codeine...........

satori · 05-08-2006, 11:00 PM

Morphine is very addictive and easy to become physicaly dependant. Codeine turns into morphine (which is how it works as a pain killer). So is codeine as addictive as morphine? IF it were.... wouldnt it be the same schedaul? I guess i never really thought about it from that view point. From what i understand 10mg rougly equals one mg of codeine so 100mg codeine = 10mg morphine. Would it be the same in regaurds to being just as physicaly depednant? But then i come to this thought. Hydrocodone is a painkiller that converts to something else too (hydromorphine(SP) ) but that is stronger then morphine (the chemical it converts to) yet hydrocodone withdrawls arent as bad as morphine.

<------ Confused
