How bad is it to take 30-50mg of codeine a day

I can’t imagine it would improve anything to have them put in my medical records that I’m some sort of opioid addict

I haven't brought up any of your other issues (though the fact it's so easy to work out which other threads you have made says a lot) . Your past threads do suggest a pattern of behaviour that is relevant though.

I disagree. You wouldn’t even have disclosed the lengths you are going to to get this much codeine unless I hadn’t recognised you from one of your other threads. That’s plainly relevant and ties into you giving piecemeal parts of the picture to increase the chances of being told what you want to hear.
If you are the same person from the regular drinking thread I’m going to be annoyed as you’re portraying yourself as otherwise relatively healthy here.

It might lead them to actually get you help for that issue? Among others?

I don’t see what they could do to help with it

What do you think TSR can do to help you? You could have easily googled the answer to your question, yet you chose to make a thread about it instead...

I take cocodamol for my migraines/stomach cramps that I get basically every day. I just buy the over the counter ones that are 8mg/500mg and take two tablets two or three times a day (so 32-48mg of codeine a day). I know you're only meant to take it for three days but will it really have any negative impacts on my health if I stick to such a low dose?
I get bad headaches/stomachaches a lot and paracetamol or ibuprofen don't really work for it. I'm also at uni so I can't really have a lot of sick days where I don't get much work done. I've been to the doctors multiple times and their answer is just that some people get more aches and pains than others and I don't have any diagnosable condition, I'm just in pain a lot.

This thread is from weeks ago. People started commenting on it again today so I’m replying to the comments

That amount is not nearly enough to feel the full effects. you

How does that negate my point is that you could have googled the answer to your question instead of making this thread?

Could’ve done. I make most of these threads when I’m drunk or hungover over in my room feeling sorry for myself and because it doesn’t let you delete anonymous threads they just stay here

drinking while on opioids is even more dangerous than codeine use alone

The codeine is mostly in the mornings/afternoons and the drinking is mostly in the evenings/at night. Also the maximum amount of codeine I ever take in one go is like 40mg

Is there some reason that you won't take the advice of pharmacists and doctors but instead want some reassurance from unqualified teenagers that what you are doing is safe?

Go to the doctors, get diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder and get prescribed sertraline.
That is the only way you're going to stop the anxiety, the stomach aches, the headaches, the drinking and the prescription drug use.
But sadly you won't because you'd rather slowly kill yourself with alcohol and prescription meds.

Gradually reduce the dose you’re taking and replace it with another painkiller like aspirin or ibuprofen alone and you probably won’t notice a significant difference

I’ve tried other painkillers and nothing works as well and I usually feel the headache coming on when I’m waiting for my second dose so reducing it would probably just give me a migraine everyday

If the pain comes back every time the effects of the codeine wear off it could be withdrawal symptoms
