Drinking Bottles Of Codeine Linctus (Codeine Phosphate)

[pally pete]

So, I infrequently use Opiates nowadays after being a past abuser of Oxycodone in the range of up to 400mg in one dose!

I am currently taking 20 mg of Diazepam (Unprescribed) and 600 mg of Pregabalin (Prescribed) per Day. As I've said in other posts, I've just reinstated myself on Diazepam after being at 30 mg per day for the past Year, and then being unable to get them prescribed I stopped them cold turkey as I ran out. I went without for 10 Days and it wasn't nice. Anyway 20 mg has me stabilised and I plan to very slowly taper.

Anyway, the question I want to ask is... How harmful is drinking Codeine Linctus? I usually drink 1 or 2 bottles, each bottle containing 200ml of liquid which works out at 5ml/15mg which equals 600mg Codeine per bottle. Codeine is the only active ingredient.

I had 1 bottle tonight along with 4 x 30 mg Codeine tabs (Total consumed 720 mg Codeine) and this had me feeling close to perfect. I am quite suprised due my previous Opiate tolerance.

Is consuming Codeine in liquid form anymore harmful than taking Codeine in tablet form? My guess is no but I could be wrong. Please enlighten me.

Thanks for your time.

OK now, i used to sip codeine linctus 15mg codeine phosphate per 5ml in a 100ml bottle aka 300mg codeine per bottle. AFAIK codeine has a threshold dose somewhere in the range of 400-450mg. Basically meaning that in one sitting this is the maximum amount of codeine that can be metabolized into morphine by said liver enzyme which works in your favour the most if you're black and the least if you're asian. (hence the black rappers use lean as their DOC). Having said that, these linctus bottles are also LOADED with the oh so misunderstood stimulant, sugar. Now whether taking in large doses of sugar trains your body to regulate insulin more so than one who doesn't intake large amounts of sugar is still an enigma. In my head it will actually help with training your body to not contract diabetes because it's so well efficient in producing insulin but don't take my word for it as this is risky business. Also sugar is a drug, and your body treats it as such, you wouldn't take large amounts of any drug in a sitting because at least for sugar, any excess sugar that has surpasses the ceiling to be metabolized actually turns into liver fat. Whether thats good or bad you decide.

So in all that i've said, this is where we are now. 720mg codeine in 1 sitting? POINTLESS, only ~400mg will be metabolized. LD50 for codeine? starts at 800mg. Beating the SHIT out of your liver? YES.

taking the pills once there's no apap in it will be better than drinking bottles of poison to achieve probably the WEAKEST high in the entire family of opiates. Man 300mg codeine is comparable to a strong cup of coffee, yes that little excitement. its a very shitty drug and the risk outweighs the reward.

Fly safe!

I would only drink the sugar free version as the normal version with added sucrose usually has 4g per 5ml.

So each bottle has 40 teaspoons of sugar in it.

So don't worry about a buzz of the codeine, you'll get a buzz from the sugar alone.

edit: Also, I've never heard of anyone taking as much as 400mg of Oxycodone IR in one hit. I'm surprised that Codeine has any effect on somebody who once sustained a 400mg Oxycodone habit.

Also, I don't get why people take daily Benzodiazepines over a long period of time? Due to the development of drug tolerance, their efficacy diminishes rather quickly, so unless you chase the dose (which is obviously not advisable) they soon become ineffective. That said, I think doctors are largely to blame. The over prescription of Benzodiazepines for chronic use really irritates me, as well as antibiotics.
