Is demerol a safe alternative for those allergic to codiene, morphine etc.?

I had halluciations with this medication, and was told that many people have
the same effects. They give it to a lot of people after surgery, and they don't realize that it is the demerol, and not the anesthetic, that is making them feel so out of it. Try it first on a limited basis, before you get a whole prescription filled. You might have to try methadone, although, I have never tried it. Or Tylenol #3 or #4. Also, these are just suggestions, as I have not tried either of them, and do not know your pain level. Hope this helps!
