Hydromorphone was first founded and researched in Germany in 1924. It was introduced to the market and sold by Knoll pharmaceuticals in 1926 under the brand name Dilaudid indicating its ancestry and degree of similarity to morphine. What they were trying to accomplish is to invent a new drug called dilaudid that would improve on the number one existing drug morphine which basically replaced heroin when it was outlawed.

OK we have established how dilaudid came about now let’s talks a little about what hydromorphone or in other words dilaudid what we basically want to discuss here is what it is used for. One thing dilaudid is quite commonly used for is to teat moderate to severe pain. I know for a fact that it is common practice for physicians to prescribe it to cancer patients; as a matter a fact, that is how I got addicted to dilaudid. Anyway it is also used as a cough suppressant. It is said to relieve painful bronchial spasms in people who suffer with bronchial disorders.
How to beat dilaudid addiction
Its really is unimportant how one gets hooked on dilaudid it does not matter if one is snorting dilaudid or shooing dilaudid. The the thing is that we understand that we can stop using them. It will not be easy but you can do it. Now if you think you may have a dilaudid addiction what I am going to do next is let you know how you can get help for this. If you happen to be getting them from your Dr. then I would suggest that you tell them that you wish to stop dilaudid and they will devise a plan for you how to stop using diaudid. More than likely this will be tapering off the drug a little at a time. If you have become addicted to dilaudid in some other fashion like snorting dilaudid suggestion to you is to go to dilauidid treatment.
There you can go through dilaudid withdrawal with nothing to worry about. Trust me they will use medications to help relive any pain you may experience. This whole ordeal will normally take 4 or 5 days. Then if it were me I would continue my recovery in residential treatment because if you do not your chances of remaining clean with just a detox from dilaudid are slim and none.
