CODEINE ADDICTION & ABUSE

An addiction to codeine, whether it’s in syrup form, or prescription pills, usually starts with an increasing tolerance to the drug. This means that a person could start out getting a reduction of pain or coughing at 15 milligrams but then make his or her way to higher dosages of 30 milligrams when the drug stops helping. This is the usual phenomenon with all opioid painkillers, increasing the dosage for more effects until you begin to abuse the medication. Many famous people such as Lil Wayne are addicted to codeine with promethazine cough syrup and openly admit it.

Some artists have died, such as Pimp C, DJ Screw and Big Moe, as a direct result of the cough syrup addiction, also known as lean, syzzurp, and purple drank on the streets. The higher the dosage an addict takes, the more likely it is that the person will become addicted when the drug use goes on for a longer period of time than originally intended. If a codeine addict cannot obtain any more of the drug, he may go back to the doctor to get a higher dosage of this drug. If the doctor refuses or even cuts him off without addressing the addiction, the person may turn to illegal means to pursue the high to avoid withdrawal symptoms and sickness.
