Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I have had a chronic headache for ten years, as in I have not gone one single day without a headache in ten years. I get terrible terrible migraines, but also have advanced arthritis from C4-C7 with 3 bulging discs. (I'm 23 years old). I've been on everything under the sun that is non-addictive for migraine treatment in addition to Demerol, codeine Lortab, Percocet, Stadol, Nubain & Pentacozine. I was on 40mg hydrocodone each day which was effective but also took Excedrin, Midrin and Cephadyn on occasions so the acetaminophen effects worried me. My doctor switched me to Dilaudid 4mg four times daily and it works wonderfully without being so harsh on my liver. VERY effective at pain relief. Doesn't seem as habit-forming as the Lortabs-for me

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: In January 2009, I was prescribed Dilaudid 8mg (2 tabs 4X/day) to battle break-through pain, in conjunction with my constant regimen of OxyContin 80mg (2 tabs, 3X/day) therapy. It was as though I had been given a placebo. No effects - neither positive or negative. I have a high degree of opiate tolerance, which renders pain management a difficult chore. My doctor switched me over to morphine sulfate immediate release back in August (30mg, 2-3 tabs/every 3-4 hours), which (to my system, at least), is far more effective, despite the fact that Dilaudid's efficacy is about 6-7 times that of morphine's.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I SUFFER FROM CHRONIC BACK AND KNEE PAIN. HAD LOWER SPINAL FUSION, BOTH KNEES TOTALLY REPLACED AND STENOSIS IN MY UPPER NECK THAT FLARED UP ONCE TO THE POINT THAT THE PAIN WAS AGONY! THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I WAS GIVEN AN INJECTION OF DILAUDID AS OPPOSED TO MORPHINE. MORPHINE HAS NEVER TAKEN MY PAIN AWAY, IT JUST MADE ME NOT CARE THAT IT HURT, AND THE FIRST TIME I WAS INJECTED WITH DILAUDID, THE EFFECTS THE FIRST MINUTE SCARED ME, BUT I HAD A GREAT NURSE THAT WALKED ME THROUGH EVERYTHING I WAS GOING TO EXPERIENCE AND ASSURED ME THAT IN ONE MIN. IT WOULD PASS AND IT DID AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 12YRS. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINS I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN. ALSO TOOK THE PILLS FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH AND WORKED VERY WELL.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I had an abscessed streptococcus infection, which is a REALLY painful occurrence. They treated me with 2-10cc Dilaudid IV Injections, and it was really great. I got REALLY drowsy, but felt nothing, even when they stuck a HUGE needle into my insanely infected tonsil (It was only one tonsil). I went from a 9 on the pain scale to a 1 in ten minutes (or what I perceived as 10 minutes at least). I also hear about people getting very sick from hydromorphone. The staff at the Medical Center were great though. The technician who administered the drug in the ER knew just how to administer it to minimize nausea. I am definitely glad that they knew how much pain I was in an pulled no punches to treat it.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: After fracturing my L1,L2,L3,L4,L5 in a car accident two years ago, Dilaudid 4mg three times a day plus Methadone 10mg three times a day has been the ONLY combination that allows me to have a life. I've been through so many doctors, it's sad. Believe me, if I could be pain-free without medicines, I would. My pain level now is a steady 4. Before Dilauded, nothing worked.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: This drug is the first to relieve some of the severe symptoms associate with severe back and leg pain from a work-related injury. I found it to be effective in reducing the pain level from 10 to about 7 (1-10 pain scale). There were no side-effects that I am aware of when given an injection in the ED setting.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I had a severe ear infection and was given Norco. I am not a regular narcotic patient and knew Norco was fairly strong, but to no avail did it help my ear. It hurt like you'd not believe, and went to the emergency room for the pain I was experiencing in my right ear. I was given an IV of antibiotics and a dose of dilaudid as well. It helped so much that I even fell asleep while they probed my ear. The doctor ordered a second dose before I was released and then was placed back on Norco for 7 days. Again, 2 days later, my other ear became infected and was again admitted into the hospital for an examination. Another infected ear, the left side this time, and was treated with exactly the same medication with the same results. It works for me.