For Chronic Pain "I have real pain but have been treated as drug addict. MY addiction is being pain free so I can work, and socialize with my friends & family. I had a back operation in 2000 not long afterwards the leg(sciatica) pain came back. I was prescribed quick release pain medication. OXY. My new doc weaned me off the oxy and put me on slow release Hydromorph Contin. and now I can function. The doc explained, on quick release tablets my pain is spiking up and down all day long, you have pain and then you take a pill. Time released capsules slowly administer pain relief through the day and it works well for me. This medication has saved my life. Thank you Dr. For first saving my life, and now giving me a life."

For Chronic Pain "As of December 2018 Hydromorph Contin now comes in name brand and generic. My rating of 10/10 is for the original name brand, it has been the only medication that has helped me with my pain besides fentynal, I've tried everything and nothing else works. As for the generics (2/10) made by apotex they are not good for pain relief and they end up giving me a migraine and make me extremely tired. I do not know what the chemical differences are between the name brand and the generics are but there is something that is drastically reducing the effectiveness of the hydromorph. Unfortunately the generics are the only option to be covered by any government insurance. I will be paying the difference to get the name brand from this point on. I suggest that if you're prescribed hydromorph contin to try both the name brand and the generics as I have found that there is a huge difference between the two and one might work better for you."

For Chronic Pain "I was prescribed Hydromorph Contin for extreme pain. I fractured L3 & L4 due to osteoporosis. I also suffer from severe scoliosis. I don't like the tiredness, nausea, and nervousness that I get when I take it. 3 mg every 12 hours and it does nothing for the pain. I have been suffering excruciating pain for 3 years now, and my doctor has tried Codeine Contin, then the Hydromorph Contin. So far, neither of them has taken away the pain. It's becoming insufferable to deal with the pain every day. I pray that the pain clinic I have been attending can help me soon. This amount of pain is a never-ending nightmare."

For Chronic Pain "I was on 6 Percocet a day for chronic pain and the doctor at the chronic pain clinic said I would do better on something that provides longer term pain. He started me out on two 4.5mg hydromorph contin a day with 4 percs for breakthrough pain but the hydromorph contin wasn't giving me near enough relief so the doctor raised it to 3 hydromorph contin a day and cut back the percs to 2 a day. I’m in more pain than ever. I don’t think the hydromorph contin are helping me at all."
