hydromorph better snorted or oral

[Jackie Chan]

I just broke open a capsule of hydromorph contin, crushed the beeds snorted half but now my sinuses are really irrated, i'm sneezing a lot and got snot coming out my nose. Just wondering if I swallowed the rest of the powder wouldit be better or worse than snorting.

I basically mean the effects would it feel stronger or weaker. Thanks

IME, hydromorphone has absolutely zero euphoria when taken orally (unless taking unreasonably high doses). The bioavailability is just too low orally.

Snorting, on the other hand, can give both excellent euphoria and pain relief.

I am not familiar with hydromorph-contin as we don't have that in the united states.

Good luck

I never had good results with either, tbh. Snorting was a waste. Eating was a waste. Never IVed it, which is the way lots of people abuse the drug (apparently it's got one of the strongest rushes of any opiate)

I'm pretty sure people on BL have had major success in plugging it though. If your sinuses are acting up, I'd maybe try that route.

Thanks for the answers, I ended up taking some benadryl and ended up snorting the rest. Last week I ate one 24mg capsule which is extended release, and it left me feeling really good throughout the day (I never crushed the beeds so it was still extended release). It felt close to, but not as strong as taking 40mg oxycodone extended release. I am going to try taking the crushed beeds orally sometime, just to see how it feels but snorting it feels really nice.

Better snorted for euphoria and recreation, but opioids like HM and OM with low oral BA's should just be eaten if you have a prescription. Eventually you will get tolerant to snorted HM/OM, and your doc will not prescribe you higher and higher dosages after a certain point.

If you are a CPP, you are fucking yourself over by ruining your oral tolerance by snorting/IV'ing.

This, 100%. As he said, there's a point in which you'll hit a ceiling and by abusing the medications (by how they're meant to be taken) more harm will be done than good.

Im not a cpp, just take these for severe chronic emotional pain. But you're totally right snorting these a lot does raise your tolerance pretty high.

Indeed. Snorting has a higher bioavailability (see here) but with that comes increased tolerance.
