I have been opiate tolerant due to severe injuries. Upon an emergency surgery, The only drug that worked for my pain was dilaudid. I took it in high doses(12mg), and the morphine would not phase my pain. When mixed with fentanyl inj., it worked best. I will never forget the level of comfort I had, when I was in terrible agony. This is the best drug ever made. Published: September 21, 2007 ::

I have not found a great drug to overcome severe pain, just take the edge off. Dilaudid can do this, but, take notice of dosage; make certain that your doctor is very knowledgeable of all possible interactions. This is an extremely strong narcotic. Published: May 09, 2009 ::

This medication like to have blown my head off. My ears started ringing, severe dizziness, nausea, vomiting, it was awful. I was given two different types of anti nausea meds in iv to stop the side effects, however, didn't work. I slept for a full day from 1 mg of dilaudid iv. Will never have the stuff again! I thought I was overdosed. Published: November 12, 2008 ::

It is good as far as helping ease pain. I have used it for both post-surgical pain & monthly severe uterine pain. The only problem I had with it was even after taking one pill, I would have these dizzy spells off & on over a few weeks period. Drink alot. I found it dehydrated me alot. And, if you're prone to constipation, take a laxative to help. Published: October 09, 2008 ::
