When you take 8mg of hydromorphone for a long time, and you no longer take the pills, how many days does it take to be metabolized by the body? Wondering if and when withdrawals can happen?

Hello, Tonya! How are you?

The half-life of Hydromorphone, which is when it reaches only 50% of its level in your body is just around 4 hours, for oral dosing. Full elimination time takes 5 to 6 half-lives, so that would be 20 to 24 hours and withdrawal would likely start around that time.

Withdrawal effects may include nausea, dizziness, insomnia, fever, chills, rebound pain and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
