How much CODEINE to consume?

[pally pete]

I have a massive tolerance to Benzos & Opiates. For example I would need between 160 - 240 mg Oxycontin to feel satisfied. I used to take 400 mg at a time. I'm glad them days are gone.

Nowadays I can get hold of Codeine Linctus fairly easy OTC in some places, others say no. It's around a 50% chance of purchasing it. Anyway it comes as a pure Codeine liquid i a 200ml bottles which equals 600mg. I very often down a bottle in one and enjoy a nice buzz/nod off it. I know many people debate about the 'ceiling dose'???

Many people say it's around 300 - 450 mg Codeine that can be metabolised at one time by the human body, others disagree. I don't actually think it has been proven either way. All I know is that taking 600mg of Codeine would get me a lot higher than 300 - 450 mg)

Tonight I plan on drinking 2 bottles, which roughly equals 1200mg (1.2g) of Codeine. Whether I feel double the effects of 600 mg I will let you know as I update this thread....

I would try to potentiate the Codeine but a lot of the information is contradictory. Some say use Promethazine, Diphenhydramine or something simlar as it works with all other Opiates... except Codeine. But then I read that it's ok to take the antihistamine 30 minutes or so after the Codeine as to allow the Codeine to be metabolised into Morphne. I have both Diphenhydramine and Promethazine if I need them but I shall not take then before I can feel the Codeine workng, and even then I may not bother with the antihistamines.

The 3 potentiators that I've been advised to use due to the fact that they won't interfere with the Codeine - Morphne metabolisation are; Drinking Tonic Water for a small amount of Quinine. Naproxen 330 mg (Feminax Ultra or Aleve in the U.S) Around 30mg of Dextromethorphan (DXM) and also chew on some antacids 10 - 15 minutes before you take the drug. Also about an hour ago I had my prescribed Pregabalin (2 x 300mg) But tonight I opened the 2 capsules and swallowed so hopefully they will be more instant release, rather then the 1 - 2 hour wait. I also have my daily prescribed 20 mg of Dazepam that I think I will take along with the Codeine.

Any other suggestions or tips would be greatly apprecated?

Btw it will be taken on an empty stomach as I haven't eaten all day.

Please refrain from ingesting that amount of codeine as i've read that the LD50 starts around 800mg for OD symptoms. Codeine is shit, I wouldn't consume more than 300mg for a buzz. There's also the world of sugar living in those linctus bottles, and yes just like any drug your body can only metabolize so much at once. That goes for sugar too, excess sugar becomes liver fat. All in all you're battering your liver and kidneys for the shittiest opiate high in the book. Not much Reward considering the risks...

Yeah I realise what I did was stupid.

I'm now suffering quite severe withdrawal symptoms after my recent misadventures with Codeine.
