| 4 | head and neck pain | u get tired and stuff and you sleep for up to 8 hours sometimes | i would take it again sometimes but not more than once of a month if less cuz sometimes once you take it on a regular basis it gets to the point where its the only thing that works and what the hell kinda life is that | F | 18 | 6 months | 9/26/2003 | 5 | kidney stones | Intravenous: Very sleepy. Everything slowed down. Take-home prescription: Severe constipation. Gradually decreasing effects. Difficult to stop. | I have chronic kidney stones. Demerol is perfect when given as a one-time dose for severe pain while I am having a kidney stone attack. When I have doses administered to me for a longer period of time it becomes more difficult. I get agitated. However, it is a necessary evil, because weaker painkillers like Vicodin barely dull the pain, especially when a large stone has completely blocked the kidney. | M | 25 | 7 days | 7/12/2003 | 1 | Hemorrhoidectomy | I went into a spiral of depression and anxiety. I was fine before the operation and a week after I am feeling very depressed and anxious. It made me very sleepy while I was taking it. | The possibility of causing panic and depression should make this a last resort medication. Needless to say, I won't ever take this medication again. | M | 37 | 2 days | 6/17/2003 | 1 | pain after c-section | sudden onset of first time panic attack, nervous, anxious, dizzy, vision and auditory comprehension difficuly, inability to concentrate, loss of appetite, unable to sleep although exhausted, dry mouth, excessive sweating, depression, change in personality,uncontrollable tremors. | I would never allow this drug to be administered to me again. I actually felt as though I was going to die during the panic attack. I lost 28 pounds in the week after delivering my baby and I weighed 173 at 39 weeks and usually weigh 140lbs. I am almost back to my normal self after delivering my baby 2 weeks ago. I would rather have experienced the pain than to have gone through that hell for three days. It was a very rough start to second time motherhood. | F | 41 | 2 days | 5/23/2003 | 1 | Adult Toneillectomy Pain | I was given liquid demerol after lortab made me itch. The demerol made me feel dizzy and very nauseous. I also had some severe stomach pains after eating crackers to try to settle my nauseous stomach. | F | 31 | 2 days | 4/27/2003 | 1 | Severe Abdominal Pains | Extreme dizziness, unable to speak, unable to lift hands, legs or sit forward, terrible shaking of boby and what was more frightening was the fact that I was also having difficulty breathing. These symptoms made me feel as if I was an a seizure. I also had the contiuous starring primarly on an angle. With my personal experience I was very displeased. | I'm sure it works for many people, but I'm probably one of the perentage that experiences it different. However, that was my first time having to take that med and from the experience that I had I surely think it would be my last. | F | 26 | 1 days | 4/3/2003 | 3 | crohn's pain | None that I noticed. | Doesn't last long. Everytime you need more and more to control the pain. | F | 20 | 2 months | 1/21/2003 | 2 | Shoulder/neck pain | Makes me very hyper, soar throat and bad taste in my mouth along with dry mouth | really has not helped my pain at all | F | 34 | 14 days | 10/29/2002 | 5 | chronic neck and back pain | Dry mouth, drowsiness, increased appetite, and bowel movements. | Short acting. | F | 21 | 1.5 years | 8/13/2002 |
