I have a decent supply of codeine that was prescribed to me after my recent surgery. I didn't take it for the pain, but now it is tempting me, I've been having problems sleeping and I know it will take the edge off my anxiety and depression. I don't drink alcohol, have never smoked tobacco let alone cannabis, I've never even thought about experimenting with illicit drugs, but I'm so desperate for relief from depression that I would consider abusing codeine.
