Everything about Dihydrocodeine totally explained
Due to dihydrocodeine providing a relaxing and euphoric high when taken in higher than therapeutic doses it's quite commonly used recreationally. As mentioned above, dihydrocodeine and its related drugs dihydromorphine and hydrocodone have a tendency to create subjective effects similar to those reported with MDMA such as enhanced empathy, euphoria, talkativeness and ability to suspend or dissolve hang-ups and excessive defence mechanisms. Other opioids may also produce similar effects, but compared to their analgesic strength the dihydrocodeine and hydrocodone series stand out as especially strong.
The onset of action of dihydrocodeine and the subsequent effects are often sufficient to satisfy and pleasantly surprise even heroin users; the article "Dihydrocodeine Information" quotes a heroin user as saying "[chewingCodidol extended-release tablets]...it's just like gear [for exampleheroin]!"
A typical recreational dose amongst those with low tolerance for HYDROCODONE will be between 20-40mg, and maybe around 60mg for high tolerance users. For plain CODEINE it's around 150mg-200mg; anything above 200mg codeine is a lot if you don't have a tolerance. A typical recreational dose of DIHYDROCODIENE for someone with no tolerance would be around 150mg, for higher tolerance 300mg to 450mg. Anything above these dose guideline risks OD or borderline OD'ing; which just makes you sick and vomiting for hours, so be careful.

(Also all these things are very, very addictive; even from using them recreationally for only 2 days, a tolerance quickly will already develop and a moderate-strong physical addiction withdrawals is felt; and an even more strong psychological love thereafter for opiates. Of course, terrible withdrawals will be felt after 2-3 weeks of recreational abuse. experiencing a full blown opiate high is actually unsettling since you can't always be like that yet you immediately love the idea of staying high like this all the time which just taunts you forever after this, urging to find and do more). A lot of people feel that the psychological addiction is worse than the physical addiction as life feels plain and boring afterwards. A person who has taken a recreational dose of DIHYDROCODIENE can also feel indestructible as hot and cold is less noticeable and the pain reliving effects of the opiates within the drug itself can allow a user to hurt themselves and not feel it.

However it should be made clear not to go too high over this dosage as there has been one instance codeine of death with as low as 400mg (anything over 60mg dihydrocoiene is dangerous even for individuals with higher tolerance)with a person without any opiate tolerance.
In both clinical and recreational respects, dihydrocodeine shares with hydrocodone the ability to be significantly boosted by the muscle relaxant
Carisoprodol (Soma, Sanoma &c). The doses of both should be reduced and those who carelessly take these two drugs at the same time seriously endanger their health. Nonetheless, this kind of mixture has a legitimate place in medicine and can he very helpful if undertaken properly: some proprietary Carisprodol preparations and doctors' orders for prescription compounding are mixtures of that drug with an NSAID, other ingredients like caffeine, dextromethorphan, vitamin C, cimetidine, paracetamol, antacids, antihistamines, all on top of a weak to moderately weak opioid such as codeine or dihydrocodeine. A common example is the three strengths of
Soma Compound With Codeine No. 1, 2 or 3 -- for example with 8, 16 and 32 mg of codeine phosphate.
