Ahh mine was every couple hours. I’m not sure the dosage but it was two tubes most times. They gave me one tube occasionally and then asked a bit later if I wanted the other. I think I only declined once, it hurt quiiiite a lot. There weren’t any times where it wore off before I could have another, so that’s nice! Also the hospital my partner drove me to, I got fucking LUCKY. They got my vitals immediately when I got there, I was in a room within 10 minutes, a CT scan in maybe a half hour, and the were like “yeah you’re gonna have to stay for… some time. We’ll get you a room upstairs as soon as we can, but that’s gonna be the tricky part.”
My partner and I start watching stuff together on my phone while we wait (thank you headphone audio mirroring!) and we get a HALF HOUR IN and they’re like “corner room opened, we’re gonna get you in there NOW before anything happens to it”
Big ol giant room for us both to be in, nice tables I can move around without getting up. Bathe room mega close, and almost every time I paged a nurse for pain meds they were there INSTANTLY. It was honestly the best hospital experience I could have hoped for. After a few days on Dilaudid they asked if I wanted to switch to oral oxy when I could eat more, and that lasted much longer (but the whole IV thing was so neat… I’ve done almost every drug but never touched opiates and I refuse to touch needles, so that was prolly (hopefully) a once in a lifetime experience for me)
By the time I got home, I didn’t even need the extra Oxys they gave me, but I had a lil fun with them after as a reward for my experience. I’ll for sure go to that hospital if I ever need to again.
I find opiates kinda boring tbh, and while they can be euphoric (sorta mixed for me) they can also make me feel sorta ill, so I don’t really like to take them.
When I was depressed, though, that was a dangerous drug because I had so little “happiness” and it felt like a special treat - so I could see it being very dangerous if I didn’t have other sources of happiness / mental well-being.
So glad you got that corner room and you had a good experience, that is such great luck and so heart-warming.
Also probably worth mentioning that recreational drug use of heroin is probably dosing more than the hospital is giving, if I had to guess - so stronger euphoria, but also stronger depressant effects, etc., so I’m not sure how accurate your hospital experience was to what recreational users are experiencing.
Ehhh I took a recreational dose of oxy and it felt sorta cool, but mostly weird and extremely itchy. I tried once more dialing down the dose, but that, too wasn’t super exciting. Not the chem for me, but it was interesting trying it. I didn’t get euphoric or ill, it just felt… different. Maybe if I had never rolled my tits off on X, I’d have considered it euphoria, but naaaaah.
(I attempted to dose recreationally at home, once I wasn’t in any pain.)
