[geoff755]

hi all a mate of mine has tried codine 4 times now and has not felt anything but he feels the side effects the next day first time he tried he took 90 mg the last time 200mg my friend had drunk a couple tins of stella the times he tried codine and hes thinking isit the beer stopping codine from doing anything also hes always took it on a full stomach should he take it on an empty stomach any help much appreciated

Use the search engine lots of info. And yse codeine is better on a empty stomach. Not sure if the beer stops the effects but your friend could try it without the beer next time.

Swim likes his codeine and he drinks with it sometimes. He can still feel the effect of codeine. Not saying that mixing is a good thing, But swim likes it!

Swim doesn't like drinking with codeine. He finds that it spoils the experience. He does agree with Yaba that codeine is far better on an empty stomach.

It's worth noting that if Swiy's friend is taking paracetamol/acetaminophen with his codeine he should avoid drinking alcohol as it will possibly induce paracetamol toxicity.

[yaba]

Always do a CWE (cold water extraction) if the codeine is mixed with paracetamol or other useless crap. Unless swiy has co-codamol 30/500 and thinks 60mg of codeine is enough for him.

And swim knows what swit means. Thats why he only sometimes has a drink with codeine, it depends on his mood.

Please have a look at cold water extraction on this forum.
