| 4 | boredom/recreational | euphoria, nausea, itchiness, vomiting, more euphoria | very nice, good rush, but short duration. | F | 21 | 2 days | 6/15/2001 | 4 | yes | skin irritation (itching of the limbs) | M | 12.5 days | 11/5/2001 | 4 | severe paain | M | 30 days | 3/18/2002 | 5 | chronic kidney stone disease | constipation like with any opiate, but tolerable considering what else I was going through. | it helps me function each and everyday i've ever relied on it. it's saved many sick days from work and school. you don't loose all mental capabilities unless you're watching tv or doing something that doesn't require thought. if your prone to addiction or abuse and yet your illness still requires something this strong (it's refined heroin basicaly) I recomend you address this with your doctor as he/she should then not prescribe large quanities. I nonetheless will always recomend this drug should your illness warrant it. And the threshold of pain for each and everyone of us is different, so use with caution and be functional again. | M | 24 | 9 years | 1/2/2003 | 4 | Crohn's pain | itchiness | F | 20 | 2 months | 1/21/2003 | 5 | to get wasted | costs too much | excellent high | F | 22 | 10 days | 2/26/2003 | 5 | back pain | constipation, ocassional nausea, mild insomnia | this medicine was a good alternative to oxycontin. It had similiar pain relief values with a lesser potential for nausea. | M | 23 | 1 years | 10/31/2003 | 4 | Back Disease | Early stages; Insomnia, Naseau, Vomiting, Constipation-dry stool, Kills sexual libido&impotence. Long Term; Insomnia, Constipation-dry stool, head aches, No sexual libido&impotence, Always hot-night sweats, Memory loss. | When taking Dilaudid, your sleep will be completely screwed up. If you actually can sleep, your sleep will be heavy and almost dreamless. Your mind never fully gets proper REM sleep, making your body feel like it hasn't had a good sleep in along time. Forget about watching movies, because someone will ask you ten minutes after its over about a certain part, and you wont remember much at all. After extended use, you become almost emotionless,where as what used to get you extremely excited, eg; when your favorite hockey team scores the overtime winning goal- You dont feel any rush of excitement, or adreniline. The same goes with movies, or any television you would really enjoy. You watch feeling almost emotionless through the entire thing,when you would normally be excited. And your memory won't be there. There's alot more i could go on about this drug for which i am so familiar with, but im sure there's a space limit. | M | 29 | 7 years | 4/10/2004 | 5 | severe chronic pain | sleeping, drooling | very good at taking away the nagging burning pains in legs and back | F | 25 | 7 weeks | 7/6/2004 | 4 | kidney stones | dizziness, slight nausea, hallucinations, dry mouth, sleepiness | as a chronic sufferer of kidney stones for 14 years.. i have had every kind of pain killer imaginable and this one seems to work the best for me. | F | 31 | 2 days | 9/21/2004 | 1 | In ER for extreme heache - IM Injec | A terrible | F | 53 | 1 days | 9/25/2004 | 5 | pain | none | good stuff | M | 38 | 7 times | 10/15/2004 | 5 | P.O. pain | None, mild euphoria | Works better then percocet or oxycontin for a take home pain killer for P.O. pain. | M | 23 | 1 months | 11/5/2004 | 5 | post thoracotomy pain | sleepiness | F | 35 | 5 days | 12/14/2004 | 5 | | 1/17/2005 | 4 | Atachnodiitis | Nausea, constipation, fatigue | Excellent pain med for breakthrough pain | F | 42 | 5 years | 1/19/2005 | 4 | severe chronic pain disease | nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, memory loss | I take Dilaudid so I can have some type of quality of life & without it, I would be in excruciating pain. I suffer from DDD, RSD (CRPS) & MS. Though it allows me to live pain free, its very hard on my body and mind. For myself, the first two hours of absorbtion cause a frenzy talkative stimulated effect, and Im burning up hot like on a desert. I also have excessive thirst and hunger. Even though I take Phenergan with every dose to help the nausea, I still vomit often. Ive noticed it happens more with increased motion. I have a calmer sense after the first two hours go by. It last about 6-8 hours for me. Sleep? I can't sleep till it starts wearing off. I also am beginning to have serious memory loss...my dog's name, my mother's phone number, what I was doing, difficult to recall specific words or vocabulary when I , at one time, had an extensive vocabalary. Im forced to choose a simpler elementary word to express myself. I often forget what Im talking about in mid sentence. Ive been told the memory loss from using this drug long term is permanent. Maybe I'll one day forget Im in pain. This drug isn't enjoyable or a high for me. Its only a means to stop the insane pain. If you dont suffer severe intractable pain, stay away from Dilaudid. | F | 46 | 2 years | 1/27/2005 | 4 | Stomach pain | Nausea, vomiting, severe headache | Had problems with gallstones a couple of years ago and was given 2mg tablets. The dilaudid did a great job of getting rid of the pain but ended up with a severe headache afterwards (though not as painful as the stones). I've been still having abdominal pains and have been given dilaudid injections twice, both times I experience nasty nausea and vomiting. | M | 35 | 2 times | 2/1/2005 | 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 | 2/3/2005 | 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 |
