'''Dihydrocodeine''' is a semi-synthetic [[opioid]] [[analgesic]] prescribed for pain, severe shortness of breath, or as an [[antitussive]] (either alone or compounded with paracetamol or aspirin). It was developed in Germany in 1908 and first marketed in 1911.<ref>http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qoyYobgX0uwC&pg=PA404&lpg=PA404&dq=dihydrocodeine+1908+1911&source=bl&ots=Y7ALb1Yqjo&sig=FIkb3K4UwiXhn8LeO2EzXgxOGQk&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-mq9UsT5J4a10QXT0ID4CQ&ved=0CEQQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=dihydrocodeine%201908%201911&f=false</ref> | '''Dihydrocodeine''' is a semi-synthetic [[opioid]] [[analgesic]] prescribed for pain, severe shortness of breath, or as an [[antitussive]] (either alone or compounded with paracetamol or aspirin).

The listed effects will rarely (if ever) occur all at once, but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects. | The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]].

*'''[[Effect::Pain relief]]''' - This component is subjectively different from other anaesthetics as it does not necessarily remove the pain entirely whilst still remaining equal in terms of its effectiveness. Instead of directly suppressing pain, these substances simply dull the perceived sensation and cover it up with feelings of physical and emotional pleasure. | *'''[[Effect::Pain relief]]''' - This component is subjectively different from other anaesthetics as it does not necessarily remove the pain entirely whilst still remaining equal in terms of its effectiveness.

*'''[[Effect::Physical euphoria|Euphoria]]''' - This particular substance can be considered as less intense in its physical euphoria when compared with that of [[morphine]] or [[diacetylmorphine]] (heroin) due to the upper limit of how much can be converted into its active form through metabolism. The sensation itself can be described as extreme feelings of hyper intense physical comfort, snugglyness, warmth and physical blissful euphoria which emanates throughout the body. | *'''[[Effect::Physical euphoria|Euphoria]]''' - This particular substance can be considered as less intense in its physical euphoria when compared with that of [[morphine]] or [[diacetylmorphine]] (heroin) due to the upper limit of how much can be converted into its active form through metabolism.
