Dilaudid-HP for Chronic Pain User Reviews

"I had surgery that was outpatient but was put under general anesthesia, which to me means it is serious. Vicodin does not work for me. I am allergic to Percocet. I specifically asked for Demerol. My doctor gave me Dilaudid. The worst! Nausea, lightheaded, no pain relief or positive effects, but he claimed it was stronger, therefore should be better. I'm not a doctor, but I know what works on my body. He could have just given me a smaller dosage of Demerol. Instead of 30 that don't work, I would have taken 12 that do."

"Given instead of oxycodone, was told it is much stronger/potent. Since I started requiring higher doses because my body became used to the dose. Did not help me, made me nauseous and gave me a headache. I get the whole government trying to crack down on opiate abuse, but for those of us that live in constant intolerable pain, it is an endless battle to get pain relief, whether it's from DR, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies manufacturing bad generics. Sometimes I feel it would be easier to... well, you can imagine."
