    After a motorcycle accident I was given morphine for pain (not effective but later discovered dose was probably too little for my size) but was later treated with with hydromorphone...HIGHLY effective!

    I have a couple of illnesses resulting in chronic pain often. This visit to the hospital was very helpful. I had a great doctor. This doctor and I know each other very well because of my frequent trips to the hospital therefore he's already aware of my conditions. Due to him knowing much about my medical history he was able to treat me perfectly with this medication. It was very effective.

    I was on this medication following pulmonary embolisms (5) in my lungs and near my heart. However, it is VERY addicting! I found myself wanting a dose whether I was in pain or not. Be careful not to misuse this medication.
