Can Hydromorphone kill you

Answer 1

Yes it most certainly can, if you take to much and depending on how many mgs of methadone you are taking. You can easily overdose with methadone because it mask the effects of other opiates so you think " I can't even feel that," which leads you to take more and more until its too late. Never mix any drug with methadone. And methadone should never be taken recreationally because it is more addictive than heroin and to me personally the most addictive drug in the world. 90% of people who start taking methadone as a daily maintenance drug never quit taking it for the rest of their lives. If you haven't been taking it long than try to quit very gradually. Even though the clinic you probably go to will tell you need to keep taking it, they are just worried about their profit, always remember clinics are a "for profit" organizations and do not have YOUR best interest in mind.

Answer 2

Different people will react differently to the same drug at the same dosage.

It's not just a matter of adjusting the dosage to your body weight.

This is why it is unsafe to tell you what dosage is safe or deadly.

According to the reference tables used at MassGeneral, oral Hydromorphone is 4 times as potent as oral morphine, and injected/IV hydromorphone is 7 times as potent as injected/IV morphine (for pain relief). This does not mean that you, a layman, can make these decisions safely, because ALL the factors that can affect your body's reaction to a drug, including existing health conditions and whatever other medicines you are taking, must be taken into account.

One problem with any opioid drug (including hydromorphone) is that it will affect you differently depending on what level of tolerance your body has built to it. This is why when a physician prescribes this type of drug, a low dose is initially given and then it is raised gradually while the patient is observed, so that the minimum amount needed to give pain relief is given. The patient is also observed for dangerous side effects, such as respiratory or circulatory depression, which can lead to unconsciousness or death without medical intervention.

Mixing any opioid drug with alcohol or certain other drugs can be dangerous.

Used as prescribed by a physician that is aware of all other drugs you are using and in a controlled setting, hydromorphone is an excellent drug for pain relief.

Experimenting with any opioid drug outside a physician's care and supervision can be deadly.
