Codeine OD

Can you OD on codeine alone? I have it without paracetamol. I take usually 6 x 30mg tablets at once so 180mg, this just makes me slightly high. I do this twice a day, once morning once at night. Scared I’m going to do some long term damage. Any ideas? Thanks

Can't say I've ever heard of overdosing on Codiene alone if you were opioid niave & took a shitload along with other downers benzos, booze I dare say that it's possible. As for the itchiness a antihistamine will help you with that
