I had a mate die almost a year ago now from H, he was also found in the bathroom of a fast food chain. Doctors say it was because he also had benzos and .07 BAC. Let this be a reminder to take extra care when it comes to IV.
Has anybody used methadone to quit a codeine habit? Seems a little silly I know, but I cant stop myself. If I see a new GP, will he inform my regular GP (prescribes me benzos) as I wouldn't want to be taken off them?
Treating a codeine addiction with a much stronger opiate does sound silly. Have you had no success cutting back?
I realise this is obvious, but the reason we are able to buy codeine over the counter is because it is such a mild opiate and doesnt have the same addiction risks as most other opiates.
If I were you, instead of having 500mg's a day cut back to 475mg's then 450mg's, etc.
