Nice Codeine Megathread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Some brandnames it goes under here. Is very widely available in all pharmacies (and many supermarkets too) and can be bought cheaply from very mainstream online shops (including non-specialist ones) without prescription.

Personally I usually just buy the cheapest generic antihistamine from the nearest pharmacy or supermarket. Usually that means cetirizine which is non-drowsy but certainly works fine for the itchiez. Is also a lot cheaper than most of the others.
 
Opium of the world, you are very new to opiates, I'd advise you to stay away from fent, its bit of a jump from codeine and DHC.
 
^Oh wait opiumoftheworld you want to try fent?! Don't do that, it's only going to pointlessly increase your tolerance, not to mention you really should think about it before starting to use such strong opis (not meant to sound patronising, but it's true :\).
There really isn't any point whatsoever making such a jump when you can still get high off codeine and the like.
 
DHC is slightly stronger than codeine. Most estimates range from ~1.5-2x as strong. Some (like me) find it's more or less equivalent though. Is kinda hard to say for sure as it lacks the intense histamine reaction you get with codeine which can easily be confused with opioid effect.

For folk that enjoy a CWE from a box of standard co-cos a box of Paramol CWE'd should feel noticeably more opioidy though. How noticeably is obviously gonna vary from person to person.
 
Personally I don't think it's worth the extra... but some folk seem to have no problem wasting money on branded co-cos either so am sure some will find the cost acceptable. Unless you have a script or can buy DHC online without prescription (*mourns the loss of a particular online pharmacy*) then it's the only way you'll be able to get DHC really though. Unless you know yer local junky population well enough to buy DFs off 'em. In all honesty I'd say Paramol is a bit extravagant when generic co-cos are so much cheaper. You can buy two - or more - boxes for the same amount as one of Paramol and get way more from 'em.
 
I'm confused...a box of Paramol comes down to cheaper, or at the worst same price, for me than any generic codeine :?
What are you buying your codeine for?!

+ needed considerably less to get high, when I could get high off them, + much cleaner high and less itching so I've always found it worth it. It clearly depends a lot on the person but it goes to show they're not necessarily worth giving up on from the start I think.
 
Generic co-cos cost about £1.80 a box at my chemists. Cheaper in civilisation. Paramol is ~£6.

Yes DHC is overall nicer in every way, but am not convinced that it's 3-4x as nice. Fortunately, the option of both is there :D
 
Holy shit. What a bargain. I get em for over 5 quid :|

Nah it's true that if the price difference were that big for me I would definitely not be buying paramol haha.
 
Seriously? Actual generic/shop's own brand co-cos cost over a fiver?!? Have only ever come across the branded ones at that price. Numark and Superdrug own brand is ~£1.80. Boots is even cheaper, I think.

Codeine linctus works out even cheaper at £2.99 per bottle (600mg of codeine per bottle) but can be hard to get more than one or two at a time. Plus postage if buying online, of course.
 
At Boots anyway yeah. Other than that I've only tried independant pharmacies and they didn't have generics.

At the start of the year I would just buy a shitload in France - pure 400mg for about 2€50, and they taste good %) - and bring them back to London in a suitcase and they'd last me quite a while but unfortunately it eventually got to the point where the number of boxes I would've had to pack would have been sliiiiightly suspicious haha.
 
Boots definitely sell a cheap, own-brand generic. Or at least they certainly always used to. Numark and Superdrug have branches everywhere and both sell own-brand generics at ~£1.80/box.

Not that you require a source for CWE ingredients any more, of course ;)<3

But ya, if you ever do need co-cos then try Superdrug or Numark. They're behind the counter - just ask for generic/own-brand co-cocadamol. Pharmacist will advise you to only take for three days max and see a doctor if you need anything after that but is not a problem if you live somewhere with plenty of chemists or only use occasionally. And not a problem at all if you live in France :D

Aah I know I know :(
I'm gonna have to figure out my pain meds though since I've been taking DHC for my neck...I've cut it out with all the other opiates obviously but it's way too painful to continue with just the tetrazepam and my stomach can't handle ketroprofen anymore. Meh. Annoying.

Alright cool. I'll keep it in mind if/when I go back to them.
 
Proper pain-relief in a post-opi addicted person is kinda tricky it's true. Am in the same position really. However, I do find the difference comes down to how you see the opioids. There is a difference between using 'em therapeutically and recreationally... but can be a fine line and a blurry one at that. I suppose ultimately it comes down to trying to only use 'em when absolutely necessary and trying to steer clear from daily/habitual use. That and not just taking shitloads to try to get a buzz all the time anyway.

Hardcore NSAIDs (actually any NSAIDS) like ketroprofen, naproxen and diclofenac can be some help but you need to take omeprazole alongside 'em to make them feasible on the stomach. Docs should prescribe omeprazole with such drugs as a matter of course but if not there's no reason why they would have a problem with prescribing omeprazole if you ask. Actually, omeprazole may be handy for you anyway after the ibuprofen OD incident. Really does work wonders for tummy troubles.

Of course - but as you said, it can be a bit of a blurry line, especially when they're needed daily. How've you been dealing?
Because I was thinking I really do need a break from any kind of opiate for a while just to give my brain time to rewire. Also triggering, blablabla.

Oh that's good to know, thank you :) I've never gotten omeprazole but I'll ask about it when I see my GP tomorrow. It's a shame I had to stop the ketoprofen because it was helping pretty well really.
I'll probably also take the opportunity to ask him about non-opiate painkillers and try those out...
