Nice.

So I'm a semi-skag-head until Wednesday.

Shweet.
rofl

If it's getting you high, then don't take it every day... after a week or so you'll really notice when you stop. Oh, and you'll find out pretty quickly that DHC constipates as well as Imodium (loperamide, which is just codeine with something bolted to the side to prevent it getting into the brain and being converted to morphine like codeine does). So when you stop taking it, be prepared for the shits smile

DHC is about twice as potent as normal codeine IIRC. How many did you get prescribed?
Half an ounce.

The box had 30 in it. Did a wrongun when I doubled up on the dose. Now my mouth feels like it has been carpeted and my breath has stripped all the paint off the office walls.
Bit of caffeine might help.

Oh and go to the chemist and get some Lactulose or Senna or indeed both - you'll need it. boxedin

Erm... that may not be necessary; the toilet got pebble-dashed this morning.

And...

I think it may get a second coat very soon.

Start worrying when 6 don't have much effect!!! biggrin 30 proper 30mg is easily enough to get tolerance and dependence in some individuals... especially if you take the piss with double / triple doses etc. You'll know when, because it stops working and you need more. My non-medical advice is to avoid getting into this situation in the first place wink

Thank you Dr Face. I've never been a fan of pain killers, but this toothache was severious (yes, a hybrid of severe and serious).

It's a good job there aren't many intyhe box, at this rate, if I carry on, my breath will wipe out the whole of Hertfordshire.

Be careful if you drink as well, as it can cause respiratory depression, which is likely if you've taken as many as you've said.

Dihydrocodeine is an opiate of methadone which is why if you go and talk to Frank the link links directly to methadone. It is effective in killing pain of all kinds but will most probably leave you feeling smacked off your tits. It's also the reason that Paramol really is the strongest over the counter painkiller and actually works.

Once you get up to the opiod and opiate pain killers, they are all Morphine Analogues. The scale goes, and this is aproximate, Codeine Phosphate, Dihydrocodeine Tartrate, Morphine Sulphate, Oxycodone Hydrochloride, Diamorphine (Heroin was the trade name!!), Hydromorphone Hydrochloride. There other such as fentenyl the Diclofenates which are similar in potency to Morphine etc. However everyone reacts differently and some work better for some people than others.

sorry I didn't make that clear. The factory where these compounds are made is an interesting place!

Anti-inflammatories usually work better for a bad back, well they do for me.

I'm not a doctor BTW, I just keep them busy.
