CWE: Has Codeine ceiling dose been proven?

So to my knowledge if u drink more than 400-450mg of codeine it's not going to be any stronger than taking 400-450mg because ya liver can only convert that much codeine at once to morphine.

Has anyone on here tried taking 500mg or more & had a stronger effect?

Has this actually been proven by scientific tests, or just speculation of experiences?
 
I've tried higher doses multiple times and the ceiling dose theory has always held true for me.
 
Not ture a mate of mine who use's this site has a very high tollorince to codeine a 500mg dose wouldent touch the side's he's taken 2000mg at one time but usally has 1700mg....i think not to sure bout that i'll PM him
 
From what I've gathered the "ceiling effect" does exist, but it differs from person to person... Apparently the average ceiling is 400-600mg, but I read a report of someone saying they took 1000mg and did notice a huge increase in effect from 400mg. I really wouldn't recommend anyone going over 400mg though. I'm sure there is some sort of diminishing effect (I've noticed this even in going from 300mg to 400mg) and lots of nasty side effects will start to show. I myself have never tried a dose over 400mg. This is because I use the CWE method with OTC 8mg pills, which also contain 15mg caffeine. So 400mg of codeine translates to 750mg of caffeine and I just don't feel comfortable doing more caffeine than that at once.

I dug up this thread:

Yes I always have a ceiling effect with Codeine.

And anything above 400mg is a waste of time because of the side effects.

DHC on the other had although some people say is the same, it's really not, you don't get the side effects of codeine, and there is no ceiling dose. Lasts longer too. But I know you don't see DHC in the US much.....just like we don't have hydrocodone here...
