I CWEd 32 of Boots own (500mg/8mg) paracetamol/codeine last night. Used about 150ml water, used a coffee filter and got a really milky product. And then put it through a t-shirt , and ended up with another milky product. A little white gunk was left inside the original cup, and also inside the coffee filter. I presumed after filtering twice, and getting that gunk out I'd be ok to drink it, which I did.

Today I'm getting myself a little worried by thinking that the gunk that was left in the cup, and in the filter, didn't look like a full packet of paracetamols worth. I wasn't sick at all. Had no nausea. And no abdominal pain. And feel fine today, nearly 24 hours after ingestion. Am I worrying about nothing?
 
If you didn't swallow all of the gunk when you drank the solution then you should be fine, a ton of the gunk will have been in the filters too. Please take care when doing CWEs in the future and make sure to not leave too much gunk in the actual solution that you are going to drink.

It is not uncommon for the solution to be slight cloudy, as long as the gunk is out of the solution you are drinking I would say that it is relatively safe. I would recommend using the search function and finding out as much as you can about CWEs so that next time you get a much higher yield and much less gunk :)

Thanks.

No I didn't drink the gunk. Its just there didn't seem enough gunk to equate to nearly 16grams worth. That's the main reason I'm worried. When I've CWEd in the past there has always been much more 'gunk' leftover. Oh well, Its been 24 hours now, and not had a single side effect. So should be ok. I'll filter five times next time!
 
Also remember never to squeeze it through the filter as that will just get more paracetamol/APAP going through the filter by force.

Take care

Ah. This I did. I assumed solids wouldn't be able to pass through the filter regardless.

this advice as a general rule of thumb is damn good, however, waste not want not, the best way i found of getting as much codeine as possible with as little apap as possible is to do the CWE normally until filtering at which point i double up on coffee filters (which should always be done anyway), once filtered i *carefully and gently* remove the 1st filter from the 2nd filter (still leaving the 2nd filter over the container) and squeeze the 1st filter into the 2nd filter, that way you get more codeine from the bulk of the apap still in the 1st filter through to the end solution.

but seriously be careful, no drug is worth loosing your life over, ESPECIALLY codeine.
 
So am I ok to think I'm in the clear now then? Considering what I have said in this thread?
 
im not trying to scare you but its not uncommon for paracetamol toxicity to display no symptoms for +24 hours, i know this isnt a constructive thing to say, but from personal experience its theese moments that make you rethink the path you are choosing which regardless of what you may think now, is a good thing, thats not say you have to stop but moderation is the key to the healthiest possible relationship with drugs and maintaing that moderation is always fortified by scaring yourself shitless.

however, if you havent had any symptoms at all, you are more than likley in the clear, if you are still concerned get yourself some milk thistle extract, it does wonders for your liver and will no doubt at least give you some piece of mind, hospitals even use its active ingredient in combination with other medicines in treating death cap and destroying angel mushroom poisioning and that literally eats your liver beyond all repair and even then they have saved plenty of people this way, also avoid alcohol for a while or anything else potentially harmful to your hepatic system.

also you may aswell not take any codeine if you are going to filter it 5 times because your are going to get less and less codeine through each filter you add, and so will have to add more pills which means adding more apap, best thing you can do is be patient and careful, invest in lab filters, look in to potentiation (there are hundreds of threads regarding this) and wait at least 4 days in between each dose
to try and keep tolerance to a minimum, and even then if you are worried you can buy "Acetylcysteine" online which is an antidote for paracetamol poisioning although that seems to be taking it too far, IMHO if you have to do this much work for quick buzz (thats not even that great and ushers in many many problems) its not worth getting high, sadly ive seen many people fuck up with CWE's and sometimes it seems safer to take heroin then it is to mess about with HUGE levels of apap, obviously im not asking you to take heroin of course, that would be ridiculous, im just trying to give you a balanced argument as to the highs and lows of messing around with OTC opiates and put everything into perspective.

as ever a CWE is a science and so should be treated as a lab experiment for best and safest results. people wouldnt half arse and cut corners making nitro-glycerin, why? because they would definetly die, a CWE gone wrong can do that if you fuck up bad enough and so should be treated the same.

good luck, i hope you are okay and if you want to talk more (because i have been here myself) PM me :)
 
Check out the CWE info linked in my sig :) it explains the method pretty welll.

The gunk is a poor way of judging how much paracetamol you have removed. Codeine products do not usually produce a miliky solution - Paramol is notorious for that, due to the coating on the tablets, but cocodamol is usually clear.

Squeezing the t shirt/filter is definitely not a good idea.

Corin is right - the symptoms of liver failure don't appear for a good while after ingesting the paracetamol, by which time it is often too late. If you are concerned that you did ingest some paracetamol, please get yourself to A+E ASAP to get your paracetamol levels checked - it isn't worth messing about, as it is fatal and a very unpleasant way to die at that!

Am going to close this now as I think everything has been covered, but feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any queries, and please don't hesitate to get yourself checked out if you are concerned. The CWE thread is linked in my sig :)
