So recently when I've taken codeine I've been getting pretty bad anxiety.
I used to take codeine semi-regularly a few years ago and always really enjoyed it, I got the usual nods and sense of wellbeing, and only really stopped when I tried tramadol, which I enjoyed much more(and also had the added benefit of not needing to be drank in a horrible solution) so due to this and also having a fairly regular supply of trams I no longer felt inclined towards codiene.
I stopped having such easy access to tramadol after a year or so of this and up until last year sometime I only really took downers every so often when a friend passed them out or had some to sell. So last year it just kind of hit me, I'd forgotten about CWE! Fucking awesome I thought!
It didn't quite turn out as expected though, as I said I was anxious from basically the moment I felt them kicking in, and it was a real horrible kind of anxiety, like a fear of the world, it almost felt like I was having a bad psych trip. Luckily though from being so fucked I could just crash out and sleep it off.
So since then I've taken it probably around ten more times, a couple more times just to test and curse the lords of the high, and a few times I've literally just forgotten how fucked up it made me and had to learn all over again. Last night was one of those times, I was sitting around pretty bored and broke when I thought I'd go and get some codeine, and was looking forward to it, and actually enjoyed it for about ten mins when I started feeling the anxiety creeping, I had luckily only taken about 200mg so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
I've had tramadol and oxycodone since this first happened and neither has given me the slightest hint of anxiety. Basically I'm just wondering if anyone else has this issue, or if anyone knows why this might be causing me to be anxious, whereas before it had completely the opposite effect?
