Codeine is an opiate and is addictive. When you try to leave it, there may be some withdrawal symptoms like agitation, anxiety, insomnia etc. Depending on the severity of the dependence, the withdrawal symptoms vary. You need to consult a doctor and treatment of withdrawal symptoms symptomatically. Cognitive behavioral therapy also could be used. Take care.
