For Anesthetic Adjunct "For years, whenever I had surgery, minor or major, I would be very, very sick afterwards, as in vomiting for hours and having to be hospitalized after minor outpatient procedures. An anesthesiologist figured out that Dilaudid might be the answer. Bless him for that discovery. I have not been sick since."

For Pain "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."

For Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."

For Anesthetic Adjunct "The only medication that works towards a quality of life that is good, with no side effects! I have had chronic pain for multiple reasons, including cancer. Thank you to my doctor for understanding and finding the pain relief that is right for me!"

For Pain "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."

For Chronic Pain "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."
