   	People vary widely in their responses to drugs of all sorts.   
   	Opiates are ok for killing pain but constipate.   I use   
   them when I know pain is at hand or when I otherwise need them   
   to think clearly while in pain.  But Codeine is a light weight   
   painkiller unless you chose to make a habit of it.  But your response   
   to the initial dose seems exaggerated.  These are legal drugs and   
   only legal versions should be used for pain relief.   Illegal   
   opiates are not supplied in reliable dosage or even reliably   
   labeled.   
   	That alone is enough reason for a retired nurse to   
   leave them alone.  Red Devils should have been some barbituate   
   and Yellow Jackets another,   These were widely used in the   
   1950s for people with sleeping problems but are also used   
   by certain people for a non-alcoholic stupor (like being   
   drunk).
