It depends on the person and how high their tolerance is, the doctors also take into account any medications you are on that they know about and how much you weigh. There is no limit for how much you can take if your tolerance is super high I have been give me 60 milligrams which would normally kill an opiate naive person! generally someone who has not taken painkillers and has no tolerance can you stand up 4-8 milligrams of Dilaudid staggered over an hour and that will be more than enough to kill any pain that they have.
