"Codeine is very effective for pain, but some people are very sensitive to it, so watch out for allergies/sensitivities. Other than that, fantastic."

"Great. It works well for pain, but does not last as long as I’d like. I can't take hydrocodone, which makes me itch and sometimes break out in night sweats."

"Very good medication, I take 30 to 60 mg during tooth pain, and it helps massively. This saved me from long ER visits. Medication also has a sedative effect."

"I had an external hemorrhoids surgery, and codeine is not helping me whatsoever, as the doctor prescribed 30 mg. I take 2, still the same, and it has not helped me with tonsillitis surgery, too."

"Awesome, I get the DHC Codeine 60 mg, takes pain away 96%. I have palmoplantar keratoderma, which is a rare skin disease. It also makes me so calm. I am angry a lot of doctors won't give it to you."
