DEMEROL  (MEPERIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE):  Meperidine is used to help relieve moderate to severe pain. It may also be used before and during surgery or other procedures. Meperidine belongs to a class of drugs known as opioid (narcotic) analgesics and is similar to morphine. It works in the brain to change how your body feels and responds to pain. Meperidine should not be used to treat long-term or ongoing pain. It should only be used to treat sudden episodes of moderate to severe pain. See also Precautions section.    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Appendectomy Convulsions, hallucinations and inability to concentrate; I was totally unable to communicate. Side effects (finally) stopped when I was switched to morphine. Demerol for me was the worst nightmare of my life. The hospital staff claimed no knowlege of similar cases, seems unlikely; I've talked to others! They assumed I was suffering D.T.'s but I don't drink... M 17 2 days

 1  Appendectimy They gave it to me right before surgery in my IV. Right after I took it I started freaking out and trying to pull out my IV. I would fall asleep every few seconds and then suddenly wake up and forget where I was. The whole time I had the worst drymouth. Didn't help that all they could do me was let me have a few licks of an ice cube since it was before surgery and I couldn't have liquids. I don't remember most of it or how long it lasted but it was definitely scary. M 15
