Nice Codeine Megathread

[curious_24]

I didn't know this. I thought the titanium dioxide was pretty much impossible to remove from the final solution? For the purposes of HR, squeezing the filter should always be discouraged.

 

[BadBesty]

I stopped using paramol cause of this, just never trusted it and could never get a finish i was confident with.

I have in the past rubbed the tabs under a tap and it washes it away, but starts dissolving tabs pretty quickly so defo lose product.

The filter also always clogged and stopped the flow and wasnt happy when squeezing filter so ditched it. Quite a frw times left me with gritty mouth which aint a good sign

Paramol CWEs are cloudy. It's just a given.

Never ever had a gritty mouth from a CWE though, regardless of whether I'd been using OTC pills (of whetever brand) or prescribed ones. Now that's something to worry about, for sure.

As for the filter clogging up, that inevitably happens. I tend to switch to another filter as soon as I can.

I find filtering though a fine weave tee shirt first to remove the bulk and squeeze out remaining water then run the solution thru filters, you'll find they don't clog that way

 

[Sammy G]

Yeah, I do just that when I have the time / equipment. Saves a shitload of time and frustration.

Though to be perfectly honest, I can't be bothered with doing a CWE on OTC cocos / Paramol anymore. A whole lot of effort for very, very little product.

Prescription cocos / co-dydramols are well worth it though.

I dont think you should get a histamine rash on 25mg

TBH it wouldn't surprise me at all, I've been labelled atopic by various doctors and have problems with allergic reactions and an over active immune system.

60mg would have me itching quite badly a couple of years ago so i sued to take a double dose of antihistamine prior to taking it, but over time the reaction has lessened and i can take 300mg with no such reaction.

Circumstance has made my GP finally see sense and prescribe straight codeine and not 30/500s, so no more dodgt looks from Mrs A due to CWEs 'maturing in the fridge:D

I know I was banging on about this in Gibberings earlier, but it really is surprising me the difference between Linctus and a CWE, with roughly the same dose, allowing for codeine lost in the extraction.

CWE will come on in half an hour for me, and I'll have about an hour of rambling and stuff, followed by getting a bit noddy and by three hours I'm mostly down and sleepy. Had a CWE of about 600mg a few days ago and was noddy but functional. Drank a litre of tonic water before I took it.

Taken linctus today and even though it was on an empty stomach and I drank the tonic after (definitely found it potentiates) it took maybe an hour to start feeling it, I dosed at about 9.30am, and slowly built up. Eyes were normal til about 11am, and I'm now nodding out to the point it's hard to actually type and am mostly making use of my touch typing skills with my eyes shut. Doesn't feel like it's going to go for a while, whereas a CWE would be done with by now. Starting to think, price-wise, it's more efficient for me to just buy linctus instead of pharmacy hopping as often ends up more expensive due to need for bus ticket on occasion. Is also making me want to smoke, which, as a rule, I don't do unless I've been drinking. Also larger capacity to ramble than normal as may be obvious.

Just found it interesting that I get such different effects from the same RoA but different methods of preparation.

I should go do something productive.

 

[Shambles]

I've noticed something similar when using CWE compared with linctus. Perhaps not quite as pronounced but certainly along those lines. CWEs are quite up and down for me - they hit hard and fast but seem to tail off pretty sharply whereas a linctus lingers a lil and takes a bit longer to come on despite also being a liquid preparation. I can only presume it's to do with the other ingredients in a linctus. Although it's mostly just sugar/sugar alternatives and preservatives from what I recall. There's no extended release features that I know of. Perhaps it's just the syrupy nature of lintuses - they just take longer to be fully absorbed so come on slower making for different concentrations in the blood compared with a CWE which presumably is much easier to get from belly to bloodstream.

Do something productive or have a nap? Naps can be good for productivity so I'd say they technically count as being productive.

 

[Mental Kenny]

Maybe the syrup forms a coating on your stomach that slows down the absorption rate?

Like eating bread and butter before drinking type of thing. All that syrupy shite creating a barrier in the stomach.

Just my two cents.

Yep, that sounds good to me. Or did, as I did have a nap and it was good. I might have your quote quaintly cross-stitched and hung over my fireplace :D

Sounds legit tbh, I'm still sort of residually high and eyes closing for longer than they should or going a bit boss-eyed, even after a nap. Should sleep well tonight. Tonight being around 7pm I usually head to bed at sunset but am making an exception today.

 

[Shambles]

I might have your quote quaintly cross-stitched and hung over my fireplace :D

Believe it or not I used to really enjoy doing cross-stich as a kid. Knitting too (but was never very good at it - stitching was more my thing). Also had a thing for ironing although I suspect that's just cos it was a Dangerous Thing so I was always a bit excited to be allowed to touch it. Did the cross-stitching for quite a while though. Used to get kits - only one I recall was a pic of a duck I think. Maybe it was a goose. Waterfowl for sure.

