How long would CWE'd codeine stay good for?

Here's the situation fellas. I intend on producing myself some codeine solution, not specifically for recreational use but more as a handy medication for cough suppression. I'll be mass producing it for personal use, and ideally storing it in blacked out bottles (to prevent the breakdown of the codeine as a result of sunlight). Obviously, the codeine will be obtained by performing a cold water extraction on co-codamol (weak stuff, 8/500).

As a result, I have a few questions. Please only answer if you have a reason to know - speculation doesn't tend to prove overtly helpful. :)

  • Is there any reason for the solution to become less potent over a three-monthly period?
  • Would it potentially be better for the sake of storage to simply evaporate the water from the solution, and store as a solid?
  • If it would be easier/more viable to evaporate the water, what method of doing this would be most suitable (as not to destroy the precious codeine)?

I greatly appreciate any help you fellas can give me!
