i am new to injeting (dilaudid 8-24mg) and was wondering how this would affect my tolerance? if i do it for awhile and switch back to snorting will i go thru withdrawl? try to snort no more than 40mg but have gone up to 120mg. yeah i know i have high tolerance!
 
It'll give you a much higher tolerance , your getting more of the drug in you by injecting

If you were to switch back to snorting you'll need a higher dose than before

I hear that plugging dilaudid works well , might wanna try that.
 
It will have a very negative reaction on your tolerance, in fact it will probably sky rocket if you use frequently.

if i do it for awhile and switch back to snorting will i go thru withdrawl?

My understanding is that once you switch to injecting, you will not be very likely to go back to snorting :\
 
^ I agree once u start injecting just about anything you won't wanna go back to snorting just cuz ur not gonna get the same effects with the same dose !!

shooting changes the drug into a new high only obtainable through shooting. i do not recommend it unless you feel the need to start a career with needles.

*ends sermon*

to answer your question your tolerance will be blow through the room and snorting it will seem like a waste. where's that dragon? just around the corner, keep if you can catch up ;)
 
yeah pretty much what everyone else said.
once you start shooting up you're tolerance is gonna go up really, really fast.
not only will you probably not snort Dilaudid again, but you'll probably start shooting every other drug you do (if any.)
 
well physiologically, when you inject, more of the drug makes its way into your system (i.e. you avoid first pass metabolism) and you waste less. which essentially you will be able shoot less than you snort.

this serves to increase your tolerance by being able to shoot less than you would usually snort to achieve the same high, which then leaves you with a greater amount of substance and thus more likely to drive your tolerance higher.

also other effects to consider is the rush from injecting can add to the addictiveness of the drug. the rush involved from shooting opiates is something which draws a lot of users into a deeper level of addiction due to the heightened rush.
 
[QUOTE you waste less. which essentially you will be able shoot less than you snort.


i get a fixed # of dilaudid a month so injecting will allow me to use less pills than i snort-yes? i am trying to figure this out so i don't get my self into trouble. but then if i inject on a regular basis i will get a toterance and have to use more pills right? i also get oxy's but i don't want to shoot those (from what i understand its alot more trouble than the d's, i didn't find them hard to shoot) i want to keep those to snort on the days i don't shoot. i know this is getting complicated but the "rush" is pretty intense, therfore addicting ,and i think i have already gone done that slippery slope, i just don't want to slip too fast.

basically what i am trying to do is make the most of what i have.
 
example, just making up the dosages etc.

you get scripted 100mg. usually you have to snort the 100mg to get what you need. when going to injecting, perhaps you will only need to shoot 80mg to get the same effect. soon enough as tolerance builds, you will have to start shooting 90mg, then 95, then up to 100mg where you were to start with.

snorting 100mg obviously isnt enough anymore - to get the same effect as shooting 100mg, you'd have to rail maybe 120mg which you dont have.

if you think about the eventual ending to this story, i could anticipate that you'll start shooting your oxys as well etc.
 
just dont do it my friend... once you start things like that it in itself becomes a habit that i have witnessed take many people to the darker side of drug use and even dare i mention a few deaths.... just think about it seriously
 
Damn! thats what i was afraid of...

thanx for all the replies. and i have thought about it ever since i shot up about 3wks ago it seems to always be in the back of my mind.

i have another ? in the hospital i got 2mg iv prn q20 min on the pca and and i mistakenly thought that a 2mg pill would do the same thing. i known the stuff in the hosp. is pharm. grade - but i have to shoot somewhere between 12- 16mg (pill) to feel that way. whats the deal with that?!

also, are you iving the pill? thats a big part... if not, dont its a slippery slope

i ived several times about 3 weeks ago and omg not only did i have to use way less pills than i do when i was snorting (b/t 10-15 8mg d's compared to 2-3) but the pain relief was incredible and fast and the rush - never really knew what people were talking about and the first 1 or 2x i didn't even know thats what it was (i guesss i was nervous) but then i began to relax and enjoy the sensation it was like my muscles tensed for a second or 2 then my whole body relaxed. but i really when i ived was looking for the relief/highthat came after that happened and still am - though will have to wait a couple wks before can do again. gives me time to really think about it and i do i go back and forth. i know the right thing to do but.....

Sorry, I forgot you were doing pills.

So it's just tolerance that is going to develop really fast.
If you I.V. Hydromorphone, expect the damn near constant re-dosing.

shit! i was doing it once than 2x a day r u saying i would have to redose more? is it because it wears off faster? don't have that many pills. i guess thats where the slippery slope comes in. i think i understand why tolerance will develop - if i iv only sometimes will that keep tolerance from devleoping too fast, is that even possible? thank for your replies, really helpful.

yeah i was afraid i might have to start iving my oxy's. any advice other than not shooting? when my tolerance went thru the roof before i went on subutex for awhile and that brought my tolerance down, but let me tell you it sucked! thanx
 
There is pretty much no other advice that can be given, other than don't shoot.

Tolerance is unavoidable, and (as others have said) shooting WILL skyrocket your tolerance. The amount you need to get the same results WILL go up, and up, and up. Shooting pills can be very detrimental to your health, especially if you're doing it every day and not using micron filters.
