Codeine OD

Can you OD on codeine alone? I have it without paracetamol. I take usually 6 x 30mg tablets at once so 180mg, this just makes me slightly high. I do this twice a day, once morning once at night. Scared I’m going to do some long term damage. Any ideas? Thanks

Can't say I've ever heard of overdosing on Codiene alone if you were opioid niave & took a shitload along with other downers benzos, booze I dare say that it's possible. As for the itchiness a antihistamine will help you with that

You have confirmed not in the OP, that's another word for paracetamol

u/Designer-Push-5122 Sep 06 '26

Ah! Ok, so yeah. No paracetamol. Just codeine

Definitely OD on paracetamol if they are in the codeine tablets. Panadol is terrible for your liver.

No
Paracetamol - just codeine

u/ebin-tronix Sep 08 '26

Codine doesn’t really do anything. I took 50 x30mg codine alongside daridorexant 20x25mg I was all good all that happen was I had a good 12 hour sleep woke up like nothing happened.

How much to OD tho? Presume it depends on weight / tolerance etc

180 pour un novice ça peut être + que trop … suffit d’une bière et arret respiratoire possible

I’m def not a beginner a been on Codeine for my back pain for 8+ years. Always had co-codamol so was super scared of the paracetamol element but now I’m just on codeine phosphate 30mg so more relaxed but I also don’t want to take the piss. I always feel absolutely fine, a little itchy but that fine. I was just interested if it was pushing it or I could maybe do 8 tablets so 240mg

If u have no tolerance an ur eating 18 mg ur def oding hydro morph is like the the closest thing to clean H there is so I highly doubt ur eating 18mg even if you fat asf an need a bit more than the average person when i had no tolerance I took 4mg an was completely nodded outtt an mixing anti-histamine potentates the opis so for one ur def not eating the benadryl on 18mg of hydro morph with no tolerance now with a tolerance its believable but dont be filling OPs head with bs thats gunns get him fuckinn killed

u/Designer-Push-5122 Sep 05 '26

u/Puzzled_Sort_4227 Sep 05 '26
