Codeine - First Time - a dissapointment...

...so far

I reently got my hands on some Nurofen +. I've tried some other opiates before, Oxycodone, Kratom, Pod tea, with very pleasurable results. But I hadn't yet tried and straight codeine.

I would call my opiate use light, once every 2-3 weeks over the last few months. The only time I increase the rate of use is when testing out a new drug.

So, on Wednesday, I CWE 6 N+ pills. That's 6*12.8 = 76.8mg of codeine before extraction. No way to tell how much codeine got through, but I did the best extraction I could. I drank it, and felt the tickle of a threshold opiate dose. Just a the slightest bit of relaxation, obviously no euphoria. I took such a small dose because I wanted to see how I handled codeine in that form, see if I got nauseous or had an allergic reaction. I felt fine.

So last night, Friday, I tried a "real" dose. I used my remaining N+, 18 pills, 18 * 12.8 = 230.4 before extraction. I used 100ml of water.

I took it, and felt it within 20 minutes, but it didn't really hit me that hard. It was definitely stronger than the Wednesday dose, but not by as much as I had hoped. There was a nice relaxation/body warmth, but very little in the head as far as euphoria goes. Since I don't have any tolerance, I expected to be knocked onto my ass when it hit, like when I took 20mg of Oxycodone.

The way I see it, there are a few possibilities:
1. My extraction was poor. Either I was in some way sloppy, or I didn't use enough water to dissolve the amount of codeine, or whatever else could have happened since it was only my second extraction.

2. I'm one of those people that has a low ceiling, or doesn't react strongly to codeine.

3. My expectations were too high for the amount I took. Next time (which will not be for a few weeks), I'll try a higher dosage.

I don't think it's a tolerance issue, as I said I typically put 2-3 weeks between instances of opiate use.

Overall it was a decent experience, relaxing, and I did get that wonderful opiate afterglow, especially when I decided to lay down and go to sleep and felt that "melting into bed" sensation. But I did have that feeling of "this is it?" through out.

I'm thinking that over the next few times I try it, if I don't get the results I would like, I might try a combo. I get a very nice euphoria from Kratom, but no body high. Maybe I will combine the two and get the best of both worlds.

Thoughts, suggestions?

I've got no suggestions. If you have already taken oxycodone, codeine won't bring you any interesting effects. Although I find myself oxycodone overrated and I prefer morphine to it, it's only a bit weaker than morphine for me when it comes to i.v. use. You took it orally but that doesn't matter. If you felt the effects of a semi-synthetic opiate that doesn't rely on metabolism and acts on opioid receptors itself, you won't feel much from codeine.

Alright, heroin is a prodrug too but it is immediately metabolized to morphine and 6-MAM in the brain.
 
Yeah after running out of hydrocodone I had some codeine so I CWE'd around 150mg. I felt nothing but itchy and sweaty. I really don't get how you can get high off of this stuff.
 
Codeine IS a great disappointment. Friends at college all bring up T3's and how "3 or 4 of those fuckers can get you set for an entire day". I wish 3 or 4 T3's could make me feel anything other than pissed off that I can still feel everything.
 
Other day I had 7, 30mg lots of codeine and I got a comfortable high off of it - I haven't used opiates before however and this probably had alot to do with it.
Worst part was the itchiness the next day.
 
Maybe I expected too much. I was hoping this could be a decent "regular use" opiate since it's easy to obtain. I'll have to stick to kratom/pods then.

I'd say after trying Oxycodone, Pod tea and Kratom (Oxy & PPT especially) you were definitely expecting far too much.
After trying Heroin for the first time(~1.7g consumed in about a week) even doses as large as 300mg+ barely effected me.
It kept any withdrawals away nicely, but no effects akin to what I used to get from it at much lower doses :\

p.s. Atlien3 - It's most definitely not horrid ;)

You can't really compare something OTC like codeine with stronger stuff like oxycodone and morphine (ala poppy pods), can you?

Codeine is weak and is useful as a moderate painkiller and to help with w/ds. If you have a minute tolerance you might find it recreational.
 
Hmmmm I can't see where you guys are coming from, really...saying it to be horrible and stuff...I've done poppy tea, smack, and some oxys...as well as milder opiates codeine and DHC...Granted, it takes 400mg of codeine to give me a decent effects, but I feel nice and content nonetheless...No-one would expect a 5% beer to be the same as a 40% shot, but I think codeine still has a rightful place...it certainly dose the trick when i've nothing stonger about.

Apparently not? I didn't expect it to be the same experience I got from oxy, but I do read about people really enjoying codeine when taking large doses. I assumed I could get something enjoyable out of it.
 
To the OP -

You most likely didn't do the CWE correctly. There are many guides on the internet. From what I remember reading, Neurofen + isn't as easy to CWE as pills with paracetamol (acetaminophen.) I think it has to do with the Ibuprofens solubility or what not in water (someone correct me if im wrong, im no chemist.)

What I am basically saying is, try doing a CWE with codeine/acetaminophen pills instead of codeine/ibuprofen pills. And make sure you have an empty stomach (make your last meal at least 3 hours before you dose.)

Good luck. :)
