Dilaudid is a usually prescribed to prevent pain in severe cases of cancer, heart attack, injury, or pain from a surgery. The substance has eight times as much effect as morphine when it comes to relieving pain. Dilaudid is also used as a suppressant for coughs that are dry and painful, often due to bronchitis following aliments such as influenza.

Although it is not as bad as morphine, dilaudid is known to be very addictive and should only be used when prescribed by a doctor and only in the way prescribed to avoid a painkiller addiction.

Those who abuse dilaudid often use the drug to experience a high similar to that of codeine or heroin. When given intravenously, effects can begin to take place as soon as 15 minutes after injected and may last as long as five hours.

Dilaudid, when injected into the blood stream, gives users an intense sense of euphoria and well-being. Some users discuss being so happy and “empty-headed” that they simply sat in bed and stared at the wall. If you are to this point its time to stop using dilaudid.

The side effects of dilaudid can include circulatory and respiratory depressions, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and sedation. When dilaudid is taken in large quantities, it is possible to have a circulatory system collapse or even death.

Dilaudid detox is a painful process, with withdrawal symptoms as intense as those of morphine. Thankfully, these withdrawal effects are short-lived and usually end within seventy-two hours.
