Meperidine for Pain "I was having nerve pain after having dental work done. The nerve was compressed and it felt like I was getting shocked every couple of seconds. Demerol is, first off, 50% less effective as a per oral medication (tablet) than it is when it's given IM or IV. So I would have to take 100 mg 4x/day. It did mute the pain, but it never went away and it wasn't a medication I was able to continue really functioning on because of the sedation."

Meperidine for Pain "I remember being given this in the ER to abort a migraine I had going for 5 days straight. It made me loopy, and within no time at all, I fell asleep. I remember waking up groggy, still in some pain, but overall this is good."

For Pain "I have hurt with migraines since I was 3 years old. I am now 46 and have been diagnosed with familial hemiplegic migraines! Most people suffer with this condition and don't even know it! DEMEROL seems to be the only thing that actually helps to ease my pain and allows me to function, even though it does make me drowsy. But the migraine goes, no pain."

Meperidine for Pain "Meperitab is the best drug for short-term pain relief, as it is Demerol in a pill. Gives euphoria and causes drowsiness when taken orally."

Meperidine for Pain "I was given Demerol for pain in the ER about (3) days ago for terrible menstrual cramps, and I can say it is definitely a 10 for pain, but the side effects are not the best. I have been drowsy, thirsty, and still a little dizzy, but I guess it depends on the individual."
