do you think ??? I found Perduretas worthless. No pain relief and made me sick as a dog : ( glad they help you though they seem easier to get than other some other options.
Perduretas is time released. If taken in regular doses, the best pain releif occurs on the second day of regular doses. In this sense it is not that great for ppl with acute and b/t pain, but for cp sufferers (like myself) it can be better than hydro as the pain doesn't start to creep back in 2 hrs after dosage like hydro. I love hydro, but it really only kills pain for me for an hour or 2 at its peak.
Everyone is different, as is pain.

hey, LBJ where ya been ?? Any dose of codeine above about 64 mg will cause a raging belly ache & possibly vomiting with nauses. Thats why codeine is limited as a pain reliever and more is not better, unless you like belly aches. I generally take doses of codeine around 60 mg and take half a tab of "dramamine" (suppress nausea & vomiting tendency ) I buy walmart version of "motion sickness" tabs same stuff as brand name. Its supposed to be for "travel sickness" I realize but it just works as an all purpose tummy medication too. Try it if you get sick from codeine.
High Blueeyes,
I just got out of jail for importing codeine phosphate! Lol! j/k, no I got cleaned up so I could re-evaluate my original affliction. I got a little too enthusiastic with the freedom of OP's if you know what I mean.
Well, I came to the conclusion that my pain is quite real, and connot be treated properly w/ OTC meds and PT. I am currently researching Pain Management Specialists locally so I won't have to go online and so I can get something that I don't have to take every 4 hours. If they can't help me, I will be looking for a legit ROP, probably YPM for future PM.
Please, if anyone can share experience or advice regarding Pain Specialists please PM me!
Until then, be safe and remember that codeine without APAP is a Schedule II drug, you may as well be importing oxy for all legal purposes. I am not knocking any good sources, I just see alot of LE activity and the people on this site are mostly victims, beit CP Patient or Addict, legal trouble will not help your afflictions, no matter how much $$ you can save.

yea? try Codeisan then.. thats the best.
I tend to notice Perduretas gives u that stuff-ed up feelin because its slow released. try breakin them to smaller pieces or crushing them in your mouth..
If ur a fan of hydro and not codeine, dont take em at all. Suggest u try codeisans though, just take 3 or 4 with a tylenol tab, I guarantee ull feel better, if u dont ur probably immune to codeine and shudnt do it.
Thanks acidburn. I'll give the codeisans a try. I am waiting,a long time now, for an IOP order of VPs.
I need other options as the pain isn't understanding of postal delays etc.

My Doc has had me on T3's for cluster headaches for about 3 months, I have developed a very high tolerance to the codeine and was wondering how much codeine is safe to take in one single dose????
Thanks
You defenitely don't wanna bump up to too much acetamenophen intake. It's just not healthy. Tell your doc how much relief they bring you and how your tolerance is rising then suggest Percocet, Norco, or Oxycodone.

Could someone explain the difference between tylenol 1,2,3 and 4 (if they all exist). Is it just different amounts of codeine?
Thanks!
According to Ortho-McNeil, the makers of Tyenol w/Codeine, they only produce the T3's and T4's along with an Elixer.
The T3's have 30 mgs of Codeine
The T4's have 60 mgs of Codeine.
The Elixer as 12 megs mer 5 mL
However, I've heard they are availbale as T1's and T2's in Canada.
When they were produced in USA, the T1's had 8 megs and the T2's had 15 megs. However, I can't vouch for what Canada has as I'm suffering from the 110 degree temperatures in Phoenix!
Hope this helps!
