My brother has been looking into codeine for his surgery pains, and doses of 120 mg have had hardly noticeable effects. I was wondering if it would be safe for a 150 lb guy to take around 300mg and if it would have any noticeable effects? If this isn't a good dose, what's a good dose range to get the good effects from this drug?

I'm guessing you're talking about the acetaminophen dosage in each pill?

Codeine contains both codeine (ranging from 8-60mg doses) and acetaminophen (up to 400mg? i believe).

This would obviously be something to work out with his doctor but 300mg should be ok.  450 mg is considered the red zone for acetaminophen

I'm talking about codeine, minus the acetaminophen. I know acetaminophen fucks up your liver, which is why there is no acetaminophen mentioned in the topic, as I am aware of it and it is not an issue.

Um...so you're getting straight codeine?  Or are you planning on extracting it...?

I don't see why either, he took half that amount a few weeks ago and didn't feel much, but hadn't done anything since then until the 300mg dose...so that rules out tolerance. A little over 150 lbs isn't that much; I'm stumped about why he needed so much as well.
Needless to say, after he felt the positive effects, he felt extremely sick and itchy, couldn't sleep, piss, shit, and was gagging up mucus despite the extreme cotton mouth. It is possible the acetaminophen wasn't properly removed during the extraction, so this could have resulted in some side effects.
Eventually he kept complaining about extreme stomach pains, and he could hardly move...could this be because of the fact that he hasn't had a bowel movement in a few days? He took an exlax before the codeine and took 1 and a half when he woke up today, but he's still worried about not having a bowel movement yet..

yes not having a bowel movement for a few days is likely to lead to stomach cramps/pain.
