| 1 | Joint replacement post surgery | Extreme agitation n increased pain. | My brother had same reaction so there could be genetic sensitivity/allergy. | F | 58 | 1 times | 5/7/2018 | 1 | ER | I felt extremely dizzy, I couldn't even stand up instantly felt sick zofran wasn't even touching the nausea they discharged me 2 hours after injection went to stand up started vomiting bile . I had to stay an extra two hours finally drove home and was still vomiting bile cause I had nothing in my stomach 24 hours later no vomiting but still feel sick to my stomach | Do not take this ... awful | F | 35 | 0 days 1mg | 9/21/2017 | 1 | Pain in abdomen from ovarian cysts | I was given a shot of Dilaudid into my IV when I was in the ER for abdominal pain caused by ovarian cysts. I didn't know if I'd ever had Dilaudid before but as soon as it hit me I had a panic attack. I shot up from bed feeling like my whole body was shaking and couldn't get that feeling to go away or even calm down for about an hour. The entire time I was itching my nose furiously. I was sweating and vomited after it hit. I will NEVER take this again. I would have taken the pain over the panic attack feelings. | I would recommend for anyone who suffers from anxiety or panic disorders to consider other medicines for pain before taking this. | F | 26 | 1 days Unsure 1X day | 2/22/2017 | 1 | ER treatment for headache | Gave 1 mg intramuscular in ER, I told them I'm sensitive to this medicine but she'd already stuck me with the needle. I passed out twice and came to only to vomit for 18 hours straight (dry heaving after 1st hour). Now the day after and I have a rebound migraine from it. Terrible drug. | F | 44 | 1 days 1 mg intra | 10/15/2015 | 1 | Injury treated in ER | Told techs I was not having much pain, did not want IV Dilaudid because sensitive to morphine in past. Gave it to me anyway. Had immediate projectile vomiting all over the ER. Maybe the tech will think twice next time when a patient says they are sensitive to a drug. | I'd rather suffer pain than take this drug. Awful, awful side effects. | F | 50 | 1 days IV 1X day | 9/12/2015 | 1 | Severe neck pain, cervical stenosis | Was injected for severe neck pain, stiffness, and headache due to cervical stenosis. Within few minutes became very sick. Dizzy, vomiting, shaking, high anxiety, and urinated on myself ( I didn't even realize this until I went in the bathroom to vomit again after trying to leave hospital). Some areas of severe pain on my neck went away but other areas on my neck were still there full force just as before. The symptoms all lasted until the medicine finally wore off. I could actually feel when it was wearing off. I will never allow this in my body again, I have never in my life felt as much pain as I did when I went in the hospital that day, and when I left I still had the pain and all of the symptoms above to go along with it. Vomiting when you have neck pain is a form of torcher. | F | 37 | 1 days 2mg | 3/9/2014 | 1 | severe migraine | immediate and severe vomiting, extreme dizziness, widespread itchiness for several hours. Extreme drowsiness. | At a clinic to get relief from a 3rd day migraine I was given dilaudid in a shot in place of regular morphine which is what I had recieved in the past. Morphine had no side effects except for drowsiness and itching. Dilaudid caused immediate vomiting and dizziness. Had to be brought to the car in a wheel chair with a plastic container. Could not move for at least 2 hrs without dizziness and vomiting. Did eliminate the pain of the migraine, but not sure if it was actually worth it. Do not know why the change from regular morphine. | F | 43 | 1 days 1X O | 10/26/2013 | 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 | 1 | stomache,abdomen pain | Extreme headache immediately following IV injection, which both Doctor and nurse denied | F | 57 | 1 days iv injecti | 8/3/2013 | 1 | For spinal headache | Felt extreme heavy pressure in my arms and legs and a numbness in my face which was then followed shortly after by respiratory arrest. Simply awful. | F | 27 | 1 days | 7/23/2013 | 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 | 1 | Severe neck and shoulder pains | Went in for severe pain, told the doc and nurses I have a sensitivity to pain meds, and that I have asthma and heart palps. Nurse brushed it off and said I would be fine. Asked what the side effects were and was told nausea given anti nausea meds then given dilaudid in a shot. Had feeling like I had to pee but couldn't go, stomach cramped up really bad, body shook all over, couldnt open my eyes, hands froze up in a peculiar way, had to reverse it twice and two and a half months later and thousands of dollars later......same symptoms.....this drug should be illegal!!!! | F | 34 | 1 days na | 4/18/2013 | 1 | lower flank pain | I died in the ER.

Given IV Dilaudid for pain. Immediately was unable to breathe, total body cramp, felt like a clamp was on the back of my neck, head going to explode. Told it was normal and to just calm down. Within two hours started a seizure on my right side, high BP, 170 heart rate. Been experiencing increasingly worse seizures ever since. Numerous hospitalizations. Now diagnosed with abnormal electric activity on the left side of my brain. Will be taking anti-seizure meds for the rest of my life.

Couldn't walk, no strength for a long time(6 weeks) | I would never take it again, The morphine didn''t work, but dilaudid almost ended my life. I was so glad my sister was next to me and saw the effects. No doctor or nurse was checking or monitoring. Everyone should have someone near by and know the signs of shutting down( dying). I really know how quickly I was dying. | F | 60 | 1 times 2mg 1X day | 11/2/2011 | 1 | Emergency Room Visit | I am an endocrine patient and my pills were not working so my body started shutting down. I went to the ER and they rushed me right in and gave me 1 dose of Dilaudid which caused instant vomiting and within 3 minutes i was in full heart failure.

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 1X day | 8/23/2011 |
