Dilaudid was invented around the early 1900’s. It was not long after heroin was outlawed in the United States. Dilaudid was said to be an improvement on morphine and it actually is a semi synthetic derivative of it. It is generally use for mild to moderate pain. A lot of cancer patients use this drug to help them cope with the severe pain they experience. Dilaudid is habbit forming but I think a better word would be that it can cause dilaudid addiction. Many heroin addicts use this drug for a substitute for heroin in tough times. Well I guess they don’t even have to be tough times they just like them.
A lot of people Dr. seek for this drug sometimes having a whole string of Dr’s that will write scripts for them. If you think you may have a problem with this drug I am going to give you a couple suggestions how you can overcome dilaudid. One way is to taper yourself off of the drug by taking a little less each day; for example, one could reduce the amount they use by 1mg per day. This should prevent any unwanted dilaudid withdrawal.
Another way to stop using dilaudid is to go to withdrawal treatment dilaudid. There you can be medically detoxed from dilaudid by a staff of people who are trained for this. This process usually will take around 5 days in which time you will go though a relatively painless withdrawal. I say this because you will be given medications to help ease the pain. Anyway when you are finished detoxing I recommend that you go to residential treatment. Once there they will give you suggestions that will help you to keep from returning to dilaudid using. I have kicked dilaudid myself a time or two so don’t sweat the withdrawal its not that bad you will not die from dilaudid withdrawal but you may think you will.
I would suggest that you do not delay time is of the essence here your life my depended on it so why not stop using now. I can just about guarantee that you will not be disappointed with your new life without drugs.
