Time in between shots of heroin.

[Lechium]

I was just wondering how long you typically wait between shots. Furthermore, is that amount of time long enough for you to feel a good rush again. What is the shortest time you've been able to wait and still get a good rush from doing the normal amount you typically would use in a shot?

I recently started to IV it ( I get tar here in CA and normally would smoke it) and I am very impatient and would like to know what the shortest amount of in between shots is that would still give a good rush. I was thinking of waiting about 2 hrs.

I was also wondering if there is a difference in how long you have to wait in order to feel a good rush if you take a shot and miss (if you miss and don't even get a rush) as opposed to taking a shot and hitting it dead on, getting a rush, and then waiting for the next shot.


Mods - Could this question possibly be made into a poll? For example:

a) < 30 min
b) 30 min - 1 hr
C) 1 hr - 1.5 hrs
d) 1.5 hrs - 2 hrs
e) 2 hrs - 2.5 hrs
f) 2.5 hrs - 3 hrs
g) 3 hrs - 5 hrs
h) > 5 hrs

(If anyone has a better suggestion for a poll template feel free to post. )

Thanks for your replies.

I only got one really good rush a day . All the other ones weren't any where as good. Id wait about 8 hours to get a real good one and double my dose. I would much rather shoot 5 bags at once then 5 through out the day and only shoot once. I dont recommend anybody try that without a hell of a tolerance. I was going through multiple bundles a day when i was making shots like that.

Yea it's definitely hard, if not impossible, to match/beat that first shot of the day. The other day though, I had a decent rush from a shot then waited probably only an hour if not less and had another one that was a little bit bigger-- I believe-- and I got an even better rush.

From the little experience I have so far it seems that if you want to get a good rush without uping the dose a bunch then you should wait about 2.5-5 hrs.

Anymore input anyone?

3 hours minimum IMO. You don't want to dose too soon for a number of reasons, primarily because the chance of overdose increases. My closest call with an OD happened when I did a few shots over the course of a few hours. Even though they were "small" doses, it builds up in your system if you don't give it time to go away. Heroin has a very short half life so it pays to be patient.

Plus, the longer you wait to redose the more you'll be craving it. The more you crave it, the better the high.

I've noticed that it depends on the quality of the dope as well.

For example:

With good dope I could shoot more often and still rush decently(Nothing like the first one of the day).

With somewhat shittier dope I'd have to wait longer and possibly up my dose.

BTW, nice user name. Dredg is fucking awesome.

Ive found that the first shot of the day is always the best in terms of rush and duration. The rest of the day i would just dose when i needed to, or if i had enough $ or dope to sit around all day and do big shots and be fucked up. I would usually do one when i woke up, then another 4-6 hours later, then another 4-6 hours later, then another 4-6 hours later and so on.

My tolerance is really startin to kick my ass right now. I can't get a rush out of 2 bag shots anymore but yeseterday i dosed with 2-2-1 .. most i've ever done in a day. And by the time i had to drove home my nod was goin... fack. If bags were 10 a piece i'd be fine but at 25 a pop this habit is coming to an end soon.

That's the way to do it

I would wait 4, maybe 8 hours in between lines or shots. It's easier to go longer when you have other drugs to use as well.

Even if the rush of the H dies down about 1 and a half to 2 hours into the high, I still wait a full 4, maybe 6 minimum because otherwise you need more to get the same rush. I prefer the original rush without having to use more, because I didn't feel comfortable doing big shots all at once, I liked doing tiny bits with a lower tolerance and prepping a 2nd if I needed it. I got a few good shots where the rush is pretty great for the first 10 or so minutes and then you settle into the high a bit...that's pretty euphoric but I didn't use heroin to get high all day and sit around waiting to get my high on again, I did it because I had a lot to do and it seemed to motivate me in all areas of my life pretty well, and it kept me on a regular sleeping schedule, something no other drug has done for me yet.

 

[Spacedementia897]

When I didn't do big shots for whatever reason it would usually be around 5 or 6 hours until we attempted again. The rush isn't as great as the first but it was still there. Nothing annoyed me more than not getting a rush.

