It is commonly used to treat post-surgical dental pain. Ĭodeine is used to treat mild to moderate pain. Codeine occurs naturally and makes up about 2% of opium. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. In 2013, about 361,000 kg of codeine were produced while 249,000 kg were used, which made it the most commonly taken opiate. Ĭodeine was discovered in 1832 by Pierre Jean Robiquet. Codeine works following being broken down by the liver into morphine how quickly this occurs depends on a person's genetics. Its use as of 2016 is not recommended in children. Care should be used during breastfeeding, as it may result in opiate toxicity in the baby. Whether its use in pregnancy is safe is unclear. Serious side effects may include breathing difficulties and addiction. Ĭommon side effects include vomiting, constipation, itchiness, lightheadedness, and drowsiness. Codeine exhibits similar abuse potential as other opioid medications. Its effects last for about four to six hours. It typically starts working after half an hour, with maximum effect at two hours. In Europe, it is not recommended as a cough medicine in those under 12 years of age. Evidence does not support its use for acute cough suppression in children or adults. Greater benefit may occur when combined with paracetamol (acetaminophen) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin or ibuprofen. It is typically used to treat mild to moderate degrees of pain. It is found naturally in the sap of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. Just giving you a heads up of what might be in your future, cuz you sound like me 2 years ago.Codeine is an opiate and prodrug of morphine used to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea. i still have some oxy in my stash but i'm waiting for at least another month before i touch it. Here i am now, almost 10 months clean from needles and opiates, and the only reason i'm taking a break is for a tolerance break and because money has gotten tight. just giving you a warning for what chasing the opiate high can bring about eventually with enough time i honestly never saw myself ever achieving this point in my life before i was 30 and i was only 20 at the time. i also began shooting dilaudid as well, along with other things. if i could go back in time i would.Ī year and a half from that point i'm using needles to dose 120 mg of oxycodone at a time. when i had percs i used to take at least 7 at a time when i was new to opiates, and let me tell you i used to have the best days man back when i was a freshman when i used to dose those. u won't be taking near to close the amount that's dangerous. 25 mg would probably be a better place to start tho if you got those percs, just in case you are opiate sensitive ( i had a friend who was very sensitive once and he was puking violently for several hours).Īnd you'll be fine with the apap. for me, personally, i wouldn't have gone any lower, since i seem to have a naturally high tolerance to most things. My first time i did a 30mg roxicodone ( no apap). i was just in high school at the time, and could not even perceive the wonders that opiates would bring to me in the near future. man twas such a pleasant time, back when everything was simpler.
Dam this thread is taking me back in time to when i first took my first opiate.
