Can you nod off on codeine?

If an opiate-naive person were to take 300mg (i heard the dose to get high off them is 150mg so i'm doubling it), would he nod off?
Can you do that on codeine?
 
no, i'm just asking out of curiosity since i'ma get a pharmaceutical technician education and so yeah, i'm just trying to learn about opiates atm

so a opiate naive person would nod off if they took 300mg? first time use

i'm currently getting off drugs so dw
 
^ depends on several factors - primarily the person's natural tolerance and how well they metabolise codeine. It's complicated - 5-10% is converted to morphine - some people are good metabolisers and produce more, some lack the enzyme entirely - and there is another active metabolite, codeine-6-glucuronide, which is responsible for at least some (if not most) of it's opioid activity. It's really variable from person to person. I usually recommend 100-200mg for a starting dose.. 300mg could make someone naive/sensitive noddy (and probably vomit too). Codeine is also incredibly itchy, moreso than many other opioids, so antihistamines are v useful.

Remember to advise people not to mix it with benzos or alcohol :)
 
i believe an opiate naive person most definately would nod from 300.

first time i ever took opiates, it was codeine.. i did about 50mg and nodded a substantial amount, but that might be different for everyone.

Sorry, ofc you know that but I always like to make the point in case others are reading the thread (which they are.. heloooo!)

300mg is def a high dose for someone opioid naive.
 
well personally i took it on an empty stomach so the 50mg worked in about 20-30 minutes, high lasted about two hours or so.

i was about 154 pounds back then and in extremely good physical state. might have had something to do with it also.
 
you don't need to apologise, it's important to know that you shouldn't mix the two

is there a difference between opiates and opioids?
 
you have alot of opiate related questions for someone who isnt interested in using them hahaha

but yah, you can nodd off codeine if you are a noob
 
yeah 'cause i'm gonna go to a school and become a pharmaceutical technician and i wanna learn about opiates
 
Funny thing with me, is if i take a dose of DHC that would get my high, then pop 4 codeine within half an hour i'm nodding, by the time i hit 2 hours the nod is gone... so i'm giving credit to the codeine.
 
opiates are alkaloids that come "naturally" from the poppy (morphine, codeine, thebaine). opioids include natural and "processed" opiates, i.e. semi synthetic (heroin, oxycodone, hydromorphone etc), and synthetic (fentanyl, methadone etc)

so all opiates are opioids but opiate refers to a specific category of opioids.
 
so this this a little complicating, or so it seems at least, but i'll learn eventually, very interesting facts, thank you for providing them
 
so tramadol + codeine = increased risk of respiratory depression if i've understood right, i'm sorry for asking so many times, i just wanna be sure i know what i'm talking about when i'm talking to someone about this kinda stuff
