A member asked:

Have been taking 30-60mg of codeine daily for wisdom teeth removal for about 3 days. will i have withdrawal symptoms when i stop taking it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Codeine: By now the pain and swelling should be starting to go down. If so, begin tapering off the Codeine, substituting Ibuprofen if you still need some support. If pain persists, or if you have difficulty coming off the codeine, call your Oral Surgeon for help.
