Normally I may do a point or two max in a day, interspersed with several days of not using at all (but maintaining using high doses of loperamide daily or every other day. I find the imodium to be extremely effective at eliminating basically all withdrawal symptoms when my use is relatively low like that. Even so, a couple days after my high dose Loperamide (usually around 160-200 mg, yes I can still shit and I've done this for months with no apparent detriment) I will start to feel quite sick although minutes relative to how it could be.

Which brings me to my situation now. For the past five to six days, I've gone on a dope binge and have used at a rate of roughly a gram per day, one day slightly more one day slightly less. I move into a new apartment on Thursday and really need to feel as best I can with minimal symptoms and maximum energy. I really doubt loperamide alone will help after using this much. At the best, I'm certain it won't make me feel all better. I do have the following to work with however:

About a point (0.1) of relatively decent H
3 pills of hydromorphone 8 mg each (dilaudid)
Essentially as much loperamide as I need

Based on your guys' experience, is there a way I can cleverly utilize what I have to hopefully taper or otherwise take away the worst of it in time to continue maintenance with lope such that I can function?
I'm unsure at best because dilaudid tends to do very little for me if I'm either already high on it or dope or still have it in my system (even recently doing Lope renders dilaudid useless for me)

Any advice or individual experience would be very much appreciated. thanks!
 
The short answer is no. You have a fairly small amount of short acting dope, and a bunch of lope. The hydromorphone is near useless with a tolerance unless you IV, and it is so hard hitting and short acting that it's almost/possibly worse than heroin.

So the only thing you could really do is use the smallest amount needed to feel better (which will likely still be 'too much' since you have so little to begin with) until you run out. Sorry but you need more to work with really. Also I must say I'm vaguely horrified that someone would take 150mg+ of lope regularly. It may not have done anything noticeable to you yet, but it's a ridiculous amount.
 
You will just have to bite the bullet and go through a few really uncomfortable days. I'm sorry man, but we've all been there. It's the price you pay for fucking around with heroin. To quote "Godfather Part II"- "I said to myself, this is the life we've chosen..." Just have to live with the consequences of the choices you've made. Nobody forced you to take that first hit, or the second, or the 16,000th.
Good luck. It won't last forever, it just feels that way.
