Demerol Reviews

Show: for
Working / Worked
Works via IV in hospital, side effects = twillight zone. Hate the stuff.
Working / Worked
moved on to dilaudid, for me morphine is a joke!
Working / Worked
I get 150 mg + 50 of Phenergan. It's been working, but I've noticed the last few seem to be just a little bit less effective in killing the pain. Memory loss is the worst side effect for me.
Working / Worked
The demerol was great but I saw that it could be very addictive so I was scared of that. But it eased the pain almost instantly so that's what matterd
Working / Worked
well not demerol, oxy long acting 30 mg and 10 mg short acting.. and Chopin for anxiety, plus clotting meds, shots in back, how about everybody else?
Working / Worked
When I have my acute pancreatitis attacks that can't be controlled at home I have to go to the hospital and get doped up enough that I can be oblivious to the pain until it calms down.
Working / Worked
Works great.
Working / Worked
I was only given this while in the hospital. It did work for me, but overtime I became allergic to it and had a seizure.
Working / Worked
no. the er gave it to me.
Working / Worked
Given in hospital. Loved it, but it was short term pain relief during first panreatitis flare up.
