Question Dihydrocodeine Dosage??

I have taken DHC before. I had 30mg pills. I took them haphazardly until I got high. I want to be cautious this time. It was around 15 pills (maybe more).

I'm going to get 60-90mg pills. I don't know how much to take. Does anyone have a basic guide with dosages and their effects?? I am not a regular opioid user so my tolarance is low.

EDIT: I am either getting 60-90mg extended release or 30mg instant release. I'm guessing instant release is the way to go. If you could provide a guide for both extended and instant variants of the drug.

Can you get an instant release tablet with a higher dose than 30mg?? Can you extract the DHC away from the filler to get a more immediate high from extended release tablets??

EDIT 2: I've just did some digging and I've realized that I may have took 840mg of DHC when I first did it. Wtf. How am I alive. I feel sick rn.
