420mg codeine... Safe?!

[Chubbs_Peterson]

Evening chaps and chapetts

Usually I like to take 12 x 30mg codeine phosphate tablets on an empty stomach, but the effect is becoming weak, so obviously have some tolerance!

I don't take it every day or anything but enjoy it every now and then in the same
Way I do alcohol (though not at the same time!)

Am I safe to go up to 14 x 30mg tablets? I hear the sweet spot is higher than 360mg?

Thoughts appreciated!

In light of HR, I can't say it's, 'safe', but if your used to taking 12, 14 shouldn't be an issue, people go up to 500mg.
S'all tolerance and how much you can stand the itching. The higher you go, the more likely your going to want to take your skin off.

Keep safe.

I think you will be fine in moving from 360mgs to 420mgs.

Anyone tried 420mg?!

yeah it's not going to be amazing or anything. i used to take 800-1200mg in a day and yes it works above the 'ceiling dose' of 500mg. The conversion to morphine isn't responsible for all of codeine's effects. However, it's not going to be great at high doses as the side effects start to get in the way. May as well try but once your tolerance is too high codeine is useless.

codeine "efficiancy" depends from person to person, depending on your liver you will metabolise more or less into morphine (it's generally said to be around 10% ) so a "sweet spot" dose will also vary from person to person, furthermore it's not safe to increase your dose of recreational codeine because of increased tolerance and developing a stronger habit.

You will be 100% fine upping your dose simply by 60mg, not a problem.

Like phatass said, it varies from person to person when it comes to the "high/sweet spot" due to a couple of factors - tolerance, weight, ect. I'm a bigger guy so when I used to take codeine it took more than that to get to my "sweet spot". So for me 420mg was alright, nothing "amazing".

Are they a prep with 30mg codeine only? Or along with 500mg paracetamol/acetaminophen?If it's the latter, please tell me you aren't just eating all those pills and search CWE.

It's really more about liver enzymes.. my experience would suggest size has almost nothign to do with it.. I'm a really big guy, and when I started out I was completely nodding out on ~100mg (minus whatever was lost in CWE, probably about 10% at that point)

Course now 8 years later I've reached the ceiling and it barely does shite.

My recommendation is stop taking the pills, but if you dont (and you wont), you should be fine.
