Does anyone know about codeine w/d?

When the withdrawal from codeine actually start?  I have been on a very low dose for a few weeks (2- 30mg pills/day) and took my last dose Thursday morning around 8am.  I slept the best I have in weeks last night and don't feel anything YET.  But, just want some sort of idea and time frame of whats to come.  Any experts on Tyl. #3 out there.  I tried to quit a month ago but relapsed out of fear, not out of w/d.

No, I am not taking the #3's anymore.  Last dose was Thursday morning @ 8:30am.  I had been taking them for about 2.5 years.

At that low of a dose, for just a few weeks, you shouldn't have w/d's.  If you took your last dose Thursday morning, and your still feeling OK now, a few days later, then your in the clear.  Opiate w/d's usually start 8-24 hours after stopping the drug.  

Don't use anymore of them though.  Addiction can sneak up on you, and snare you.  Many never see it coming until it's too late.  My DOC (drug of choice) was Tyl #4, the next step up from your Tyl #3.  I've been down the road of dependance and w/d's.  NOT fun, and it's a road to disaster.  Congrats of stopping, and welcome to the forum :)
