Title: dilaudid
Post by backeotomy on Nov 21^st, 2006, 11:15pm

anyone have experience with dilaudid for pain? just started today in addition to morphine sulfate which i've been taking for quite some time. heavy "waffles" as i refer to the onset of eye aches but no progression past about a 6 - 7.

Hi mate - just so you know, most of us check all the message boards so there is no need to post the same question in both !!

Iv never tried diuladid but i have tried morphine and dihydrocodine, bot of which did squat.

narcotic painkillers are pretty useless against clusters.

welcome to the nuthouse by the way ;;D

I have just about every narc you can mention. the relief you get only comes when you take enough to knock you out. You still suffer through the attack ,but your uncons. and dont remember it. My wife always told me after 400 or 500 mg of demerol that I would moan and groan, toss and turn, but I would be totally out of it. Getting over the addiction is the real evil of the narcs. Be careful and good luck. John

5 shots in an ER once and did nothing but make me stoned.
Still had massive pain but couldn't pace the way I wanted to.
