I've been curious about Codeine for a while.
I read the usual posts about Nurofen + and decided to buy a pack of 24 along with some Antihistamines (Cholorphenamine 4mg). Wreck-less guess work.

Patiently and carefully tried to split those torpedo sized pills into 2 parts but to no avail ... these buggers are stuck together with junkie proof glue.

So I dug deeper looking for CWE techniques but seems N+ are not the best oblongs to try and extract.

Sunday night/Monday morning after a big glass of Jacob's Creek and 4 Guinness I decide to try the N+ … I’ve had problems sleeping for over a week and decide this might be helpful ... it’s amazing how we delude ourselves.

05:00 I decide to just split 'em edge ways ... half n half and take the chance that eating only the N+ half I'll catch a buzz. I taste the N+ side which is seems to sting a little but the Ibuprofen side stings a lot more so maybe those folks were right after all.

05:20 I get the dry heave even considering eating any OTC or prescribed pill actually even vitamins et al ... I’m a total train-wreck with MDMA and puke almost instantaneously. I eat about 20 N+ nasty crude halves (Maybe 160mg Codeine … a big fuckin’ maybe) and 3 of the antihistamines (12mg) without any issue [really odd]. I look at the chopping board and decide that this looks positively suicidal with all the bits of pills and packets kicking about ... maybe I should hide my *cough* movie collection (granted a very meager collection … honest) just incase I actually top myself by accident and really embarrass my mother!

05:30 I’m pretty sensitive to drugs when I have no tolerance. I can catch a hit off a joint just sitting in the same room and taking a few puffs knocks me on my back giggling like a school girl. I’m also susceptible to psychosomatic reactions so I’m sitting here wishing I had a flea collar as I itch and scratch gently from head to foot.

05:40 I’m feeling a little sleepy but then what do I expect at almost 6am after a few beers. Tell you what though I’m getting more itchy by the moment so maybe a shower would be the order of the day.

05:50 I’m certainly feeling a little drowsy but decide to eat the other 4 halves I have left anyway. The idea of a pill over-dose sorta scares me at this moment … why am I eating OTC meds to catch a buzz when I have access to other tried and tested substances at my disposal … seriously curious?

06:00 I feel highly motivated at the moment [actually more so than I have for a week] so hit the shower which turns out to be a really nice experience although I feel a little drunk. The itching seems to have increased but is somewhat pleasurable to scratch.

06:30 Out of the shower looking out the window at the tree’s in the park. Wishing I had dosed on MDMA and went for a walk. My pupils are like piss holes in the snow … good sign? This bloody itching is … well … bloody itchy! Feel a definite warmth but can’t decide if it’s the shower or Codeine.

06:40 Decide to have a look at Trip Reports and make sure I’m looking for the right signs. I find it really funny that the only thread discussing Codeine is actually discussing the itches more than the Codeine experience. This makes me laugh for about 5 minutes as I scratch my toes, forehead and thighs.

06:50 Well if this is the N+ Codeine experience I guess next time it’ll be a CWE (Cold Water Extraction). I seem to have caught a light buzz. My hands feel funny … sorta numb. I jump up to get a drink of juice from the kitchen and feel sorta breathless when I get there and on the return … this worries me a little. I can feel my heart beat and a throbbing all the way down my fingers and feel a little nauseous … anxiety?

07:00 I feel extraordinarily tired, somewhat limp and the throbbing feeling continues up my arms to my fingers. I also feel very hungry. I put on some Pink Floyd and wrap myself in a big soft quilt.

12:00 Well I obviously fell asleep but awoke feeling pleasant and refreshed but with a little discomfort in my abdomen.

Conclusion: If this is all Codeine has to offer then I’ll be loathed to try again. I’m especially concerned with eating so many pills to catch such a light buzz but maybe that’s just me.
 
Don't give up on the drug yet . . . it takes a couple of doses to appreciate opioites. Weither this is due to you finding the high or you getting addicted is still up for debate :)
 
codeine is a highly enjoyable experience until you get your hands on stronger opiates. i find codeine to be a useful aid to sleep and a mild relaxant, but quite boring in the larger scheme of things.
