I remember hearing/reading somewhere that redosing codeine within ~6 hours is pointless,

I cant find the info again though, so just wondering.. is it?:\

I took some ~2.5 hours ago and it didnt really do alot, so want to take some more, BUT, dont want to waste any.
 
^ I've also heard the same thing, but, I do not have any personal experiments to back up such.

Curious to what the others will add.
 
I don't think it gets metabolised properly within 6 hours... even redosing the same day you'll have some kind of dimished effects I'd say.
 
I've taken it ~9 hours after, it seemed to stack with the residual feelings that were left from the previous...

Maybe I should just take one for the team and find out for once and for all what happens if you redose not long after the first. .. I guess its only a couple dollars if I waste it.

*edit*

guess I'll wait

"Finally, codeine itself is a cyp2d6 inhibitor. This means that taking the whole dose as quickly as possible will probably give you the biggest high (ie. its a waste to redose in 30 mins)." - Erowid
 
Mmm fair enough. Sounds like it would be worth your while to wait a day or two and then dose again :)

It's only codeine ;) Pretty easy to find again isn't it? Are you just CWEing?




dont know about you guys in the states - but codeine is quite expensive here in NZ (but its the only OTC opiate so fuuuck)


mmm just took 320mgs 10mins ago....omg im getting so itchy! :)
 
haha lucky you jimihark. . . I still have. . . 2hrs to wait before I go again... cmoooon


Codeine isnt that expensive, I mean, if you compare it to other drugs, it works out even cheaper than acid, although I guess you dont get so high so...
 
mate i find generally 4 hours is good.

the longer u wait, obviously the better the high will be, but i find if i wait 4 hours and the effects feel worn off that is generally long enough to get a decent re-high out of it.

as someone else above said, codeine inhibits itself, so going by that, i generally find that if the feeling has worn off, your good to go.

however codeine can be strange, sometimes il take it and get really high, other times il have the same amount, and not get nearly as high. generally these times u can redose quicker, but the times it really hits ya u will need to wait longer.
 
You can really GET HIGH on Codeine only once a day.
And even once a day, your tolerance will raise up VERY FAST. (every day you will need to up the dose)
I'm sure it works as a pain-killer every 4-6 hours though.
 
Its pointless to take codeine within 24 hours of a dose. Same as Darvocet, which is also pointless to redose... unless you're like really sick.
 
swim just took 144mg codeine cold water extraction 2.5 hours ago and then 2.5 hours later swim took 200mg codeine and ten minutes later swim felt a huge buzz and right now swim is high as a kite. the first time swim doesed swim felt nothing at all but now swim feels so awsome swim thought swim wasnt gunna buzz but swim was wrong. i guess different people have a big difference in metabolizms. swim is also on ssri's, clonazepam 4mg a day, and an anti-phsycotic called invega so swim thought he wasnt gunna buzz at all but it's the greatest feeling of swims life. opiates rule to swim
 
^ The whole SWIM thing isn't really done around here man. I am not going to bite your head off like some people would because I can see its your first post but try to remember in future it isn't looked upon favourably and there is a chance it will be edited.
