"I don't know if it's me or what, but I was given Demerol (along with Vistaril and Vicodin) after my ankle surgery, and it hasn't helped at all. I was admitted to the hospital twice, where I received Dilaudid. That did the trick. I had a screw removed from my ankle, which had shattered, and the doctor drilled through my fibula bone. After I was released, I was given Vicodin to be taken one hour after my Demerol and Vistaril. That seemed to work. I was surprised that the Demerol needed a 'kick,' so to speak. I would definitely ask my doctor for something more again if I ever had to go back on it."

"Demerol is the only medicine that works for quick relief of pain. I suffer from chronic pain syndrome. I take 30 mg of methadone 4 times a day and then a fentanyl 50 mg patch every 48 hours to control the pain."

"This pain medication worked the best for me, because I have tried several different medications, this one really helped me the most, and I had the lowest dosage amount, and it still helped me way more than anything else that I have tried."

"Just want to say Demerol is the best pain reliever I've ever taken. I received it in the ER through IV. I have Crohn's disease, and it worked better than anything else I was given."

"This medicine was given to me at the hospital after my car accident. It worked great, except it made me nauseated, and I vomited after a large dose. Works really well."

"I suffer from severe chronic migraines. At least once a week, I have to go in and get a shot. I hate to do it, but the pain is so severe that that is the only option right now."

"Got Demerol at the ER when I had severe abdominal pain. I watched her inject it while I was sitting up. I immediately felt warm and got a head rush. Great medication, took ALL the pain away."

"I've found Demerol, given through IM and IV, to be one of the most effective narcotic 'pain relievers' given to me after a very traumatic accident and a broken neck."

"Demerol, when given through IV, is best when mixed with an anti-nausea medication called Phenergan. It makes the Demerol work a lot better than when given alone."
