So last night I did a nice sized shot of dilaudid (hydro morphone) and typically when I do a shot when I'm sick and have not 're dosed for a long time I get a much stronger rush and increased euphoria after injection.

However last night I did the shot and I didn't miss a single unit and even though I noticed my withdrawals dissipate - I felt LITERALLY no rush.

I'm currently going through a lot of stress and severe depression and I have been for a long time. However last night was the only time I've never noticed any immediate effects from the opioid (unless I was 're dosing too soon), but I was withdrawaling so normally I get a strong rush.

What happened? Did my brain not have any dopamine our serotonin to release? I've searched Google for over an hour and a half now with no answer (I'm not even quite sure what to type), so any response would help and 've appreciated.

Also - I injected directly after the first shot and felt a very minor rush. This morning when I woke up I did only 1/4 of the dose that I did last night except this.morning I felt a good/medium strength rush.
 
I don't know man, I've had the same thing happen after not shooting up anything for weeks...shots that should have left me gasping. I banged about eight of em and eventually got high as fuck but yeah no rush. I don't have any information, just letting you know you're not the only one and not crazy....
 
It's just I believe I'm currently suffering through the most severe depression I believe to have gone through. I've had only one real suicide attempt, but after that I decided to look at life differently and selflessly so I've changed my outlook towards living and committing suicide. But fur the past two weeks I've been relentlessly thinking of suicide and two nights ago had planned to do it the next day. I'm glad I have myself the 24 hours before going through with anything - as I believe one again I've made the right decision by choosing to (suffer and continue to) live.

I've been going through the worst anxiety ever as well and have been unable to sleep or even speak properly. My mind is never focused on anything but the negativity that's manifested itself in my reality.

I figured that maybe the reason I didn't feel any euphoria or dopamine/endorphins being released was likely due to lack of serotonin and other chemicals in my brain
