| 1 | Broken Foot | Hallucinations and incontinence. | Pain not noticed. | F | 85 | 1 days | 1/3/2006 | 4 | Foot surgery | Constipation, sweating, a few hallucinations | Surgery involved opening up the top of the foot, trimming some bones, and installing some pins and screws. Mepergan really helped - I had very little pain while I was taking it. The Rx said 1 or 2 pills every 4-6 hours - I took about 6 the first day and 4 each of the next two - I am a large man and this more than sufficed. After three days the pain had subsided to the point where I decided that enduring the minor pain remaining was better than putting up with the side effects. | M | 65 | 3 days | 6/9/2006 | 1 | post shoulder surgery | Extremely frightening hallucinations, mouth so dry I couldn't talk, dizziness, could not walk without much assistance. | This, in my opinion, is a terrible drug. I thought I was losing my mind . Didn't seem to alleviate the pain either. Took 3 doses, and it was truly a trip...to hell. | F | 62 | 1 days | 2/16/2007 | 5 | Oral Surgery | Helped me sleep and releaved the pain | F | 60 | 3 days | 5/13/2004 | 4 | Cervical disc fusion | I was taking it in the hospital and also when I went home. It stopped the pain but I started hallucinating, seeing ants on the wall, etc. Had to discontinue and started taking hydrocodone. | F | 60 | 3 days | 6/22/2005 | 5 | dental implant surgery | groggy | The only pain med I've ever taken that did not make me feel nasuated, yet handled the pain well. In the past I've taken Vicodin, Percocet and Darvocet, all of which made me nasuated (particularly unpleasant with dental work) and didnt really help with pain. The Mepergan was excellent, it did make me groggy, but fortunately I didn't have to take it but 1 day. | F | 59 | 1 days | 3/11/2006 | 5 | post surgeries | This is the only pain med I can take for severe pain, I'm allergic to codeine. Works great for me, usually just knocks me out, but I do have a hangover the next day. So I try to take only half a capsule to relieve pain. | F | 55 | 1X day | 1/26/2012 | 5 | migraines | Except for the typical drowsiness at times (not a bad thing when you're trying to sleep off a migraine) no other problems encountered.. | Since other migraines meds did not work, this drug has been a life saver for me.. | F | 52 | 4 years | 9/26/2004 | 4 | chronic pain-postshouldersurgeries | Total brain fog- kills pain. | takes (me) 24 hour to get rid of- stay in a dazed state long after apin relief is gone.I take it several times a week, not several times daily, when in dire need for relief...I hate the dopey feel | F | 48 | 4 years | 4/12/2008 | 5 | migrains | Took the pain away. Short acting, but it works. Little drowsy but not but not sick with it. | F | 45 | 2 days | 3/28/2005 | 5 | Foot surgery | dizzy especially after stopping medication, sleepy. mild hallucinations - more so the inabilty to tell reality from dreams, slight skin rash around mouth, but benefits of not being ill from anesthesia and taking away pain far outweighed the side effects! | F | 43 | 5 days | 11/24/2005 | 5 | snapped penis in mousetrap - ouch | hard to pee, dry mouth, erectile disfunction, wild hallucinations of me having sexy time with Princess Di. | Really wonderful stuff. Can I get a witness? | M | 42 | 9 days | 4/26/2007 | 5 | back surgery | I do not recall any. | F | 40 | 6 months | 1/6/2005 | 5 | Migraine,chronic neck,back pain | Dry mouth, drowsiness | It's short acting, like only lasts 2 hours and you can only take it every four hours, eventually you build a tolerance and have to take more. It saved my life, I was having suicidal pain levels. | F | 39 | 13 years | 8/13/2002 | 5 | Root canals | None | F | 39 | 4 days 50/12.5 | 2/15/2014 | 5 | abdominoplasty surgery | Complete pain relief and slept most of the three days I was on it without much memory of that time frame. It was given staggered with valium. Either way, I was completely comfy on it. | F | 39 | 3 days | 1/29/2015 | 5 | oral surgery | none. This is the first time ever I have taken this medicine. I have never taken a pain pill that didn't make me throw up. Time released are the worst. This medicine worked wonderfully. I didn't throw up once. | F | 39 | 14 days | 9/19/2004 | 4 | Migraines | Makes it easier to fall asleep; I can sleep through the night without waking up (and, if I wake, I can fall back asleep easily). Definitely impairs my cognitive abilities and makes the world blurry. I would not suggest driving or doing anything complicated. No nausea. | Like other drugs I take for migraines, mepergan does not seem effective after I've taken it a couple of times (in these cases, it does not relieve any of my pain). I often take it with Advil to stop pain from recurring (mepergan does not seem to have anti-inflammatory effects-- it just masks pain). The first pill I ever took made me feel like my pounding migraine still existed, but it was somewhere across the room from me (which was nice). It has never been as effective since. I do not take more than two pills per day, because it seems pointless (it won't help). I have not tried upping the dosage because it is a narcotic and I don't want to become addicted. While it makes me sleepy, sometimes I cannot sleep (I remain in bed half asleep, with a weird sense of floating, for half of the night). The cognitive impairment is such that I don't think I could write anything or evaluate anything complicated. I have developed non-thought-requiring activities to occupy myself when I have to ta | M | 39 | 6 years | 10/14/2006 | 5 | back pain. post and pre surgery | dry mouth | this is a great drug, I take around 200mg at a time very relaxing effect. peak effect 1 hour and lasts for 1 to 2 hrs | M | 38 | 3 weeks | 10/15/2004 | 1 | Kidney Stones | Extremely drowsy and dizzy. | Did not stop the pain. Was taking max dose and still was in extreme pain. Begged doctor for diffrent drug. Given Tylox next which did stop the pain and did not even have to take max dose. | M | 38 | 10 days | 10/31/2003 |
