Its my first time using codeine and I havent used any opioids before.
So I took about 60mg of codeine phosphate about 2 hours ago, then had a small dinner, waited about an hour then had 100mg. So far my eyes feel tired and I am a bit itchy but I don't feel much euphoria or warm feelings. I'm just really waiting for a feeling where i feel good and am happy i done it. Should I wait longer? Should I take more? Maybe I'm just expecting more, I don't know. All help is much appreciated.
 
That's all you're really going to feel with codeine, 160mg is my opiate naive dose.
 
OK well I think I'll try maybe 200mg next time on an empty stomach. Do you recommend taking it all at once?
 
A med with 30 Mg codeine with some acetaminophen can be effective in occasional mid level pain relief like back muscle pain?
Never took codeine and my opioid tollerance is zero, thanks for your aswers.
 
try taking 80 mg codeine 80 mg dxm with a glass of grape juice 15 mins before. dxm potenatiates opiates as does grape juice. be on an empty stomach and realise each high can vary from person to person as the body decides your high. if you dont know what dxm is its the active ingredient in cough syrup dextromethorphan Hbl so just take 80 mg of cough syrup. make sure dxm is the ONLY active ingredient. if the dxm has polisitrex after the name then put the 80 mg in a shot glass the fill the rest up with lemon juice and mix it then let it sit for 10 mins then kick it back. do not drink alchohol while on dxm/codeine mixtures. have fun :) ps make sure you take the mixtures within 5 mins of each other for the most potent effect also take the dxm first pss do not take more than 80 mg dxm with up to 150 mg codeine
 
I've noticed over the years the effects can be subtle, and get not-so-subtle really quick if you take too large a dose(dizziness, sweating, nausea, etc). At times, I have had good effects at those doses, but have had to go a bit higher for more. I would wait longer. You don't want to wind up stacking a whole bunch of doses up into your system.

Some people just don't get euphoria from it, keep that in mind. I've also found that when I've been "waiting" to get happy from it, I tend to be disappointed. It's subtle, you need to be in a good headspace to begin with imo.

I would say enjoy the subtle effects, and don't expect miracles, cause they probably won't come from codeine. Still enjoyable, but it won't be an incredible rush or anything. If you didn't feel much of anything at 160 with no tolerance, you just might not be someone who synthesizes a lot of it to morphine.

And don't forget to do a CWE if there is anything else in your pills, you don't want grams of nasty acetaminophen beating on your liver.

This is a great point. Your headspace plays a huge role in the experience you get. For some, if they are happy to begin with then they get happier from a dose of codeine. In my case, it was actually the opposite.

When I started using codeine many years ago, I took it because I was having trouble dealing with depression and anxiety. I found that the best effects I ever got from codeine were not related to the size of the dose so much, but to the severity of the discomfort I was in. The greater the need, the more codeine comes through for you IME.

When I later tried to replicate those amazing turn-arounds I had in the early stages of use, I found that upping the dose and using potentiators didn't do much if I was in a fair mood and just wanted to get high.

And as Bobbyptsd said above, 'waiting' for the effects suggests that you are expecting a strong change to occur suddenly. It's probably better to take your dose and then just get on with doing something else and forgot about what you took. Let it creep in and surprise you (if it works).
 
yeah codeine will not slam you in the face with euphoria like other opiates, it may make you feel like you're having a good day or something but no blanket of opiate warmth that's for sure.

don't have high expectations of codeine, it does have an effect for sure, it's just not oxycodone or something like that.

300mg first time will make most people sick, i'd try 150mg on an empty stomach and wait half an hour or so. I used to get high from 90-100mg of codeine, a long time ago, but it's subtle enough you may not even notice it's working. Regardless of dose, it's still subtle, nothing like it's stronger relatives.
 
Just makes you sick if you take too much, it's just a mild high. Goes great with bud and an ecig though.
 
If you take codeine, wait 1 hour, take more, it will maybe not have the same effect of taking the full dose at once. Something to do with CYP2D6 inhibition supposedly.

I've taken CWE almost pure codeine and had little effect, where the same dose with acetaminophen would have had an effect. It might make sense that the acetaminophen is keeping the liver busy somehow. It's bad for you, but I'm just saying it might actually affect codeine metabolism.

I've felt good effects from just 8mg in a Tylenol #1 when I had no tolerance. Maybe you shouldn't take more than 120mg at once if you're not used to it. You'll get the few minutes of intense itchiness at least and maybe throw it up.

You could also be in the 5% of population that are poor metabolizers of codeine.

DXM does potentiate opiates but grape juice does not (unless they've made a discovery in the past 2 days I'm unaware of). Although grapeFRUIT juice will potentiate opiates.


To the OP, since you have no experience with opiates, I wouldn't start bringing any potentiators into the equation yet. You really don't need them. I'd start with 120-150mg on an empty stomach. Take your dose all at once instead of splitting it up like you did the first time. Codeine is pretty weak though man. It's not like oxycodone or hydrocodone. It's not gonna completely floor you or throw you for a good nod. You'll have some light euphoria, be pretty itchy, and an overall uplift in sense of well-being.
 
I remember I got codeine for an earache as a small child. It sure fucked me up. I watched Alice in Wonderland. Its actually a fond memory. I felt so warm and euphoric and the ear ache went away. I kept asking my mum for more till she said there were no more.
