Hey again,
As I said, regardless of the dosage, whether it's the lower or higher dosage of codeine, it still has 500mg of paracetamol per pill[unless instructed otherwise], and paracetamol is very dangerous, as only a small amount of it can cause massive organ damage, and possible failure.
You really need to have your bloods tested, particularly for your liver.
When you see your GP, you don't really have to tell them the reasons for having a blood test if you are adamant you don't want them to know, you could just say you would like to request a blood test for reasons I do not feel comfortable to share at this moment or just request a blood test to make sure everything is okay.
I would recommend telling your GP the reason though, as this way, they can be more specific in what exactly they're testing, and why, and the things to look out for.
If you are in DBT, you usually have to be willing to give up all damaging behaviours, could you speak to someone there about this?
They could try and help you with it, or speaking to your support worker/social worker, whoever is easiest to speak to, or to write this down on paper and give it to someone you see, so they can help you with this.
Trust me, this is a road that can swerve very quickly into dangerous waters, your health could change very dramatically and suddenly,
as well as the fact that although this may not kill you immediately short term,
in the long term,
minor overdosing frequently can be more dangerous than one big overdose,
because your body is being consistently attacked by these overdoses time and time again,
so it can eventually wear your body down,
to the point it can no longer function,
and damage will occur,
sometimes irreversibly damage because it isn't caught in time,
and eventually,
due to this,
death.
Please, please, see someone as soon as you can about this.
I understand completely, but it is very dangerous, and the situation as well as your health could be severely compromised, damage/death is a very real risk here, it's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when" if you continue doing this.
I know it can be difficult to give up damaging behaviours, but it can be done over time, and with the right help, but you have to be willing and committed to stopping these behaviours, no one can do it for you, it has to ultimately come from you.
