| 5 | Breakthrough pain from AS | Dizziness, warm feeling all over. | I use this maybe once or twice a year when my Norco is unable to make my breakthrough pain from my ankylosing spondilitis manageable again and I am unable to get into my pain dr. (He is only in on Monday through Thursday as he is also a chronic pain sufferer but he is the best pain management specialist I have ever had). | M | 38 | 6 years | 1/10/2006 | 4 | Surgery | Stress Relief | One of the best painkillers out there since diamorphine was still sold in coughsyrups. Certainly beats Laudanum which hasn't been sold since my grandma was still young (I found some bottles in her closet after she passed away). | F | 54 | 12 days | 10/24/2005 | 4 | Coccys absciss | mild euphoria, extreme drowsiness... | This medication was the only one that helped relieve the pain i was feeling prior to, during, and after surgery on my coccys (removal of a cyst)... It helped me sleep, and I did dream normally...I wa sable to lie down and stand without extreme pain and undergo my treatment post surgery... | F | 21 | 7 months | 7/3/2005 | 5 | Kidney Stones | Total relief of pain and anxiety | M | 47 | 1 days | 6/8/2005 | 1 | pain after total knee arthroplasty | disorientation, nausea, low blood pressure (lowest was 88/45). Dementia-like behavior, hallucinations, irrational fear, anxiety, panic attack. | I wouldn't touch this or any other similar drugs ever again. | F | 77 | 2.5 days | 2/16/2005 | 4 | Recreation, menstrual cramps | Extreme Euphoria, slight nausia but very comfortable. After throwing up, you feel absolutly amazing. Your body feels like its floating. You get quite itchy but it feels really satisfying to scratch. Amazing dreams and visions. | One of the best drugs i have ever done. VERY ADDICTIVE but one pill can last through the whole night. You become more and more tollerable so your dossage may have to be increased. | M | 19 | 2 months | 2/3/2005 | 4 | Stomach pain | Nausea, vomiting, severe headache | Had problems with gallstones a couple of years ago and was given 2mg tablets. The dilaudid did a great job of getting rid of the pain but ended up with a severe headache afterwards (though not as painful as the stones). I've been still having abdominal pains and have been given dilaudid injections twice, both times I experience nasty nausea and vomiting. | M | 35 | 2 times | 2/1/2005 | 4 | severe chronic pain disease | nausea, vomiting, excessive thirst, memory loss | I take Dilaudid so I can have some type of quality of life & without it, I would be in excruciating pain. I suffer from DDD, RSD (CRPS) & MS. Though it allows me to live pain free, its very hard on my body and mind. For myself, the first two hours of absorbtion cause a frenzy talkative stimulated effect, and Im burning up hot like on a desert. I also have excessive thirst and hunger. Even though I take Phenergan with every dose to help the nausea, I still vomit often. Ive noticed it happens more with increased motion. I have a calmer sense after the first two hours go by. It last about 6-8 hours for me. Sleep? I can't sleep till it starts wearing off. I also am beginning to have serious memory loss...my dog's name, my mother's phone number, what I was doing, difficult to recall specific words or vocabulary when I , at one time, had an extensive vocabalary. Im forced to choose a simpler elementary word to express myself. I often forget what Im talking about in mid sentence. Ive been told the memory loss from using this drug long term is permanent. Maybe I'll one day forget Im in pain. This drug isn't enjoyable or a high for me. Its only a means to stop the insane pain. If you dont suffer severe intractable pain, stay away from Dilaudid. | F | 46 | 2 years | 1/27/2005 | 4 | Atachnodiitis | Nausea, constipation, fatigue | Excellent pain med for breakthrough pain | F | 42 | 5 years | 1/19/2005 | 5 | | 1/17/2005 | 5 | post thoracotomy pain | sleepiness | F | 35 | 5 days | 12/14/2004 | 5 | P.O. pain | None, mild euphoria | Works better then percocet or oxycontin for a take home pain killer for P.O. pain. | M | 23 | 1 months | 11/5/2004 | 5 | pain | none | good stuff | M | 38 | 7 times | 10/15/2004 | 1 | In ER for extreme heache - IM Injec | A terrible | F | 53 | 1 days | 9/25/2004 | 4 | kidney stones | dizziness, slight nausea, hallucinations, dry mouth, sleepiness | as a chronic sufferer of kidney stones for 14 years.. i have had every kind of pain killer imaginable and this one seems to work the best for me. | F | 31 | 2 days | 9/21/2004 | 5 | severe chronic pain | sleeping, drooling | very good at taking away the nagging burning pains in legs and back | F | 25 | 7 weeks | 7/6/2004 | 4 | Back Disease | Early stages; Insomnia, Naseau, Vomiting, Constipation-dry stool, Kills sexual libido&impotence. Long Term; Insomnia, Constipation-dry stool, head aches, No sexual libido&impotence, Always hot-night sweats, Memory loss. | When taking Dilaudid, your sleep will be completely screwed up. If you actually can sleep, your sleep will be heavy and almost dreamless. Your mind never fully gets proper REM sleep, making your body feel like it hasn't had a good sleep in along time. Forget about watching movies, because someone will ask you ten minutes after its over about a certain part, and you wont remember much at all. After extended use, you become almost emotionless,where as what used to get you extremely excited, eg; when your favorite hockey team scores the overtime winning goal- You dont feel any rush of excitement, or adreniline. The same goes with movies, or any television you would really enjoy. You watch feeling almost emotionless through the entire thing,when you would normally be excited. And your memory won't be there. There's alot more i could go on about this drug for which i am so familiar with, but im sure there's a space limit. | M | 29 | 7 years | 4/10/2004 | 5 | back pain | constipation, ocassional nausea, mild insomnia | this medicine was a good alternative to oxycontin. It had similiar pain relief values with a lesser potential for nausea. | M | 23 | 1 years | 10/31/2003 | 5 | to get wasted | costs too much | excellent high | F | 22 | 10 days | 2/26/2003 | 4 | Crohn's pain | itchiness | F | 20 | 2 months | 1/21/2003 |
