HYDROMORPHONE (DILAUDID) - PHARMACIST REVIEW - #79

[@DrugTalk]

Have you ever used Hydromorphone? What was your experience like with it?

[@KIGenerated]

i take 24mg in the morning and 16-20mg in the evening and sometimes 2,6 non retard. it helps good against pain but if you take it for longer period of time you get addicted. abuse potential is very high because of the side effects.

[@murvaughni.s9066]

I STILL am on dilaudid 😭 Its the hardest battle ive ever encountered. Ive been trying to get off of it for 3 years now. Been on it for 8 years. I need help because I really cant do it by myself & that's what really scares me.

[@AmziAsher]

@@murvaughni.s9066 your doctor will help support you if you simply ask for help. Keep a pain diary daily to chart your issues so you can both work together to accomplish or come close to where you’d like to be. Honesty is always best.

[@lizmixson5258]

I got it at the ER via IM. I remember getting into the car to leave, and then waking up 23 hours later in bed. No clue how i got there.

[@xz5976]

Yes Sir I’m on a safe supply program in Canada , I’m on kadian (morphine) as a maintenance drug . And the dilaus are to replace heroin that is laced w fentanyl on the streets . I’m on 72mg a day right now I use iv

[@buddysyst3m]

Dilaudid gave me a lot of relief when I had my accident and almost lost my leg. Truly a wonderful drug if taken responsibly and used in the right setting (and of course the excellent nurses who helped me).

[@Dennzer1]

True. And the so called high is not worth it. Can get scary really really fast. Has no legs. Can turn on you on a dime, so to speak. But, can control pain very well, when used correctly, and when you are not a ultra fast metabolizer ( which requires a DNA test of some kind I believe, which I also think should be the future of opoid prescription exploration tactics used by Doctors... if only... )

[@JeffreyOsb]

You mentioned pancreatitis. I have acute pancreatitis and when I've been in the ER or ICU dilaudid is the only thing that helped. Morphine did nothing and for whatever reason fentanyl, well, I felt something but it didn't help with the pain. I feel like a weird drug seeker when I go to the hospital and actually ask for dilaudid but, well, when you're in pain, you need what you need.

[@bricub72]

The mass of drug addicts out there have made doctors afraid of prescribing proper pain medicine. I, like you, have had pancreatitus and morphine simply does not work.

[@YooJTM]

Same here had acute and chronic since I was 6.

[@JeffreyOsb]

@@YooJTM I'm so sorry. I don't want to say I understand what you've been through but I... understand lol. It's a terrible, terrible pain. A doctor in the past actually called my wife out of the room and asked if I was telling the truth... that one hurt my soul. I didn't want her to be placed in that position. I hope that never happens to you and you get the meds you need.

[@djday1974]

Same here with the chronic pain of several medical conditions I have. Nothing helped me except dilauded. I guess my doctor received a warning about this med because of the actions taken to fight the war on opioids. I did not go through any withdrawal from the dilauded stop - and have never done any street drugs in my life. After waiting 4 months, I am now on some kind of opioid/antagonist medicine which isn’t supposed to be addicting. Its name is Belbuca. After 4 months I’m already at the max dose of 900 mg and I might as well be taking 2 Motrin. They said this was their last option. Like a lot of people with chronic pain - I can’t Imaging living the rest of my 44 year life in pain like this. I’d rather become dependent on a drug and feel better. I Was/still am in agony every day and am just waiting for ANYTHING I could be rx’d to cut some edge off the 24/7 severe pain. Don’t these lawmakers and doctors have any fighting back power to allow hydromorphone when it is clearly needed? It’s like I’m in a dream and can’t understand this cruel and totally avoidable pain🥺. (Sorry for the venting...)

[@slimyman116]

@@bricub72 stupid take. Drug users are gonna take drugs either way. Gov making pain pills impossible to get is dumb.

[@rekunta]

This drug is absolute heaven when taken IV. I have a tumor in my chest that occasionally eats into my brachial plexus and puts me in horrific pain. I go to the ER on very bad days for these shots because at that point even strong pills can’t touch it. The IV injections are _looooooovely._ I can literally feel my brain fizzing when I’m flying in the clouds. Pain relief is why I go and I’ve a legitimate medical reason, but hell if I don’t love the side effects of this drug. The warmth flowing through your body, the warm blanket of contentment falling over you, the feeling of floating off the bed on a warm cushion near borderline unconsciousness. It’s like an elongated orgasm that lasts for hours, and I have no shame in admitting I savor every second of it when I need it.

[@bekeneel]

Hope ur cancer is under control :). Hydromorphone is just like heroin, even stronger. Kratom is a good alternative if you need painkillers daily, saved my life.

[@angieallsup]

He nailed it! My 96’yr old dad has been taking this. He has fallen several times taking this devil drug. We couldn’t figure out why he was not eating and couldn’t swallow. He ways 125lbs from not being able to eat. He was breathing heavily, which he has never done before, out of breath easily, and was pretty much a zombie! So I researched the side effects and he nailed every one of the symptoms and reasons why he should NOT be taking this extremely strong painkiller! I’m so angry at his dr for prescribing him this opioid!

