(It's ironic; in many people codeine/codone causes bad nausea) Before that I had quite a stash from a psychiatrist who I saw a few times, while I was looking around for a pdoc I really liked. He gave me a large amount with I think two refills. They were also given to me for pms, and I took such a low dose (1/2 of a 7.5/750 once a day) that they lasted for a long time.
I do want to emphasize that both my pdoc and my therapist knew, and it was one of the reasons I terminated with my pdoc--she was bent out of shape about it, and I would have had to lie to her. That would not have felt comfortable to me. It is much more comfortable for me having my pdoc prescribe it, but finding someone to prescribe opiates is not an easy task.
