| 1 | migraine in ER | uncomfortably high and dizzy, very short acting, migraine rebound is equal or worse than originally | way too strong in knocking you out of it (i am used to fiorinal3 or tylenol3), successfully covers pain quickly but completely not worth the experience because migraine comes right back | F | 51 | 1 days | 8/7/2009 | 4 | kidney stones | I had taken this medication before and had little to no side effects, however was surprised to find that I woke up in the middle of the with a SEVERE migraine headache, which is ironic because I keep reading all these posts about how wonderful it is for treating migraines. I am a migraine sufferer and am curious to try dilaudid again for a migraine, because maybe the headache was kidney stone related? | F | 22 | 1.5 days | 8/1/2009 | 5 | Damage of S1 nerve root (back) | constipation (I use Miralax and Colace with great success) | I was a prisoner to chronic pain. I have many medication allergies including Percocet and Morphine. I took Tylenol w/Codeine for 3 years. After my Physician convinced me to try Dilaudid I wouldn't go back to anything else. After stopping the Codeine I realized how much GI distress it caused along with headaches. I have no side effects and my pain is manageable. I am also an RN (that's how I injured my back)and was afraid because Dilaudid is a major narcotic, but it works for me without causing any drowsiness or sedation. I am alert and can drive. | F | 47 | 5 years | 7/28/2009 | 4 | Back pain / hand injury | constipation, head ache, depression, | After a crushing injury to my hand I was given morphine in the ambulance then I was transfered to a Care Flight helicopter (several bones were turned to powder and I was bleeding from an artery) and in the helicopter I was given Dilaudid. Dilaudid did fantastic job of relieving pain. after the hand injury I was perscribed it in a lowed dose for my back pain from an injury 10 years earlier. I stopped taking Dilaudid because of the side effects specifically the depression with the head ache a close second. I still use and prefer Dilaudid for break through pain with a pain level 5 or up. | M | 38 | 2 days | 4/29/2009 | 4 | Fall/Injury | Warm, flush sensation, nothing ill toward. | M | 39 | 4 times | 4/17/2009 | 3 | post-op ortho surgery | Awful unrelenting nausea and vomiting, severe sedation | It was probably a combo of coming off general anesthesia and the dilaudid PCA, but I was so incredibly sick I almost wanted to die. It helped with my pain but also knocked me out and caused me to vomit for days | F | 24 | 1 days | 11/30/2008 | 5 | severe back pain | trouble urinating, weak flow starting and stopping | whats the difference of regular vs hp? | M | 52 | | 11/28/2008 | 1 | post bilateral mastectomy | Insane itching on my trunk then all over, from my scalp to my toes. The itch felt like it was on the inside of my body so nothing helped it. I had small waves of some type of numbness from my head down my face. That did not hurt, it was just a strange sensation. All this ended when they took me off of it. | I was on the pump. I woke up in recovery in severe pain. Further doses over the next few days didn't really seem to help the pain. I was switched to another drug after they realized I was having a bad reaction to the Dilaudid. For me, the newer drug worked much better. | F | 49 | 3 days | 11/4/2008 | 5 | Groin pain, testicle pain | Other than the typical narcotic buzz, nothing. | This is some great medication to kill pain. I got an IV shot in the ER and it stopped the pain dead in its tracks. I've had no side effects at all, have found this drug to be a godsend. | M | 45 | 1 days | 9/12/2008 | 5 | back surgery recovery | i didnt have any side effects. i woke up in the recovery room in pain that i cannot describe after back surgery. (L4/L5 laminectomy) morphine, demerol... nothing took the pain away and tho i didnt realize it at the time, i thought i was moaning when i woke up. my husb said he could hear me outside the double doors! i remember hearing the name DILAUDID and the nurse asking me if i was allergic or ever had it or wanted some. i said YES GOD give me whatever you have, i am about to die. NEEDLESS to say, she put it in my IV and i woke up some time later in my room. i was tucked in my bed.... and out of pain. when it wore off they began a regimen of 20MG oxiconting (time releaseed) every 12 hours: 2- 10 mg lortab every 4 hours: and 2 5mg oxycodone every other 4 hours when i wasnt taking the lortabs. All i know is that was in March 2008 and it is now September and I am still in pain. even by taking soma, loritab and NSAIDS........ i wish i had my own dilaudid for the night time when i | F | 37 | 1 times | 9/3/2008 | 1 | after surgery | panic ,could not stay still,horrible | not for me | F | 48 | 1 times | 8/10/2008 | 5 | Severe GI tract Pain | withdraw effects after being off it. | This was given to me through an IV at the hospital for 5 days. It worked wonderfully. Your body/brain does need to be opiate tolerant to handle narcotics though. This is a potent analgesic. The only bad thing, as with any narcotic, is the withdraw. That cleared up in a few days though and consisted of mainly a "wanting or needing" the drug after I was home. | M | 39 | 5 days | 8/2/2008 | 5 | Back Injury and Endometrisis | Short acting compared to other narcotics, headache | Did not make me sleepy or feel "drugged". In fact I went from grumpy and in tremendous pain, to feeling like my happy self. You would never know I was on medication. I felt "normal" the only problem was it was short acting and I did develope a bad headache that was relieved with 2 Excedrin.....however, I am no stranger to headaches/migraine. Unlike other narcotics, constipation wasn't an issue either......TMI? | F | 40 | 5 days | 7/16/2008 | 3 | MCL strain and ACL tear | nausea, sweating, dizziness, hot flashes, light-headed | I went to the ER after I injured my knee (not knowing what had happened yet) and they gave me an injection. I got a little light-headed at first but nothing bad. After we left the hospital to get my crutches I started sweating profusely and dry-heaving. I couldn't talk well and we had to pull over multiple times because I thought I was going to throw up. I was very disoriented and it took a good 30-45 minutes for it to pass. It helped with the pain, but the side effects were too unbearable for me to think about taking it again. | F | 26 | 1 times | 5/29/2008 | 2 | Post- surgery pain | I did not like the feeling of not being able to keep my eyes open while at the same time feeling wide awake. I did not notice much pain reduction. | F | 51 | 1 times | 11/25/2007 | 1 | PCA Post Surgical Knee Replacement | Difficulty breathing. Two episodes of gasping for breath requiring the respiratory team to be called to the hospital room STAT. Felt like throat was closing up completely. | It was hard for them to diagnose as a reaction to Dilaudid since I had been receiving the drug since surgery (5:00 PM on Monday). On Tuesday morning I begin to have a hard time breathing (felt like I could not get a good breath). During physical therapy (I had just used the PCA prior to Physical therapy coming to my room) I had a very hard time breathing. Around 4:30 that evening I was experiencing surgical pain and used my PCA again, within 10 minutes I could not breath at all, gasping for breath. They increased my oxygen and put a humidifier on the oxygen and gave me a shot of morphine. The last episode occurred around 7:30. I was again experiencing surgical pain and pressed the PCA on recommendation of my nurse. Again, with 5-10 minutes I began to experience the same thing again. I could feel it coming on this time. I could not get a breath at all, it was like my throat had completed closed up. They removed my PCA and gave me a “breathing treatment”. Eventually | F | 63 | 2 days | 11/23/2007 | 2 | post-op | Helped with pain issue but side effects horrible.Delusional thoughts,halutionations,paranoia. | F | 47 | 2 days | 11/13/2007 | 2 | post surgery | 2 psychotic episodes, hallucinations, panic attack | worked for a few days, then the episodes happened. Changed off to Vycodan, which was OK. | F | 87 | 3 days | 9/30/2007 | 3 | Migraine | The medication worked fine, but I felt it was serious overkill. Plus I learned later that I had medication overuse migraines. The after effects of a narcotic when I don't take them for anything else were that my Medication Overuse Headaches got worse, became almost daily instead of bi-weekly. Since this happened after the medication and not before, I can only assume it was partially the cause. | F | 42 | 1 times | 8/13/2007 | 4 | migraine | Withdraw if not taken constantly. Must always make doctors appointment on a timely basis so as to not be caught short. | This has been a life saver to give me a normal life again. I have been taking stadol for a longer time period but it was so expensive | 47 | 6 months | 7/24/2007 |
