So I was diaganosed with mono last week its been hell. lost a lot of weight. told to stay off work a month. Throat is sore as a MF, and cant eat solids or anything. Prescribed codeine phosphate for pain which i have not taken until today, just stuck to normal ibuprofen.

Half an hur ago I took 60mg, and I feel sick. Like I'm about to throw up any time now. when will this pass? roughly?
 
Codeine can be harsh on your stomach if you're not used to it. Try lying down and drink sips of water. Might take a couple hours to feel better. I had mono and it was rough, felt very lethargic and ill for a long time.
 
tried to throw up nothing came, given my lack of food intake. Now just distracting myself. Hopefully the hours pass quickly.
Mono is absolute hell. Codeine is not what i expected, and to think I was going to experiment with Heroin!!! jfc.
 
well if there there is apap in the the codeine that could also make you nauseous or if you no tolerance to opiates/opioids that good do it but if you have some marijuana smoke a bowl and that should help the nausea out and I was a heroin addict iv user and honestly do not try it I mean if you were only smoke it but only once very rarely because once you do it enough and you get that dope sick you will want to do it over and over again so you feel good again because heroin in my personal opinion was the best high I have ever had that's why its so hard to keep away from it and to stay away from the needle is so hard because of those rushes but yeah it could be cause of your intolerance to opiates or the apap if there is any in there like Crashing said 2-5 hours but honestly I would bet 1-2 hours you will feel fine again unless you have some bud then smoke a little and that will help you out
 
You probably would have died with heroin.

You'll feel better in 4-8 hours probably depending on how bad it is.
 
If 60mg of codeine is fucking you up that bad.. please do not go to stronger opiates as you're almost guaranteed to OD.

The feeling will start to pass in a few hours. Drink water, get some fresh air, etc.
 
well honestly guys even a very intolerant person to codeine 60mg would be enough for a good high and if hes thinking about trying h im sure he has some experience with opiates unless he is really that stupid to jump from little to no intolerance to heroin then he is idiotic because like my post said trying heroin is a mistake and definitely needles people told me to not do h and never get into needles but my ignorance and stupidity avoided there advice and there I was shooting up atleast 200 dollars worth of h a day I regret not taking there advice because it is something when you do you will never want to turn back from but no he should be feeling better within 1 2 or 3 hours at most from codeine
 
Was there anything else in the codeine you took?

When I was a child I drank a mix that included gustafen (sp? the same used in some Dxm mixed). It destroyed me for like 6 hours, I was very sick. Sadly, I still enjoyed the experience though it was enough to deter me from the drug class for years ( I was very young mind you).

This, the obvious. You prob took codeine with other crap in it. And no i would not say codeine and heroin can even be compared. But yeah, dont take Heroin. Do you feel high and sick or just sick. If there is no high and you feel sick I would not say its the typical codeine symptoms.
 
Well that lasted a full five hours, six before i was feeling normal. I sat there window open, willing my stomach to calm down and room to stop spinning.

I took codeine phosphate so it didn't have anything in it. Just codeine.

I am that dumb,I have no opiate experience and was thinking of experimenting with heroin. The only time I had an opiate was morphine post surgery and that made me almost nauseous and dry retch.

I don't know if this matters but I am a female and under 100lbs due to recent weight loss from the mono. Perhaps body is too weak to handle opiates?

I won't be doing heroin or anything opiate based. That kind of nausea is just crazy.
 
If you feel anything intense at 60mg then you definitely have like, no tolerance whatsoever, and I shudder to imagine what your first experience with heroin would be like if such a small dose of a weak pain pill made you feel this sick. Naturally occurring opiates like morphine and codeine tend to produce stronger side effects vs the semi-synthetics like oxycodone or hydromorphone, but all of these are things to avoid, in the end, mono aside, body weight and gender rarely have any effects on a users tolerance of opiates. The addicts I've met with the largest habits tended to be small, extremely skinny females with heroin predominantly.

anti-histamines are usually indicated for those who are super sensitive to opioids like this, diphenhydramine, meclizine, or hydroxyzine probably would provide the anti-emetic properties to counteract the codeine, but you have to factor in that some users are particularly sensitive to certain opiates. As I mentioned earlier, morphine and codeine are both naturally occurring alkaloids isolated from the opium poppy papaver somniferum, and although im not a healthcare professional, so I don't know about the mono issue but your negative reactions to both codeine and morphine would suggest that an opioid addiction is the worst choice for you, if you felt so horrible on these opiates, i can't imagine how bad your individual body chemistry would handle withdrawals, dependency, etc.

It's a zero win addiction, let me tell you, all opiates do when abused are help you escape or begin to rationalize taking them in a steadily increasing fashion, always needing your dose, always thinking about your next dose, it's like, just guaranteed pain, which is the irony of pain killing drugs, the short and long-term effects must be considered before recklessly jumping into something that will change your life. I've yet to met someone who ever used opiates long term and still believe that the addiction did not hold them back from their full potential. Opiates become your everything. The ups and the downs. For most addicts it produces a synthetic sense of euphoria, feelings of relief, anxiolysis, a high that you naturally chase, and everyone probably surprises themselves at how far they chase it, the high works by flooding your body's opioid receptors and dopamine is released, rewiring your brain's natural reward pathways neurologically, often until that pill, that powder, that dope, that smack, becomes more important than anyone.

In the future, when taking analgesics, in the hospital or when a doctor prescribes them to you, be sure to give them notice of your hypersensitivity and ask for an anti-emetic to be prescribed along with it such as ondansetron.
 
^ lol yeah I do that too. I had like a full blown Convoe with a BLer thinking it was a girl, turned out to be a guy.
 
I felt in love with codeine when I took it. extreme euphoria. that means u probably aren't an opiate person! so u wouldn't like heroin. lucky you. however, 60mg sounds kinda a high dose for a first time use. right? anyway, if u could throw up ud feel better.
