"It was administered in the lowest dosage for post-op pain. No side effects and very effective. Motrin, Tylenol, and other OTC pain relief are lacking compared to this. Morphine, IMO, is not even close to effective. I have a low tolerance for pain (distracting at the least). I have a hard time understanding why proven pain meds are so restricted when very low doses are twice as effective long-term over generic, higher dose, low-effect pain meds. Given a choice, this has been the best chronic pain relief I have experienced. Demerol was discontinued for inpatient use by Morphine. Go figure."

"I have many years' experience as both the patient and caregiver. Dilaudid is an excellent chronic and acute pain medication. Well-tolerated and easily adjustable. All around, I give it a score of 9 out of 10."

"Twice within a calendar year, I was admitted to the ER with gastric distress, accompanied by nausea. Dilaudid was used the first time, the pain went quickly away, and my nausea stopped. The second time, I was given morphine, but it did not work. I asked for Dilaudid specifically. It was given. The pain and nausea went away. I was able to rest/sleep, and after a couple of hours, I felt fine and played golf the next day. For information, alcohol was involved with the first episode but not the last."
