Codeine IS addictive. Meemers

Codeine is definitely an addictive medication and usage should always be monitored by a doctor. Codeine is an analgesic narcotic.Effects of codeine generally start to have an effect within 30 minutes after ingestion and the effect can last from four to six hours, or as much as 8 hours.

Codeine is addictive, so you should take care to follow your doctor's instructions about dosage and how long you should be taking the drug. When codeine reaches the brain, it is converted to morphine. It then suppresses your cough center, causing you to cough less. It is generally prescribed for a cough that is non-productive.
