| 2 | | 9/14/2006 | 2 | | 3/22/2008 | 5 | knee surgery, back surgery | None really, slight drowsiness at times | I do not tolerate pain meds well because of Crohn's Disease-everything makes me sick at my stomach. Mepergan was a life saver when I had bi-lateral knee surgery. It completely suppressed the pain, and I didn't get sick. It's the best medicine I've ever taken! | F | 35 | | 4/14/2008 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Helps me get comfortable enough at night to sleep well all night. If taken during the day, it makes me very sleepy if I am not active. If I stay up and moving it does not make me sleepy. | Definitely takes the pain away, but it does not last very long. I could probably take it every two or three hours, although that is not recommended. Overall I say it is a very good pain med. Thank goodness I have not experienced any of the hallucinations that other people say they have had from it. | F | 27 | 5 days | 6/7/2007 | 5 | menstral cramps | sleepy, dry mouth, nothing that would be unenjoyable. i take it for that once a month and for migranes that are sparatic. | I vote if it takes away my pain i am ok with it. it defanitely did. | F | 22 | | 11/4/2008 | 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 | back surgery | I do not recall any. | F | 40 | 6 months | 1/6/2005 | 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 | kidneystones | none | completely took away pain | F | 29 | 3 months | 4/26/2005 | 5 | oral surgery | Drowsiness, dry mouth | It worked like a charm! You feel a bit loopy on it and drowsy, but after the oral surgery I just wanted to sleep anyway. | F | 22 | 1 weeks | 6/5/2005 | 5 | slight drowsy..dry mouth | great medicine help greatly..had severve mouth pain | F | 24 | 20 days | 9/3/2009 | 5 | F | 24 | 1 days | 12/31/2013 | 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 | 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 | ruptured ovarian cyst | extreme drowsiness mild hallucinations | I tried other pain medications first. This was the only one that gave me any relief. I noticed no pain while on this medication. | F | 26 | 4 days | 10/21/2006 | 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 | 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 | back pain | none | i got my life back whem i started taking it | F | 35 | | 8/11/2006 | 5 | Migrains and Back problems | If you are not use to it you need not to drive or try to do anything to strenious. Will cause you to be sleepy. | I have a disk disease, so therefore, I have to use this often. I also use it for my migrains. I am allergic to anything with codine or anything related to codine. We have found that this is the only medicine that I can take that does not make me sick. Thank goodness this medicine is mixed with a medicine to keep you from being sick to the stomach. | F | 31 | | 6/11/2005 |
