Dilaudid is the brand name for hydromorphone witch is 2X as powerful as regular morphine.
And Dilaudid has a short half-life, I think; at least it did for me, when I used it for back pain. It's nothing to mix with other chemicals, either, IMO.
Nasty stuff. My elderly mom almost choked while vomiting after this drug was administered after a bad fall. They could have cared less. I had to administer the kidney bowl and clean her up.
That is the stuff they gave me while I was in the hospital when I had my first knee replaced. Every time I hit the button to administer the stuff I would throw up. Also, it made me really uneasy and nervous.
How in the world did he get it and also how could he take it without knowing he was really impaired, especially while using all that other crud?
