Hi, I'm 40yo, male, weight is 85kg (most of that is fat hahah).
I have been on 3x 200mg pregabalin (Lyrica) + 20mg escitalopram (Lexapro) for about a year now, being treated for generalized anxiety disorder. I'm experienced with benzos but 10mg of valium (diazepam) will still 'relax' me (no euphoria though).
I wanted to experiment with something new so I took CWE 120mg of Codeine using 30/500 (apap) co-codamol (pharmacy grade, from a script).
I tried twice now. I do get a bit of a feeling of being more relaxed although less than 15mg valium would make me feel. I do get slightly more drowsy, and I get a slight headache around the 1h30 mark (which goes away quickly). I tried listening to music and it's hard to tell if the pleasure I get from it is not just placebo and just lying down nicely in a quiet, darkened room.
Do you think either the SSRIs or the pregabalin is getting in the way of a good buzz? Am I too fat for 120mg to matter? Or maybe I had inflated expectation as to what 120mg of codeine would do? I was hoping for some kind of comfy, warm, pleasant experience with enhanced pleasure taken from listening to music, alongside with distinct euphoria.
Thank you. Also if you have good recommendations for euphoria/relaxing drugs that work well alongside my prescription it would be really appreciated
