Opioids First time codeine user

It's odd that they'd prescribe Codeine as a cough suppressant. It's probably one of the least effective opoids when it comes to cough suppressing.

Throw in another 150-200mg if you feel confident enough, it seems you're tolerating it well. :p

My Dr. is a bit loopy to be honest, always prescribes me stuff that doesn't work haha.
I didn't bother taking another dose, I was getting pretty tired so I just went to sleep. I did feel a tiny bit of an itch sometimes and there was a brief moment where i felt slightly nauseous for 15 minutes.
Still got 310mg of this stuff left. What should I do next?
 
Wait until 24 hours has passed between doses and try 150-180mg. Unfortunately that leaves you with less than enough for an effective dose if that doesn't work. Just hope for 150 to work so that you have another 160 to play with.
 
If a 100mg dose left you with hardly notable effects, I might just bite the bullet and pop the 310mg all at once next time. 310mg of codeine would be equal to approximately 31mg's of oxy, if your liver metabolizes it well. This likely isn't enough for someone to OD on (likely not even close, however I'm sure every now and then someone has a sensitivity to opiates, however since you tested 100mg's and barely felt it, this would not be the case with you), as long as you don't take any other downers.
 
Waiting for 24 hours is nonsense, the inhibition wears off soon after your last dose of codeine did. I used to dose 500mg 3x a day (so every 5 - 6 hours) and it would always work perfectly. Also you can technically re-dose, inhibition only kicks in once you reach the ceiling (generally held to be 400 - 600mg). So you could dose 200mg, then dose 200mg an hour later and it would top up like any other drug. But if you dosed 600mg, then took another dose an hour later, it'd do nothing because all of the enzymes are occupied.

I actually agree with taking all 310mg at once... Just make sure you take some anti-histamines/anti-nausea tablets first and get comfy...

Okay I think I might do that then.. :P Any other tips on making sure it all goes well? I've read about crushing up the pills and drinking it with something fizzy, or does this just make the high come up faster?
also, should I eat beforehand and/or steer away from caffeine?
Pretty nervous about this shit.. but if ya'll think it'll be okay then i'm sure it'll be :)
