Hi. Addiction to codeine is common. It is not easy to deaddict from codeine and it is not advised to stop suddenly as it will cause disturbing withdrawal symptoms (headache, nausea, irritability, loss of sleep). The correct way to reverse the addiction is by seeing a psychiatrist for deaddiction therapy. Since codeine is an allopathic drug, the sos replacements also need to be allopathic. Homeopathy will not work in this case.

Hello-
Sexual side effects of Codeine addiction are:
Erectile dysfunction.
Irregular menstruation.
Lowered interest in sex.

In order to recover, you must start aphrodisiac treatment of ayurveda. Herbs can not only make you recover your lost reproductive strength but will also improve your libido in upcoming future permanently.

Dear lybrate-user,
withdrawing from codeine and alprazolam is not all that easy. It has to be done slowly over few weeks. You need tablets, injections and supportive therapy to face the withdrawal symptoms. Please get admitted to nearest deaddiction centre or hospital. After discharge, you can follow up online.

Codeine tablet and syrup are the same and we have to decrease the dosage and stop it after clinical examination.
