills do you take per day? How much codeine did these pills contain?

The good news is Codeine is probably one of the easier Opiates to withdraw from. But can still be pretty nasty! The only way to make it less uncomfortable will be to taper your dose. At what rate I'm not sure..? Hopefully somebody else with more experience of abusing/withdrawing from Codeine can help.
Good luck.

Did you suffer any withdrawals during that one month break? If you can keep off them for 1 month I believe that you're not physically dependent/or you have broken your phsyically dependence?Thank you, I managed not to take any for a month but then my pain kicked back in so I got another script and then another
Hi, I have been taking them for years for pain but taking the higher dose for about a year, I managed for about a month but then needed them for pain again but ended up using far too much of it again. Thanks for your help.That is to say >300 mg. of codeine per day. I also think that with willpower and a clever tapper, it shouldn't be hard to quit.
At what rate? It will depend a lot on how long you are taking it. For the same reason we need more info OP @htina9200 to help you better. The less time, the better and shorter the tapper will be.
I have also read that codeine is one of the easier opioids to withdraw/quit. But each person is a different world.
Hi, yes i suffered horrible withdrawl symptoms, I couldnt sleep, had the runs, felt like KI had flu and could hardly make the bed. I thought about it constantly and knew I could get another script, which I did eventually and took a load as soon as I got them. I felt so shit that I had no self control.Did you suffer any withdrawals during that one month break? If you can keep off them for 1 month I believe that you're not physically dependent/or you have broken your phsyically dependence?
Seems you have a high Codeine tolerance though.. I really don't know what to suggest other than stronger Opiates which will just end you up in an even bigger hole! Although you shouldn't have to live in pain....
Speak to you Doctor. Best of luck
