I am hoping for some good replies that might help me out. Long story short, I've done EVERY opiate/opioid under the sun except for raw opium and heroin. Have been using on and off for 20 years, with a preference for hydromorphone / morphine (can't stand fentanyl and don't even consider it a true opiate/opioid... no rush).
So, snorting has been my main ROA but I have IM'd a few times and enjoyed the onset of a nice slow rush. After being SO successful with IM, literally mastering it because you couldn't even tell that I do inject. I hit the muscles just right with little bruising and no swelling. Do I sound like I have an ego? Well I eventually ate humble pie because I decided it's IV time.
I desolved 6mg instant release hydromorphone into some filtered water (didn't cook...obviously). After stirring for a bit and letting the gunk fall to the bottom, I used a small piece of a regular cotton filter to suck it up into my syringe. I have a health science background so I found my vein super fast, plus I'm a lady who likes to workout so my veins do pop. I pull back and as my blood mixes with my solution I start to inject. I pulled the needle out and a few moments later I thought I was going to die!!
It lasted for 3 minutes or less but those 3 minutes were hell. I couldn't breathe and my heart rate got JACKED! Not sure what went wrong because this never happened when I got IV in hospital (granted they give .5mg IV as opposed to 6 mg). Also, IM was always so smooth! I got a nice slow onset of a rush, way quicker than snorting but not as fast as IV - it was nice. For the record I ALWAYS make sure there are no air bubbles, and I used this method for IM as well and my solutions were pretty clear (no sediments floating about).
So my question in short to the experienced with this: What is your theory? Where did I go wrong? If this in fact the dilaudid rush everyone is talking about, like dropping off a roller coaster... I DID NOT LIKE IT! This has terrified me from ever IV'ing again! Thanks, all.
