Oh, I felt great, but I paid for it the next day. For the following two days, I could not go to the bathroom. I was constipated. Inside the colon, there are 'opiate receptors'; and when we take opium derived drugs, like heroin or codeine, these receptors focus their attention on the drug and not on what they are supposed to do, which is to handle the waste. So, you get constipated and can't go to the bathroom. I could not take the discomfort of constipation, so I took a laxative. Well, I finally went, but it was about as painful as a childbirth. I cried, and I went. But it hurt; and, to this day, it still stings a bit, each time I go to the bathroom. Stay off codeine. If you must, try something else, but none of the opiates.
