Codeine

At the point where I took 352mg of codeine, I had taken it many times before. I'd started at around 100mg and gradually increased my dose to 200mg, then 250mg, then 300mg... I was also using the process I found online to extract the caffeine from the preparation, so for the record even though I was using OTC A.C.&C.s there wasn't much caffeine in this mixture.

In any case, when I did 300mg (or maybe slightly less) I was fine, there was nothing but feeling nice and good etc.

At 350mg however, it was different. I believe I discovered the amount of codeine that for me is far too much.

At this dose I started out feeling AMAZING. I just sat on my bed and stared at my wall and felt so good and so relaxed.

Sadly, this feeling didn't last long... after about 10 minutes I felt my heart rate increasing, and I started to feel absolutely panicky for no reason. I started to reevaluate my life in this desperate anxious way. I felt absolutely horrified by various things I'd done in the past and hadn't thought about in months, so horrified that I felt like I couldn't take it, but I couldn't do anything about it either. So I just curled up in a ball and all these horrible guilty thoughts were racing through my head. It was the most intense anxiety/guilt trip I'd ever experienced, and lasted about an hour. This whole time my heart was pounding so hard and fast that I thought my chest was going to explode.

All and all it was really horrible. I'm definitely sticking to lower doses from now on!
