Is 90mg of Codeine dangerous??

...
its NOT a waste to up the dose....and it does NOT become ineffective...
i no longer take codeine, but when i was taking it daily (roughly 700-850mgs, single dose once every 24hrs) , 400mgs would not halt the beginning of withdrawls and give me NO effects, where as a significantly higher dose would (please note, i was dependent, and had a high tolerance, i don't think anyone who is not tolerant should begin taking 450mgs + of codine). There is more sedation, calming etc with a higher dose.
The Opioid Receptor said:
"ant at 350mg's of codeine is the max your receptors can hold.."
have you ever tried using 450 or 550 mgs instead of 350mgs? i was suprised that there was an effects increase, because i had read somewhere about 'no increase in effects despite complete receptor saturation'. along with the 'analgesic ceiling', i thought that meant that upping the dose would not intensify the effects. but it does.

90 mg is a perfectly reasonable dose.
It was wise of you to start out at 60 mg as you should always be cautious with a new drug.
Personally, I find that I don't get any increase in effects (painkilling or otherwise) above about 240 mg (and I have taken a gram and a half at a time which was a terrible waste of codeine).

wow.. the first time I stumbled across codeine extraction info it said that the LD50 was 450mg and to stay at or below 300mg... I now guess that's complete bullshit from reading the above.
I started out years ago taking about 60mg and have settled around the 250mg mark now (300 gives me hellish itches). I'm still a fairly infrequent user.
