co-codamol cwe

[figgie smalls]

Hii so swim has came across 18 co-codamol capsules and is planning on doing a cwe.(30mg codeine phosphate hernihydrate/500mg paracetamol) Swim has spent the last half hour searching forums (not posting this is the first post) on how many capsule he should use but cannot get a straight answer from reading other peoples posts. swim is taking 25-50mg of quetiapine most nights to aid sleep + sertaline for depression. Will swim have to use all the capsules in one go to get properly zonked for recreational use or is codeidne dangerous combined with quetiapine? Someone please help swim needs something to take the edge of without killing himself8) sorry if this has been answered 1000x before but swim realy couldnt find the right info

You can safely take up to 3 co codamol tablets in one go; that's 90mg of codeine-you can catch a buzz on that if you've a low tolerance. I wouldn't use cold water for a mere 18 pills. If they were 8/500's that's a different story, but your's are 'script strength. Why risk wasting good codeine?(And you will waste codeine). Hell, why not just buy some codeine linctus? It's otc in the UK, and you get 500mg codeine per bottle.

Edit: we're not supposed to use that "swim" nonsense on BL; it sounds dumb, and it really won't do you any good re self-incrimination- everybody knows it's you that's trying to extract the pills.

Well, if your yields were 100 percent, then you'd be taking 150 mgs, which is a relatively high but perfectly safe codeine dose for a first time user. Of course, you probably won't get anywhere near 100% yields; it can be very difficult to calculate exactly how much you've got. (The reason I never use CWE). I guess you could evaporate your filtered solution, and then weigh the codeine residue on a micro scale, but it's probably not worth it.

Yeah that's why i used 5. It's my first time doing a cwe so i assumed that i would have wasted a fair bit of codeine. That was an understatment lol. Sure i spilled the thing all over the place and just said f-it and popped 3 of the pills. But sure experience is every thing ill learn from my mistakes. Thanks again man for the advice

No problem mate, I used to be mad for the old codeine extracting back in my younger days (I used solvents instead of water, though).

Anyways, all the best to you.( IME the linctus is probably a better option, as it's almost pure, and you're not risking ingesting harmful amounts of paracetamol.)
