Hello all-
I have a question, and before everyone jumps on me-- yes, I know IM-ing is a BAD idea. Unfortunately I was new to injecting and I was fortunate enough to receive two bottles of medical dilaudid solution, 10mg/ml. I was fortunate enough to receive it from a pharmacist "friend" along with 21-22g needles, alcohol wipes, and the works. (even a sharps container!) She told me it was safe to inject intra-muscularly so I started out with a small amount in my left shoulder, about the area you would get a tetanus booster. Took a bit of time to come up, but it definitely felt pretty nice, so I loaded more into the syringe and tried 2 cc's after prepping the area, and this time I tossed the needle. (Pharm-friend wanted me to use a new needle for every injection but there was no way said person had supplied me with enough (plus a few extra I wanted to "play around" with) so I figure two shots was about safe. Anyway, time went by and I rotated injection sites to try to keep it from getting tender and even read (on a different site) the middle-third of the leg was a decent place for an IM shot, so I used that as part of my rotation. Anyway, went through the first bottle relatively quick and after reading here the danger of IM shots, I'm asking what exactly I should be looking for/what I can do to minimize the risk of complications, after the fact. Remember, I never shared needles, used clean ones every other-ish shot, swabbed the area and even the tip of the bottle before loading up the syringe, and didn't inject more cc's than was ever recommended (by the sites I got the info from).
So basically, what should I watch for as a result of the IM injections?
The second bottle I asked said person for insulin syringes and have been IV-ing the stuff. Much more effective and quicker onset. Still trying to practice the best hygiene I can, washing hands, alcohol swabs, making sure i'm in the vein before pushing, rotating sites, etc etc. My second question is this- the person was able to get me some Dilaudid oral pills, 4mg and from what I've read, they're next to useless when ingested orally based on expected absorption. Tried sniffing a few, with mixed results. From what I read here, and other places, Dilaudid seems to be one of the safer pills to inject, although I realize it's never 1005 the best idea. I was also able to get micron filters from said person. I have I decent amount of 4mg pills to play around with/experiment.
Are the dilaudid pills safe (relatively) to shoot, practicing proper hygiene? Any tips to minimize damage.maximize results?
I know this was long, so thank you to all who read
