IV no rush?

[LithiumBarbieDoll]

ive been snorting heroin for quite a while, and i decided to IV recently. I know that i did everything the right way, b/c my s/o IV's and he helped me. But suprisingly i got no rush what so ever. why would that happen?

 

[SKL]

#1, you didn't bang enough dope ... the rush is about pushing the envelope, and that's not always a safe thing to do, so you may have made the right decision;

or

#2, you missed and skin-popped instead;

or

#3, you did get the "rush" but it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. some people just aren't all about the rush

 

[s1ck]

i vote for number 1.

skin-popping is really noticable. a missed shot sucks!

You should have got some sort of rush. Did you get high? If you did the only reason why didn't get rush is because you got some old dope but you still should have gotten some sort of rush

i did about a quarter of a bag, just to be safe, everything was done right but i didnt feel anything just a little itchy at the injection site... i also snorted some earlier in the day, could that had effected it?

When you sniff how much of that bag do you do? Whatever you normally do just do half and you should be ok. I personally don't shoot I sniff Im just going by what others have told me

Depending on when you sniffed it might have killed your rush. I find that if I do a shot and then do another shortly after, the second one has little to no rush at all. It's best to wait a few hours at least between dosing IMO.

the amount i do depends, atthe time i think i was doing 2 a day ayt least, but i had assumed that since i had already done some earlier, that that amount would suffice...

 

[SmackCity]

What ever you normally do to get high half of that should be more than enough

i see, i kinda thought that would be it, it kinda ruined my view of IVing , i havent attempted since then, But the more i look into it it seems like the way to go, would it be worth it to start to IV? also, thanks for all of your responses, they have been more than helpful

^ I would never recommend to anyone that they start IV'ing, speaking as an IV drug user myself. It's not a good road to be on, even if in a temporary sense it would more economically viable, in the end it usually bites you in the ass, economically, socially, health-wise, and in every which way. That being said, a junkie who sniffs his dope is still a junkie, and there is such a thing as responsible IV use ... but seriously ... if you are still in the place where you can ask the question, please let the answer be "NO"

thanks for the sound advice. ive always thought if i question something in the first place then its most likely not a good idea.

That is what I was going to say. The rush is always the best with the 1st shot of the day and it gets progressively weaker as the day goes on. If you wait 4 hours, you should get a decent rush. If you wait longer it will be even better.

So if you didn't feel it it is probably because you snorted some too close to when you shot it or the needle slipped out of the vein or through it or somethinglike that. It is easier to tell if that happened when you are hitting yourself, so your SO may have slipped out and you didn't notice.

Im thinking that its probably that i didnt do enough along with having snorted some earlier in the day..but anything is a possibility..

^
Yup. Redosed too quickly or you didn't use enough.

Next time you use, don't use more, just try to wait as long as possible since your last dose, regardless of what ROA you used.

im usually pretty good about re dosing, i know my limit and i never surpass it, i try to wait like 3 to 5 hours mainly b/c i get busy doing something and just forget, lol, also i get an amazing amount of energy from it. like, ill nod for a while, but then i just feel all energized and im able to do things i normally wouldnt have the energy to do. does anyone else get that??

 

[SKL]

^ that's the #4 I was looking for, I knew there was one

1st off:
i usually wait a long time 'till i start moralizations like what im 'bout to say...buuut...

..if you like a drug like you seem to like H, the smartest thing to do is def. NOT to begin IV it. it will suck and it will ruin the pleasure you get out of it today. in fact, im surprised that you still get such a buzz considering you dose every 5 hour. but if yer loosing the buzz, its not your bodys way of saying "IV!", its your bodys way of saying "chill.."

and the reason why you didnt get the rush is so that you can get another chance to stay out.

love.

swim tried IV heroin once after being a hardcore sniffer for almost a year and a half (with breaks, of course, but still wd very easily ) and normally 2.5 bags get swim off and half a bag shot provided no rush whatsoever. but the person doing it for swim would only let him do half a bag (for harm reduction sake), even tho swim wanted to do the full. all it did for swim was make him VERY nauseus(sp?) for about 10 mins (no puking even tho swim was bent over the toilet) oh well. IV is not meant for swim

a rush is dope docking on your receptors. That is what is the 'rush' for us. Now if you shoot to quickly not all the dope can leave the receptors, so there is a smaller ammount of drug docking onto the receptors.

To get the best rush i'd imagine abstaining from opies for a while, and then bang some H. there is you pure, clean rush!

[Edit Reason:] Sorry, the naloxon advice was a terrible idea, and i didn't make my point clear enough, nobody should ever shoot Narcan unless they overdose. period! And even then it's not gonna be nice, most likely hell! careful people! !!
