The effects of Codeine are short-lived, lasting no more than several hours after dosage. Codeine, which is considered one of the least potent of the narcotic analgesics available, is an opioid narcotic, and comes from the opium poppy. Opioid analgesics vary in their strength and in how long the effects last. Other examples of this narcotic are: Lortab; heroin; Dilaudid; Demerol; and OxyContin. Codeine has been around for centuries, used as an alalgesic, antidiarrheal, and antitussive treatment. One of the most prominent side-effects of using codeine is the fact that it causes feelings of calm and euphoria when it is metabolized by the opioid receptors in the brain, into morphine. These feelings are the cause of addiction to codeine.
The purpose of narcotic pain medications such as codeine is for medical prescription to treat certain medical ailments. In the majority of cases, the drug is used according to the doctor’s instructions, and then discontinued when it is no longer needed. However, certain people become addicted to the feelings of pleasure that this type of drug causes, and become hooked on the high. Those who become addicted to codeine often develop a psychological as well as physical dependence on the drug, leading to tolerance. This means that they need increasing amounts of the substance in order to produce the same effects. The addiction can quickly spiral out of control, severely affecting the individual’s life.
Although those who are addicted to narcotics like codeine can often see clearly how the drug has impacted all areas of their lives, they are unable to stop using it. Financial and legal problems are a common result of a person’s codeine supply being cut off.
