How strong is Dilaudid for pain compared to Percocet?

all prescription pain killers can be compared in effectiveness. because all drugs have slightly different affinity for the site at which they work in the body, they can be dosed at different milligrams. it is common for pain management doctors to switch between drugs and an equivalent amount of analgesia can be predicted. for instance 2mg of hydromorphone (dilaudid) is about equivalent to 10mg of oxycodone (percocet). pain management is a delicate process that is tailored to each patient by their physician.

I get horrible migraines and when i can't take it anymore i end up in the hospital and when they injected dilaudid iv i started to feel relief within 20 minutes. The triptans just don't work for me unfortunately and thats all the dr's want to give me. Very frustrating-especially if u find something that helps relieve the pain.
