You should see a doctor right away, and I mean immediately!
You may think it's the codeine which is what is causing your problems, but it's probably a reaction to the Promethazine that it is mixed with.
Promethazine is added to the codeine in cough syrups and acts as a potentifier,
Promethazine is a phenothiazine derivative that competitively and potently blocks histamine H1 receptors without blocking the secretion of histamine.
One of it's side effects include a short temper, seizures and
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome. NMS is a life- threatening neurological disorder most often caused by an adverse reaction to antipsychotic drugs. It generally presents with muscle rigidity, fever, autonomic instability and cognitive changes such as delirium.
The first symptom to develop is usually muscular cramps, fever, symptoms of instability of the autonomic nervous system such as unstable blood pressure, and changes in cognition, including agitation, delirium, Other symptoms may include muscle tremors. Once symptoms do start to appear, they rapidly progress and can reach peak intensity in as little as three days. These symptoms can last anywhere from eight hours to forty days.
This is not something to ignore, you need to be treated imediately!

You really should see a doctor if you are having seizures. That is very scary. I understand the p!ssed off feelings, I was a raving lunatic for awhile. How long had you been using? Was that the only thing you took?

The irritability is very common with wd's. How much cough syrup were you taking?
