So this is my plan for the day. I ripped an 8mg (all in one and then ended up puking cuz im an idiot and didnt have water handy..ugh) and in about 6 hours i wanna come home and shoot a full 8.

I've only iv'd hydromorphone once before, and it was ~4mg of extended release hydro. I think i lost some of the drug while filtering it. When i did this, the rush that hit me by the time i pulled the needle out was quite intense, very similar to that of ripping a full 8 at one time. (what i'm currently experiencing), but after 15 minutes the rush was gone and it was just a weak high.

I just wanna make sure im not gonna OD by doing a full 8 in one shot. I mean, if i sniff a full 8 to feel good, and i want to feel slightly better, injecting roughly ~4-5mg would create the same effect right? But i wanna feel really good and intense for the first time.

Anyway i'm just making my question sound more complicated than it really is,
if sniffing 8mg gets me feeling good and gives slight nods, will slamming a full 8 be too much?

thank you bluelight and your harm reductivness. You guys are great <3
 
If insufflating 8mg makes you puke, I probably wouldn't recommend banging the same amount. However your tolerance would have most likely raised as you are redosing on the same day.

I'll chuck this over to OD, you'll get better advice there.
 
According to an online narcotics conversion program, 8mg of hydromorphone (oral) is equivalent to roughly .96mg IM/IV.

So as a ROUGH guide, if 8mg insufflated makes you puke and quite high, banging a full 8mg may be too much.

I would personally start with maybe 4mg, and see where that gets you. The duration is so short, anyways, that you can always try again a few hours later if it wasn't quite enough.

Remember, you can always take more, but you can't undo it once you've taken it.
 
the only reason i asked about doing 8 is because the ~4mg i slammed before didn't do much.

I just met up with the buddy and he asked if i wanted his second shot, so i took it. I was really shaky and he was watching me struggle so he said he'd do it, but i insisted i do it instead. However he convinced me he knew what he was doing more than i did so i let him do the shot.

Well he missed probably 1/4 of it and now my arm is swollen and very tender and hurts and now i'm scared to even shoot up anything. No bruising, only minor swelling, but noticeable dull pain.

What exactly happens when you miss a shot and what can come from it?

I currently have two needles. One of them i only used once, and that was from my first shot. Since then it's been sterilised and re-capped. Then i have an un-used one. I know you shouldn't re-use but if the one needle was only used once i'm sure it's still good right? Considering if you miss the vein you gotta pull out and put back in so the needle must be in good condition.. And i got it with the first try on the used needle so it's literally only been in my arm one time.

the lump from the missed shot is about the size of a quarter.
 
OP: start very fucking low.
When I was IVing daily, 4mg of hydromorphone would black me out pretty easily, and it's a very short lived experience, but killer (in more than one way).
Hell ya I miss it.
 
Bang 4 mg. 8 mg IV'ed would be too much for you IMO if 8 insufflated makes you sick. See where 4 gets you, should be perfect, you can always IV more if you want.
 
You can plug it with an oral syringe.
They are 100% OTC at every drug store.
Plugging hydromorphone is a hassle though, since the effects wear off so quickly, and the effects take longer to come on than snorting even. It sure as hell beats snorting them, if you only have a few pills.
 
I like the high of dillies when sniffed, why don't you stick to that?

If 8mg sniffed makes you puke, why do you want to shoot it? It already sounds like you have a very WEAK tolerance, I'd be careful shooting 2mg of it...

I mean, I can sniff a good 30-60mg of and be cool, but Id be weary shooting 2mg of it. I mostly leave the needles to the doctors and practiced professionals.

Remmeber, if that 4mg was a ER pill (hydromorph contin) theres a huge possibility you didnt get all of the drug while prepping the first time. Start low if you got the actual D pills, cuz youll get it all in those..and from the sounds of it youll be able to get more if the 2mg dosent RUSH you as good as you wanna be RUSHED...Oh, and dont re use needles..never.
 
I just shot brand named Dilaudid 8mg (sniffed the smaller half).

Atleast 4mg was in the syringe. I failed and missed the vein so many times. I even added a little bit to the miss fuck =[ But finally after some yelling and cussing i managed to chill out long enough to get the needle in. It took so long cuz i fucked up and accidentally bent the needle slightly. Right from the base where the tip connects to the base of the syringe. Then since i kept sucking in blood and then slipping out of my vein, the entire solution was red so i had no idea if i was sucking in blood or not. But finally i did, and i didn't miss anymore than 10 units (1cc)

and it wasn't all that intense.

BY THE WAY you guys are TOTALLY misinterpreting what i mean by 'i puked off of sniffing 8mg'. I'm not saying i puked cuz i was so high (i was barely even nodding) im just saying the powder went straight to the back of my throat and made me gag.
 
thats the thing is no - i cant i dont have more needles.

Even though it's recommended to use a new needle every time, using it twice really won't cause any problems. I remember reading that hydromorphone is 4 times stronger when IV'd and I can attest that IMO hydromorphone is worthless any other way. If 8mg snorted makes you puke then you will most defiantly get sick as hell if you IV the whole 8mg and you won't enjoy it. Like everyone else is saying, do 4mg... maybe even 2mg to be on the safe side.

Also, you're right about possibly loosing some in the extended release kind. Almost all ER pills (except maybe the old Oxycontins) suck for IVing and you will most likely loose some in the process. If what you have now is instant release hydromorphone, I can tell you those pills are clean as hell and you shouldn't loose any at all. I used to be on those pills IVing them 3 times a day... cleanest pills to IV I've ever done by far and I've never seen someone with little to no tollerance not get an awesome rush from a 4mg shot.

i took it as your were so high you puked....in this case i would do 6mg.....should have you feeling pretty good you just have to understand that dilaudid is really only good for the initial bang...not the high.
 
Holy shit, sniffing 12mg of Dilauded got me high for all of ten minutes. And my opiate tolerance is on the low end of moderate.

You were up for 4-6 hours? How is that possible. I'm jealous.

For whatever the reason may be, snorting hydromorphone does next to nothing for me. I went through an entire prescription of that stuff and couldn't even tell you what the drug really feels like, because I hardly ever felt it.
