 5  Migraines Pain relief. I've had debilitating migraines since I was 15. I've tried it all. Dilaudid is the only medicine that will 100% of the time get rid of the migraine. Pill form works but IV meds stop the migraine in less than 10 minutes. Now, however, it is near impossible to find a dr. who will prescribe it. This is very unfortunate for the people who need it and do not abuse it. F 31 1 years

 5  Chronic back pain due to a MVA When I first started to take it I was on 2mg but I have developed a tolerance cause I have been taking it for so long. I usually take 6 mg now. Sometimes I feel like I'm ''stoned'' I get severely itchy so I take 50mg of benadryl to ease the itching. My rate and depth of breathing also decreases. I have tried so many other pain Meds and this is the only one that works for me. F 25 2 years

 1  for abdominal pain extreme respiratory depression, nearly had a heart attack, and almost died from my heart, lungs, shutting down. Couldn't walk, no strength for a long time(6 weeks) I would never take it again, The morphine didn''t work, but dilaudid almost ended my life. I was so glad my sister was next to me and saw the effects. No doctor or nurse was checking or monitoring. Everyone should have someone near by and know the signs of shutting down( dying). I really know how quickly I was dying. F 60 1 times

 1  Emergency Room Visit I am an endocrine patient and my pills were not working so my body started shutting down. I went to the ER and they rushed me right in and gave me 1 dose of Dilaudid which caused instant vomiting and within 3 minutes i was in full heart failure. Because of this drug i now live my life with a pacemaker/defibrillator due to them giving me this drug i had 10 heart failures with at least ( I have trouble remembering things) 3 of them resulting in paddles to bring me back to life.

 1  ER Visit for Back Injury Felt slight tingling sensation when the it was administered via IV, then room was spinning for about an hour but the pain went away. After an hour started experiencing nausea and tremors, then difficulty breathing, vomiting, and anxiety. Was administered a second dose against my wishes and suffered severe chest constriction and depressed heart rate. For the next few days after my release felt the after effects with dry mouth, bloody nose, severe migraines, dizziness, and blurry image. I am generally healthy, fit, with no prior allergies or any reactions to other pain medications. F 20 1 days

 5  chronic Rheumatoid arthritis I went to the e.r. One evening with chronic pain and Rheumatoid flare up this last winter and Idk why but I always remember what I'm givin' because I am allergic to some medications. This medication had a good effect and a bad effect. It was very nice that it didn't give me a head-rush or made me (excuse me) retarded/ lethargic. . . But it did give me the worse dehydrated feeling the next day... I was dehydrated the night-of but was hooked up to a i.v. Of saline. So I am not sure why but that was the only effect my body had.

 1  gallbladder surgery DID NOT WORK! the nurses didnt believe me until a pain specialist confirmed that it's rare, but can happen. I was in complete raw post-surgical pain for 6 hours before they gave me something else. I went into shock because of my pain and that's when they finally realized I wasn't just a druggie wanting another drug. IT DID NOTHING! not even a slight feeling for drowsiness or pain relief. the worst experience of my life. I have the same reaction to morphine too. They might as well just put water in my IV because this drug was useless to me. i had 6 hours of screaming and crying like a baby before they gave me demerol. F 25 1 days

 1  I went into the ER with back pain after being administered the medication, through an injection in the arm, I immediately experienced nausea, vomiting, and severe tremors. My body had been experincing withdrawl symptoms for the past seven days. This includes periods of euphoria, shakes, lightheadedness, dry mouth, and sleeplessness. I am not sure what body type I have, but I had a very bad reaction to this medication. I was giving benedryl to counter the side effects, but it only helped slightly. The only comfort is, that I will get through this. F 37 1 days

 5  Kidney Stone Nausea, sinking feeling, visual blurriness, dry mouth, lightheadedness, slight itching at injection site, definite sensation of being "stoned." In ER, was given Toradol 30mg and Zofran 4mg for pain and nausea related to possible kidney stone. The Toradol worked very well and eliminated 90% of the pain. CT scan revealed a 5mm stone in the left kidney and was given Dilaudid 2mg subcutaneously prior to discharge home. The subcutaneous administration, which was suggested by the nurse and approved by the treating doctor, was an excellent choice for extended pain control. Was able to sleep comfortably at home and managed to make it into the urologist's office the next morning with minimal residual pain. Of the side effects the only one which was annoying was the nausea, which I had from the kidney stone to begin with and seemed enhanced by the Dilaudid. Nurse suggested sucking on a peppermint if the nausea returned when I got home and that really helped. M 36 1 days