I totally agree and this would explain what happened the last 2 days. Two days ago I went out of town and met with someone off opiophile who hooked me and my friend up with a new connect. The stuff was a bit better in quality than what I normally get. I had smoked a little then got some rigs and about half an hour later I had a shot with a decent rush. We kicked it, ate, and I smoked a little too. Soon after (probably wasn't even an hour after the last shot (but close to it)) I took another shot which gave me a much better rush than the one prior. I had even smoked some dope in between the shots and still got a great rush, granted the 2nd shot was a tiny bit bigger than the first.
This day lead me to believe that as long as I wait an hour to two in between shots I will still get a good rush every single time. However, yesterday I woke up and finished off the bag I had got the day before-- I had gotten the best rush I have ever had (until the last shot I had ). About 3-4 hours later I had proceeded to my normal dealers house and got some of the stuff I usually get. I took a shot and barely felt a rush (thought I also missed probably a sixth of it). Later on the day I took shots at about 2 hours in between each one witht he last one about 3-3.5 hrs in between and I got a little rush but nowhere near half as good as the one I got that morning. Basically, I had been chasing that dragon all day long that I had cuddled up with so close and tenderly to that morning.

So this makes me believe that quality of the dope has a lot to do with whether or not you can get a good rush more than once a day.

What's strange is that the better stuff I got wasn't that much noticeably better than my normal stuff when smoked. Also, if I take a shot of the dope I normally get it gives me just as good of a rush as the better stuff-- in fact, this morning (herm, afternoon that is, around 3pm (these days, my dealer doesn't wake up till 2-3pm because he stays up all night doing coke ! )) I got the best rush I've ever had (granted my last shot before this one was at around 7pm the night before) so I was already feeling pretty shitty.

Now, I got enough for a few shots left, and I had smoked a small snap shortly after the shot I had, and once again am faced with the dilemma of when to take another. I feel my best bet is to hold off on taking one till around 6:30-7pm which will be a good 3-4 hours since the last one and right before the NA meeting I'm most likely going to with my friend. Hopefully, with that much of a wait I will get a great rush and then save the last of my shit for tomorrow morning, so I don't have to wait around withdrawing till about 3pm like I was stuck doing today. Hopefully, this way will work out well, and it will also be good because then I will only be having 2-3 shots a day which won't take a toll on my arms and veins as quickly. If I really start fiending bad between the shots I'll simply smoke a tiny snap to keep me happy.


WOW- I wrote quite a lot...something tells me most of you guys won't even read it all ah well.

BTW, nice user name. Dredg is fucking awesome.

Yes dredg is an amazing band, their older cds, Leitmotif and El Cielo are other-worldly, especially when listening to them on psychedelics like shrooms. Dredg has got to be one of my number-1-shrooming bands-- El Cielo definitely being the best cd for it. %)

yea it is a bit hypocritical but it helps gets me in the mind-set to get clean and I do plan on quitting and going on suboxone the day after tomorrow, so I think a meeting will still do me some good.

 

[svacheme3]

For normal doses that you just take to be normal for the day, I have to wait at least 5 hours before it's worth it to shoot up again.

For party doses that get a good nod going, I can't get a good rush for 8-16 hours depending how fucked up I was from the last shot.

This same time frame applies both with heroin and oxycodone for me.

 

[rollontheground]

anyone ever consider they mite be getting fentanyl when theyr not rushing as much as ussual? idk im just on the east coast and neone who clicked on heroin on erowid last year would know bout the all the fentanyl that was comming around here...sometimes when im not getting that rush thats what i think...

 

[Lechium]

Well I took my shot at 6:45ish which was a good 3.5-4 hrs after my first one and unfortunately didn't get much of a rush, granted I could have done more-- it was probably about the same amount if not a little less than I did this afternoon. So I guess that to get a good rush I would have to wait even longer...what a burn. I was definitely nodding a bit at the NA meeting though, had to gobble down some coffee to wake my ass up.

Fentanyl gives a strong rush too, just as good as heroin.

 

[MCMG]

On the other hand, the gel in fentanyl is extremely toxic. Even for someone with tolerance I would suggest eating it instead of shooting it or even smoking it. I read its 80X stronger then morphine, don't know if thats true or not.

 

[BadHabbit]

Yes we were getting some killer fentanyl cut dope last year down here... a few of my buddies got the shit had not heard about it being around and wound up knoddin for a few hours lol... as per dosing depending upon the level of your tolerance, how much dope you have, and how good it is, depends on how often you should spike up... i know i can go 8 hours between shots and be a lil Ill when i take my next one and get a full blown rush, but the avg wait time should be atleast 4 hours otherwise youre not giving the first shot time to get out of your system which could lead to a potentially deadly situation IMHO.