[@AuditRecon]

The 10/325 Percocet along with 15mg Morphine I'm currently taking is not working to relieve my pain. I'm thinking about asking my VA doc to try this HYDROMORPHONE. Thanks

[@smellycat264]

Wow 😮 what did you have done ? Perks are good strong pain killers

[@AuditRecon]

[@sissywizard1764]

I had injections of this every 3 hours in the hospital after having brain surgery, I genuinely felt 0 pain it was great. But it is very addictive because of the euphoria, glad they never let me refill my script. And to anyone curious enough to be reading these comments, it had a strange way of making my whole body tighten and ache for 3-5 seconds after injection before a warm, full-body relaxation.

[@marcosnuno1336]

On gawd that shit is good

[@marcosnuno1336]

& yeah my chest would hurt when dosing me but then bam it’s lit

[@jordanlamas9854]

A patient received 0.5mg of dilaudid for a bone break. Almost immediately they became tachycardic and experienced the feeling of someone sitting on their chest, shortness of breath, and nausea. Only previous medical history is ADHD and childhood asthma that no longer requires an inhaler. No known drug allergies. ECG showed ST changes. Patient was 24 in good physical shape. Is this something more than an allergic reaction ?

[@petersalt]

I take a slow release and a quick release daily for Crohn's and colitis. When I first started taking it it was a higher dose of 4mg and I found that strong so I reduced it in half so that I could function with lower levels of pain instead of being a zombie all day.

[@therealamon]

You can't "abuse" inanimate objects, moron. Everyone's pain is just as legitimate as anyone else's. Having a government permission slip from a government-sanctioned man in a white coat doesn't make you any more "legitimate" than anyone else.

With Chrons disease I've had to use this navy times. Usually 1 to 2mg but have been given up to 4mg. After major surgery it's usually by a pca 0.2-.04 q. 6 min. It works and I wean easier when I've got the ability to cut back myself and be able to use the liquid Dilaudid. When I get the liquid I can take 1mg to 2 mg every 3 hours or 3mg to 4mg every six to 8 hours. My current dose is 2mg about every 3.5 to 4 hours. During the night I take 4mg before bed and sleep usually 9 to 10 hours on that dose.

[@LanaMarieASMR]

I'm being prescribed this and I gotta eat 12 or more 8mg pills per day after my 100mg methadone wear's off by 7pm and that's only 11 hour's on average after my dose at around 8:00 to 9:00 am depending when the methadone man get's here to my house as he delivers it directly to my bed where I spend about 97% of my life here. It's my choice since I'm bored of life at 21 year's old living alone no parents or friend's whatsoever. Been addicted to fent since around may 2022 or 2021 don't really remember as the first year I moved here I was stoned all day every single day all hours wake and bake till I pass out unable to sleep without pot basically.

I just had both my hips replaced due to steroids in my astma medications over the years and now my right knee might need to be replaced. I've been on Oxycodone for a long time and I myself more than my doctors limit the dosage as much as possible to avoid addiction. My question is to you guys is it better to very medications on a weekly or monthly monthly basis to help BREAK any addiction? Scenario: Take the lowest dosage of Oxycodone as I can and switch to something like Dilaudid as an offset to void addiction to one or both drugs? I want to hear from people that ACTUALLY went through something simalar and knows what they are talking about. Please only answer if you have FACTUAL or personal information based on FACT and not Horseshit you think.

[@ronaldwolf2599]

Bill Randolph; Bill; My doctor just recommended Hydromophone, to replace Percocet. I too, fear the addiction aspect of taking these drugs. That said, my lung cancer that has gone into my liver, seems to be causing the pain. It's really bad, and it seems I have no choice. Maybe at 84, I shouldn't be so concerned about the addiction part?

😅 "horseshit" No that wouldn't be useful since there is cross-tolerance between opioids too, since they work similar. And once u would take Hydromorf, the Oxy wouldn't feel as strong anymore or u'd need more.

[@robinpattee9709]

What is the drug schedule or class like V ?

[@lol-ce1og]

What is the highest possible dosage of instant release dilaudid in the us? Thats a question that I'd really like to have answered because here in france, the strongest version has only 2.6 mg per capsule (extended release tablets - for a period of 24 hours - go up to 64 mg). I always have to take two of 2.6 mg initially to treat my pain due to tolerance.

[@lol-ce1og]

It's probably because the pharma companies here in europe have higher restrictions and they're afraid of getting sued so they only offer low dose of instant release tablets because of people with zero tolerance. I wish our docs here in europe would be as cool and calm as the docs in the us - I suffer from painful neuropathic pain and I was treated over two years with low dose opioids like hydrocodone until my doc realized that I'm taking my medication responsible *then* after two years of pain and sleepless nights, I finally got dilaudid prescribed.

[@Mark-xg8xf]

Oral oxycodone is way better than oral dilaudid because the bioavailability of oxycodone orally is super high, around 95-98% and dilaudid orally is maybe only around 40-50% if that. Now if your talking about IV, hands down dilaudid is one of the most euphoric opioids out there, even more so than H from what I hear, just much shorter acting. Was lucky enough to get IV dilaudid once at the hospital when I had excruciating pain but am way too scared of 💉 to ever go there outside of a hospital setting. But orally, dilaudid was pretty disappointing imo.
