So I made my 2nd attempt at IV amphetamine just now. First thing I did is find that big vein in the elbow pit, I tied a strap then put the needle without syringe into it and blood started shooting out so I assumed I was in a vein. It was so messy (my clothes are covered in blood lol), I had to pull the needle out then I attached the syringe, went back into the same spot and injected about 10 mg of amphetamine slowly. I felt nothing. It was a 1 mL syringe so I had to load it up 3 times to inject a total of 25 mg. My last attempt was the worst, I went into a vein and once blood started shooting out, I attached the syringe and didn't go in any deeper. I injected slowly. Immediately after, a big lump appeared around the area I injected.
This lump can't be an infection since it appeared in seconds so I assume I missed the vein and the lump is actually the solution. If thats the case, will the amphetamine still get absorbed? Is this like a subcutaneous injection? I forgot to take the strap off when injecting, hope this doesn't mean I might have burst a blood vessel. It doesn't hurt at all.
I tried about 10 times to get into a vein, I'd stick the needle in and pull back the syringe to see if blood came out but every time, all that came out was air. Don't know what I'm doing wrong, maybe I'm not going in deep enough, I've been sticking the needle in horizontally. Should you inject more vertically when first puncturing the vein? I notice that doctors and nurses stick the needle in all the way. I've only been inserting it about 1/3 of the way. Is there an advantage to inserting the needle deep into the vein like that?
