 5  post surgery epidural Itching, unusual dreams/nightmares, out of it twilight sleep/nod feeling, extreme numbness waist down, urinary retention, hypnagogic hallucinations Worked pretty well for pain in an epidural, but man, it was WEIRD. It seemed to cast me in that Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd video, but then again, I just had surgery and the pain was TERRIBLE. I would reccomend it, but after surgery, you dont have much choice in what they put in your IV. Probably about interchangeable with other strong opioids. M 27 4 days
