Tolerance vs Withdrawal
Tolerance vs Withdrawal? This might be more appropriate elsewhere - sorry!
I take codeine and dihydrocodeine both for pain and for fun. I seem to have developed a fair tolerance for both but don't have any withdrawal issues. I wonder how normal this is and whether it will go on.
I used to do about 30mg codeine for a little pain relief (but more for serious pain) and 150mg to feel pleasantly stoned (more for total OTT euphoria - but that wasn't usually my aim). I now do 90mg for pain and 400mg or so to get stoned (a couple of times a week). The thing I find weird is that I can have days in between where I take nothing and yet feel fine - no craving. No withdrawal. Is this normal? Will I soon become a slavering idiot biting my own eyes out with addiction? Should I stop? It all seems easy to handle so far...
