I have the worst veins ive ever seen.. im sick and ive been IVing Herion everyday for about 3 years.. my Boyfriend hits me because the only vein that works is the one in the side of my neck.. but hes not here and im freakin sick... will IMin heroin even after years of IVing be enough to get me well?
 
BDD -> OD

(They deal more with opiate issues, you'll get good stuff over there!)
 
You can IM Heroin i'm not sure what it does to muscles but if you've already destroyed your veins looks like you're gonna go start destroying your muscles on top.
 
What kind of heroin do you get? Because injecting some may cause irreversible damage.
 
You have used up all the veins in your body. Time to call it quits.

As you have discovered you can't dose yourself and rely on someone else. You can't rely on them to always be there.

You need to check into rehab and get on a maintenance program ASAP.

As others have stated IMing dope is a quick way to get an abscess and lose a limb, or even your life.
 
I know a few people around here who either occasionally or habitually IM dope and according to her she's never had an abscess and been doing it for over a year. The dope around here is super clean..always mixes 100% translucent.

Personally if I was going to switch to IM as a regular ROA for heroin, I would micron filter it. Anything that is not pharmaceutical grade and specifically made for IM injection is not safe unless at the very least micron'd.

If you have tar I would definitely not do it. Actually I kind of remembered this dude donig a 'how to IM tar' post and I was like wtf is this for real? I just googled im tar and it was one of the first results. http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/527413-Black-Tar-Heroin-and-IM-injection

So if you get super clean dope..like so clean it looks filtered even before you actually suck it through the cotton, you could probably get away with a single IM injection without getting an abscess. Use a clean pin, scrub the injection site to clean it really hard with soap and water, filter your shot as good as possible, and depending on the amount of arm fat use ATLEAST a 3/4" pin. Only if you are like super bone thin can you get by with a 1/2". you NEED to inject into teh muscle not just stick the pin wherevery ou want and push down.

Google deltoid muscle. inject there if you are going to IM.
 
Dude.. seriously?

If you can get heroin, I would ASSUME that you could easily get other opiates, i.e. Oxycodone. Like one user said up above, if you're not willing to plug then don't bother. Personally, I don't think the risk is worth trying to IM heroin.

You claim that your intentions of wanting to IM heroin is solely so you won't be sick, so if that's the case... drop the H and go find other opiates! Heroin is an opiate, so if you can score a few Oxy's and you ingest them, or snort them, they will help you in not feeling sick from withdrawal. Don't expect a high if you've been abusing H for 3+ years, but like I said.. they'll help with withdrawal.

I can't help but draw a mental picture of what you look like in my head, and I can't help but say that you've reached a point where you need serious help. Not sure where you live, but if you put down the needle and go to a clinic, they'll help you! Opiate withdrawal isn't anything to joke with, so whoever you go see will make sure you're not sick anymore. But if you go to a clinic and live in Florida, just prepare to be placed in custody and forced into rehab under the Baker Act.
 
^Heroin is easier to obtain in MANY places than pharms. Where I live, for example: right now I could make about 5 different calls and have a different bit of H brought TO me. However, there is only ONE person I can think of that has opiates... and they live about an hour away (the opiate avail? Dillies, or methadone... kind of polar opposites). Point being, for some people H is the only option (besides w/ds, or getting clean).

If you must IM H (assuming, hopefully not tar?) then definitely micron filter it. If you really cannot get a micron and MUST shoot (I know how that is, a needle obsession is hard to shake, an addiction in itself) then filter multiple times. However, plugging would really be a better idea. As would snorting.

I hate to say this, but I was in your spot recently. Really should be an indicator that it's time to change things around. Think about getting off H, and opiates all together. It's a scary thing to ponder. When you run out of veins, though, it IS (a good) time to quit and seek professional help.
 
Yeah same here.. I mean oxy is around but there is not the equivalent of 5 massive city sized open-air flea-markets like there is with dope and coke around NJ.

Not that I use open air anymore but none of my heroin phone connects sell pharms or would even know where to start with tracking some down. I couldn't see pointlessly wasting money on oxy when dope is equally as good if not better (def better IMO) and a fraction of the cost.
 
Like others have said, please do not IM. You'll get reliefe from withdrawal, but you can just smoke it, plug it or sniff it and feel the same relief, without the risk of getting some horrible abscess/infection.
 
i know im'ing isnt ideal, but it isnt that bad. youll definately get well you just have to do a little more to get high, but it will last longer, you dont get the rush but the legs are longer
 
I think a lot of people overlooked something.....

If your veins are SO BAD that you have to resort to HITTING THE VEINS IN YOUR NECK, you REALLY NEED TO GET SOME HELP!

You are literally one hand tremor away from a BIG BIG PROBLEM! One cough, one sneeze while your holding onto a syringe in your neck....need I say more people?

I mean normally I let people do what they do, and try and help and contribute. I could say "You def dont wanna IM heroin, its a future abscess waiting to happen" as everyone else is saying, and as I'd normally say. But damn to read about someone whos so bad that they have to resort to having their BF hit the vein in their neck....god damn. I"m not trying to judge, I'm an addict in treatment myself, but reading this just makes me cringe and I cant help but hope that the OP stops. Although I doubt it :(
 
I had to IV in my neck sometimes when I was heavily strung out. You can do it yourself with a mirror. But, it's not ideal..obviously. Be careful.

Your original question. You're better off snorting, smoking, or plugging than you are IM'ing.. though all 3 will take away your withdrawals.
 
Take some Immodium, its OTC and will stop some aspects of withdrawal. Throw in some OTC sleeping pills and you might be able to sleep through the worst of it without having diarrhea.

Best of luck man :)
 
If your going to do Lopredamine be sure to eat a piece of hole wheat toast COVERED with black pepper on it. This will help some of the drug to cause BBB as it did for me.
