Getting a high: This is not the forum where you can expect information on this type of activity. In fact trying to get a high with a prescription molecule is not recommended.

Question 2

is it possible for you to overdose on 16 mg of hydromorphone?

Accepted Answer

Not long: Based on the omg! i would recommend going to the er!  the half life of hydromorphone is about 2.5 hours.

Semi synthetic : Oxymorphone is a semi synthetic form of morphine.  Comes in immediate and extended release formulas and used for chronic pain.
