| 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 | 3 | Gallbladder surgery abdominal pain | Tiredness | F | 31 | 9 days .04 | 7/16/2015 | 3 | 1 fusion 2 more ruptured disc | I'm wondering if anyone has had twitching in your neck area? I've had my pump since November 4. Went and got the pump refilled yesterday. They upped it from 2.5 to 7.5ngs a day. Now my neck and head are twitching? Anyone else had this? | M | 49 | 1 days 7.5 mg | 7/2/2015 | 3 | back pain | The medication helped only a little bit. The problem was that I had to take so much oral to work and it didn't last that long. The long acting dialiud is worthless. I was taking 2× 32mg a day. The I.R was better relief then the E.R. Anyway I was a little tired and had weird dreams. | Me and my doctor honestly thought that going from oxycodone to Dialiud would work better because it's much stronger. That's always not the case. I know everyone is different but after reading so many others response to dialiud, I was surprised to what I read. So many others though the Samething as me. That dialiud's half life was very poor and that it really didn't help with the pain compared to oxycodone. The I.V dialiud was so much more effective and I didn't need a much. Compared to the 32mg oral I was taking. I only needed 8 mg of I.V to equal that. I wish they could formulate the oral like the I.V. It would really be a great pain medication if they could do that. But the half life is crap and it also has low Bio. | M | 46 | 5 weeks 32 | 6/29/2015 | 5 | chronic pancreatitis | Minimum itching | Pain management won't prescribe keep wanting to try nerve block because of all the idiots with pill problems making it impossible for people like me that the dilauded is all that works so trying to find a primary doc that will understand and believe I'm not a addict just looking to get high | M | 44 | 5 days 2mg Q2hrs | 6/19/2015 | 4 | Spine | Terrible mood but not sure if it's Dilaudid or gabapentin | Works well for pain | F | 49 | 2 days 40 | 5/30/2015 | 3 | Chronic back pain | Extreme itching | F | 54 | 4 days 2 mg | 5/20/2015 | 5 | Chronic back pain | Extra sleepy, feel like I can sleep standing up. | F | 39 | 1 days S | 5/15/2015 | 5 | migraines, post op pain, iv in er | First time I had this was after my hysterectomy, nurse pushed it way too fast and almost stopped my heart. I usuallyget this in IV form in the ER for migraines that last weeks. I always make sure they give me the anti-nausea meds first to stop any vomiting and headache nausea. I get compozine, dilauded, toradol, and benadryl (in that order) and the headache stops immediately. The cocktail makes me very tired, but sleep is best for migraines anyway. The benadryl helps with the itching, too. | I have so many drug allergies that finding a cocktail that works is a miracle. I just wish drs would stop treating me like an addict because I ask for what works and what I'm not allergic too. I have a great neuro that closely monitors my meds just to prevent addiction. I've tried occipital nerve blocks and many other treatments. Can't afford Botox. Will stick with what works. | F | 44 | 1X day | 5/5/2015 | 5 | Rhuematoid Arthritis | Constipation, random heart palpatations, rash in groin | Been in pain management for 11 yrs and dilaudid is the best relief ive ever gotten! Take with 10mg methadone | M | 43 | 1 months 4mg | 2/25/2015 | 4 | Acute Pancreatitis | Mild Itching, Constipation | Morphine was not strong enough and made me Nauseous. Dilaudid great but only lasted 1.5 hours had to go another 1.5 hour wait for next shot. Was prescribed 1ml every 3 hours. Was hospitalized for Acute Pancreatitis for about two 20 day stretches almost back to back with 5 day in between stretches. | M | 49 | 40 days 1mg IV 8X day | 2/20/2015 | 4 | Severe digital ulcers - Scleroderma | none | My ulcer on my first finger was excruciating, to the point where I asked my doc to chop off my finger. She wisely suggested we get the pain under control before such a drastic measure. She prescribed Dilaudid 4mg every 4 hours. At first, after researching on the net, I was reluctant to take it so I only took half the prescription (2mgs). While the pain lessened it was not under control. Pharmacist kindly reinforced the need to take meds as prescribed (4mgs). Pain now under control as long as I do not skip doses. Wound clinic suggests I take the meds before coming in for next treatment. I will. For my severe pain, so far this medicine works. I will only be using the meds short term, hopefully I'll not have withdrawal symptoms as described, but if so, so be it. | F | 47 | 6 days 4mg | 2/7/2015 | 5 | ruptured ovarian cyst | Heavy ness on the right side of my body, tightness in my throat, unsteady, sleepy, wild dreams, some itching, out of it for about 24 hours. | I had never had any type of pain meds besides otc. I went into the emergency room with sever pain about an 8 and within seconds of a small, diluted dose of dilaudid I relaxed and was at a low 2. I slept for most of the next 48 hours. 4 days later I am having stomach cramps, constipation, goosebumps, nausea, tremors. I haven't taken anything else so I assume these are side effects as well. It worked well but I am a little worried about my lingering side effects. | F | 36 | 1 times 1X O | 1/19/2015 | 5 | pain from lung cancer | Slight constipation but, preferred over the other, lol... Had to get treatment for severe pain from my physician because my pain management Dr didn't seem to comprehend my level of pain? I would be in tears n he still wouldn't treat sufficiently. He thought I just wanted pills. Sad they think that way these days. The addicts make it nearly impossible for those of us with the"Real" pain. Although a lot of patients I've talked to with say this Dr is just a, well enough of him. Going through my tomotherapy right and pain is being controlled on a livable level. God bless and tx everyone! | M | 54 | 2 months 4mg | 12/6/2014 | 4 | Had both feet, major surgery, pins. | Major surgery, have taken before, now if take causes red, itch, but goes away, have used everthing, thought was just m, tablets causes redness, the IV didnt cause any redness, had to be given IV benedryl?? Have chronic back issues, I do see a pain mgmt Dr., | F | 64 | 1 months | 10/2/2014 | 4 | gallbladder | Hospitalized for gallstone blocking liver duct, which resulted in jaundice and infection of the gallbladder, and start of pancreatitis. Once admitted from er, doctor only gave me half the recommended dose of 2 mg. Relieved my pain, but would give me huge head rush when administered. Also had sever itching, but was most likely caused by the jaundice since I was already itching.. Next day, the new doctor put me on the full 2 mg dose to ensure pain management. Within 10 seconds of the full dose being administered, I was doubled over in horrible pain from back spasms. This would only last for about a minute, but happened with each dose, so I was given a dose of valium beforehand. Never heard of pain meds CAUSING pain. BUT.... once the spasms stopped, my pain was relieved. Some nausea, but was on Iv anti nausea meds. I give it a higher rating because it did make the pain go away until they were able to get my surgery done. Everyone reacts differently with meds, I guess I just have a weird reaction. For my own reaction, I would not take it again. | F | 29 | 5 days 1-2mg | 8/28/2014 | 4 | Pancreatectomy | Very Addictive! I took as rx'd or less than rx'd and had horrible withdrawal!!!! Insomnia, vomiting,diarrhea, bloody noses, body aches, huge body temperature fluctuations,heart palpitations, anxiety,extreme restlessness etc... | F | 30 | 2 months 2mg | 7/24/2014 | 4 | Knee replacement sorry | Am taking 2 mg every 3 hrs have experienced nausea and loss of appetite | F | 72 | 1 months 2 mg. 3 ev | 7/11/2014 | 5 | Multiple Sclerosis pain | Constipation, dry mouth | It wakes me up and I feel normal for a few hours. | F | 52 | 4 years 10 2X day | 7/1/2014 | 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 |
