Dilaudid Replaced By Morphine

Updated

So I've been in the hospital for a while. I've used Dilaudid for roughly about 13 or 14 days through my pic line and IV . So they unsubscribed me to it but they say I can have Morphine. The Morphine isn't helping much and the pain was a 7-10 on a scale of pain and 10 being the worse. How long will it take till I can't take Morphine and it helps cause it really hasn't helped? I don't know what's wrong with me yet, but the pain does come back and fourth to a 5-7.

What was the dosage of the Dilaudid and what is the dosage of the Morphine?

There are two possible problems here, the first is that you may not be on an equivalent dose of the Morphine and the second is that it just may not work for you.

Learn more Morphine details here.

Not every medication works for everyone that tries it, which is why there are usually several options in any therapeutic drug class.

Have you talked to the doctors about it? Have they made any adjustments?

Im going through the same thing myself they sent me home with hydromorphone tabs 4 mg it just dulls the pain too. the docs are mailing me some liquid oxycotin too I like that better because it doesnt take that long like pills too kick in for the pain. The hydromorphone tab is suppossed to be dilaudid just in a pill form. They explain to me dilaudid might have seem more effective because it was straight to the blood stream. I have acute pancreatitis

People stay off this stuff its really bad for you. These doctors prescribe these opioids without realizing what they are doing to people. I was diagnosed with bone cancer stage 4 and was given all these meds a year ago. Im currently on dilauded thru a pcu pump and want to get off 100%. This stuff is very addicting and puts you thru hell. My advice get off while you can and don't do it if you haven't tried it. Its not worth the pain and aggravation. Im going to try to get off and only hope that god gives me the strength to never allow these doctors to put me back on them. Just put your faith in god trust me the little rush you get off of it is not worth the aggravation and what you are going thru. God bless all of you and only hope some of you will take my advice.

Thank you for your post. I stop taking Dilaudid at 8:00pm last night thru prayer and intercession . I was on it last year due to recurring ovarian cancer. I had to get off percoset , dilaudid and others that I cant remember right now. .Its going to be 24 hours without it. Im drinking ;lots of water and eating as much as I can. I was able to sleep for 5 hours last night. So far I'm feeling ok. I had my moments. I agree that many people agree to take this drugs and many like me battling cancer sometimes is not a choice. Be praying for you too. Have a blessed and peaceful day full of His presence and free of drugs. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2017.
