You are taking the pills straight and not extracting out the codeine?  You said Tylenol #1?  How much codeine is in each tablet?

I agree that you can't do this cold turkey.  A taper would take a while.  Do you have a dr that you can trust?

Do you mind if I ask where you get the pills?  Is it legal OTC where you live?

Why can't you function without them? I mean, I couldn't function without my norcos b/c of lame withdrawals and I'm an addict.. However, I'm 15 days clean.. What happens if you don't pop a Tylenol?

So you're doing 800 mg of codeine a day, plus all the other crap in the med? First of all, I find that very hard to believe, however, I'll take your word for it, and thus have only one VERY strong suggestion - put the "I don't want anybody to know" BS aside and get to a doctor now. If you really are taking that much, and continue these foolish games, then you're pretty much dead.
Don't waste another minute on this forum - go see a doctor.
