I'm not a frequent user of opiates. I mostly take codeine once in awhile (60-120 mg), and it's effective for pain relief and is somewhat sedating/relaxing. I had only ordered it from one of the main vendors.
I decided to order codeine from one of the other main vendors, which comes in capsules. Although these caps feel somewhat similar to the tablets I had previously ordered from the other vendor, they are extremely stimulating. Even just 60 mg prevents me from sleeping all night, even after taking larger-than-normal doses of benzos. And I feel like crap the next day.
I'm trying to figure out what's going on, and I'm wondering if these capsules are actually tramadol, which I've never taken before. Since tramadol is a norepinephrine-reuptake inhibitor, this could explain the extreme stimulation. For those of you who have tried both codeine and tramadol, could you describe the differences in their effects? Thank you.
