I have found that sticking one in the mouth and generally just sucking it with the occasional careful halving of the tablet,, done ideally with the two front teeth then completing the job with the tongue works great,,, just keep sucking the thing but essentially avoiding chewing it as this just gets the waxy putty like tablet stuck in your teeth - hence it not being absorbed. However as I say for maximum benefits I use this way and find as long as your carefull how you seperate the tablet with the teeth (basically just use teeth with no crevices like the 2 front ones) and keep adding saliva and sucking down the codeine tasting solution you can peak around half an hour after the last of the bits are dissolved, this way hits pretty hard even before you've finished with the tablet (actually I've nodded off while keeping remains of the DHC tablet on the bridge of my upper mouth and its stayed there for when I wake up!) but yeah,, judging by feelings this method is pretty good and works nicely for how I want it to - I'd say once you get the hang of it you can safely break up and dissolve the tablet within 10-15minutes,, with the effects noticeable by the end of this time and the peak around half an hour later,, though the taper down is very slow and usually gives you a good 6-8 hour kick... I have nodded a hell of a lot using this method,, of course the trick is to dissolve it without the wax sticking anywhere -and trust me even on the front teeth it will,, but at least here you can easily wipe it of with your tongue... I wouldnt use the teeth too much as the more you suck it the easier it gets to split with just the tongue - or just half/ quarterise it before it enters your mouth, maybe crush it entirely before it enters is best,, but hey,, what a dumbass! I only just thought of that!.. Anyway, just keep sucking the codeine saliva down,, which IMHO doesnt taste too bad at all, till the tablets dissolved in your mouth,, this nicely gives me a hard kick and smooth taper down -sure its not instantaneous like IVing or even plugging (tried plugging a ER DHC - not half as good as this method as the wax stays put) but its as good a method as to make me very happy and its better value for money than the IR's to.
PS ACTUALLY - on second thoughts,, sure go with halving the pill but DONT crush it entirely as this is very likely to make all the bits of the tablet get stuck in the many crevices of your mouth and not dissolve fast enough,,, but anyway,, anyone have a prefered method (as mentioned plugging aint gonna work but Im open to the cola method) and Im willing to give it a try.. Im really happy with these ER's tbh -value for money wise I like the fact I can get a strong feeling off them and yet still 6-8 hours wooziness/ pain relief. Sure the IR's hit quicker but Im surprised how quickly the kick goes compared to these (120mg ER's)
