    Check out the page called Opiate Comparison and do your calculations from that chart. Basic math skills needed haha.

    The conversion is: 50mg Codeine PO = 5mg Hydrocodone PO
    -PO means oral tablet administration
    I have seen the conversion as generous as 30mg Codeine=5mg Hydrocodone, but I really don't find that accurate in real life.

    Have you ever actually tried this?? I couldn't imagine how one would dose this properly, as there would be miniscule crossing of the BBB even with the Prilosec. I have serious doubts when I hear people doing this. But, I am interested nonetheless.
