Well, do you really want the truth? Here goes. I get prescribed 6 x 60mg tablets of codeine phosphate a day. But I can take up to 18 x 60mg tablets at a time. When I run out, I buy something called Nurofen Plus over the counter, half of which contains codeine. When it was first released, the tablets used to be pink and white, and you knew the white side was codeine, so I used to bite that side off. Eventually the company twigged what people were doing, so they made the tablets all white. But I figured that they wouldn't go to all the expense of changing their machinery to make the tablets, and they still split in half like they used to, so I can bite off the codeine side still, and it works. So you can see I have a real problem with codeine. But it helps so much with my depression, I can't give it up. I hope this gives you some idea - please let me know what happens with you. You have my support.
