Is it normal to take these?
About a year ago, I had some minor surgery done. The doctor didn't prescribe any pain killers to follow, he just advised me to pick up some OTC Acetaminophen, caffeine, codeine tablets. The Codeine is only 8mg, and honestly it worked pretty good for the pain. I refilled it back in jan of this year, and haven't refilled it again until the other day, July now.
My folks think I'm becoming an addict using this stuff so long after the surgery. Honestly I think they're full of it, since i only use it during some of my most brutal headaches. I've read up on the addictions, and it seems common in people using the Tylenol 3 versions of it which can have up to 64mg, 8 times the does i'm using.
Still, better safe then sorry, so I ask you, am i on the road to addiction here? Or are my folks just paranoid?
