I've been taking codeine upto a max of 180mg and it gives me a good high. I just got some DHC what dosage should i take to feel good? Gunna go clean for 2 days before i try em so that i can enjoy them properly so wanna know what dose to start on in comparison.

Not mixed with any other pain meds so don't have to worry about ODing on paracetamol etc.

Cheers.
 
My mate says -

"Personally I enjoy DHC far far more than codeine, though that may just be because its much harder for me to get than codeine..
I believe its somewhere around 1.5 to 2 times as potent as codeine, in my experience i would say it feels at least twice as strong, but each of us metabolize things differently.

Also has quite a low oral bioavailability (20%-ish)i think compared to rectal which is much higher, though i cant seem to find out by how much exactly.

DHC lasts much longer which is great, around 6-8 hours,
To be safe you'd want to take less than half your max codeine dose, so you know what you're playing with, and a good thing about DHC is that unlike codeine, more DHC can be taken throughout the experience to boost the high,so you won't be wasting any if you're already high enough, where as codeine inhibits the cyp26 enzyme in your liver responsible for metabolizing codeine into morphine, so once you've dosed with codeine consuming more after the come up is a waste."

Apart from that he says he doesn't know much more, but says have a comfy comfy time.
 
Also he says he's heard some people complain about less of a "body high/sedation" with codeine, which some say can be achieved by a half dose of codeine + half dose of DHC, though he hasn't tried himself.
 
What's the difference in effects between them if i take an equal dose to that i take of codeine? (meaning half).
 
IME DHC is great, codeine is so lame, buzz only lasts for 1 and a half hrs for moi. DHC lasts more in the area of 6 hrs, and i find it a higher quality buzz than codeine also, if you only dose 180mgs codeine try 120mg DHC. Oh and a common DHC tablet are these waxy oblong ones the say DHC 60 on them, if you have these OP, break them in half/crush before dosing as they are DHC contin tabs made to last 12 hrs..
 
Mine are round and not waxy, so think i'm fine on that front. Will be nice not to start feeling normal again 2 hours in!
 
Why would you describe it at the worst you've ever done?


The high is really weird......ive never felt a high like I get from DHC. My brother & 2 of my cousins have also tried them & they have caused chest pains in all 3 of them, not me so much but I did feel awkward. Like I said, rather do codeine all day long than touch DHC again. My favorite is morphine tho............:)
 
I've just skulled 210 mg of codeine & it was very pleasant indeed. I would very much like to re-dose but it's not really feasible so i'm thinking of buying some dhc/acetaminophen over the counter for extraction. I'm also toying with the idea of rectal administration! ho ho ho - Tried it with codeine a couple of times & it didnt even hit me so this will be an experiment of sorts.
