Hey everyone. I've been extremely anxious lately about some past habits I've been recovering from. I've been addicted to opiates for the last two years and have just gotten on methadone. For the last month or two of my addiction, I was injecting MScontin morphine sulfate pills. I think I probably shot around 100 in total. I never put much thought into the risks of this until now. I wasn't aware these pills contained talc, and now I can't get out of my mind what kind of irreversible damage I may have caused to my pulmonary/circulatory system. Also, I was never able to filter the solution very well, so I'm also worried about a glob of fillers getting loose one day and giving me a stroke or heart attack.

I know there are thousanRAB of people who shoot pills all the time and I haven't heard too many real life stories of severe consequences. I never plan on shooting a pill again; I greatly regret ever doing it. I'd just like to know if anyone thinks my worrying is justified and if I should see a doctor. What could a doctor do in my situation about this anyways (if anything)? I just really need some peace of mind.

Would really appreciate any thoughts on this disturbing matter.
 
eerrrrrmmmmmmm i'm not sure to be honest.....but you know, there is all sorts of crap cut into street heroin too, such as sand, codeine, buprenorphine, talc, diazepam, talc etc etc etc.

I injected heroin too, and when i first went onto methadone i was worried about the risks too, but when i discussed it with my drug worker 2 1/2 years ago she said there was nothing to worry about. Not sure if thats true tho. Hope you find the answer mate x
