is this withdrawal? (hydromorphone)

I got addicted just fine doing one dose after work. They just took a day longer to kick in, I'd dose every day at 4pm. I missed one day out and was fine all day, but on day 2 the withdrawals hit and they hit hardl

Anyway even dosing once every 2 days is easily enough to get addicted, especially if he's raising his doses. As on day 2, you'll still have opioids in your brain due to the half-life. It takes until day 3 for your brain to be fully clean - if he started off on 10mg oxy and used that every 2 days - but then got his tolerance up to where he was using 60mg oxy every 2 days. Due to the opiate half life, he'll still have 5 - 10mg oxy in his brain on day 2 even if he might not feel it due to tolerance.

So there's definitely a chance you'll get addicted even every 2 days. infact I know someone who takes DHC once every 3 days - but they take a lot of DHC (600mg). And they definitely get withdrawals on that third day.
