Is It Risky To Reduce Panadeine Forte Dosage?

I am on 4 panadeine fortes per day. Have been for 2 years as I have chronic pain. I didn t have any left yesterday and I am suffering badly with gasto and other symtoms...I am about to get another 50 and I know afterwards? I will lose those symtoms....my question is...will it damage me in any way if I try to reduce my reliance by taking them separately over 24 hours and then 3 per day, then 2 etc, or will I get the same symptoms?g
