The beads are always crushed into a very fine powder before insufating. Twenty four to 36 mg is a usual dosage for me. once in a while i seem to go nuts and crush up 8 or 9, 12mg pills which would be about 96 to108 mg and snort it all. Does not really seem worth it as all it seems to do is bring on the nods alot harder and not much mor euphoria. have been off my dillies for about three weeks now and am hoping to never go back. Was taking them for pain, and oraly they are not effective at all. I build tolerance to all oppiates very quickly. Still having some withdrawls and dopesickness which really sucks, but the pain is getting so horrific i might have to back on something, just hope its not hydromorph, i love it but i hate it. Just wondered if anyone else gets tolerance up to the 90mg to110mg range. I have crushed up 8 or 9 and plugged them on many occassions as well. Vomiting has occurred a few times which might indicate i went over my tolerance and was in od range. I am hoping i can find something that works for the pain and that i can manage without being a jackass sometimes.
