Hello.
I have an extremely high tolerance for Opioids, due to taking a lot of them for pain from my terminal illness. I currently take 200 mcg Fentenyl ER patches, 120 mg of Oxycontin ER, and 16mg three times daily of Hydromorphone. It has been about two months, and I no longer can feel any "rush" feelings from the Oxy (before the pill version of delaudid) and I feel nothing from the 16 mg of delaudid pill form. When I was last in the hospital, via IV, I was on 3mg per hour of Delaudid (highest my doctor would go), and it seemed to do hardly anything, but it take the edge off.
In the past, getting Delaudid would feel like someone hit me in the chest with a sledgehammer, but in a weird good sort of way. The last time I was in the hospital, none of that.
I take the 16 MG of hydromorphone, and it does nothing. No sleepyness, no high feeling, etc.
I have never really wanted to feel "High", but it was a good distraction from the pain. I no longer get any of that now. I guess I am wanting it now, or at least a distraction, from the pain.
Questions: Is that feeling lost forever? Can I take more Hydromorphone and get pain relief? Is there an OD amount that I should be weary of? I can't really ask my doctor these questions, and was hoping I could rely on other peoples experiences who do this on a more recreational level and have ACTUAL experience with this.
Not sure what to do at this point?
Thanks
