Dilaudid compared to other opiates

[daveman]

How is dilaudid compare to oxycodone? i use oc daily 30-60mg, and can
handle quite a bit more without getting sick, but that ammount usually
gets me off decently through a day. If someone were to receive
100 dilaudids that are 2mg each, how many should a person with this
tolerance to opiates take? What if this person insulflates heroin
sometimes as well? What is the high like? is it a really great
feeling euphoric high like oxycontin? or is it a really zoned out
boring high like MS contin? Does it get you a itch? or is the high more
body, like a heroin high? what would it best be related to,
assuming this person hastried just about all the opiates out
there, thanks!

I've no idea about comparative doses, but I recall that dilaudid is a strong, artificial opiate type high, much better that methadone, but less euphoric than heroin.

Dilaudid is perhaps four times as strong as Morphine Sulfate and a lovely drug SWIM says.

I researched your question and found a good website that will help anyone who wants to compare narcotic dosages.

10mg of morphine, administered IV/IM is equal to 1.3mg hydromorphone administered IV/IM.

30mg of morphine sulphate administered orally is equal to 3.8mg of hydromorphone.

Both drugs have a duration of 4-5 hours.
