codeine / paracetamol question

I'm asking the fucking questions!
i have here 8 codeine/paracetamol tablets that are 30/500 mgs.
Just wondering if its safe to take the 4000mg paracetamol in the codeine? i couldnt be bothered doing a CWE so dont mention that.
Also would the 240mg codeine be enough for a decent buzz?

thanks, nolys
 
4 grams of paracetamol (aka APAP aka acetaminophen) is a little bit too much if you ask me. I wouldn't take it but that's just me.
Now 240mg of codeine is an ok buzz if you're not very tolerant to the substance.
 
It depends on the state of your liver. Wait for other BLers answers before ingesting the stuff.
 
Personally i get a nice buzz off only 150mg, but thats with barely any tolerance. I think i saw somewhere that 4g of APAP is the most to take in one day, but i may be wrong so dont take my word for it.
 
4000mg of Acetaminophen/paracetamol is the maximum daily dose before potentially suffering liver toxicity. If you were going to take 8 tablets than don't take anymore within 24 hours.

If you have minimum tolerance to Codeine than 240mg should be enough to give you a nice decent opiate buzz. If your tolerance is moderate than its possible but the buzz would be rather slight.
 
The maximum amount of Paracetamol I've taken before is 4 of those 30/500mg, so 2g. And sometimes, even though my liver is perfectly fine, it would hurt sometimes so I knew I was doing atleast some damage with that amount but the liver's quite a resilient organ, infact it's probably the most resilient organ in the body.

So, all in all, taking twice that amount would not be a good idea. And I know that you've said not to bother mentioning doing a CWE, but do a CWE. It's not difficult, it isn't time consuming and it will actually give you a quicker, better high due to you not having to break down tablets and only absorb water/codeine solution. Seriously, it's for the best :)
 
nolys 240mg of codeine would be a lot if you have zero tolerance. don't take that much if you've never really taken opiates before
 
4000mg is too much to take in a single dose. Taking too much APAP causes liver damage and failure.

Edit-and if you're set on taking the stuff, a CWE is really easy

ive taken codeine before i was prescribed it for broken sternum a while back, never abused it though. And ive had experiances with 500mg + of tramadol.
just wanted to know peoples views on the APAP situation
 
I highly recommend you don't take 4000mg of APAP. I've had intense pains from taking APAP in the region of 2000mg much like noodle.

I'd honestly just take the time and do a CWE on them. Me personally i'd just take two 30/500 pills and be pretty happy. When I do CWE the effects seem to be much less then if I just take the pills. Three 30/500's get me to almost the same state as an entire CWE on a box of 8/500's.
 
but do a CWE. It's not difficult, it isn't time consuming and it will actually give you a quicker, better high due to you not having to break down tablets and only absorb water/codeine solution. Seriously, it's for the best

+1. Paracetamol/APAP is horrible enough to the liver at normal doses never mind large ones.

About 150mg codeine is a good starting point if you're not used to it.
 
240mg is a good start with no tolerance.

:\I remember those halcyon days when 90mg codeine would have me buzzing....

Tolerance should be taken out and shot at dawn.


Slightly offtopic: I've heard mention of a (legal) drug that not only halts the build-up of tolerance to opiates but actually reverses the process!

Info anyone?

8o.

That sounds too good to be true.. Give me a drug that will reduce my opiate tolerance please, yes, yes, yes !!
 
^ I've been trying to ask around Bluelight about trifluoperazine, aka Stelazine in Australia. It's an old-school anti-psychotic that, though it can have nasty side effects, in mice has been shown to reverse/remove tolerance to opioids.

I have access to it and am tempted to experiment but would like real world information first, nothing has come up so far.
 
DXM (dextromethorpan) is supposed to have some anti-tolerance-to-opiates properties (in small amounts), but its not the drug I was thinking about.

I'm pretty sure it was discussed on this forum some time ago & I remember making a note of the name. I'll try find it later
