Experiences with

Dilaudid

Switched to Temgesic 200mcg, but went into immediate withdrawal of my Dilaudid. Is this usual??? I am DESPERATE, please help!!!

But I still have no idea how to continue taking the Dilaudid pills until the patch kicks in, since I see it can take a day or so. I just don’t want to be taking the normal Dilaudid pill dosage and then boom - suddenly the patch kicks in and I’m unknowingly OD’ing on opioids or something.

I’m also on Dilaudid 2 mg and Trazadone. I avoid the triggers . I don’t know where to go with this, but I can’t go on this way. I have not had a night’s sleep in years. I’ve done the iron infusion about a year ago without improvement . If there’s any suggestions I’d really welcome them.

One note, I was much more comfortable with the first session upon awakening, waiting, chamber, foley removal due to a touch of dilaudid intraop ( ty Dr Altenhofen!) than I was with the second session ( no dilaudid). Flew home two days later.

For reference her first night in the ICU they had to give her Narcan twice for a very small dose of IV Dilaudid. So they gave it to her Friday. It makes her out of it for about 48 hours at least not super out of it but just not normal either.

I have been taking Gabapentin, Trazadone, and Dilaudid. I had been trying to reduce the amt of Gabapentin due to the awful side effects which render me unable to function. I had reduced from 1800 to 1000 with no marked issues until now.

It was so bad that I was screaming for hours and it took a dozen shots of dilaudid for the pain to be tolerable. I have had a pseudocyst drained, have irregular duct dialation, side duct dialation and pancreatic atrophy. I have EPI for which I am prescribed PERT (Zenpep 40K).

They are prescribing a Fentanyl patch for him because the dilaudid doesn’t always work and he takes it every six hours. When he’s in pain, it’s horrible. Anyone else ever have whole brain radiation? 😢

PSA <.1 He is taking long-acting morphine and dilaudid to manage the pain.

lidocaine and bupivicaine cream, Quviviq (only thing that worked somewhat but unaffordable for me and I don’t qualify for aid), Belsomra, amitriptyline, melatonin, slow Fe, lyrica, Clonidine, Halcion, Mobic, zofran,phenergan, Tramadol, prednisone, fentanyl patches, oxycodone, lunesta, hydrocodone, Dilaudid

The oncologist and palliative care nurse prescribed morphine and dilaudid to help reduce the pain. These pain meds are helping although he can still feel pain and gets breakthrough pain. Ct scan, MRI, bone scan all show something in the mandible so a PSMA PET was also done.

The nurses came to my rescue , I was wrapped up tighter than the Mummy with blankets, finally a small shot of dilaudid got the job done.

Interestingly, these were written under the influence of Dilaudid for pain management. Over rainbows of rushing thoughts The Birds of Paradise come flying to my love on perfect wings of sound. She shudders. and in an instant becomes one with the Sun. ——————————- ANOTHER DAY She sighs.

I take 1800 mg of Gabapentin daily( 800 early evening and 1600 at night) plus Dilaudid 2 mg at night and Trazadone 100 mg at night. I continue to be up at least twice as they over ride whatever drugs I take. I’m very conscientious over what I eat , and am caffeine free and alcohol free.

I was given a shot of Dilaudid, 2 tablets of Robaxin and a Zofran tablet and sent home. I canceled my physical therapy for today. The calves of my legs are sore today. Does anyone have these problems and are they related to my diagnosis of PSP?

He takes 4 mg of Dilaudid as needed for pain and Lyrica. The pain management nurse just added Cymbalta also for pain. He's still mobile (limited) but uses a cane and tires easily. I'm looking for any suggestions and information. Thank you.

But I'm now past the worst of it, using Buprenorphine/Naloxone 2mg film, after trying Methadone and Dilaudid. I'm now tapering the Buprenorphine, currently at 0.5mg each evening with no RLS breakthroughs.

My husband has been sedated 15 days with propofol and is on dilaudid too. They removed sedation a few days ago and gave him over a day to respond to commands. He didn't. They sedated again and now they reduced it to only 5 mcg and its been over 24 hrs and he won't respond to commands.

His pain is manageable most of the time with 150 microgram fentanyl patch, 5mg of methadone 2x/day and norco and dilaudid for breakthrough. He was in very bad shape before this trip, had an amazing 7 days while he was there, but the benefits quickly dissipated when he returned home.
