Opioids My experience with codeine and questions if what I experienced was normal

[jozza]

So I did a CWE on an APAP + codeine bunch of pills that were lying around. First time i did it but I followed a great video on youtube, filtered it twice, got a pretty clear solution with basically nothing in suspension, and didnt use much water at all to limit the dissolved apap. So I'm pretty sure it was safe, and it tasted very bitter so I think the codeine was in there.

I'd done 25mg the day before to test if I was allergic and nothing happened.

After the test run the previous day, last nigh I did ~90mg from the extraction.

Basically it slowed me down a lot and made my body feel pretty good, but only just noticeable.

However it made me pretty grumpy / surly and a friend commented when we were out at a bar how angry I looked. I smoked some weed later and that sorta touched it up a bit and felt pretty good, but overall the high wasn't amazing. I certainly didn't feel happy or high in my mind, I was just slowed down and any high effects were purely in my body and not that intense. I had a bath earlier during come up and felt the effects more then than later, I'd say.

I was in a surly / angry mood for a while, it seemed to aggravate me. I seem to remember this happening a few years ago when I did poppy tea too.

Oh and My pupils are still tiny today, almost 24 hours after I took the stuff. Im wondering if this is normal. Tis also happened with the poppy tea

I've taken opium before in Asia a few times but once, after i did a lot i think, it made me sick for the entire following day. I was throwing up on a bus for 4 hours and felt like I was passing in and out of sleep. The other times when I only did a little I felt great.

Do you guys think I have a metabolism issue?

I'm thinking of trying again with more, but this time my pills are mixed with ibuprofen so I hope cold water extraction works for those as well - does anyone know if this is true?

I might post this in trip reports if it isn't in the right place.

To Those who know about this stuff or are more experience - thanks heaps for any help you can give me!

sounds normal, opiates make many people agitated and irritated they did that to me badly.

i'm not sure about ibuprofen extraction, i know aspirin is easier, i just do apap ones and they work great.

don't think you have a metabolism issue, try 90mg and tell us how it goes. should get you nice and high.

Thanks for the response robot

I did ~90 mg actually (sorry my post was confusing, 25mg was just the test run the day before). I did an extraction on 100mg so 90 is a guess, assuming I lost a little codeine.

I was just concerned with my pupils being small the entire next day. This and the fact I didn't get that high, I thought maybe I have the unlucky genes 7% of the population have. I definitely got high on opium in the past though

Next time ill try 150mg or maybe 200.

I like to be conservative and start small, but with codeine apparently you can't just redose if you're not high enough. The first codeine you've consumed will block the metabolism and you won't get high of the next, so you need to wait.

So I better take 150 at least, all in one go. But being opiate naive I don't want to OD if im sensitive or anything.

Guess my experience proves I'm not sensitive

Edit - my breathing did slow down a bit if I remember correctly. Maybe I am just insensitive to the good effects, and shouldn't risk too much

Sounds like a typical response to opiates to me.

I'm going to close this since no one can speculate on whether or not you have an issue with metabolism and the fact that you could have easily found this information by using the search engine.
