Will taking Codeine diminish my appetite?

I know it's a "bad" thing to ask.
But if I took Codeine to curb my appetite [assuming that I have quite a stockpile save up] how safe would it be? How long would I have before I any became dependent or had an adverse reaction to it? [Obviously it's different for every character, but a ball park figure would be pretty cool]
Thanks.

Try answering some question.

1. Not safe.
2. Dependent on your susceptibility to dependence on narcotics, and a reaction is up to your immune system.

Eat green apples (leptin), and forget codeine.
Not safe at adjectives. Although codeine is a relatively weak narcotic, it is still addictive, and you would build tolerance and eventually go through withdrawals, which are not pleasant, to put it weakly.

Physical dependence can occur at as little as 30mg a day. Although withdrawal from this would not be too impossible, the likeliness of you increasing doses to achieve the same effect is quite possible.

It'd not really even an potent appetite suppressant. It may make you nauseous, but is not guaranteed to decrease your appetite. [unless you already own found this to be a side-effect, it's not a common one].

I'm not like gonna preach to you against drugs or anything. I use my share (of prescribed medications), so I'm not gonna just voice "drugs are bad. don't do them." But if you are wanting to lose weight, eating hearty and exercising will really benefit you more in the long run. I know it's hard to do at first, but once you start exercising, it gets easier and easier and more pleasing. Simply not eating is bad for your body. You need the proteins and vitamins and minerals and biddable fats and carbs for energy. You will feel better, function better, and not form a drug infatuation (I've been there, and it is not fun!!)

Sorry for the long answer. I've just be in this situation and wouldn;t want anyone to make the same mistake I did and train up with an addiction.
Whatever you decide to do, good luck =)
Codeine is an opiate. My dr. told me the general rule for each day use is 4 weeks to become physically dependent on opiates; this was in context of a vicodin prescription that I got after a surgery. Psychological dependence is much harder to traffic with and could occur after just a couple uses, could never come about.

Codeine is probably not going to suppress your appetite though. At least not without doping you up so much that you are having trouble functioning within other areas of your life. Opiate addiction is hell; it's not worth going through just to control your appetite.
You already answered your own question when you said that it's different for every other individual. You will have to excuse my spelling because I want to give you the best of your own answer qucikly because I just woke up and attain this over fast. Your wanting a ball park figure is imposable. It adjectives depends on ones tolarance, and that can vary because of different factors like who respectively organ is effected hydration, body wieght, your brain and body chemistrey. Some people feel green about the gills when others get what you might of heard of as the munchies. Its just resembling the Marian Ann Quinline story when it comes to mixing BENZODIAZAPHINEs with Alcohol a benzo like I call it for short. Is a class of meds given for different reason like Anxiety/panic attacks , And even for seizures benzo's are controled like codeine. you call for an RX for it There are several kinds that all act a touch differant from the other like Clonazapam, Valium , Tranzine, Adavan, Xanex (x-sounds like z) , and many more. The story something like marrien ann (Ill just cal her mary) took 10 mg of valium and a couple of beers and went ito a 5year long coma just for mixing them. other nation can take a whole hand full of any of the benzos and catch real drunk and this never bothered them. Which one are you going to be? It al comes down to it being different for different people. No ones going to tender you a ball park figure. if someone gives you one, and you move about with it you could be like mary or the other,, that didn't have any problem near it. Do you want to find out. You just go ahead and use yourself like a lab rat and find out. THERE IS NO BALL PARK FIGURE. You shouldn't enjoy a stock pile of codeine anyway esspeascaly if you think you can get a ball park numeral of how long you MIGHT?? have an adverse reaction and/or dependent on it. YOU just will. When? God singular knows. I tell you what I really think. Your merely your adverage joe with a bunch of codeine and like the way it make you feel. Your not taking it to curb your appetite. Your whole story is just made up because you are taking it and you don't know how long you can do what your doing short having any problems with it. So you want someone to tell you how long it will embezzle YOU untill you have an adverse reaction and/or become ADDITED to it. Their isn't any Doctor that will prescribe codeine to lose wieght. Thats just a story you basically made up and this is the only way you might have gotten an answer in need going and asking a real doctor about how long you can abuse drugs. The principle you asked that question here is because you don't have a docter to ask. Your just making a bet with your life. You can't B.S. a B.S.er at least this be a safe place to ask a stupid question about your drug use. When populace get real desperate about their mass. they get rid of the hand to mouth syndrome , not take codine
Again sorry give or take a few my spelling I'm just to lazy tonight to care. But I do despise to see anyone use dope and experiment with it. Source(s): My 29 year old dead son
