Dilaudid vs Morphine

Why haven't you tried remicade, it's not a pain killer however it's to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Some people who suffer from this started taking remicade called it a wonder drug. The only thing about this drug is it's very expensive unless you have insurance to cover it.

Your problem is taking to much percocets the 10 is fine thats the pain medicine the 325 is the tylenol this is the thing that will shoot out your liver faster than anything you've ever seen and at 10per day this cant go on...they don't want you to take the straight instant release Oxycodone not cotton which is what there making everyone switch to which should work if your sensitive to drugs and dont like taking so many per day hell its less work on your liver which you know your going to use however you blow that organ out and your fcuked big time...Morphine is for junkies thats why they give it out in ER rooms /hospitals the second you go out of the ER or your pain is severely intense then you'll get the good stuff AKA Dilaudid now with this drug you must teach yourself to taper regularly this is something that the doctor isn't going to tell you have faith in what Im going to say here if you take anything milligram wise doesn't matter if your pain exceeds your medication then your good to take more if its not then take less until your full pain comes back fully otherwise your playing with your brain...say you get prescribed 4mg instant release 6 times a day do it as directed until the third day on that day lower your meds by half until you reach the next day then double down if your pain is intense or take a normal doseage or if you can live with the pain go for it after taking the initial to knock out the pain fully... judge this by taking a whole one and taking a part of another one.... and see where your limit is at..... you have to test this.... and you must be able to control your thoughts.... and wishes..... along with your will..... to do more and more .........dont .........after knocking the pain out...... lower your next dose to a half of a dose .....and play with your pain based on a daily thing .....that happens in the moment....... cause if you take it as directed like an antibiotic......... you will blow out you receptors........ your withdrawl symptoms will be unbearable......... you'll be sweating more than youd like..... in places one shouldn't........ pain may increase mentally.... example you take it and it doesn't work anymore......... time to switch meds....... cause your being overly posioned....... by something that has no affect to your brain...work at it just like a cigarette smoker that doesn't have nicotine patches to help stop................... so how does one stop without going thru some form of post dramatic street disorder...... answer to all your problems....... with narcotics is......... TAPER ......not like three days of Tapering ...........I'm talking like 2 to 4 months .........depending on the level ....you can't sit there and judge people on the drugs they hate to like..... to take... and citicize people for being weak.... to there own body battles..... cause unless you've felt the pain..... you'll never know what a blessing Pain killers can become to one or many............ that suffer and suffer........... now if your pissed because your friend got hooked...... because they broke there arm...... and decided to........ sniff the drugs into there brain............ and then you go and blame the pharmacys...... and doctors that provide a service........... to those experiencing hell.....I do feel that there should be tighter restrictions upon certain drugs given to certain people for bullshyt diseases and healed broken limbs.......... trying to milk the system............ what you need to do buddy .....is get on our level....... and do something about your friend......... that lost control.......... because your friend was quick to give up on them..... and instead of helping...... your pushing blame...I hope you never have a problem in your life...... cause you seem like the person that would cry themselves into a darkhell and never regain the strength to get out....Sincerely The Red Coyote

Dear Sir,
You are simply mistaken. You don't know what you don't know. Some patients suffer from life long chronic acute pain that must be addressed with a variety of treatments including narcotics. The reasoning and list of facts are FAR too long to list in this venue. However, this note goes to those that FEAR they ARE addicted. You are. I agree with the guest listed. However, it's a planned addiction. You go to Pain Clinics, not GP's who, indeed, need to worry about losing their license because chronic severe pain is not their specialty. Taking methadone, percocet, dilauded, oxy's, all aid in pain management. Very few people experience a good life on these meds. They experience a life worth living. Without the meds, severe pain will inevitably send these neuralgia victims into pain induced heart attacks/high blood pressure, strokes, writhing in agony on the flour, dehydrated from puking from the pain, unable to eat, think, or process anything. The only know throughout their being is PAIN. Pain like a raw nerve exposed to the air with no meds like a root canal being done in the area of the acute pain..pulling and pinching nerves within the teeth but never cuting them to relieve the pain terror. This pain... THAT pain... It DESERVES any medical intervention that works without killing them or causing deadly damage to the body. Chronic SEVERE raw nerve pain sufferers UNITE!!! LORD BLESS US to dare to aim for a life worth living. Bless us to overlook the stigma that the world of "THEY" have brought about that ALL drug users are addicts in a very detrimental way. This is just NOT true. Some pain CAN kill you. You can slow your breathing autonomically, not even thinking about it. Trying to still every part of you to lessen the pain as if no movement would help. Be addicted UNDER a PAIN CLINIC professionals care. They also can do nerve blocks, use an altertered version of botox now as never before to aid us in numbing the area of most pain for a period of time, without the fatigue! Do NOT succumb to the bullying. The bully's who tell you to get off all pain meds, IF YOU ARE CORRECTLY BEING MANAGED ON A MONTHLY TREATMENT PLAN, is just very misinformed. ABUSERS of narcotics get a high we do not experience. They don't understand that. All the pain med goes to the pain. It doesn't give high's like abusers get. I can initially give us a nice warm trip on the first few uses if we are lucky. My first time on morphine was a nightmare. It didn't touch my pain. I thought I would sleep as I was admitted with extreme nerve pain..and I never slept all night. No warm fuzzy. Nothing GOOD from it at all. Finally after years of it, I had brain surgery to stop 2 of the misfiring nerves so I could speak again. That was a 100% success. The ear nerve still awaits a cure while medication keeps my heart on a fairly regular beat. Blood pressure still goes up when the pain gets out of control. Found breathing to be my aid in lessening the radiating pain into my heart. Hang in there. KEEP getting new opinions. Commit to it once a year. Just TRY a new specialist. You never know where the genius doctor who is not afraid to address rare disorders. Or you find a specialist for your extremely rare condition that most doctors never see in their life time. WE ALL in THAT boat deserve to free our mind from guilt or shame in using narcotics to make life tolerable instead of unbearable. I don't believe anyone's higher power nor my God would ask me to go off all the discoveries that help pain to keep people alive. If I quit all pain killers and died of shock or heart attack or stroke..I would feel it would be nearly like committing suicide. ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE in LESS Pain and don't discuss any of your meds to family that worries. Just talk with your doctor monthly and keep on track. Use only as directed and you will make it another day. Another year...maybe more decades depending on your age. Wash away your guilt. Go gently meditate to forgive yourself and those who harp on you. If people ask, from now on, just say "my dr. has me on a treatment plan that is working for me. I have fatigue from this disorder or disability so I will need rest. That's the best you can offer me is, rest when I need it, and a fun day out when I'm on my good day(s). So be it.

