Do you have some paracetamol/codeine tablets?
If so:
1. Crush 12 tables in a bowl.
2. cover with boiling water.
3. Stir until looks like all substance has been dissolved.
4. Put in freezer for about 30 min.
5. Strain mixture through a hankerchief.
6. Discard stuff in hankerchief down toilet (this is the paracetamol
with filler)
7. Drink mixture (it does not taste very good)
8. In about 20 min you will feel soothing effect of about 100mg pure
codiene.
9. Enjoy - BUT BE CAREFUL TO EXRACT PARACETAMOL AS TOO MUCH CAN CAUSE
LIVER FAILURE AFTER ABOUT 48 HOURS.

Also, be careful as codeine is very addictive.

Well hell, if I had codeine tablets I wouldn't be worried about posting on
here for some
home remedies......LMAO! Jeez, let me know who your DR is because I
definitely need to go to them the next time I'm ill. I'm not making fun of
you, but most people just don't have codeine at their disposal. Maybe, it
just me.
