I've been taking codeine phosphate for ulcerative colitis for many years, and yes, I found it helps with my depression. The trouble is, though, that as time goes on, I need more and more of the drug to get the same effect. At the moment, I am taking 36 x 30mg tablets at a time, which I think you will agree, is a real addiction. So my advice would be not to start taking it at all. It is terribly addictive, and very difficult to come off. The problem is that you just don't want to stop taking it.
