    Has anyone ever heard of anyone developing an allergy to a drug? I know I've never been allergic to codeine as I've done it many maany times before without any ill effects. Recently however, when I do codeine I experience much less euphoria and much much more nausea. To the point where I usually puke and it doesn't matter what the dose is. Sure, I used to get a bit nauseous if I did a high dose but I could always just lay down and relieve it in a few minutes. Laying down does nothing now. I've also tried diphenhydramine and dimenhydrinate with no help. Does this sound like an allergic reaction to codeine?

    well actually, i developed an allergy to caffeine after a couple years of insane daily ingestion of it. if i drink even a coke, i would be insane for about a week or two, i mean like feeling like your loosing grip or reality and just terrible, terrible things.

    so yeah, it happens, people can develop an allergy to a drug that they could once tolerate

    Well, I dont know about the stomach problems, that could be from damage caused by use, but my girlfriend once took 10mg's of OxyContin and looked like she was going to die! I about took her to the hospital but she came down from it and got back to normal after about 2 hours. She had trouble seeing, staying awake, couldnt breathe almost at all, and she used to be on a doctors order for 8 doses of 5mg's of Oxycodone daily. So you should see why this is strange, especially the bit about her not being able to breahte.
