Female, 165cm approx, and 50kg approx.
Approx 7.50pm popped 14 30mg tablets of Codeine Phosphate = 420mg
My third time doing codeine (my first time I had 210mg and second time I had 300mg)
Completely empty stomach.

8.05pm feeling warm, my head is already tingly and itchy. I will take an antihistamine soon if the itches become unbearable. Slight nausea, nothing serious, vision sightly harder to keep focused. I feel heavy, relaxed too apart from annoying tingling in my lower back and behind my ears. Getting ready to watch a movie. I definitely feel the most different this time. (compared to my other experiences)

8.09pm gonna do myself a favor and take an antihistamine. Feel a bit shaky and my ears are hot! I have homework
but I'm not gonna do it and I'm not worried about it!

8.13pm extremely hot and itchy especially shoulders and back, i just wiped my face and shoulders with a cool cloth. My head is pulsing, it's not unpleasant though. I haven't had anything to eat since between 4.30 and 5pm. (and that was basically nothing, just a couple of crackers with cheese and a herb tea.) My mind is distracted so I keep forgetting what I'm going to write. Waiting for the antihistamine to kick in. My lips feel numb, kinda like when you go to the dentist and get an injection for a filling or something (but not as severe). Gonna watch Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunter!

8.19pm I can feel my heart beating and hear it in my ears - it's loud and fast! Itchies driving me nuts! It feels good to scratch! but I don't really wanna scratch myself to pieces, It's just hard to resist.

8.36pm just tested my heart rate: 138bpm.

8.43pm I took another antihistamine. You aren't really supposed to have more than 10mg a day but 20mg is the maximum it says on the box. It could just make me drowsy if they are that type.

9.07pm nodding almost, i keep feeling like I'm almost going to fall asleep and my vision goes blurry then doubles, annoying when I'm trying to watch a movie! lol Itches aren't as unbearable as before but definitely still there. I'm learning to control it. I can't hear my heartbeat anymore. I have a gross tate in my mouth I need a drink! Which I have here.

9.26pm I feel quite sick and I think it must be hunger because I feel weak and my stomach occasionally growls uncomfortably :/ I don't feel like anything to eat though :( I guess I should probably have that kiwifruit left over from lunch to give me some energy and put something in my stomach.

9.29pm On second thought don't want to eat it because I feel sick and it's a gross tasting one, plus I don't want to throw it up.
I almost threw up just now but didn't fortunately! This always happens when I do codeine, but it never lasts more than 5 or 10 minutes thankfully.

10.10pm sooooo tired might be drowsiness from antihistamines. I cant stay
awake any longer, its time for sleep. This is really early for me! Goodnight. P.s. I don't feel all sick and shaky anymore at all :)

Next Day: Woke up feeling slightly foggy in the head. I woke up a few times in the night but that's fairly normal for me, I felt like I had a good deep sleep (: Looking back: I actually really enjoyed feeling my heart beat fast and hearing it in my ears and feeling it pulse in my head. I felt very relaxed and heavy throughout the experience as that what codeine does. It was alright, I would do it any time I could but It's not a drug for a mind blowing experience or anything. The most of what it does is relax you mainly. It's also really nice to go to sleep on.
 
The itches do suck badly if they catch you wrong. I tend to find that if I dose up with the anti histamine at the same time as the codeine that I tend not to get them. Which anti histamine did you take? Personally I prefer Doxylamine but recently I've been taking Chlorphenamine because that's what was there, and free from the NHS. I do find the Chlorphenamine increases the bangy head, hearing your heart beat thing and I'm not so into that.

If you took codeine #3, you ingested 4200mg of acetaminophen, which is a very unsafe dose. Have you read up on Cold Water Extraction? It is a quick and simple process which removes most of the tylenol from your product. It is so much better for your digestive system and helps the Codeine kick in faster. The nausea you were experiencing is likely due to an overdose of acetaminophen. Also, do not underestimate Codeine. It metabolizes into Morphine. The LD-50 of codeine is 800mg, and overdoses have occurred with doses as low as 450mg. Of equal importance, never mix sleep medication, alcohol, barbiturates, or tranquilizers with opiates. Here is the link to the Cold Water Extraction Mega Thread:

^We don't have that down under and in NZ I believe. She could have had pure 30mg tabs (they do exist) but if they were panadeine forte which is 30/500 codeine/para/ace then yes, it's very very bad for the liver and you should learn to CWE (head over to the CWE thread in AUS drug discussion)

infact if they were panadeine forte then that's 7000mg of para/ace. a very toxic quantity. hope you weren't just popping them straight, op.
 
I've grown quite fond of codeine since I got a small supply, and have been potentiating with a promethazine tablet about 30 minutes before ingestion, and then ingesting 90-120mg or so of codeine, which I have found to be deeply pleasant although somewhat overly sedating. Without the promethazine I've only tried it a couple of times but I don't believe it was as powerful a hit.

My question is is there a large difference between a low dose such as that and the higher 300-400mg doses, or is this purely a tolerance thing? I don't have a whole lot left, so if there's something I'm missing I'd like to experience it at least once, but if it's just going to make me fall asleep and feel worried about dosage then I don't think I'll bother.

Cheers
 
^Taking the Promethazine/other-antihistamine BEFORE the codeine is not a good idea, as it could in theory prevent conversion of codeine to morphine. Wait till you feel the codeine come on, say 15 mins after taking before you pop the antihistamine. The itchies get pretty bad at higher doses, worse than any other opiate. I mean a bit of itching can be pleasant, but when your awake into the early hours of the morning with your hand scratching compulsively at your rectum it gets a bit tiresome. I have had to redose the antihistamine after a few hours to deal with this.

OP, if nausea is an issue, lie down. That will cure it at a stroke. I always found lying down to be the best way to enjoy opiates anyway, preferably with some nice slow music playing on a low volume. Watching TV and other more distracting activites tend to reduce the enjoyment of the lower strength opiates.