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: This medicine has worked wonders on my chronic back pain. I have tried everything from Tramadol to Opana ER and for the price Roxicodone 30mg tops them all if taken as prescribed, and at the same time each day. The only downfall is that you must take the pills more frequently than say MS Contin or Oxycontin where you only need them every 12 hours. However that was my main problem with the Opana, Oxycontin, Etc., they didn't seem to last the full 12 hours as advertised. I was lucky if I got a good 8 hours from them.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I've got complex regional pain syndrome and it helps with the numbness in my leg but does not take away all of the burning sensation. After the Percocets quit working the doctor put me on Dilaudid #4's and the pain has been reduced some but I feel that I could use something even stronger. 1 every 6 hours helps but is still not enough.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I was in the ER the other day for a slipped disc, and pinched sciatic nerve. I was given 1mg of this through an IV. I have never take a pain medicine so effective! But I was in so much pain that I needed 1mg every hour for 3 hours. But the only side effect was that my face and body was itchy after the third mg.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: Dilauded is the only pain medication that offers me any type of relief. I herniated 3 discs in my lower back and I was on an IV of 2mg every 4 hours. Only con was it made my face very itchy. The second time I had an IV of Dilaudid was post spinal tap. I was given 1mg injection every 2 hours (lower dosage, more frequently made pain more manageable). I now have a prescription for 4mg every 3-4 hours for chronic back pain. I believe it has dramatically improved my quality of life.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: Take Dilaudid only when it's absolutely needed and necessary. It is not a drug meant for giving comfort, rather for pain level 7 or more on a scale of 1 to 10. For pain level of 5 or less, morphine, Percocet, or even Tylenol 3 will suffice.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I have had 12 hospital stays in the last 2.5 years each for at least 1 week due to Pancreatitis. During this time, I have had 4 surgeries (galbladder, 30% of Pancreas, Spleen, Gastric Obstruction) on top of these "visits". This is the only drug that actually works on the pain for me. It doesn't give you a light show like Demerol, it just kills the pain period.
Only con I see is that tolerance builds quickly. I usually need 2 mg every 3 hours to stay up on the pain, but I have been up as high as 4mg over 3 hours for a few days.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I have asthma and am in and out of the hospital often with bronchitis and pleurisy. Which if you don't know, pleurisy can be extremely painful. My Doctor orders 4 mg Dilaudid with 75 mg Phenergan IV every 4 hours as needed and it works almost immediately. It's about the only thing that gives me relief when the pleurisy gets to the point of hospitalization.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I went to the ER after a diverticulitis flare-up with severe abdomonal pain. Was given Dilaudid and Phenergen through an IV and the pain went away almost instantly!! The combination of the two worked wonders but only lasted for a couple of hours.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I have high pressure in my head from a brain injury last year. Morphine won't touch what Dilaudid can. It has worked great for my headaches which they say is the worst head pain ever experienced. So anyway a lot of narcotics will give me rebound pain but this one does not. Only side effects if not given with Zofran, it makes me vomit.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I developed horrendous headaches after a traumatic brain injury a year ago. After trying far too many non-narcotic alternatives and Percocets, interspersed with several trips a month to the ER for a shot of morphine, my doctors and I have come up with Dilaudid to deal with the bad headaches. I take a single 11mg dose of Dilaudid with two Dramamine and an Ativan, followed by a second Ativan 2 hours later. I go from agony to "let's go to Ikea" in about an hour. I do take a daily neurostimulant (300mg modafinal) for chronic fatigue that may offset the drowsiness you might expect from that combo, but it has been a huge gain for my quality of life. The trick seems to be to get enough Dilaudid at once to stop the pain.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: First experienced the benefits of this drug after my 10th spinal surgery. Relieved pain pretty quickly, but short lasting. It was given as break through in the hospital, via IV at first. Then the doctor scripted it to me as break through along with Percocet when I went home. I eventually had too many side effects from the Percocet. I just stuck with the Dilaudid taking it about every 5-6 hours.
