Eric is right especialy about the supervision of your doctor. I quit the same dosage patch your on, on my own, and had a rough few days. My doc said he could have helped with that and to never go off a med without at least checking with him first.
A stayed on liquid codine for a few week after that but only for meals. All three meals at firts then just lunch and dinner and then just dinner. Then quit.
It was great to take a normal crap after that.
