| 5 | Biliary colic | Euphoria | I felt a very hot and pleasant flush in my brain, and euphoria. It felt as though I was waiting my whole life to feel as happy as I did in that moment. | 49 | 1 days 2 mg iv 1X day | 2/28/2011 | 5 | | 1/17/2005 | 5 | At hospital | Great pain relief | 55 | 1 days 5 | 4/25/2016 | 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 | 5 | Tonsillectomy | This is by far the best pain med out there. Pain went from like 10 to zero in minutes , it's amazing! Not happy that the doctor only gave me such a small dose of it. I was taking Tylenol with codeine for the pain at first and it did NOTHING! All in all great pain med despite all the side effects. | My side effects: Drowsy,insomnia, nausea, hallucinations | F | 41 | 1 days 1mg oral l | 7/13/2016 | 5 | ruptured ovarian cyst | Heavy ness on the right side of my body, tightness in my throat, unsteady, sleepy, wild dreams, some itching, out of it for about 24 hours. | I had never had any type of pain meds besides otc. I went into the emergency room with sever pain about an 8 and within seconds of a small, diluted dose of dilaudid I relaxed and was at a low 2. I slept for most of the next 48 hours. 4 days later I am having stomach cramps, constipation, goosebumps, nausea, tremors. I haven't taken anything else so I assume these are side effects as well. It worked well but I am a little worried about my lingering side effects. | F | 36 | 1 times 1X O | 1/19/2015 | 5 | migraines, post op pain, iv in er | First time I had this was after my hysterectomy, nurse pushed it way too fast and almost stopped my heart. I usuallyget this in IV form in the ER for migraines that last weeks. I always make sure they give me the anti-nausea meds first to stop any vomiting and headache nausea. I get compozine, dilauded, toradol, and benadryl (in that order) and the headache stops immediately. The cocktail makes me very tired, but sleep is best for migraines anyway. The benadryl helps with the itching, too. | I have so many drug allergies that finding a cocktail that works is a miracle. I just wish drs would stop treating me like an addict because I ask for what works and what I'm not allergic too. I have a great neuro that closely monitors my meds just to prevent addiction. I've tried occipital nerve blocks and many other treatments. Can't afford Botox. Will stick with what works. | F | 44 | 1X day | 5/5/2015 | 5 | Chronic back pain | Extra sleepy, feel like I can sleep standing up. | F | 39 | 1 days S | 5/15/2015 | 5 | Post-op pain | Sleepiness, grogginess. | While no drug is perfect, I am someone for whom Dilaudid worked wonders. I had it post-op twice--once for abdominal surgery and once for spinal surgery. I had a PCA pump for the spinal surgery and was only on Dilaudid about 12 hours or so. I wish I'd been able to do that with the hysterectomy--I had to call and request it, which meant I was already in a lot of pain by the time someone got there. They only allowed 3 doses over a 24 hour period, which wasn't sufficient. For post-op pain, this is the best thing I've had. However, I know it doesn't work well for everyone--sorry about that and hope you can find something that does. | F | 46 | 2 days 3X day | 12/17/2013 | 5 | Multiple Sclerosis pain | Constipation, dry mouth | It wakes me up and I feel normal for a few hours. | F | 52 | 4 years 10 2X day | 7/1/2014 | 5 | I had my left leg amputated | There were no side effects. | Dilaudid was the only medicine that helped my pain. I can't remember the dosage. | F | 58 | 10 days | 7/23/2018 | 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 | 5 | I have ovarian issues and joints | Used to make me itchy and vomit but I'm used to it now. It's the only thing that helps my joints and ovaries and swollen vagina walls however without the drug I get really sick. Worst cold you'd imagine. Puking bile into chest pains. Horrible abdominal pains. You also get the runs and body temp fluctuating every two minutes. I have had to go to the Er before just to get a shot of hydro so I'm not sick until my next medication pick up | Miracle drug. | F | 26 | 1 days 8mgx20 day 10X day | 3/7/2021 | 5 | stomach obstruction | None | This drug is a miracle. I have been in the hospital 3 weeks for a stomach obstruction & I grind my teeth too, my tooth broke from having vitamin deficiency for so long. This medicine has helped for both issues, helps to calm my achy body, & helps my pain for longer than hydrocodone. Not everyone feels this way, but everyone is different. Some can take it & some cannot, but I know it's saved me from feeling pain for up to 5 hours. | F | 38 | 10 days 2ML prn 15 | 2/15/2016 | 5 | post-surgical (hysterectomy) | dry mouth and some sleepiness. | Dilaudid did not make me sick and kept me very comfortable for the first two days after surgery. I never felt drugged or high and it kept away the tension of worrying about pain. Worked wonders for me. | F | 52 | 2 days | 7/24/2007 | 5 | post-op (hysterectomy) | none | For three days my idiotic surgeon tried several different meds for pain. I was supposed to get up and walk after the hysterectomy but I couldn't move. They tried morphine, Percodan, codeine, Oxycontin--you name it. The hospital's wonderful pharmacist finally recommended Dilaudid. Within an hour there was no pain and I got out of bed and OUT of the hospital! I didn't feel "high" at all on this drug--just normal. The other drugs made me very nauseated, dizzy, and constipated. Dilaudid was not addictive (for me, anyway). I only took it two weeks, but for long-term pain this would probably be a good drug to keep patients functional. | F | 44 | 14 days | 4/30/2007 | 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 | 11/22/2007 | 5 | Neuropathy, radicolapathy,surgery | constipation, nausea, sleep disruption (more from my pain waking me up), attitude from my doctors | After back surgery I was left to leak spinal fluid for 16 days, then an other surgery, it caused a whole new set of painful problems for me and none of them are reversable. I was put on all sorts of pain medications such as oxycotin, phentanyl, neurontin, vicoden, norco, baclofen, xanax, soma, morphine, you name it I was on it. Most of the side affects were unbearable, and I lived in a semi vegitative state for over a year, just long enough for the statute of limitations to pass for malpractice. I have never felt high or woozey on dilaudid. It takes my pain far enough away that I might have some semblance of a life (not much). If any one else is having problems feeling victimized by your doctors please email me ([email protected]). I am tired of my MD's insinuation that it is all in my head or treating me like a drug addict. I have done all of their tests (painfull ones) and I have 58 pages of medical reports to confirm my condition. I would like to start a support group for people | F | 44 | 6 years | 12/10/2007 | 5 | post-op pain & spondyloliothesis | nausea headache sweating fatigue constipation | I was given this in the hospital because I told the Dr. hydrocodene and Tylenol 3 did nothing for my pain (especially my back pain/ which had nothing to do with my surgery/ I was in for a hip replacement.)I first used it during the day and night. Now I usually use it only at night as it makes me too tired and I feel kind of "out of it". But it has been effective in a way the other meds were not | F | 59 | 4 weeks | 3/4/2008 | 5 | Lupus, Fibromyalgia, CTD etc | Dry mouth, itchy nose at first and nausea if not taken with food or nausea pill | I take 4mg of Dilaudid 3 times a day, along with 100mg of oramorph 3 times a day and up to 6 Lorcet per day for breakthrough pain. I take these medications due to having terminal Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and connective tissue disease. So basically my body is destroying itself. My immune system is 'eating' away at my organs and the tissue disease has eaten away my cartridge between my joints. When all my issues act up I get severe headaches, not migranes, but headaches that end up with me spending a week in hospital. The dilaudid stops me having to go to the ER. I don't know what I would do without it, I guess i'd have more hospital bills to pay. | F | 30 | 3 years | 11/8/2008 |
