What is your guys' schedule for rotating spots?

Do you inject once and switch? I've been taking my basilic? vein on my bicep and doing 4-5 shots going up from the elbow and then i switch to another.

How many spots do you rotate? I have probably 10+ spots on my arms so i don't hit the same spot for about a week.

I normally use 6 spots but I'm currently sticking to 3. I tend to use two of them, letting the third rest up. Then, as the third is recovered, I'll choose one to let rest which needs it the most.

When I normally use 6 spots, I will use a new one each time, and they all normally look fine. If not, I lay off the spot which needs help a few days, and that always does the trick.
 
Ive shot in my feet a few times and it always hurt like a mofo. I'll probably start doing it more in the future but I'm kind of weary of it right now..

Yeah, shooting in your feet can hurt. Not the actual shot - but the liquid rushing through those veins. Its a burning pain isn't it? Almost like a ciric burn.

If someone is going judge me because I shoot drugs I really don't even wanna know them. All of my true friends could care less that I do dope. I'm pretty responsible with it most of the time.


Like your employer?

Its a tough pill to swallow, but most non-using friends will think your a scumbag cunt for being a smackhead. Wether they say this to your face or not. I've had to hide my use for *years* as a result of this.

If you have *no* non-using freinds - then your going to find it very difficult to quit. As all of a sudden - your ALONE.
 
You should *never* just shoot without checking/registering first.

Think there was a misunderstanding... maybe I didn't know what shooting "blind" means.. I didn't mean not registering, I meant, not being able to see the vein.
 
I don't work silly , Im just a druggie

and a Moderator , lol :)

I don't have too many friends , I'm pretty far gone

But the ones I do have I enjoy thouroghly
 
I'm in the same boat - I'm a "mature" student.

This means I get around £4000 to spend 3 times a year. :D

Yeah right, as if I'm going to stick to the sub when I have a bank-balance like that!

As for friends - well, I've found that your using friends aren't really *freinds*. You enjoy the good times together, you feed off each other the rest of the time.

I have only ONE person with an opiate habit that I consider a TRUE freind. One amongst hundreds.

I've always kept my using, and non using sides VERY seperate. Their has been a few hairy moments (like when my smack dealer (who looks like a smack dealer) knocks on the door and one of my housemates ha answered. Luckily I've always quick-thought my way out.

But yeah, be VERY careful with "freinds" who are also smackheads. Seriously.
 
My best friend who is also a heroin addict has fucked me over so many times

But I still love him , we grew up together and I understand that it was just the drugs

Hopefully he won't be such a dick when he get's out of prison
 
The thing is, I've known people who were truly shitty people and they weren't (at least, primarily) heroin addicts.

I think benzo addicts can be worse than heroin addicts, but not necessarily. Overall, I think crack and cocaine are the worst in terms of how the average user becomes "morally f'd" in a sense.
 
OK,think I have missed a (small) shot

May have missed in my wrist.I've heard mixed feelings about IV'ing there but I'm a bigger guy (6-2" 330lbs)
And it's hard as hell to find a good one that's easy to hit.
Once had 3 nurses and the DR try to find a vein in my arm for an IV.
They dug in there really nice.
So I have a small lump on the underside of my wrist and am wondering if I should worry?
Probably just dissolve right? (fingers crossed)
Thanks for the help ya'll.
 
Xanax,I know a big no-no.
Ballpark about .25 mg,maybe a little more.
I did'nt get nearly a 1/3 of it in and backed out.
I seen a guy just mix a whole 2mg bar with water and get blasted.
I did however use a filter.
I know that little bit is nothing to most.But I can take 4-6mg a day oral xanax a day and not get much.
I have little to no tollerance.
THANKS for your help.

Hey now that I think about it.
Just where do the BIG guys on here find their spots?
I've had a buddy in the know find one in the crook of my elbows a few times.
But for the life of me I CAN'T GET IT.
It's like it's a mile inside my arm.
Even after pumping blood through arms and fist and tying off.
Ohh,and I'm using a new insulin needle.
Most probably for the best though.
 
You should be man xanax is not water soulabe so how did you shoot it? id say go to the hospital man you need a proffessional to take a look at that. Also never ever ever IV xanax again.
 
IThe lump is about the size of a quarter.
The needle I used says U-100 1CC.Is this ok for IV?
I don't think I plan to IV anytime soon unless in hands of someone WELL trusted.
 
Yeah unfortunately Dankycodone is right; xanax is not soluable in water so likely you have whatever you shot in your arm. I'm not too skilled on missed shots; I've only missed one shot (heroin) before that produced a very small lump, which went away over the course of a few hours. But that was with dissolved product, not fillers and binders and everything (not to mention the xanax itself). I would say, keep an eye on it, and if it starts turning odd colors or getting worse, or starts hurting you should go to the ER and get it checked out. People have lost limbs due to missed shots and/or muscling drugs.
 
Thanks for the super fast replies.
Any chance it may move up my forearm?
Yes it's a little sore but nothing crazy.
 
Dude I really recomend you go to the ER there not going take you to jail if thats what you are worried about. Xanax is not somthing you want to shoot its full of fillers and binders and only .25mg aloprolzam. Oral bio is so high its just so stupid to bang these and impossible witout polyethylene glycol and even then not worth it at all.
 
I'll give it a couple hours and see how it is.
I just read on another board that a guy got some kind of suction on his rig when trying to register.That's what happened here.So I gave up.
It did register a pale blood,just not the dark blood I've seen before.
So yea,I'M DONE WITH THIS STUPID SHIT!
Thatks for all your help and concern.
I will check back to let ya know how it went.
Thanks again!
 
Does not sound like an arterial shot at all but is a possibility. None of us can tell you for sure thats why I recomened the ER.
