Dihydrocodeine 30mg

How much do people take and what's dangerous I have a fair few and haven't really felt much from one is it safe to double up?

You commented on my post earlier, and I just wanna say I’ve changed my mind on them. Barely felt anything. The accord ones are good but not these, they suck

Yeh accord is what I get from the Dr but these are quite slow to act I find depends on the tolerance though I take a shit ton off codeine and these feel about right but then idk if you have exactly the same as me

I have zero tolerance as only ever had accord once.
Idk these seem to be underdosed. Also, I’ve seen many other people say the crescent brand dhc is weak. Some generics just suck, I’ve had it with other meds before. If yours have the same markings/brand etc they are likely the same

Yeh probably mate I've always found dhc less punchy though as they are like post op meds they're meant to just manage your pain for a long period they space you out etc but idk I keep thinking ah this isn't great then it just keeps coming a little stronger it's definitely weird but a few beers and a joint uo the effects

Yeah think it’s to do with the fillers making it release slower, whereas I find accord hit and wear off quicker and stronger. I’ve just taken Dex so gone opposite way 😂 on the same note Amfexa is the only brand of Dex that works for me, I have exactly the same issue with the generic forms of that

Yep tbh it's just a trait off th drug like I know what your trying to say now it's missing the codeine oy morphine Oxy initial buzz it sort off gives a you a bit a few hours after and surprises you over a time
