I am in Australia and codeine is over the counter here.
Usually sold as 8-10mg tablets with paracetemol.
I guess I will never know why he wrote this down.
Ive only been seeing a psychiatrist for 6 years or so, well three different ones. I guess mine are not that large yet.

I guess what upset me most is that he didnt even write that i had taken the drug occasionally which is also untrue as I have never had amphetamines but it actually said I had constantly abused methamphetamine which lead to psychosis and all this other crap.
