hiii dear
yes it is serious
because codeine syrup make you addict soon
it has opioid derivatives and so quit today
go for psychiatrist
he will guide you to how to quit and replacement therapy for it
and suggest medication also for sleep problem
require evaluations and treatment
so plz say no to codeine and be safe
thank you
