It was so mild it could barely be considered WDs. just sore legs and grumpiness after 24 hours of not dosing which stayed for 2-3 days.
I used codeine every day for about a year and a half, 400mg minimum, and that was easy as piss to quit. I got some very mild symptoms, but nothing much. Codeine is pretty mild. It's different for everyone, but IME it's hard to build up much of a habit with just codeine. Not that I recommend it, there's other reasons not to use codeine too frequently than just physical dependence.
It really depends on your personal level of morphine metabolism. When I was taking ~600mg daily codeine it took me 80mg oxycodone to get to the same level. I'd say I'm at the extreme end of the spectrum of morphine metabolism though, one of the few who converts alot more than usual.
For what it's worth, I remember the first time I noticed withdrawal symptoms. I had been using for about a year, at a level of approximately 250mg a day. I didn't really realise it was withdrawals until I got back from the camping trip, at the time I thought I had just caught some stomach thing. I had diorrhea, was agitated, but it wasn't a horrible experience and only lasted a day or two.
I went through withdrawals at one stage at about the 800mg a day level as well. By this time it had been probably 5 years of non-stop use. This was hell. I shat orange/green liquid until my ring burnt like fire. At night I'd get the worst fever/temperature swings bringing on a neverending cascade of semi-lucid dreams/delusions/hallucinations - ie thinking my blanket was actually a kind of tetris matrix of metal cans that if i rearranged in the right order would provide me the correct level or warming to stop me freezing/burning up. thinking people were yelling at me. etc etc. could not sleep the first 2 nights at all. The second night was the worst. unstoppable pain/nausea worse than the most horrible migraines I used to get as a child.
I'm at somewhere around 8ish years now, was taking up to a max of 1200mg per dose, sometimes with a second dose later in the day. and I simply will not even consider the possibility of quitting rapidly. I've been doing OK with a taper..
Anyway, it depends entirely on you and the characteristics of your body. Dont be fooled into thinking codeine is 'safe' from addiction. Even if you are one of the ones that doesn't get very far with it, once you get a taste for opiates there's plenty of opportunities in life to switch to other ones.
Sorry, should clarify I meant codeine metabolising into morphine, metabolisation TO morphine, not metabolisation OF morphine. What exactly is your issue with my post though?

hhehe. Good luck
Is it dangerous to re-filter the APAP sludge? I filtered through a dress shirt the solution came out pretty clear, I then put all the sludge back in water and re-filtered. There was considerably less sludge in the shirt and the solution came out more cloudy. Tried to put the solution through coffee filters and it still came out cloudy. What happened?
Is it better to crush or dissolve? The ones I usually get dissolve in less then a minute, never saw a point in crushing as it takes a lot of time crushing 80 pills.
Either way felt a hell of a lot stronger when I drank it. Should I be worried?
400mg Codeine + 30mg of Diazepam.
