You are a lovely fucker at jeart SHM - evidently you've lost the ability to fool peepa new to u now! WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG???? :D xxx
 
Can someone put this thread in the index of threads for me please? I know there's the codeine one but this one is for codeine addiction (want this to be a non-triggering place with anyone trying to overcome C/A) n if someone would do that, would be very grateful. Thanks xxxx
 
My prescribed codeine lasted nearly 2 weeks.

Back to doing nearly a pack a day, CWE of course.

All in order, back pain is manageable. All good.

With time I'm starting to feel worse in the morning, no where near gear or even when I had codeine and morphine. Subbies were long enough HL
 
My friend gave me half a bottle of Oramorph. My love for codeine is well documented on here so I thought I was in for a massive treat. 60mg orally dosed made me feel groggy, headachy and slightly warm and fuzzy. Just like when I tried the J Collis Browne stuff but slightly stronger.

I'd take 400mg codeine over this stuff any day of the week. I'll try plugging it if I ever get my hands on any more, but it just lacks that awesome buzzy chatty feeling I get from codeine.
 
Yeah, morphine was a massive disappoinment to me too, Curious. Just makes me groggy and itchy. No real euphoria and certainly no upbeat, buzzy energy like some opies. It's one of my least faves.

(i don't rate it as a painkiller either, incidentally, certainly not orally anyway)

Speaking of which, do bear in mind the massive difference in bioavailability of plugged morphine compared to oral, Curious. Off the top of my head the figures are ~15% oral vs ~80% rectal but do please check that cos it is but from memory. It's certainly in the ballpark though.
 
Yeah oral morphine is more 30% give of take. and more like 60% give or take rectally. Problem is the give or take can be 10%!


But yeah rectally you get more, and it hits you hard! Its a waste orally. Unless you have never done opiates before in which case it will do the job!
 
Codeine actually makes for a good taper. I used to do it all the time when on the gear - mainly with DHC, but codeine phosphate doesn't make for too bad a stand-in). The w/d from codeine itself are actually surprisingly nasty (especially in the gut department :|) but you can at least taper down as low as you like if you use linctus. That works out pricey though so probably best saved for the final push rather than from the getgo.

Good luck with the poppies - I've heard nothing but Bad Things about coming off those things :|
 
I actually switched from Codeine and Morphine (with Oxy thrown in sometimes) to Poppy Tea because of WD! With Codeine I could guarantee cold sweats by the morning no matter how late I dosed, but with PT I don't even notice it until 24 hours-ish, I can leave 48h between doses and not be TOO uncomfortable.
 
Yeah, it does rather depend on you metabolism does codeine. That... whatever it's called one in the liver that breaks it down. I'm rather fortunate in that I seem to get on especially well with codeine. One-off dose lasts me 24h... a long as I stick to one-off doses and don't start redosing cos if I do that it does seem to make it a considerably briefer experience.

I think it's primarily CYP2D6, with CYP3A4 playing a small part.
I always try and dose just once a day, in the morning with a hot cup of sweet tea if possible. <3
PT is the most functional opiate (mix) I've ever taken. The Thebaine stops me gouching for the first few hours so I can work full well on it, and can go a damn long time (in terms of opiate addiction) without dosing. But getting off it? Those qualities backfire!
 
Can quite believe it. Long-acting opies are a complete nightmare to come off for the most part. Subutex I consider a bit of an exception to the rule but have seen plenty horror stories about extended w/d from the stuff so perhaps I just got lucky there too. Compared to heroin or methadone it's an absolute doddle though. Unfortunately, I can't see many docs/DSPs being knowledgeable enough about pod use for there to be much chance of a subbies script and they're bastard expensive online :\
