Whoa- are you serious? Codeine, as vicodine, had very, very little effect for my post-gum surgery pain-even when I doubled up on it- and I was using zoloft (monotherapy) at the time! I wonder if that's why? Quintal, you might have just solved a mystery or two which have bugged me for several years. Do you know if it goes the other way, too- ie, could codeine render an ssri ineffective, or at least mess around with its actions? I sunk into a really horrific depression immediately after that surgery, and ssris conked out for me for good around that time, too.> That's true. Codeine is metabolized to morphine by the liver and it has little or no analgesic action if taken with drugs that block the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6 such as Prozac and Celexa. One of natures most effective antidepressants IMHO.
