Hi,

just a lillte bit of advise please guys. What is a good dose of codeine enoungh to get you feeling fuzzy?

Also this might sound like a dumb question but i read somewhere that Dihydrocodeine does not contain Codeine. Is this true cuz I really find that hard to believe.

Thanks again :)
 
Dihydrocodeine and codeine are 2 different chemicals, so of course DHC does not contain codeine. It is, however, a derivative of codeine.

I suggest you use an opioid dosage converter chart (google is your friend) if you have used other opiates and know what dose you took. Otherwise I reccomend no more than 200mg your first time. Side effects at high dosages can include itchiness and nausea.
 
Hi Sekio,

Ok thanks for your response, so would you advise 200mg's all at once or through out the course of the day? also the only way I can get codeine is to buy a pack of nurofen plus LOL so if i took 200 mgs of codeine i would also be taking a hell of a lot of ibuprofen.

Would a codeine extraction be advisable using the Cold water extraction technique.

Thanks for your help mate.
 
I advise no more than 200mg every 6-8h for "recreational" usage if you are a first timer. A good starting dose if you have never done codeine is usually 120-150mg. You can also combine it with promethazine (Phenergan) or diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or another sedating antihistamine - they can help make the codeine feel stronger and reduce itching.

For actual pain control I suggest you take 2 or 3 Nurofen Plus tablets every 6h.

If you are doing this recreationally a cold water extraction is strongly advised. I wouldn't take more than about 600mg of ibuprofen in one go as it can upset the stomach easily. Bear in mind that regular usage of codeine or other opioids carries the risk of dependence, tolerance, and addiction.
 
Most new users can get nice effects from 80mg imo. If you've never done opiate before then your receptors could need 'waking up' a little.

Codeine was my first opiate and I took 80mg 3 times in a row, and it got better each time. There's little point ever going above 300mg, but agree with the above, 150mg is a nice place to settle at recreationally if supply isn't an issue.
 
I got a buzz albeit weak off 60mg when using first time. I would strongly suggest you take a VERY low dose of 5-15mg to check for allergies (although VERY rare) i am over cautious, but then again i am almost never sick :)

I worked my way up from 60 - 120 - 180 - 210 and is soon moving to 260.

Dont get addicted and never take over 400mg as it will have no effect as you can only metabolize this much. Allot of people itch but I has not had this problem yet (well maybe a little).

lethal dosage is 700mg +
