| 4 | Acute arthritic pain | I suffer from arrythmia but was very surprised that Dilaudid could bring on an episode.In fact I thought it was coincidence but after reading about the side effects I now realize that taking a dose did indeed cause the irregular heartbeat. | I get bad intestinal reactions from most narcotics, Dilaudid being the exception.Now that I find it causes my arrythmia I don't know where to turn. I only take the medication on rare occasions when I am in real pain. | F | 86 | | 8/8/2009 | 1 | pain after total knee arthroplasty | disorientation, nausea, low blood pressure (lowest was 88/45). Dementia-like behavior, hallucinations, irrational fear, anxiety, panic attack. | I wouldn't touch this or any other similar drugs ever again. | F | 77 | 2.5 days | 2/16/2005 | 1 | gall stone pain | injected by ER doc - instant violent nausea which continued for 3 days even with anti nausea injections | M | 74 | 1 days 1X day | 7/13/2011 | 4 | Knee replacement sorry | Am taking 2 mg every 3 hrs have experienced nausea and loss of appetite | F | 72 | 1 months 2 mg. 3 ev | 7/11/2014 | 1 | breast cancer surgery | severe sweating, drenched, nausea, dizziness, had to change hospital gown as well as bedding | would not reccomend it; similar reaction to morphine; informed hospital staff about morphine, codeine reaction, dangerous, symtoms of onset of stroke | F | 71 | 1 days I V 1X O | 10/15/2010 | 2 | Intestinal blockage pain | Severe reaction to drug. Went into convulsion. Counter the effects by injecting Benydril into IV. | F | 70 | 1 days 1X day | 12/28/2010 | 5 | Laminectomy and Failed Laminectomy | Constipation. Vivid dreams. | Was given IV Dilaudid in hospital post op and that was always sufficient for pain relief. After discharge I was switched to 2mg tablets cut in half q4h/prn (1mg) for pain. Again, the drug was sufficient for breakthrough pain. I am now using Norco and Zanaflex on a regular 4 hour cycle now, plus Neurontin and Lyrica, and have found that half of a half tablet, or half a milligram of Dilaudid will ease the pain away in ten minutes. It's easy to see this drug as being addictive; the euphoria from just 1mg is quite high and the dreams are very pleasant and vivid and that's a good reason for my decision to take the smallest dose. Yes, it constipates, but what drug doesn't? It takes the pain away and that's worth everything when pain has you in its clutches. | M | 69 | 4 months | 11/4/2009 | 1 | given for pain of a heart cath | It was bad, never want that stuff again, room spinning , could not walk without help. Took all day for the spinng feeling to go away | F | 69 | injection 1X day | 6/22/2011 | 4 | Virtually none, mild sleeplessness,dry mouth-nothing that would make me hesitate using it in the future. | Had serious pain (8-8.5)in back/legs following PLIF (L4-5)surgery. Vicodin was helpful (although does tend to "plug" me up)but needed somthing more heavy duty at times and Dilaudid filled the bill. I took 2Mg pills every 4 Hrs | M | 68 | 10 days | 8/22/2009 | 1 | Pre surgical sedation? | Increase on BP, headache, palpitations Had previous similar reaction to morphine Previous level 1 Traumatic Brain Injury They did not do surgery at surgical center, blamed me for non controlled BP? | F | 65 | 1 days | 9/8/2013 | 5 | After spinal surgery | No side effects | The best post operative pain reliever I have ever experienced after major surgery . I was first on morphine and it felt like they were still inside of me working . I asked them to please change it to delaudid because I had experience with it three times before . My pain level went from 10 to zero in seconds | F | 64 | 3 days ? 6X AN | 7/2/2016 | 4 | Had both feet, major surgery, pins. | Major surgery, have taken before, now if take causes red, itch, but goes away, have used everthing, thought was just m, tablets causes redness, the IV didnt cause any redness, had to be given IV benedryl??

Typically, I am given Zofran and Dilaudid by IV. After the IV combination, I end up feeling dopey and have extreme shaking. After getting home, I develop a headache and have to sleep 24 hours! | I have found that I cannot take either Morphine or Dilaudid without experiencing adverse effects. I just can't easily use either. It only gives me a partial relief from the pain that I have. I, for whatever, reason just can't comfortably use opiates, no matter in what form. I can only speak for my experiences. I know that others do experience relief. I can neither recommend or not recommend. I just know that it makes me very ill. The shaking is unbelievable. Having to sleep for hours after administration is concerning. | F | 62 | 1 days 2 MGS (IV) 1X H | 3/7/2014 | 5 | in ER with kidney stones | It stopped the pain immediately, but I couldn't even open my eyes or raise a finger. It was great for the pain, but would hate to take it on a regular basis. I couldn't even walk. I felt a little out of it for a day or two, but not sure if it was the drug or just the trauma of the kidney stones. | F | 61 | 1X day | 12/30/2011 | 1 | Severe lower back pain | I had to stop taking Dilaudid (6mgs 3 x's a day), as the use of it caused me to shake, feel nauseous, have a headache, and to feel very drowsy. The use of it made me have INCREASED pain. | Same as above. | F | 61 | 0 days 2 3X day | 7/17/2013 Patient History | 5 | Flail Chest displaced rib fractures | Stopped pain to permit me to get out of hospital bed to walk for 20-30 minutes 3 times a day. No discernible side effects-I was on other pain killers at the same time 24 hours a day | I was given it by IV and it only lasted about 45 minutes but without it any movement was excruciating-which made getting out of bed to walk absolute torture. | M | 60 | 2 weeks | 8/24/2009 | 5 | Hip Replaced/Infection &back surger | None, it worked very well for me. I was receiving it through my IV first time hip replacement and it got infected for about 21 days/alternating percocet. Also with back surgery same as above but I only took it for 4 days. Also pulled my elbow out of socket, they just gave me 1 injection to relieve the pain so they could take x-rays and put it back in the socket. | F | 60 | 10 days Not sure | 7/11/2019 |
