Im thinking of picking up a hydromorph for tonight but Ive never done this before. I have some experience with opiates, usually using once or twice a week, but I wouldnt say I have that high a tolerance. I usually shoot a point of h or sniff 120-160mg of oxy in a sitting. So if anyone could help me out with an appropriate equivalent dose I would be eternally grateful. Also what would be the best ROA? I dont feel like shooting up tonight and I dont want to get totally fucked up, just have a nice buzz to get some work done on. Im thinking of plugging or snorting, but I dont know what would work better. Suggestions are much appreciated.
 
Plugging and snorting both work well. IIRC, plugging is more effective than snorting.

Hydromorphone is considerably more potent than oxycodone. IV, 120mg oxycodone is equal to about 9mg-10mg hydromorphone. Orally, 120mg oxycodone is equal to about 45mg of hydromorphone...but hydromorphone has extremely low oral BA so don't try and plug 45mg of hydromorphone, its way too much. In fact, oral hydromorphone has never worked for me at all.

Since this is a basic dosing question I'm going to move it on over to Basic Drug Discussion for you. I'm about to run out the door so I can't do the plugging/snorting conversion for dosage off the top of my head but I'm sure somebody will chime in soon :)
