Could withdrawals be hard from 90mg codeine taken for a month and then stopped cold turkey?

Dr. Paul Grin answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Opiate withdrawal: Can be very uncomfortable. The good news, is not life threatening if you are withdrawing only from Codeine and not a combination of drugs. In any case it is a serious issue and need to be addressed. Rec.: see your pcp to discuss your concerns and options.
