I got prescribed this for a cough i had. and i still have it, but on the bottle there is nothing that tells you how many mg it is of codeine - prometh

anyone know what the generic mg is in the prometh/codeine? or how i can find out?

what would be a good first time dosage for someone with no tolerance.
 
I assume you're talking about Promethazine with Codeine? From what I've gathered the active ingredients are 10mg Codeine and 6.25mg Promethazine per 5mL.

DO NOT abuse this as high doses of Promethazine mixed with Codeine can cause severe respiratory depression and could be fatal.
 
yeah i think its Promethazine with Codeine, i guess its 10mg if thats the usual one people get prescribed.

so if took about an ounce and a half of this (90mg) it would not be a good idea?

has anyone every experimented with this syrup?
 
I personally never knew how much codeine or promethazine was in 5 ml, but if what shady4091's info is correct, I would take 20 ml if you have no tolerance. That is 40 mg of codeine, but promethazine potentiates codeine a good deal, and adds to the sedation. So, I would start at 20 ml (4 teaspoons) if you have no or little tolerance, either way you'll feel something do to the promethazine.
 
Yeah, I guess if you have no opiate tolerance at all then you could take a little bit like Alex said. Start low though, they are both sedating.
 
i took 2 tablespoons, so 1 fl oz. from my knowledge thats about 60 mg codeine. so ill see if i feel anything but, im not gonna take anymore if i feel nothing from this.

or should i take more right now? maybe another table spoon to make 90 mg. because i have done 60 mg codeine in pill form and felt nothing.
 
I'm really unsure of the interaction between Codeine and Promethazine so I can't tell you if it would be safe or not. But from what I've read, the danger lies in respiratory depression, so if you feel nothing from that, you should be alright to up it to 90mg. Higher than that is playing with fire though...
 
yeah i took like 3/4 of a tablesoon. probably around 80 - 90 mg. ive read many reports on prometh/codeine and people take up to 120 as a first time dose. so i think im fine.

but yeah if i feel nothing i will not exceed this dosage and just forget about it.

thanks for your help!
 
If you don't have a tolerance, get ready to nod. Don't see a way around it with the amount you consumed + the promethazine. It should feel mighty fine.
 
its been an hour and i feel basically nothing...my last meal was about 2 - 3 hours before i consumed the cough syrup also.

wtf?

i used to have access to percs also and would feel nothing from about 10 - 12 mg. while my friends would feel good from 10 mg. but they also hadnt eaten like 6 hours prior to taking them.

why didnt the cough syrup work? i took about 3 table spoons.

i only weigh 130 also.

Edit: just thought maybe the syrup wasnt the dosage i thought? maybe it wasnt 10 mg/ tsp? how can i tell because it doesnt have a mg dosage on the bottle. do they even make a lower prometh - codeine syrup then the 10 mg
 
You could just have a naturally higher tolerance to opiates than most people. 90mg really isn't very much, it's just being safe since you're new to it... Unfortunately Codeine mixed with Promethazine isn't the way to go to get high. Get your hands on some T3's or OTC Codeine pills and perform a cold water extraction.

EDIT: You could also be one of the very few unlucky people who lack the enzyme needed to convert Codeine into Morphine.
 
Be patient, Kyle627, once an hour had elapsed before I took a few Percocet, and I felt nothing. I was like wtf, but sure enough as soon as I laid down in bed, it hit me. Why don't you take a quick hot shower, and crawl into bed and get cozy.
 
Yeah. They're pretty subtle too, I remember the first time I took Codeine (90mg) I'm not sure how long it took but eventually I stood up and was like "Whoa... I feel good..."
 
Natural tolerances to opiates are very common. I have a higher opiae tolerance than most people who do opiates daily, despite hardly EVER taking them. First time I ever did an opiate, I took 120mg of IR morphine (because I have severe spinal arthritis), hoping to get a nice buzz, instead all I got was a bit of pain dulling. Other examples include 8mg hydromorphone snorted on no tolerance, slight buzz. The most extreme I've done tho was 100ug fentanyl IV. Doctor gave me the high dose with intentions of knocking me out cold, as it was for a colonoscopy and he had to take a biopsy at every corner of my colon. Not only was I awake watching the tv screen showing the inside of my colon, i felt SLIGHT pain every single time he took some tissue for a biopsy.

You can think of it as missing out, or like me, can take it as a blessing :P
 
i was expecting to stand up and feel it and realize it kicked in after sitting on the couch for an hour, but nothing really happened.

i took 3 tablespoons at 8:30 - 8:45. Around 10 i layed in bed, and at like 10:20 still not feeling much i felt very tired randomly and fell asleep. but that was almost 2 hours after i drank the syrup, so i dont think it had anything to do with the codeine. gonna try 3 more tablespoons so about 90 mg. same as last night just to see, or shuld i try a little bit more?
 
It was probably the Promethazine that knocked you out. At this ratio the sedation from the Promethazine is probably always gonna KO you before you get any positive effects from the Codeine.
 
im going to try again this weekend, when i dont have work the next day so i can stay up and see.

i want to try 4 table spoons, about 120 mg and if that doesnt work im just gonna forget about this, i have read many experiences with people taking 120+ mg and have never read one where respitarory depression occured.

does 120 mg sound like a good dose?
