 3  Post ortho surgery I was constantly itchy, often nauseated, and experienced very frightening hallucinations twice during the time I was taking Dilaudid. Immediately following surgery I was given Dilaudid and Valium. That took care of the pain. I was told to take 2mg Dilaudid every 1 to 2 hours for the next two weeks along with Tramadol every 6 hours. Also, I could take 2 Dilaudids at once if needed. I did that twice when experiencing severe pain and this resulted in hallucinations. F 51 2 weeks

 5  Back Pain Destroyed Stomach, Vomitting, Anxiety Attacks, but Great Pain Relief This medication is very addictive and I would not recommend it unless you use it for legitimate pain reasons. It works very well for my lower back pain but I have developped harsh stomach conditions that I do not have the explanation for. I have lost so much weight in the past 6 years because of stress due to an abusive relationship I was in. I don't think I would have survived the abuse if I was not on this drug. Now I am much better with that but I'm scared to stop. Anyone with similar stomach problems and using this or hydromorph contin, please email. F 27 5 years

 4  ER visit - back, ER visit - knee First time I was administered this was after I threw my back out in 1998. I was breastfeeding my 4 month old daughter at the time and rolled over while in a side laying position to adjust. The pain I had was unbearable sitting, standing, laying down. I was admitted and given this through IV and the relief was instant. It would make me fall asleep mid sentence though LOL. Since I was a mother of 5, and they had kept me over a week, I asked for a pill form so I could go home even though the pain had not subsided with physical therapy. They gave me Vicodin but that made the room spin, it was a completely different side effect to the sluggishness I felt with dilaudid IV. The second time I had dilaudid was for my knee yesterday. I have arthritis and my miniscous is gone so I was in extreme pain from my knee joints being bone on bone. I was overdosing on ibuprofen to no avail so having had the dilaudid work well 12 years ago I was relieved they were going to administer this for relief. It was a different experience though. I felt immediate mild pain as it rushed through every vein in my body, not excruciating, but irritating. I also felt like I was going to vomit, but attributed that to not having eaten for 9 hours also. Crackers helped with the nausea. Also the same sluggish or drugged up feeling as before, but oddly the pain relief was not the same. The prior back pain went from a 9 to complete relief, but the knee pain went from 7 to maybe a 4. Still feel "hung over" t F 42 1 days

 1  Pain In ER for ruptured ovarian cyst. Given IV Dilaudid for pain. Immediately was unable to breathe, total body cramp, felt like a clamp was on the back of my neck, head going to explode. Told it was normal and to just calm down. Within two hours started a seizure on my right side, high BP, 170 heart rate. Been experiencing increasingly worse seizures ever since. Numerous hospitalizations. Now diagnosed with abnormal electric activity on the left side of my brain. Will be taking anti-seizure meds for the rest of my life. Never stepped foot into an ER or had any medical issues before this event. F 21 1 days

 5  lyme disease/ severe chronic pain instant pain relief, nausea, Euphoric high This drug is amazing. I have had gallstones/kidney stones/ and now lyme disease. And Nothing else helps the pain like this drug does. I get severally nauseas so they always give me phenergan first. And then 2-4 mg of dilaudid. Depending on the Dr. A lot of drs and nurses say ppl fake in the er to get this drug( been there). But most actually need it and won't abuse it. It's the only one that works for me, and I have tried them all. F 24 1 days

 5  in ER with kidney stones It stopped the pain immediately, but I couldn't even open my eyes or raise a finger. It was great for the pain, but would hate to take it on a regular basis. I couldn't even walk. I felt a little out of it for a day or two, but not sure if it was the drug or just the trauma of the kidney stones. F 61
