Injecting - What do you like and dislike about injecting opiates?

[raven3davis]

SWIM loves injecting opiates! What is there not to love.

*Warning injecting opiates is dangerous and addictive*

What does SWIM love about injecting?

SWIM loves the anticipation of cooking up a big shot. SWIM doesnt really like sticking the needle into his skin but it doesnt really hurt that bad. All anxiety is relieved once you hit a vein and see that blood squirt into the needle. The visual effect is amazing! Pushing the plunger in is like crossing the finish line in a long race. When you pull out the needle you know you are in for a ride. SWIM manily shoots up dilaudid and anyone who has shot hydromorphone knows what a rush it is! SWIM has shot heroin and oxy before too, and he experienced a strong rush from oxy, but the comeup was more gradual for heroin, but the overall high was better.

SWIM doesnt like missing a vein. SWIM hates having to pull the needle out of his flesh after a miss SWIM hates it even more when he accidentally injects and he did not hit a vein. That doesnt happen very often but you dont get the rush feeling and it hurts a bit more afterwards. SWIM has gotten good at injecting though so he hits a vein about 90% of the time.

What does SWIM like and dislike about injecting? Which opiates does SWIM like to inject the most? Overall, SWIM like heroin the most out of all opiates but he needs to experiment more with large doses. Although this is not related, can anyone compare the comeup-time for opiate IV and ketamine IV? SWIM has also injected 4-aco-dmt and cocaine and he has always been able to pull the needle out before feeling powerful effects. Do you think SWIM will be able to IV ketamine and pull the needle out before going into the k hole? Off topic...kinda but swim just figured he would ask.

Please let other uses know what you like and dislike about injecting and also any tips you have to offer. This thread is for experienced IV users only. Dont get any funny ideas if you dont inject. SWIM loves the euphoria but IV definitely carries a bad stigma. He hates hiding it from his loved ones, but sometimes you just gotta do what ya do and not worry what everyone else thinks. peace

SWIY is planning on IVing ketamine? SWIM thought ketamine was usually shot IM. thats off topic from the main point, SWIM just didnt think IVing was usually done with this drug. IMing would certainly give SWIY time to pull the needle out.

SWIM has only had experience with IV meperidine, much of which he does not remember. However the pluses to the experience include a great sense of euphoria as the rush hit, and that it lasted substantially longer than SWIM expected.

Negatives include the fact that it was under surgery circumstances and as such was combined with Versed, so SWIM does not remember the peak of it.

Swim was as addicted to the spoon, cotton, needle, as he was to heroin. He loved the whole process and was just as excited everytime. The only thing bad about the needle(besides its addictive nature) is once swiy start's shooting up nothing else compare's and swiy will only shoot up, at least for this swim thats the way it was. Swim has been off the stuff for 8 months though and will never go back. After a run with heroin then methadone it was to painfull(literally), to much work, and to pricey to get clean. Its a fun ride until Swim wants to stop and finds out he can't. Then swiy is not doing it to get high but to stop from going bouge. There swim is done preaching.

For swim I think I was addicted as much to the process of preparing the drugs for injection as I was to the drugs themselves. Swim could feel the tension building up inside themselves as swim was cooking up there heroin and the drawing it up into the needle and finally the over-wellming rush as the plunger was pressed down. The bad sides for swim were contracting hepatitus C, the clots and deep vein thrombosis swim got in there left leg along with with the fact that swims veins never lasted that long before they collapsed and it was onto digging about to try and find a new spot.

The preparation, the intense build up .. the plunge... the sinking contentment.... the forgetting of life and over all numb and warm ness..the intense peace of mind...

Although SWIM has not injected in over a year, SWIM enjoyed every aspect of injecting. It was so efficient, entertaining, different, and not to mention the feeling was amazing. Seeing as how SWIM was using cocaine, he was constantly injecting, so after a while it became standard procedure, but seeing that red plume was almost as satisfying as the taste hitting the back of SWIM's throat or the rush itself.

