A painful Codeine OD

Alright so Tonight I got ahold of a bottle of Mytussin/Codeine cough syrup. Two teaspoons was the recommended dose. When I had a cough and was sick I went up to one and a half tablespoons without affect. Tonight I gave 4 tablespoons a try. After that and a smirnoff twist, I still didn't feel much, a slight buzz. I waited longer, and persuasion from the chatroom got me to take another tablespoon. Well I didn't get a euphoric feeling after about another 15 minutes. Instead, my breathing became a little slower, and all of a sudden slight pains came to my chest cavity. I complained a little about it to the group and waited for it to pass, unfortunately, it only got worse. Finally I decided to call poison control, who sent out the paramedics. The pain was coming fast and hard, it felt like my interns were twisting and cramping and tearing apart. The ambulance and firetruck arrived at a time that I had nearly had a respitory arrest, and they gave me a shot of something, later finding out it was something, Naltrexin I think it was called?
Anyway, I learned a lesson, and that is, I'm a moron, and don't play with cough syrup. It may not be what most would consider a strong opiate, but do to the fact that they never really label exact dosage amounts per unit, as well as it has other chemicals in it including another opiate (not just codeine), it can be dangerous.

Holy shit, that must have sucked.
Never mess with anything unless you know exactly what is in it and how much you're supposed to take.

Maybe you should have researched more about it and taken it more carefully? Jesus, you took more just because someone in a chatroom told you so 
BTW even if the dose is determined you should start with LESS the first times, you might be allergic (like myself) or it may contain another substances which may be dangerous.

You know what, before you judge that, think about the fact that I was already under the influence of opiates and alcohol, and making decisions isn't exactly the easiest thing to do in that situation. (and that chatroom was also #shroomery).

I dont think he was judging you.Opiates and alcohol are not an excuse for making stupid decisions.
(and that chatroom was also #shroomery).
Yes and #shroomery has steered people in a perfectly good direction in the past havnt they?
I am sorry you had an unpleasant time.Do you know what else is in the cough medicine that may have caused these reactions?Live and learn right?
I hope you feel better.

So here you say you didn't feel much, and later you backtrack say your judgement was impaired...kinda sounds like you just want to blame this on the people in chat....

I agree.It also sounds like you just took to much codeine,I doubt it was anyother active ingredients in the cough syrup.I dislike codeine compared to other opiates.

I did 6x60mg codeine pills last night. I must say I did enjoy the mellow buzz.

No the alcohol had an affect, but I wasn't feeling a huge effect from the codeine.
And the part about it being #shroomery - I discussed it and came to the conclusion with multiple people after we tried to read more up on it. It wasn't like I was dared, so it was all on hopeful knowledge, that everyone was a little wrong on.

You don't know my metabolism or how well I can handle alcohol. For all you know I could be a serious lightweight.

This is stupid to argue over.
Bottom line is....YOU fucked up.It was your own fault.Thank goodness you are ok and not seriously hurt.This had nothing to do with a chat room or your impared judgment.You learned your lesson.
What more is there to say?

EDIT:this wasnt direct towards you only mav.It was for everyone in the thread.

Yeah, I'm definitely never gonna do that again. :P
But I still haven't slept. And I can't get to sleep. It's frustrating, do you know anything about what they injected me with? The naltrexone stuff? (How do you spell it?)
