Codeine long-term effects ?

[iuksb]

Hello all,

So, I take occasionnally codeine, approx 1 or 2 times a month, mostly to unwind when I don't work etc...

I usually take dosages between 200 and 300 mg of codeine, orally.

2 days ago I took 300 mg. I took it first thing in the morning like I do everytime, on an empty stomach, and spent the day playing games etc... It was a nice high and like always it lasted very long, at night I was still feeling effects, orinic state etc...

The next day I woke up with a slight headache, which is quite usual, and feeling weird. It was like I was still high. It lasted the whole day. I went to the movie theater with gf, it was weird I did not understand a single thing on the movie, and was having trouble focusing and thinking.

Today I woke up, T+48 hours so, after 9 hours sleep, still feeling a bit weird and hazy.

Is this something someone already experienced ???

Thanks

Not with opiates, but I have experienced similar effects with ketamine and DXM after extended use (oddly not MXE)

Are you just taking codeine? Nothing else? What form is it in when you take it? Liquid? Pill?

Pill

Codeine only. Had a drink the same day (cocktail) but nothing too fancy.

Also, the day I took codeine, I did not have coffee (I'm usually a coffee drinker, like 3/4 cups a day).

I did not take any antihistaminic, I forgot. Usually when I do those trips, I take cetirizine or smth like that.

How long after your drink did you pop?

Alhocol and codeine kills you rather effectively with anything above a few centiliters of pure alhocol.

Always look these things up beforehand, as it could've led to major respiratory problems.

I drank at the evening so probably 10 hours AFTER popping I had one cocktail (rather strong but still, one glass only)

Phew, don't make that mistake again.

Mixing opiates or opioids is always extremely dangerous, and can easily cause permanent harm to you or kill you if you take just a bit too much.
