> Your absence of withdrawal leads me to believe that perhaps your 2D6 enzyme (the enzyme in question) doesn't work at all, and you got a pure codeine effect. If I'm not mistaken, oxycodone also is activated by that same enzyme. (Have I got that right, ed?) Total dysfunction of 2D6 might happen in 0.1 to 1% of people.
Oxycodone's effects are due to the parent drug, not metabolites. It only took me twenty seconds to check. (Note to self: Check references before posting.)

P.S. That leaves me more baffled than before.