PLEASE REMOVE THIS POST< IT IS A DUPLICATE OF THE CORRECTED POST BELOW

i take hydrocodone for 3-4 years straight sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn't....dont know how dilaudid pill form works but the shot form was the best stuff i have ever had that eased the pain and let me sleep....it wouldnt hurt for you to try that medicine to see how it works...im sure it works better than morphine....morphine never really helped me too much

Not sure of your age. If you are older note this Dilaudid can and will cause short term memory. My Mom could not tolerate Morphine (she crawled out of her skin, etc). During intensive care the nurse told me more than once that we need to get her off this drug and mentioned short term memory. Well Mom now has moderate dementia as a result from a combo of this drug and a 6 long hour surgery.

What goes around, comes around. Be careful what you say!

Don't lump everyone together. Slot of us have legitimate pain issues. I can't even walk in the am without taking a pain pill. How would u like to feel like u got hit by a MACK truck every day of your life. Pain meds are a necessity to even get up and function.I did not ask for this and for years I worked through the pain till I could not take it anymore. Good for you that you have a job....I miss my job terribly. Consider yourself blessed!!

I like both. Diaudid works a lot better for me. I have been on Morphine for about 19 months. I take 15mg morphine every 4 hours. I have taken as much as 110mg, really doesn't phase me. I was getting low on prescription so I decided not to refill it. I went cold turkey on the morphine. That was a really bad move, I ended up in the hospital. They gave 30mg morphine and I felt fine in about 30 minutes. Glad my Dr I see was the on call ER Dr that night. I have one more hospital stay coming up, hopefully no more than 10 days. For now I would say the diaudid works best, the tolerance I have built up towards morphine is way high.

Where in God's name do you get off judging the sick ? And how do you go from a chronic pain syndrome to getting high on your accomplishments ? People in pain are addicted to analgesics like you are addicted to food. We can't live or in many cases work without the relief. Let the one without sin cast the first stone....

I disagree. Even if taken as prescribed and as needed, the person can develop an addiction. Evidently it doesn't start out that way but often enough it leads to that result.

no problems in switching up I take Demerol 50mg an 4mg dilaudid sometimes both at same time so no problems at all the liver issue is real but that dolt should know to ck yer liver and kidney functions 1x a yr ive been on Demerol 20 yrs dilaudid 6mths take as needed only and the guest that seems to think he / she knows us all shut the hell up you hsvr no idea what yer saying so please shut up we take for pain relief not as a pleasure for getting high

It would have little effect on "pain" that is purely in your head. Fibromyalgia is simply the name for people who claim they feel pain for which there is no medical reason. Save the pain Jed's for people with h actual pain.

Obviously this person has never dealt withcchronic pain before. They don't know what they're talking about. Dilaudid is very effective in treating chronic pain. Yes it can be addictive if you are weak minded like this person obviously is but if you take it as prescribed and what it's intended for then you should be okay. There's nothing wrong with wanting to lead a normal life and you can't if you suffer from chronic pain. This person should have surgery and not be given anything for the pain then they might see what it's like to live with chronic pain. I have degenerate disk disease and before I got on pain management there were days I couldn't get out of bed and I couldn't sleep until I was so exhausted I would pass out. Now I can at least tolerate the pain. My point is that just because you don't know what is going on don't give you the right to pass judgment on someone and call them an addict.
