 4  mrsa/cellulitis No real side effects. Maybe a bit of pressure in my head when being administered. I could taste it too even though it was being injected in a main line. I has a large cut from surgery to my foot and the nurse had to pack my foot with gauze everyday. I took the Dilaudid about 30 minutes before and it still hurt. I've never been in so much pain. I would have to say that without the pain killer I probably would have passed out. I do not have an addictive personality so I had no issues with needing it to get by. M 4 days

 4  Torn meniscus, torn ACL constipation, craving, drowsiness, short term memory loss. I hate this stuff, yes it worked but I felt myself doing higher doses within a short period of time. I decided to take myself off of it. I am on day four of no Dilaudid. I am telling you, I am a very sick person. No real sleep, body seizures, anxiety, extremely sore muscles, headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, uncontrolled body temperature, exhaustion. This drug is nothing to mess with. You better realize the repercussions of having to come off this stuff and how it affects your brain. It's horrible.. F 4 weeks

 5  Post-Operative Pain Severe Constipation, "Dopiness"/Confusion, Slow Speech, Personality change, Emotional instability (I started crying for no reason, then laughed crazily about it!), slight amnesia. HYPOXIA!! After my microdiscectomy, when they were pulling the ET tube out, I was holding back my coughing. After they got it out, they told me I needed to cough fully instead of little puffs and clearing my throat. I told them I couldn't because it hurt too bad. They gave me 3 or 4mg I think. Then they asked "how you doin'?" and in addition to my nausea, I told them that I was in severe pain. 3 more mg. This medicine was great. It worked fairly quickly and took the pain away and made me really high, to be honest. It also dropped my SpO2 to under 89% and they had to administer O2 via High flow NRB for a while, then nasal canula. I also got more dilautid when I woke up in the hospital in severe pain the next morning. This time it was only 1 or 2 mg but It was still very effective effective. When the chemistry works out to the drug being 8x stronger than natural Morphine Sulfate and 3x stronger than Heroine, they aren't kidding. This stuff is potent. M 17 2 days

 4  Recreation, menstrual cramps Extreme Euphoria, slight nausia but very comfortable. After throwing up, you feel absolutly amazing. Your body feels like its floating. You get quite itchy but it feels really satisfying to scratch. Amazing dreams and visions. One of the best drugs i have ever done. VERY ADDICTIVE but one pill can last through the whole night. You become more and more tollerable so your dossage may have to be increased. M 19 2 months

 2  In the ER for prolonged headache Restlessness, nausea, shakiness, inability to sleep, lightheadedness, dizziness, loss of appetite I went to the ER as I had been having migraine-like symptoms for a total of eleven days. After the doctor in the ER again classified it as a classic migraine, he told me, EVEN THOUGH my pain was only at a 3 or 4, that my only option was to be given Dilaudid intravenously if I wanted to get rid of the pain. I consented, and within the first few minutes after being given the drug I felt quite strange and uneasy. My headache did seem to go away, but the effects I felt afterward were, to me, not worth it. Immediately following, I could barely move, and felt like I needed to sleep for a year. Unable to walk, I had to be wheeled out of the hospital in a wheelchair, and I expected to just fall asleep once I got home. However, once I got into bed, I tossed and turned for at least five hours, completely unable to sleep a wink even though I desperately wanted to. After finally getting some rest, when I awoke the next morning, I felt restless, anxious, nauseous, and I couldn't stop moving my body. I paced around my apartment the whole day, and I cannot remember ever feeling quite so terrible in a very long time. For the amount of pain I had had (which was not severe), it was completely unnecessary to give me such a strong medication. I don't recommend IV Dilaudid unless one has very severe or chronic pain.

 5  severe abdominal pain extreme euphoria,slight head rush, sleepiness, slight hallucinations and confusion. I was in excruciating pain for appendicitis, i was given dilaudid in my I.V and about 5 seconds later no pain whatsoever. Worked like a miracle for the pain, and the euphoria wasn't half bad either. I would occasionally fall asleep and wake up later not knowing I had fallen asleep. However, the medication seemed to wear off in as soon as an hour, but wasn't opposed to have more. F 20 3 days

 1  ER Visit for Back Injury Felt slight tingling sensation when the it was administered via IV, then room was spinning for about an hour but the pain went away. After an hour started experiencing nausea and tremors, then difficulty breathing, vomiting, and anxiety. Was administered a second dose against my wishes and suffered severe chest constriction and depressed heart rate. For the next few days after my release felt the after effects with dry mouth, bloody nose, severe migraines, dizziness, and blurry image. I am generally healthy, fit, with no prior allergies or any reactions to other pain medications. F 20 1 days

 5  Chronic back pain This medicine has no side effects aside from constipation and a general improvement in mood for me. Dilaudid works. It kills the pain. It's also got some other excellent effects, and should be used far more often. First of all, it kills my smoker's cough. Second of all, I have been able to not start antidepressants and I have quit Xanax because of this excellent medication. It removes anxiety and depression better than Xanax ever could. Third of all, my productivity has increased... somehow, this medication is a performance enhancer in the context of study and writing. What's a little constipation for the benefits of this amazing and unique "wonder drug"? M 21 1 years
