> Jay, I live in Canada too & the only way I know of codeine being able to be gotten OTC is by the acetaminophen (325 mg)/codeine (8 mg)/caffeine tablets. If this is where your codeine comes from, please be careful of acetaminophen poisoning. The amount of codeine is fairly low & to get what you need, you may be risking permanent liver damage from ingesting too much acetaminophen. I'm concerned how much you may get.

Thanks IsoM. I have been able to use it without cranking up the dose, and I may even switch to the Aspirin/Codiene combo one of the major chains here carries. In honesty, I don't just use the med for psychological reasons, because I happen to have very bad sinus problems and the pain that follows. Short of surgery, I have tried everything else over a 15-20 year span, and this keeps the pain at bay.
Thanks again for your concern..:-)
Your fellow Canuck,
Jay
