For Pain "I had a negative reaction to Dilaudid after a surgical procedure. It made me itch horribly, and my mouth broke out on the inside. I had to stop taking it after two days when the palms of my hands and the bottoms of my feet were itching like crazy. I was then prescribed Ultram, which made me so nauseous I had to go to bed. I finally just quit the pain medicines after four days and coasted along with ibuprofen until I was over the surgery completely."

For Chronic Pain "I have been given Dilaudid for sciatic nerve pain and took only 0.05 mg at 6 pm, and it is now 4:30 am and I have not been able to fall asleep. If you cannot sleep, so I put up with the pain and ditched this pill. I felt like I was on a slow high, oh my God, what a horrible feeling."

For Pain "I have been given Dilaudid through an IV on several occasions, and on all those occasions, I'd rather just dealt with the pain. Today, the hospital gave me Dilaudid and some nausea medication... On every occasion that I have been given Dilaudid through IV, instantly my head gets too heavy, I begin to get dizzy and lightheaded. I always get VERY NAUSEOUS and confused, so I usually sleep it off because I hate the feeling it gives me. This time was different, I fell asleep about 40 minutes after getting the medication, and every couple of minutes I kept waking up. All of a sudden, I became very hot and clammy while feeling very cold."

For Pain "Was given this medicine after bunion surgery and not told what the effects might be. Got very tired, nauseated, and very dry mouthed immediately. Was also given nausea medicine with this. Went into respiratory arrest and cardio arrest at the same time. Thank God I was revived. I was clinically dead. This stuff is terrible."

For Chronic Pain "Brand name only! The brand name Dilaudid works great and zero side effects. Mallinckrodt generic only makes you nauseous and does not relieve the pain the same way."

For Pain "Love it. I had 2 mg for pancreatitis in the hospital. I hear the pills are good for severe pain, I have never had the pill, though. It can make you sick to your stomach, though."
