Sounds like the idiosyncratic reactions I have to Tramadol... But I dunno if codeine can do that.
Could it be that you had an asthma attack followed by a panic attack? Codeine alone is bad enough for it but, if you used an Ibu product, the reaction could be even worse.
What about a histamine reaction and subsequent panic attack?
** Just did a bit more research. Apparently all opiates are capable of causing an idiosyncratic (random) reaction.
Yeah this seems highly likely, random hypersensitivity can apparently occur with codeine (probably increased in chance by the fact that I had no tolerance), and one of the manufacturers has a section online warning about this. It could've been a panic attack, but I haven't had one of those for quite a few years, but yes the symptoms were incredibly similar (especially the struggling to breathe properly part).
It wasn't a histamine reaction though as there was no swelling, redness or itching.
Struth, I didn't even see that. 500ml is far too much water even for an Ibu product. Incredibly dangerous.
Well at room temperature ibuprofen is <1mg/mL soluble in water, so in such a case I would be getting at a maximum the equivalent of around 2.5 tablets of Nurofen per wash, so not really "incredibly dangerous". Because of its low solubility you would have to be hitting up in the liters to be reaching dangerous level. Also considering that we're talking about cold water here, the ibuprofen solubility would be significantly less than even this (see: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10953-004-1051-2?LI=true).
