Opioids IV/Missing Question Related

[Diloadid]

I was wondering, because I couldn't get an accurate answer from the forum search, but when I first started IV'ing I missed myself left and right (because I was using glass needles that were too large for my hands); I don't know if missing IV injection causes the term IV to become IM, but when I missed shots I felt like the medicine/dope still got in my system slowly, I was just curious if these missed injections prolonged wd/dt time?

Sorry my thoughts are so scatter brained.

If im not mistaken this is essentially skin popping; which -correct me if im wrong- like you said will be absorbed much more slowly than IV.

Missing a shot typically isnt a good thing. Some of the drug will probably find a muscle and soak in, but not all of it. IM has to be done in a muscle and i mean IN not on the very top of it or just under the surface. So no, its not considered IM. They might prolong it a little, but missed shots are dangerous. You do not want an abscess, so make sure you have the right tools, and are sure you are where you want to be.

Like I said this was a while back haha, I know the woes of an abscess... sadly.

At the time I used these glass syringes that were very large, and difficult for me to effectively pull back on, which led to me missing IV a few times. I quickly learned to not miss w/ morphine injections :D, I don't really even mess with morphine much anymore due to the aforementioned incident.

I was just curious because I remember dt's not being as bad sometimes after I missed.. Didn't know if there was a link. I might as well fess up too, I missed earlier (roxi30mg), stirred up some curiosity.

Pills are the worst thing to miss with though, because of the binders. Depending on how well you do extraction depends on the level of danger of missing. You probably will get some of the drug regardless thats probably why things were delayed / not as bad.

Yeah, I don't like injecting pills, sometimes it happens though. I'm sure i'm no Picasso of extracting pills, but I try. lol

I'm going to try the Iso alcohol method in a few days, im not really good at extracting either lol.

Missed shots are basically IM/SC injections. They don't onset anywhere near as fast as IV shots and can lead to infected abscesses.

**rubbing vitamin E on misses will promote healing much, much much faster I've experienced.
I've missed myself and have had to suffer a terrible amount of misses..most of them being other's attempts at hitting me and due to small constricted veins, a side effect from doing meth any way, it was hard as hell to hit me before realizing I was too dehydrated to even think about such a thing. I went to jail with a good amount of abscessing oxy in my arm, my friend missed in a tendon in my hand and I had a lump there for a year, I've hit nerves..... soaking in epsom salts + + antibiotic ointment + hot compress + good anti inflammatory med. + massaging lightly as well as the aforementioned vitamin E has shown great improvement within just the next day.
