Anyone else had a codeine addiction?

I don't like this bad feeling so here goes.

Stone I'm sorry I asked you not to post on my thread. I was hurt and angry at you for the way you spoke to me the other day but as you were helping someone (I had you on ignore so I didn't know this) then it was immature of me to ask you not to comment on my thread. I'm taking you off ignore and I'm sorry for my part of things but I was hurt that you would be derogatory to me because my opinion differed to yours. It's fair enough to have different opinions and to argue those constructive but there's no need to come out and say "You're talking shit."
And Shambles I'm sorry for the things I said to you to.

Everyone is welcome to post on my thread whether we're friends or not as long as it's related to the subject matter and helping others. Sorry for any offence I've caused.

Can we please get back to codeine now? I made this thread to help people with codeine addiction and thanks to EVERYONE who has posted so far and has helped in any way, that's you too shambles and stone. so if anyone has anything else to discuss please PM me as I really don't want mods closing it.

Take care,
Evey xxxx

EDIT: I've also heard that tonic water and bananas help with restless legs too. You can't go wrong with B vitamins as they help balance out mood. I didn't know they helped with restless legs so that's a useful tip.
 
Good tip on restless legs there.

Well I dunno if its 'good' or not cos I haven't tried it, but I will give it a go because they drive me FUCKING MAD and I have a shitload of bananas. I get restless legs from mild codeine w/ds and I hate it. Even from an extra Nytol/Phenergan I'll get symptoms.

I've not a real addiction to codeine myself; I did a LOT of it over the six months I lived in my shared house, but now it's just the odd CWE or bottle of linctus here and there. And as for this thread, there's a place for everyone, as long as they're not posting blatantly off topic shite, so let's all hug and make up huh and try help each other out <3
 
I didn't think my PM had got through :) I was going to edit it actually, cos it's quite long and I put all the horrible stuff (not that horrible really) at the start and the nice stuff at the end, I was going to move the nice stuff to the start so you read it first, so please read it backwards :D All it says, really, is that threads are a group effort, the work of the community, and as such I don't consider them to be owned by anyone in particular, even the thread starter, although you're entitled to be proud of starting a popular thread. I managed to spin that out into four paragraphs of dense text =D

I'm sorry how I acted over this thread. Of course it's for everyone. I haven't been myself lately. I'll just put people I disagree with on ignore n leave it be. I don't want to stop someone helping someone or receiving help n I wasn't thinking. I was thinking how rude the person had been n was being selfish. I'm truly sorry about it x
 
I had StoneHappyMonday on ignore for about six months when I first joined, now I'm in love with him. Keep an open mind <3

Tenner's in the post knock. <3

Eve - I have a way with words. Usually foul-mouthed. I understand its not to everyone's liking. Don't take it personally.

Oh and btw. Maybe its a cultural difference. ;) The country you're in the north of, I'm in the south. Chalk meets cheese an' all that. No hard feelings.
 
I've fluttered between codeine and heroin addiction for the last couple of years. I tend to use heroin for a while, get clean, do OK for a while, then decide to get high on some codeine, then once I've got myself hooked back on the codeine I think fuck it and go back to the smack.

Im clean now and have been for a while but the temptation is always there, especially as I live a 2 minute walk from a couple of chemists and when I've got no tolerance a mixture of co-codamol and ibuprofen-codeine is enough to get a bit of a buzz if you take a couple of times the recommended dose of each (not recommended, terrible for your body).

And having experienced both strong codeine WDs (around a gram a day, maybe more) and heroin WDs (smoking only, never the pin but up to 1.5G a day) codeine WDs are not as bad as heroin withdrawal but they are certainly no fun.

For me heroin WDs are mostly being sick and feeling sick, whereas codeine WDs made my arse horrendous to the point where I shat myself a few times (aaaah junkie life) and a weird tingly feeling.

I would REALLY recommend anyone who's going through any opiate withdrawal to read up on the benefits of loperamide in opiate withdrawal. Loperamide is Immodium and it's actually an opiate but it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier so you don't get high off it (unless you take MASSIVE doses and have no tolerance). If you are going to go through a withdrawal do a load of reading up on it, (just google loperamide opiate withdrawal).

I only found out about it once I was doing heroin withdrawals, where it really REALLY helps, but I would suspect for a codeine cluck it would almost eliminate the symptoms. From a reasonable heroin cold turkey taking about 30mg (15 tablets) of it really helped so I think it would do wonders for codeine withdrawal. Yes that's a lot more than the recommended dose, but read up on it, it's actually fairly safe to take pretty high doses of the stuff.

To be fairs typing 'MY thread' is pretty timid compared to other stuff that goes on.

Aye but it's fundamental to discussion that threads are for everyone :) "other stuff" is more context dependent and grey-area. Anyway, moving swiftly on, codeine addiction...

I was addicted to OTC sleeping pills for years esp. Promethazine. Yes can be very trippy and dangerous. I would never recommend these to someone who may easily b vulnerable to switching addictions I used these wen tolerance to opiates grew. Im amazed they are not regulated in the same way.

They are semi-regulated in the sense that the pharmacist has to use their discretion as to whether or not to hand them over. Plus they'll always remind you that they're for short-term use only. Try buying from the same pharmacist several times within a short period and they'll in all likelihood refuse you (as long as you're recognised, that is).

I'd argue that there's little abuse potential there, no recreational potential whatsoever, and the diminishing returns from using promethazine for three consecutive days or more tend to act as a deterrent to habituation.

That said, it must be remembered that promethazine is a serious drug with a history of use as an antipsychotic as well as an antihistamine. Not the kind of drug you want to be necking like Smarties by any means.
 
I'm not sure it was really used as an antipsychotic all that much. So a history of it being used barely, yes it is has antipsychotic properties, but they are very weak. Other first generation antipsychotics are far more effective.
 
They drink loads of that shit in America, Codeine and prometh syrup. 800 bucks a pint

jesus wept
 
As long as you're not hammering promethazine day in, day out then it's not really that much of an issue really.

Obviously codeine and promethazine has a bad name for overdoses, but alcohol is invariable involved.
 
Dear Lord $800!

Over here you could get 3 x 200 mls of codeine linctus 'syrup' for 9 quid, then get a pack of sominex for 3.50 and make your own. So make your own for 12 quid.

Awh bless. It was a lovely PM, thanks. I didn't think there were any horrible bits in it. You just explained how things were n why people were upset which was appreciated. Thanks for the lovely things you said. Cheques in the post :)

Thanks wcote thats nice of you to say that but I upset a few people n I shouldn't have done. Was stressed over something minor but no excuse to take it out on others. I hate arguing with people for long.

Sorry if I'm slow at responding to posts I've got literally zillions of E-mails from bluelight posts trying to keep with them haha.

Jade how are you feeling? How are the withdrawals?
