Long term effects in painkiller addiction

I have had an addiction to codiene phosphate for a few years.  My GP is aware of this, and we are gradually coming of it.

But will there be any long term damage to my internal organs?
I have never been above 120mg a day.  Has this already caused me problems, or is it unlikely?  I must say, I originally took this for migraine. . not effective for that now, but still have to take it.  All done through my GP and have never experimented with any drugs even tobacco!

thanks for making my day, no, my year! Thank god indeed! I'm so happy for you. I can't tell you how much you're plight affected me. You're obviously such a decent, caring person and to have to deal with cancer was an unspeakable injustice. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel so good to see a decent person like you get a break for a change!

My best to your daughter, too,

so happy, Thomas

Hi Everyone,
    I've been watching the boards daily and keeping everyone in my prayers. I wanted to thank you all for your prayers and tell you they paid off. I went to the doctor about the tumor in my stomache yesterday. He had the results from my tests on Tuesday. There was no sign of the tumor on the new xrays. The first test it showed up on was a cat scan. It showed up before and after the contrast was given. The test I had Tuesday was an upper GI. It showed no tumor at all ! The doc said it was just gone. GOD IS GOOD !!!!!! Thank you for all your prayers. I will go for now. I'm very tired today.
    God Bless Everyone,
          Kerrie
