I have to agree. Codeine being an opiate could send you over the top and start using again. Is it worth the risk? There are some good otc that help. I like the ones with expectorant.

Try deslym s/p??   that is a very good one OTC....I know how tough this can be when the cough just doesn't want to stop....But you are doing the right thing, you have way too many days to set your brain back,
Good luck