Codeine may even have been involved cos I do recall being very fond of granny's cough medicine around that time. Made me feel all warm and happy so it did.

 

[masaz]

Haha aw that's an adorable image :D And yes, ironing is a Dangerous Thing. I think I've done it maybe ten times in my entire life. I wasn't too bad at cross-stitch myself and have vague memories of learning to knit and doing ballet. Then I went all dykey.

And Grandmas always have the best medicine, fact.

Hey ppl, been scanning this thread and 2 hours ago took 90mg of Codeine Phospate. Didn't really get anything from it - is it safe for me to up my dosage now or should I wait? Do I need to give myself a gap between doses ?

 

[Shambles]

^ Yup. If you've taken 90mg with no problem other than disappointment you are quite safe to up that dose. Have an antihistamine on hand if you go above maybe 200mg. Other than that you should be good to go. Redosing tends to work best sooner rather than later as staggered doses tend to result in just dragging out shitty and/or almost no effects. Also, welcome to BL and EADD

... doing ballet. Then I went all dykey.

Guess who had ballet and tap lessons? And coincidentally also has great fondness for the female form? I blame those "Diamond Windows" - all that spreading of legs and stuff is not what boys are made for. That or the shoes.

Just to make my masculinity plain to all, I did get expelled from ballet class aged five. Teacher said it was her or me so I had to go. I thought I was very well behaved myself. Just how badly behaved can you be at age five? You'd have to compare notes with my primary school teacher who actually did resign blaming my behaviour for it. I encountered her a decade later and she crossed the street to avoid me. I didn't even recognise her. My mother certainly did which is where and when I found out about the resignation bizniz. Wish I could go back and see my five year old self. I must've been well 'ard. Or just a complete arse. Or maybe just a boisterous five year old with a fondness for asking pertinent questions. Or maybe impertinent questions. Both I suspect.

Ty sir, took another 120, hoping for better result. Weird thing is, last week I took 60 and got a buzz.

 

[Shambles]

I can't really explain that beyond YMMV which hardly counts as you are still you. Set and Setting also comes into play even with drugs that are primarily physical in nature so could be a part of the reason why such difference. Other than that I have no idea. You are well within "normal" levels at every dose you've mentioned though so wouldn't worry too much about it. You should find your level with practice if you choose to continue taking codeine. Enjoy the itchiez

 

[Kithe]

I'm sure this has been covered before here, but trawling through loads of posts doesn't really tell me where I can source the stuff. Atm i'm lucky as a guy who I work with has knackered his back, and what started as 'can i have 2 of those' last week, today became 'can i have the last of that strip as you have loads at home'.

Where can i get this stuff? Is a generic version available somewhere ?

 

[Shambles]

There is good reason you've trawled through loads of posts and not found any that tell you where to source the stuff - that reason would be because sourcing is strictly forbidden on BL. Beyond the fact it's sold at chemists there's nothing much more to say. I wouldn't try asking your local pharmacist for codeine though. Have a read up on CWE if you really wish to go that route. There's plenty enough info in the CWE thread to tell you which meds contain what and what to do with said meds if you acquire them.

 

[Dark Side]

What would 2 packs of paramol be like, i got 2 left and im thinking of doing an extraction with both ive only ever done one in the past, tollerance wont be an issue with me i just want to know in terms of effect is it going to be worth it or should i just split it and do 2 doses?

Because most of us just get it from a pharma, i wouldnt waste my money on the script pills way too expensive for a codiene high. Thats the point in CWE'ing its a cheap buzz and the price is relative to the high you get.

 

[superG]

Hi folks! Im new to forums, just joined yesterday, however im not new to some good old fashioned codiene abuse I used to take a shitload of dhc, upto 1.5g a day, so now that I have a legitimate reason for pain meds, (had a heart opp tuesday) the 30/500 did just not cut the mustard. After doing lots of reading I have now done a few successful CWE's with the cocos, but yesterday I did my first with nurofen plus. It seemed to work fine apart from the end product being milky white dispite repeatedly filtering. Can anyone confirm a couple of posts, one which said a white dye is added to make it appear unsafe?, and another which stated titanium oxide was the reason?. The product has been sat untouched since last night, and I could really do with a big hug from its opiate lovelyness :D also I have set aside the sludge which is nearly dry and was hoping someone may be able to tell me the weight of a nurofen plus tablet, so I can try and make sense of this that way. Thanks in advance for any help, and please let me know if im posting this question in an appropriate place, thanks peace.
