I suppose
it may have been one of the paracetemol/codeine combos but to get enough codeine requires fairly lethal paracetemol levels. (Unless you do a cold water extraction.)

used to have quite the romance with codeine (30 - 40 prescription strength a week)
and 390mg (13 30mg/500mg Co-Codamol, just shy of where you reach the upper limit of 400mg where metabolisation stops - my body is a trooper capable of massive feats of endurance if you're wondering about 5.5g of Paracetamol), whilst extremely fun - if you consider being unable to move, incredible nausea and cold sweats a good time - never caused any kind of hallucination, unless you include crawling skin which I'd say was more a physiological rather than psychedelic effect.

Although I suppose a combination of the severely fucked-up mindset brought about by opiates, crawling/ itchy skin and feverish hallucination could produce these effects.

Not that I'm a drugs geek... By the way, CWEs are for women and homos... Liver damage kicks arse

the skin crawling
is a histamine reaction. Quit a common codeine side effect. Worth having some OTC antihistamines to hand if you go down that route.

Itchy skin is pretty common for opiates generally.
Skin irritation, constipation and a complete lack of any connection to the rest of the world seems to be the common thread for opiate abuse.
