User Reviews for Meperidine

meperidine for Pain: I took meperidine after surgery, it helped greatly for the pain for about 6 hrs. It also helps you sleep and get rest from pain. The only down side was throwing up when I first started taking it, so I had to take nausea pills with it at first.

Demerol (meperidine) for Pain: I have arthritis and have tried many over the counter medicines as Aspirin, Motrin, etc. These medicines increased my diastolic blood pressure upwards of 30 points. (I already have high blood pressure). The doctor then tried Oxycodone and again my BP went significantly up. Hydrocodone had the same result. As a last resort for a pain med I was given Demerol (50MG). No increase in BP and no side effects. It takes upwards of two hours to kick in but does a good job of numbing pain. Apparently I am sensitive to all NSAIDS. (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications).

Demerol (meperidine) for Pain: I was given this for pain associated with Crohn's disease and for a migraine during a hospital stay. It works great for pain, lasting longer than Dilaudid. Only down side is both times it made me throw up even though I was given anti nausea medication 30 minutes beforehand.

Demerol (meperidine) for Light Sedation: I got my tonsils removed and so I have to take it and it makes my body feel tingly, and dizzy but that's also because I take it on an empty stomach since I cannot eat much, it also helps to put you to sleep and sleep through the pain

Demerol (meperidine) for Pain: This medicine is sadly being used less and less in the emergency rooms. I am tolerant to morphine and allergic to many other pain medications. Demerol not only stops the pain but it stops it for a good 14-16 hours if I am given 100 mg IM with 50 mg Gravol. I walk out of the ER on my own like I took a Tylenol. Takes a few hours to kick in but when it does I usually get the best 10-12 hours of sleep which helps decrease the pain since I can rest and let my muscles be at rest. I pray they do not discontinue this medicine. It helps many people for break through pain where others don't, especially for use people with CRPS and Fibromyalgia. It's a miracle medicine for me. I use this about 3 to 4 times a year if needed for breakthrough pain lasting more than 72 hours.

Demerol (meperidine) for Pain: I went into the hospital over the weekend for a pancreas attack. Nothing can be done for you other than pain management.

I loved it, no withdrawal symptoms, no side effects.

Demerol (meperidine) for Pain: I had a blood clot in my left lung. The pain, which morphine wouldn't even come close to touching, was unbearable. Every time I took a breath I would get a sharp stabbing pain. For 3 days I sat in a the chair in my hospital room because I couldn't lay back or put pressure on my back because of the pain. Then one night it got so bad that The nurse called my doctor and was able to give me a shot of Demerol. Needless to say that was the first night I actually slept and pretty comfortably I might add. Within 2 min of the shot the pain was completly gone and I could breath again.

meperidine for Pain: I just had a 14mm kidney stone removed surgically and now have a kidney stent. 2 days after the indwelling stent was placed I began having severe back and abdominal pain. In short intervals the pain was equivalent to a small kidney stone itself. I have been taking Lortab off and on for years for different reasons. I know that they wake me up. Needless to say I had 24 hour pain levels that didn't allow for sleep if I took the Lortab every 4 hours. I told my Doctor that but he wouldn't prescribe any 'sedative' pain relieving medicines. I called in the 3rd day after no sleep and said something MUST be done. He finally prescribed me Demerol 50mg. One didn't do that much however I upped my dose to 2 tablets and I'm currently almost pain free. Good night.

Demerol (meperidine) for Pain: This medication even though only one half absorbed orally was the best pain medicine I have ever used for my Lupus pain. It worked fast and if I was not in Pain in 3-4 hrs. I did not have a hung over effect.

meperidine for Pain: Meperidine is the only medication I have found that eliminates the pain and relaxes me enough to get the rest I need after being in such horrible pain for sometimes many days...

Demerol (meperidine) for Light Sedation: I was given this medicine during my colonoscopy. I'm an individual who is very sensitive to medications and I have an autoimmune disease. I don't like feeling drugged and this medicine gave me no side effects such as nausea or feelings as though I am dying as I had from morphine. I have had anesthesia too...unsure what was in that...but it also made me very nauseous. So this is a medicine I highly recommend if you need to have a medical procedure done but don't want to be completed sedated.
