Hi guys im just wondering if anyone else has the urge to redose IV opiates as much as i do. I sometimes redose in as little as 3 hours. I try my hardest not to, for example if i do a shot at 12AM and at 3am get ready for bed and prep a shot for the morning i end up just doing the shot right away :\ i know thats wasteful but i sometimes cant help myself =D anyways i only use opiates about once every few weeks at the least and once a week the most (in 1 or 2 day binges). Just curious if anyone else has this problem. Also im sure that would change and i would use more sparingly if i had withdrawal symptoms but i dont use often enough to experience them. I always image in my head a perfect state of mind i always try to accomplish which i only get on my first dose of the day.
 
Ya, I often dose even more frequently than you do.. ( if I have the dope I sometimes will dose once every hour until I feel satisfied) Like you stated above, this is very wasteful, though, it will still get you more high....

So ya, you're not alone dude.. ha, I consider myself one of the most craving addicts I know, which sucks, but it's true, I've been there.
 
Yes...

Hah. Trust me, man.. you're not alone in this one. Many of us have that issue. It's much worse with IV stimulants, but it is still present with opiates.. particularly once your body is pretty used to them and a normal shot doesn't last you as long anymore.

Also, it depends what you want out of your opiates. If you're a big fan of the rush and if that's why you do dope (like it is for myself) the compulsion to re-dose is stronger as you want to get that rush back.

Just make sure you try and force yourself to take as long of a break in between shots as possible. It's safer and it intensifies the high when you do decide to do it again.
 
I never iv, just oral,
But I am pretty sure when you found an unlimit source,
You will find out what is like to be in hell...
 
I don't really get a compulsive urge to redose with opiates. I find it doesn't add that much, I will just get more warm and sedated but there will be no rush to speak of. It sucks when you end up doing less than you want at the first shot though, the second will never be as good as the first.

Been there, done that, will do again.

Agree, only the first dose hit me hard, I always force myself to stop wasting for redose and save it for tomorrow, but I just can't stop thinking about it...shit

:( Unless there's a serious risk of running out and getting sick I'll redose every 30 minutes or so, once the primary effects have worn off, until I'm unconscious/unable to do it again. sadly the only time I ever conserve is if I have no idea where my next dose is coming from; even then, not always.
 
Yessir, i think a lot of folks have this problem. I know this isn't an option for a lot of people, but try to only cop what you want to use that day. I've started to do this more often lately, since my nasty habit of using whatever the hell is in front of me has been getting worse, and more dangerous since the more often i cave in to this behavior, the larger the doses involved. Like most I crave the initial rush. The problem is, nothing beats the first high of the day. My body needs a full night of sleep to reset. But, being the junkie I am, i often try to cheat. If .2 gets me off in the morning, I know that to compete with that rush i'll have to use .4 or more later on, and so on. And I may be a junkie but I'm not stupid, and I know that is some seriously dangerous territory to dip in to. But to further eliminate temptation I'll just try to cop whatever I want to use that day and nothing more. But if thats not an option I'll bag up my daily doses and hide them from myself. Anything to make myself stop and second guess myself.
 
^ Good point by Mr.Scag. Just as long as you remain aware of your tolerance and don't try and push that first dose so far that it might land you in danger territory. But I have been really trying to do this lately. Especially when I buy a new amount of H, I will make my first dose from the purchase enough so that I can put it away and go about my day for at least 8 hours or so. Going on this, I try and keep my H at home but at the same time not be at home as much as possible. It's much easier to resist the urge to redose if the mother supply isn't within reaching distance (though occasionally I'll end up taking a break to stop back home and do a bit...and then a bit more after I realise that it didn't cut it). Granted I'll keep a dime on me at all times for emergency sickness-prevention, but a dime doesn't do shit in terms of getting me high these days.

I like to buy early in the morning and shortly thereafter have a big dose, and then leave it at home and get out of the apartment nearly all day without enough money to stop and get more. So when I come home I can do another dose (again, big enough so that I don't want to chase it) and fall asleep before I actually feel like that dose is significantly letting up. I think that gravitating toward the two large doses - one an hour or two after waking up and the other about 5 hours before bed - works best for me if I want to prevent incessant redosing and/or chasing my highs.

The urge to redose is worst when I try and taper my H habit down strictly with H alone, decreasing and/or spreading out doses to step it down as painless as possible. Takes tons of will-power, and weeks of hard work can be ruined so quickly by a bit of innocent chasing turning into an extra gram finding its way into me by the end of the day...thus back to square one :\

Boy do I hear ya brother. I always give in to my cravings when I have plenty of dope on hand and I always end up regretting it lol. To me personally it doesn't add to the euphoria at all it just adds to the sedation so I just end up sleepier than before I did the shot, total waste of dope imo. Perfect example of this was last night, I had a quarter gram left of my stash and I was going to to try my hardest to save it for the morning. I ended up getting out of bed at like 1:30am and doing the extra shot which was a total waste because I just went straight to bed, if I saved it I could have had a killer rush in the morning.
 
The thing is....I got at least a month supply at my ROOM....ALL THE TIME
How can I stop thinking about it!!!!
 
I allllways have the urge to redose. Generally, as soon as I score I do a shot, then immediately start prepping the next shot. I try to ration it out, etc, but I feel like the whole practice of the preparation of the shot is pretty addictive in and of itself.
 
god glad im not the only one. lately its really been bugging me, because Im trying to conserve my shit. and this last week or so Ive been doing small shots trying to save more, but then Ill do another shot in like 30 minutes. I end up doing more, and not getting a good rush. its so whack. I want to just stay well, but with IV opiates its impossible not to chase the rush. and now I wanna do my last shot but I need to save it for the morning :/
