Codeine --- 2nd time--- This time with some added 5-HTP weirdness

Having a pretty tough last few weeks... by the weekend I felt like I could use a little pick-me-up. Also had some anxiety and decided I was officially unable to sleep and required a little chemical assistance. Time to be retuned to the land of nod.... (Zzzzz) :D . Approx 200mg of Codeine Phosphate was ingested. Eeuchy... bitter... I drop 2 5-HTP's also. So that's 200mg of 5-HTP. I read elsewhere that 5-HTP was nice with Codeine. I and wanted to see if it made the 5-HTP any stronger.

Somewhere around T+0:30 I notice the familiar codeine feeling starting. Last time I did 120Mg so I'm hoping for a far bit stronger here. It's a sort of mild sedative kind of feeling. I kind of feel a bit slower yet my balance, co-ordination and vision are all unaffected... Around T+0:40 I feel it a bit stronger now. I feel it in the same way as last time. I feel slower yet this feeling seems to come and go almost in "waves". Sometimes I move or do something and I feel it again and then it goes and I just feel it more mildly. I feel a peaceful relaxed feeling. I can easily waste a lot of time doing pretty much nothing...:D Great. Good for relaxing. I realise it is definitely not near strong enough as I'd hoped for. I decide to go the whole hog and prepare the remaining 100mg. I ingest the remaining approx 100mg of Codeine. Which brings it up to approx 300mg. I do some menial tasks around the house and interact with other members of the house. I feel much too sober and clear minded. I feel fine around them and they have no way of knowing I am under the influence of any substance. I feel a little more chatty, mostly because the codeine loosens me up and helps me to relax I think. I can act completely sober with ease. Somewhere around t+0:50 I feel the second hit of codeine kick in. It feels pretty darn good and kinda heavy. I decide to retreat to my own quarters. I don't want to have to explain my mental state/co-ordination at this time. I find that I am able to act fine I just feel more like I want to relax and enjoy myself. I feel pretty happy and relaxed. This is pretty enjoyable. At around T+1:00 I notice my head feels really warm. I turn off the heater. I also open my window. It is a pretty cold winter night. My face feels quite hot. My body doesn't feel hot. I don't yet feel any of that feverish sickly feeling in my head yet my head is that hot I could easily pass for having a fever. What happened? I never remember getting a hot head last time I took codeine although the dose was much lower only 120mg. The time would be just about right for when the 5-HTP should kick in. Did the codeine make the 5-HTP react in a much stronger way? I've heard rumours before about combining codeine with other drugs and possible risk of serotonin syndrome... 5-HTP is supposed to be metabolised into serotonin... maybe it wasn't to wise mixing it with codeine??

Anyway another 10 or 15mins and my head doesn't feel so hot any more. I listen to some music and generally chill out which is great. I haven't done much chilling out the last few weeks. Something makes me want to relax more. Oh and by the way I get pretty itchy too which didn't happen last time. I am sitting there dreaming away with my eyes closed. I can dream quite a lot better. My imagination is going. I feel the slightest hint of something psychedelic almost. For some reason I begin to get a bit afraid. I try to settle myself. I can't. I abandon dreaming and open my eyes. Over the next 15 or 20 minutes I find I can't really relax. Something has unsettled me. Kind of like when you get a bit scared on a trip and cannot shake it. My whole room is dark except for the curtain which are backlit by the moonlight. I look at them for a few seconds. I begin to see patterns. Just simple dark lines that move up and down. Visual hallucination. They are right in front of my field of vision. Now that my imagination or whatever stated them they don't stop. Moving dark lines all up and down, all over the place. I have to look away from the curtain so I don't see the annoying moving patterns any more. Elsewhere I notice some very mild moving "shadow" type hallucinations. All up only some very mild visuals. Could easily not be noticed.

I still feel a bit afraid so I decide to take a drink. Euurgh. I definitely feel a very mild psychedelic type feeling as I can smell and taste the vodka even before I open the premix and it don't taste good... I don't think my body likes alcohol on codeine very much at all. I struggle to finish 1 bottle of premix just in hopes of it settling me down a bit. I fall asleep. I wake up around 7 hours. Grab a quick snack and head straigh back to bed. I sleep a total of 17 hours. I did awaken many times and actually feel quite energised only thing is I felt 5-HTP'ed to the max and feel that nice sleepiness. It was too much for me to resist. I definitely think the codeine boosted the 5-HTP as I've never felt it this much before and I've had much, much bigger doses of 5-HTP before. Now next day after the codeine and the 5-HTP and I feel really happy and great. Unfortunately by the end of that day I stated to get some nasty headaches. I am not prone to headaches and rarely ever get them unless drug induced.

Oh well... cheers that's my short trip report.

If anyone knows of possible dangers or interactions between codeine and 5-HTP then please post! Thanks

Anecdotally I've never found codeine and 5htp to interact badly, although having said that, my own experiences have lead me to find that combining alcohol and codeine is more enjoyable than 5htp and codeine (i prefer dihydrocodeine syrup to swallowing the codeine phosphate halves), but it's all entirely subjective.

incidentally, i often end up with mild headaches after 5htp as well.
 
^^never had 5-HTP headaches as bad as what I had the night after this combo. Never had Codeine at that dosage before though so I have not idea if it produced it by itself. Generally the 5-HTP fuckedness from this combo (ie getting a little scared that night, way sleepy the next day and feeling all happy n bit silly) seemed at least at the time stronger than I remember from takin half a gram or even a whole gram of 5-HTP by itself.

I don't plan on doing that combo again any time soon. Next time, I think what'd make a real smooth combo is Codeine with a little Mullumbimby Green. (yeah you know what I mean) ;)
