CODEINE ADDICTION+detailed info+internal anatomy of codeine absorbstion my body and detailed effects on internal organs.

I am addicted to codine based cof syrup called Rex-cof by cipla.I drink 2 to 3 bottles a day(100ml).
I have decided to quit as I am getting a strange feeling that i have become comfortably numb and internally i am rotting,
My question is
1- Can this addiction lead to increased chanses of infection?
2- Can this be the cause of infection and swelling of my gums?
3- Can this be the reason for a lot of cough without coughing,its like when u try pulling cough,there is mostly a lot of cough,feels like comming from sinuses,green to greyish green.
4 -can this addiction increase bleeding after stool?I may have hemmorids,I bleed on and off,I get blood mostly after passing stools,it drips in big bright red drops,no pain,recently i was constipated and after tht when i passed stool,i had extreme bleeding,blood was spurting out from somewhere around the circumfrence of my anus,it was like a spray from a syringe..it travelled good 9-10 inches further away ,i was shocked,I tried to stop it with tissue and water but it continued.then i put annovate cream on the outside but my whole toilet was bloody,my hands were so bloody with blood and tht cream,i applied toilet paper with that cream and  lay down to recover and next time whn i passed stool i did not see blood,but next day(last night)i had same amount of bleeding.can this be chemically induced bleeding?
5- can this the cause of my depression?
6- can this damage my urinary system?after the last bleeding incident i felt that my testes were very sore and sensitive,i had pain in my both sides of lower abdomen(the pain was like someone had kicked my balls hard)it came in waves and cramps.
please provide detailed info about side effects of codeine apart from general symptoms and effects.

Yes it can cause these symptoms but whether you quit or not I would get a good checkup. Some of your symptoms are a little worrisome. Good luck.

I can only vouch for myself when I say opiates do strange things to the body and if you are concerned about the above, chances are this is no coincidence and it caused by the codeine.

Over my years of pill taking, I've experienced some  bleeding stool, hemmorids etc.  I think I've retained lots of fluids.  My psoriasis flared up alot. Depression maybe when you run out of codeine or haven't had?  

I think either way, it should be a time to quit, set a plan, and then you will truly see if the symptoms were from codeine.