Now I'm dealing with being "itchy" and think it may the Dilaudid. I had bad side effects from Vicodin after one of last year's surgeries. Now it seems I'm starting to have side effects from things I never used to be bothered by before.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: My husband had surgery to remove his prostate gland, bladder, and 12 inches of colon six months ago. He was hospitalized for nine days. His lower-back pain was excruciating, and morphine (controlling it himself) and various types of mattresses did nothing to make him comfortable. He was getting no sleep at all until the surgeon offered Dilaudid. It lasted for about 5 hours or so, and he could have it every 6 hours. It brought quick relief to the back pain and relaxed him enough to get decent amount of sleep after several days of terrible discomfort. No side effects for him either.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: My first kidney stone. Very painful. Went to ER since I didn't know what was happening. Cat scan = kidney stone ~2mm. I wasn't going to die and it would pass.
They 1st gave me IV morphine. That took the pain down about 20% to a manageable but still very painful level for about 10 minutes then it jumped back up as if I'd had nothing.
They then gave me Dilaudid saying it worked on different receptors. In 2 minutes the pain dropped about 75% and stayed down for about 4 hours until it wore off.
Dilaudid seems to work differently than morphine. A great and powerful medication.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I have a genetic condition that causes the rapid formation of kidney stones. I am 25, and three weeks ago I felt what would be my 8th stone starting to move. A CAT scan had already determined that all of my stones were 5mm or smaller, meaning that they would pass on their own and not warrant surgery. Well, this stone was very bad, and I ended up at the ER. After over four hours, I finally received 4mg of morphine through IV, which did absolutely nothing for me. The doctor was very surprised, and came back later with 3mg of Dilaudid through IV. It certainly helped, but it did not eliminate the pain. It took the pain from a 10 out of 10 to probably a 6 out of 10. It did allow me to relax and drink water to pass it.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I have a C-5/6/7 fusion with a titianium cage. Confirmed nerve damage at C-7 via nerve conduction study. Like most of you I've been on many types of pain medications. It is different for each and so is the tolerence. I am finally stable taking hydromorphone 8mg. and OxyContin 30 mg. I take them "backwards" meaning the hydromorphoe is for "base" pain and the OxyContin is taken at night so I can make it through the entire sleep cycle without waking up due to pain. I do not have breakthrough pain on this regiment and it is less expensive. Also please have your testosterone levels checked since these medications can lower it. I take Testim; a gel, that brings my levels back to normal. Testosterone affects your heart, mood and other functions.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: Dilaudid worked wonders for my kidney stones. I had a 8.5mm stone in my right kidney. They gave 2mg of Dilaudid through i.v. in ER and I didn't fill much pain after that.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I've been on pain medicines since I was 8, for degenerative disc disease. Starting when I was 24 and after surgery for herniated discs (L3-L4, L4-L5) I went through quite a few medicine trials before I found Ultram. This one worked great until my L5-S1 herniated and the last epidural I received triggered severe sciatic pain. After a visit to the ED, I was given Dilaudid 2mg intramuscularly and sent home with a script for the oral 2mg 1-2 tablets as needed. Between Ultram, Gabapentin and Dilaudid (alternating Ultram during the day and Dilaudid at night), I can still keep working for a little while longer until the next spinal surgery. Ultram does not replace Dilaudid, but I found it keeps me alert and pain level within my pain tolerance range.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I was given dilaudid by iv while I was pregnant, for gallstone pain. I was so depressed because I stayed sick and in pain and I couldn't experience the joys of being pregnant. But dilaudid allowed me to be a little bit more comfortable.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: For those in Canada suffering from chronic pain, the long-acting version, Hydromorph Contin, is wonderful when combined with the Dilaudid for breakthrough pain. I take 9mg (6mg 3mg pills) twice a day, plus the 4mg of dilaudid for the breakthrough pain. Only bad thing I can say about it is that my tolerance level for this, and other medications, is very high. And I'm only 27 years old.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I received 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree burns (10% Body - when water was split on my leg and lap) that ended up getting infected while on vacation. I had received some other medicines at 2 different ER visits before flying home (before the burns were infected), but when I arrived at my doctor he prescribed Dilaudid pills for me (2mg each to be taken 4 times daily). I about died each day. I could "fill them working for about 1-2 hours but the next 4-5 was torture. I soon changed to a "weaker drug" that worked better on me.
