Opioids DHC - what dose and what to do?

[Smiggles14]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for the dosing for DHC continus (extended release tablets)? I have 56 60mg ones and I took 240mg at first and didn't really get much, then crushed up 180 and didn't get much from that either (both with promethazine). What does should I try next that is safe? I noticed on the psychonaught wiki it states that 200mg+ is the strongest reccomended, but I've taken 300mg IR DHC pills and got a nice buzz from them.

So basically:
Can you still get high (albeit lesser) by taking the DHC Continus whole?
Does crushing them up, putting them in a rizla and bombing it with warm water defeat the er mechanism, is it worth it?
Is taking 300mg+ safe for someone with a small tolerance and what dose would you reccomend to get buzzed and should it be crushed or no?

Thanks!

Acetaminophen at what over 4,000mg can cause liver failure, either way it's eating at your stomach lining.

You need to learn how to do a CWE (Cold Water Extraction). Basically opioids are water soluable, so crush up your codeine or hydrocodone(desired amount) to a very fine powder and then mix it in a cup of water. Stir it, let it sit for awhile, and finally the important part; put the whole cup in the freezer and trick is to take it out right before the water wants to freeze over(or ya know just leave in freezer for about 20 or 30 mins).

Then, you take another cup and put a filter over the top(cheese cloth, whatever) and then pour your cold cup of water/opioid into/onto the filter of the empty cup.

All the white shit your filter collected is trash aka Acetaminophen AND your opioid is now a good shot or two of some cloudy and bit bitter tasting water.

At least this way you can continue to take higher doses. BUT yes some ppl just don't feel much from codeine because of lack of enzymes or something so maybe potentiate with something.

Thanks for the advice, yeah I'm aware of CWE but luckily DHC Continus is pure DHC tartrate is in extended release form. Can you stil get high off the ER pills btw?

If you got good results from taking 300mg IR then just take 300mg of the Continus crushed up so it essentially turns into IR, then simply chase the powder down with plain water. But I must warn you that you will quickly develop a tolerance doing this repeatedly which will mean you will need to take more than 300mg to achieve the same level of "buzz", this is called "dosage escalation".

Yeah, you can still feel DHC Continus whole, but it’s milder and slower. Crushing it defeats the ER and makes it hit more like IR. If 300mg IR worked for you before, crushed 300mg Continus should feel similar. Just be careful, tolerance builds fast, and mixing with promethazine adds risk. Take it easy and stay safe.

This isn't so much a reply to OP (since their question has been answered) but for other people who are trying to figure out DHC dosage:

If you know the amount of codeine it takes to get you high, you can divide that amount by 2 and you'll get the amount of dihydrocodeine you'll need for an effect. 30 mg DHC = 60 mg codeine.

300 mg DHC IR sounds like a high dosage for someone who doesn't already have a bit of a tolerance, though.

Psychonautwiki has some useful dosage advice for someone unsure: https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/dihydrocodeine

I should also note it's about ~1.5x as potent so if you have no opioid tolerance start with 60mg and see where that gets you.

Threshold	20 mg
Light	50 - 100 mg
Common	100 - 150 mg
Strong	150 - 200 mg
Heavy	200 mg +

That’s super helpful, thanks for breaking it down like that. Definitely agree—300 mg DHC IR is a heavy dose for anyone without a decent tolerance. Always better to start low and see how your body reacts, especially when switching from codeine to DHC.
