codeine for Cough: I could barely breath or eat when I had bronchitis. When I took codeine I could at least drink water and eat noodles. I don't know how I would have survived without it. Although I had to quit taking it before I finished my prescription because it made me feel "drunk" if I don't have major pain.

codeine for Pain: Very effective. I have osteoarthritis and can be pain free with Codeine. It is more effective with Ibuprofen. ALSO
profoundly lifts depression due to chronic pain and makes such a better life day to day. Space doses well apart to avoid tolerance. I use only in the morning with very good effect. Using whole daily dose in the morning may get you through the day without a need for a second dose. I would leave at least 6 hours between doses to assure full effect.
Don't suffer needlessly. Good luck and hope this helps.

codeine for Diarrhea: I have severe IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and could not find relief until I was prescribed codeine for it. At this point most of my symptoms are either completely gone or nearly gone.
I can say that codeine is a wonder drug when it comes to resolving the symptoms.

codeine for Pain: I was in hospital for some time with chest pains, and when I was given codeine phosphate it took the pain straight away. I also suffer from back pain and codeine phosphate really works. I would recommend it.