I have been given Dilaudid Shots of 2mg at the ER for migraines, but when taken orally the medicine does not go into the system fast enough or for long enough.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: Went to the ER because of sciatic nerve pressure for severe pain and multiple muscles spasms that would not stop. 2 injections of dilaudid had no effect at all. Tried some 4mg oral dilaudid tablets and no effect at all. This is most likely a very effective pain reliever but this indicates that not all pain relievers work on me. Doctors don't believe me so I almost always refuse to take any pain medication. I think I need to be studied.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I am a 62-yr old woman with a number of health-related issues that cause chronic and sometimes acute pain; including three herniated disks (C3-C6), lower back pain and bad knees. Percocet, Darvocet and Vicodin upset my stomach, so I've only been on Lodine 2x day for the past two years. My doctor suggested a trial on Dilaudid - 2mg to 4mg every 4-6 hours until I can have a knee replacement. 2mg did not make me pain-free, but definitely was an improvement. However, 4mg allowed me to walk without pain for the first time in months. It makes me sleepy, but aside from that there have been no unpleasant side effects. Dilaudid is a wonder drug for anyone who experiences chronic pain.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: This drug is very effective. I had surgery earlier today
on my rectum, and I get complete relief from four milligrams taken by mouth. The sole side effect appears to be a degree of sleepiness, but compared to other drugs of similar potency, this one seems to induce minimal impairment. The horrors (hallucinations) are readily controlled by a small amount of valium.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) : I have an anal-rectal abscess, and as you can imagine, it is debilitatingly painful. Once it is drained, all will be well, but the thing is, the doctors cannot drain it until it is 'ripe', which won't be for another 3-4 days. 3 days ago, after having this thing growing in me for over a week, I finally went to the walk in clinic, and they gave me antibiotics, and 30 T3s. The T3s I ate like candy, did NOTHING for the pain, and only helped with the fever like symptons these abscesses comes with, and knocked me out. Just got back from the doctor, and he prescribed me Dilaudid, 8 mg tablets, and so far I've only taken one, but I can walk almost normally for the first time in almost two weeks, wihtout grunting and wincing in pain.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I was given Dilaudid after being in the hospital for bowel obstruction. Worst pain of my LIFE! In IV form its amazing, total pain relief in 60 seconds. It was hard to get perscribed in pill form but finally found a pain doctor that agreed it was a better drug for me. I now take 4mg pills every 6-8 hours and can lead a normal life. There are no side effects, but it is hard to get a script for. Take only as doctor says, DO NOT take more.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I take dilaudid for a severe kidney stone condition. I take the pills at home (4mg), although I start by cutting them in half and only take 2mg to start. If 2mg don't help, I take the other half of the pill for a total of 4mg. I take the dilaudid in combination with MS Contin. Like many others have said, I have tried many other pain medications and dilaudid is the ONLY thing that helps me with my pain. Morphine does not help (it makes me very sick - although the long acting MS Contin is ok).
When the pills are not able to control my pain, or after surgery I take IV dilaudid, and this is the best pain medication. There have been times I've been curled in a ball in tears the pain has been so bad and this works instantly.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: Great pain narcotic, works in about 20 minutes after oral administration. I am on 4 mg tablets, every six hours, usually one a day does the trick. I also take it in conjuction with 30mg of Oxycontin ER. I can actually get out of bed and do something. Be advised though that withdrwals could be severe. I had withdrawls after last dose twelve hours ago, so you must taper off. Do it with your doctors help though.

Dilaudid (hydromorphone) for Pain: I've had chronic back and neck pain for over 10 years and drugs like Vicodin, Lorcet and others like them quit working. Was taking MS Contin for 5 years and it started to loose its effect. Started the Dilaudid 2 years ago and still doing well with it. Without it I would have a constant pain level of 8 to 9.5 and unable to do anything. With it my pain level runs 4 to 6 and I'm able to do some things. I've been unable to work for 10 years but now can do some wood working with a little lathe.
