Hydromorphone was first manufactured in Germany in 1924 and was later introduced to the market by Knoll in 1926 under the trade name of Dilaudid, at this time it was said to be similar to morphine. One reason that dilaudid was invented is because heroin was no longer marketed for sale.
Dilaudid is also said to relive moderate to severe pain. It can be found in different strengths and is available in cough syrup too. It is said to help relieve painful bronchial coughing. I know that it is prescribed for pain for cancer patients; in fact, that’s how I acquired my first dilaudid addiction. I used to know a guy who had cancer and I bought them from him every month. They were dirt cheap 30 years ago also. I am extremely grateful those days are over with and I am clean today.
Quit using dilaudid
It took me a long time to get clean but I finally did after many relapses from coming off dilaudid if you could call them that. The way that it finally worked for me was that I went to long term treatment. This is where I started to change my life. I even went back to school and I am currently getting close to getting a degree in Social Work. This will allow me to help other addicts and get paid for it too. How awesome is that! If you are trying to stop using dilaudid I would suggest that you give long term rehab a try what do you have to lose? There you will learn to quit using dilaudid and learn a new way to live.
