Question: Will i have a bad comedown after taking codeine for 5 months ?
i have been taking them for a legitimate condition and should be off them totally in about 2 months.

Pain is an opiate antagonist which reduces the risk, however codeine, which is incidentally a very poor analgesic, is quite addictive so you may find that you are quite irritable and edgy for a while when you stop.
GP for more years than I care to remember
No. It sounds like you are tapering off, which might leave you with some headaches or minor stomach upset, but I'd be surprised if you got that much.
