Oxycodone vs Codeine

I tried searching but didn't really come up with anything useful, so might as well just ask. I've been taking percocets for a while now and I've stumbled upon 300/30 tylenol/codeine. Does it have a similar affect, and what dosage is recommended for beginners?
 
You'd probably have better luck using the search engine for this question rather than a whole new post. Also, if you google "opioid conversion chart", you'll be able to find websites that convert different opioid dosages from one to another. 120 mg codeine is probably a fine dose for beginners, but you didn't mention how much percocet you usually take and if you have a tolerance or not, which also factors into it.

Codeine tends to be more of a body high for me than oxycodone, the latter tending to be more of a head buzz. But for people who aren't widely experienced with alot of opiates, most opiates will feel more or less identical, and indeed, they do feel very similar, with only slight variations on the same theme with different opiates.
 
I usually take 20-30mg of oxycodone. Thanks :] I'll look for a conversion chart.
 
^ alot of times narcotic conversion charts are not that accurate for dosing. Also it will take a fair bit of codiene to have a similair effect to 20-30mg of oxycodone. You will need to do a CWE on those pills if you want a similair buzz to your dose of oxy.
 
i can take 480mg of codeine (8 of the tylenol 4's, which are just double the codeine of a tylenol 3, which is what you have) and it doesnt compare to even 60 or 70mg of oxycodone IMO.. oxycodone is alot better..
Also, pinkcloud sounds about right.. if your usual dose of oxycodone is 15-30mg, start with 120mg of codeine (4 tylenol 3's) and take it from there

The conversion charts do, I've noticed, tend to give lower equivalency and dosing than what I the actual equivalencies seem to be. Also, codeine has a ceiling effect at around 400 mg, so dosing above that point won't do any good.
 
You've most likely consumed the codeine by now, but I still want to add a word of caution.

I wouldn't start with 120mg of codeine if I were you. I take oxycodone regularly, as in every day, in large doses. However, like many people I have an allergic reaction to codeine that gets pretty out of hand past 60mg doses. I would suggest taking just one or two of the tablets if you have no prior codeine experience with which to gauge your potential allergy.

LVilleGuy - I wouldn't say codeine is useless to someone taking oxy regularly. It can come in very handy if you have an unpleasant and unexpected dry streak to relieve withdrawals. Needless to say it's infinitely better than immodium for such an occasion.
 
IMO codiene sucks compared to oxy but yea if you did a CWE on enough of those you'll get the opiate feeling, but IMO if you are used to oxycodone, codiene will be mild, ok but mild. and as someone said before if you do oxy alot/enough codiene will def be good for WD's
 
Yeah Oxycodone is MUCH MORE stronger the Codeine, codeine is basically around the same level of Tramdol. So Oxycodone provides a better high, more euhoria and also much more addictive and dangerous. sO if your opiate-naive then start with the codeine 30mgs if you are going to use, just dont take more then a couple or 3 for ur first time. Also beware those also have caffiene in that so be aware of that also.

I tried taking codeine after my two week long oxycodone binge and I didn't even feel it. I only enjoy taking 30 - 90mg of codeine after that I just get more itchy.