Also, I realize that it may have been a bit off subject since it was in Opiates, but SWIM has had a few drinks tonight.

Damnit why does SWIM always seem to miss when he is shooting coke? He only does one shot too. It isnt like he has the jitters from previous shots. Maybe God doesnt like him shooting coke

How about a non-negative comment from a non-injector? SWIM finds the whole thing interesting, although he has never done it. Most of the likes/dislikes are obviously related to mental associations, and SWIM can really relate with that as a 'former' coke user, both smoked and snorted (the word 'former' in quotes, as SWIM isn't sure there's such a thing as quitting coke while still alive).

It's a similar question to "what do you like about chopping with the razor, picking out the right straw, the throat drip, pushing the chore through a pipe," etc. except the mental connections are probably like 5x more intense with injecting. SWIM can respect that.

SWIM is prescribed Fentanyl which SWIM has heard some people inject. I have to say that I would never cross over into injection territory. Mostly because it's so unsafe, and also I would feel like a total druggy. Does anyone else feel this way?

total druggy then what's that then?

Umm no because swia is not dictated by what ignorant people think. Injection can be done safety it is just another method to put a drug into your system nothing more.

Whether people have the time or patience to inject safely is up to them.

SWIM hated losing many veins from repeated heroin, coke, heroin, coke, binges.. Other than that, seems it was the most efficient method..

Wow. Reading that made swim feel a little nostalgic. Swim absolutely loves injecting opiates! Swim has injected heroin as well as cocaine (swim has also tried injecting various other things) and really really loves it! Swim loves the needle just as much as the heroin. Swim loves the entire process of preparing the shot and cooking up and tying off and everything involved. Swim has been clean of heroin for many months now and really really misses it. Especially misses the needle. Swim is seriously considering a little one time celebratory injection to occur in the not too distant future (perhaps in celebration of swim's birthday!). Of course, swim doesn't want to go back to the horrible place where swim used to be when she was a full time user with a hard habit. However, swim really just wants a taste for old times sake and reading this only makes this desire stronger.

Swim has been doing alot of codeine lately (as it is over the counter in swim's current country of residence) and of course swallowing pills could never come close to the absolute heavenly bliss of injecting. Also codeine is garbage in comparison to heroin. Anyway, swim would like to thank swiy for this beautiful post about injecting. Reading this is like porn for swim, only better.

Swim can totally relate to what you wrote here. Swim has also been there and is now many months sober. Swim had a long, painful and complicated love affair with heroin and the needle and while swim misses it very much, swim also feels like you do. That it is too much work and too pricey as well as too painful to be worth it. Swim agrees with every word you said although a part of swim will always love and miss the needle. It was, after all, swim's first love.

Swim has had MDMA powder and coke this way, as well as opiates (Demerol) while in the hospital. Swim much prefers opiates but the ritual of the needle is the same, regardless of what is in it. Swim feels that treating the act of injecting as if it were something sacred keeps her from doing it randomly and frequently. Swim has not injected in a good while and lets the anticipation build for long periods before doing it. Swim has to admit that the rush was the main reason that injecting became so sacred to her. The rush is the orgasm and the injecting ritual is the foreplay leading up to it. Just thinking about the ritual or seeing a rig gives swim a sexual tingle. Swim doesn't know if others feel quite that way about it because most others want to inject MORE instead of less when it is associated with such intense desire but swim knows that keeping tolerance down is important, as is safety, and injecting, while not safe, is still safer when done less frequently.

Swim loves the way swiy compared the injection to an orgasm. Swim feels the exact same way about it. It's a very sexual experience. Swiy has worded it perfectly. Swim couldn't say it better.

Oh who needs orgasms when SWIM injects it is pure heavenly bliss. Unfortunately it becomes pure hell one day and SWIM must do things he would not ever do to be in that relationship. That one is a love hate relationship. I'm glad it's over but Still will love her forever.
And for Raven3 I used to do the same with coke. I'd get the jitters just in anticipation and miss every time it seemed.
